GIFT CARDS
Lotsa gift card deals during the holiday season. Most are available through 12/31/12. Gift cards can be risky to purchase though. Many restaurants close every year as do many businesses. The gift cards can be worthless unless another business graciously decides to accept them. They usually do so not at face value. So if a business is shaky, it’s best not to get a gift card from them.

BOGOXX DEALS
I’ve been noticing on the BOGO sales that they throw around the BOGO (buy-one-get-one-free) knowing that people automatically think it’s a BOGO deal. However, more and more it’s BOGO50% (buy-one-get 50% off) or if doing the math get each item 25% off. I even saw a BOOGO70% deal – meaning it’s 35% off each. The BOGO makes it seem like a great deal, but when they make the second item a percentage off then it changes the dynamics of the deal. Don’t fall for this sales gimmick!

CYBER MONDAY
Many online sites offer their best prices on the Monday after Black Friday. Be sure you are getting a deal as the prices may not be any better than any other time of the year. Scout the price of the item you want months before you want to purchase it. You’ll know if it’s a deal on Cyber Monday if it goes on sale.

Here are some good Cyber Monday sites:
http://www.cybermondaycentral.com/
http://www.cybermonday.com
http://www.dealnews.com
http://www.amazon.com
http://www.bradsdeals.com
http://www.cybermondayguide.org/
http://www.cybermonday.net
http://www.dealtaker.com/

Before getting something on Cyber Monday or any other day follow prices on the item using http://www.pricespider.com to see if the prices are at their lowest. Make sure a deal is a deal!

Find online coupon codes on http://www.naughtycodes.com, http://www.promotionalcodes.com, and http://www.couponcabin.com.

When shopping online try to get free shipping. Online shopping saves time and gas to go to the store. If they charge for shipping and handling, is it minimal? You should find a larger selection online. Find out if the site price matches. Is there a 30 day price guarantee or longer?

When purchasing online use a credit card that gets you rewards and lowest APR. Find the best credit cards available at http://www.CreditCards.com.

Buy with a credit card in case you have to later dispute the purchase. Some cards extend warranties for an extra year (I got around $200 for a refrigerator repair doing so).

Giant Eagle is doing 20 cent Fuelperks. Buy them before online (or store) shopping.

MY BLACK FRIDAY
I’ve never waited in line outside to get the doorbuster Black Friday deals. I didn’t have plans to wait in any line for an extended period of time this year either, but that changed. I had to stop at Giant Eagle on Thanksgiving. I took a look over at Target and noticed they had gates set up for the Black Friday lines. I didn’t see anyone waiting in them though and it was around 3:30 PM and I knew that they opened at 9 PM. No matter. I was on my way to eat a Thanksgiving feast.

So I finished up dinner enough so that my Toughskins button was ready to ricochet across the dining room. On my way home I decided to drive by Target to see how long of a line there was. To my surprise there was around a couple dozen people. I still was unsure about waiting and even started to leave before I turned around and decided to get in line. It was around 7:00. I got in line and again was unsure if I wanted to wait. Then a gal said that the first 30 get in the door first and then they wait for 30 seconds before another 30 get in. I was number 27. The wait was on.

There was no aromatic people in tents. Just people who showed up that evening. I was surprised because I figured every main retailer would have people waiting at least a day to be first in line.

I called my wife and told her I was in line at Target. She asked what I was going to get. I told her quizically that I didn’t know. I knew they had some TV deals. I got an ad from the people in front of me so I was able to figure out what I wanted.

I have some ancient TVs. You know, the ones that have the huge bubble on the back of them that make them look pregnant. I only replace them when they go bad and I knew any day now one of them was going to go bad. Those things use lots of power too. I think the new ones use like three teaspoons of electricity a year.

Target had some great deals on TVs. A 50″ was on sale for $349. A 32″ was on sale for $147. I was allowed only one TV. They passed out tickets to people to get the one they wanted. I opted for the 50″. Sure enough, I got a ticket for it. In celebration I did the moonwalk to person number 38 in line.

At 9:00 they started to let us in. I was bummed that they guy cut off the line off the first 30 with two people in front of me. I’m a fast walker so I knew I could get to where I wanted in no time. I might not look cool doing it, but I didn’t care. I sure hope I didn’t see people I knew. There was no time for chit-chat. I was on a mission. I made sure I didn’t make eye contact with anyone I knew. If I did it was a walking hi and how are you.

The people in front of me said that it’s best to get the TV first even though I planned to get some other items. They said sometimes the TV line can be long if you wait to get it. So I got my TV and got the other items I wanted and then got in line. I was out the door at 9:20. People were still swarming in. I got some whoops and hollers and raising the roofs from the people in line still coming in the store after they saw my big win. I even heard a gal say “Hey, that’s the Coupon Guy!” I think I taught her in Junior Achievement. I best not pick my nose or have spinach in my teeth should I get recognized in public now.

Off to home I went. I was feeling good and slanted my body across the center console like a gangsta as I drove home. Then I thought to myself. I wonder if I could get the 32″ TV. It was such a great deal. Back to Target I went.

I got in line and they said people without a ticket had to wait in another line. At 10 PM if the people with tickets don’t show up then the rest of the TVs would be handed out. I anxiously waited. Good thing I didn’t have to go to the little Cowboys room.

At 10 PM there was a long line behind me. They started passing out the TVs. Mostly 50″ models. But many of the model I wanted. My heart was racing. Some older lady got a 50″ TV and she was dragging it across the floor. I could manage a TV if I got one without a cart so I gave her mine. It was my turn and I thought I saw the one I wanted. I asked for it and they had it! I snagged another great TV deal! I think I saw maybe one more left of the model I wanted. Whew! And here I thought I had to live in a tent for a few days to get these kind of deals.

Most of the people wanted and Xbox or other video game deals. I don’t play video games so I didn’t get them. When I was a kid though I was a regular at Game Trek, a video game parlour at Shoregate. Now the only video games I play is trying to figure out why my remote isn’t working. I press all the buttons on it like as if that thing will unlock the TV secrets of the world to finally get to the channel I’m looking for. And my how these video games have changed from the time I played on my lame Atari.

I had a $10 off coupon from Target and on my purchase I got 5% off for have a Target Red Card credit card. The 5% comes off automatically. Some great deals on those TVs.

I got some other deals on Black Friday itself. Most of the places had what I wanted. Some stuff I tried to get online was sold out quickly. In all a successful shopping weekend. I may still need to buy some Wham-o weight loss device to work off all the food I ate. Happy Cyber Monday everyone!

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT AUCTION
Help out Junior Achievement by bidding on all kinds of items for their annual auction! You can also bid on a class or shopping session with me! Let me show you how to save tons with some one-on-one help. We can go to stores where I can show you how to save 70% and more consistently. Bidding starts out at $50. You can also set up a class at an agreed upon location (please don’t ask me to come to Pluto or some other far-away planet – greater Cleveland area is good).

Junior Achievement teaches kids business and life skills that many schools don’t teach. Workers from various companies volunteer their time to teach kids. I’ve been teaching at a variety of schools across the Cleveland area for many years. Typically I teach the Personal Economics or Personal Finance class to 7th graders. It really makes a difference for the kids. I’ve received thank you letters from the kids that are heartfelt. Sometimes you think you have very little impact on the students, but when I read the messages I saw how spending a handful of sessions can really make an impact. Think about volunteering your time with them. Sometimes it’s challenging, but very rewarding.

You can bid on plenty of other items and not just on the class/session I’m offering. JA appreciates it! Good luck!

BLACK FRIDAY
There are a ton of deals on Black Friday and now what I call Gray Thursday since many stores are offering deals on Thanksgiving now. To find the ads and breakdown of deals try these sites:

To find the deals the day after Thanksgiving, called Black Friday, go to: http://www.iblackfriday.com, http://www.offers.com, http://www.blackfridayads.com/, http://www.blackfriday.info/, http://www.blackfriday.info/sales/, http://www.theblackfriday.com, http://www.dealtaker.com/blackfriday.html, http://www.bargainist.com, http://www.bfads.net, http://www.blackfriday2012.com, http://www.ultimatecoupons.com/coupons/black_friday_coupons.htm, http://www.retailmenot.com/blackfriday/, or http://www.blackfriday.gottadeal.com/.

Plot your route from store to store to decrease wasted time which will improve your chances to find the items you want in stock. Most stores have a very minimal stock of their best deals, sometimes as little as 2 items in stock per store. Try to find the minimally stocked items online on their web-site. Be sure to bring the sales ads in case a store will price match another one that day.

PLAIN DEALER
The company that owns the Plain Dealer has changed some of the newspapers they owned to electronic editions – no paper newspapers. The fear is that the PD will also be relegated to electronic versions, whether just certain days or the whole week. I love reading a paper newspaper. It’s not the same as seeing it on a computer or iPad. I wouldn’t pay for an electronic version of the paper. I don’t even have a smart phone. The data plan alone costs a ton more than a newspaper subscription. Computers always seem to slow up and hiccup here and there making reading numerous articles a hassle. I can read my paper anywhere and I mean anywhere. So please help keep the PD in paper form and available daily by signing this petition:

10) Bathroom hand dryers that almost blow the skin off my hands.
9) Productive coughs and sneezes.
8) Rope.
7) Neighborhood gas stations that always have the cheapest gas when I need to fill up.
6) Not getting that mysterious watery liquid before you get the actual substance you want that comes out of squeeze containers like ketchup.
5) Waiters and waitresses that can read your mind.
4) Double coupons and no expiration date coupons.
3) Polite fruit flies.
2) The Louisiana Purchase.
1) My Facebook fans and other fans, yes, I know…awwww.

TRAVEL DEALS/DENVER VACATION
Back a few months ago Southwest ran a half off deal on all their flights to celebrate their 30 millionth Facebook fan. I found some great roundtrip deals. We booked a flight to Denver for $160 roundtrip. Plus I got a $150 voucher from Southwest because they screwed up their billing! I got charged around 60 times for the same flight.

We stayed in Denver, Breckenridge, Aspen and Vail. I’ve been to Denver, but never to the ski towns.

We found it was a great time for deals as it was the off-season before all the ski resorts opened up. The rooms cost less than $90 per night. I could find cheaper rooms, but we wanted to stay in hotels rated 4 or higher on Tripadvisor and also rated highly in Hotels.com. The hotel we stayed at in Vail, Cascade Resorts, was even rated 4 diamond by AAA. I got that room for $89 on Groupon.
I trolled around for deals on Groupon, Living Social, and Hotels.com for hotels. I found a deal on Marriott’s site for one of the stays. Pre-paids are the way to go if you know for sure you will be on your vacation as they have great rates. I usually wait until the last minute to get them though just to be safe.

Total cost of the 7 day trip for car rental, two flights, and hotels was around $900.

I rushed through my travel checklist and forgot to bring tennis shoes. Or is it sneakers. I’ve never played tennis so maybe I should call them sneakers. I don’t like shopping there, but we stopped at Wal-Mart since that was the only discount store we could find. I found sneakers for $10! They were as light as a pencil, but they would do.

Our first stop was in Breckenridge. Nice little town with a local flair to the restaurants and shops. It was Halloween and we stopped at a place for burritos that were on special – $6 total for a burrito and margarita. We were enjoying our meal when 4 Presidents (Nixon, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton) burst in with guns drawn telling everyone to get down ala the movie that had them burst into a bank. Can’t remember the name of that movie. Then a guy with a mullet and vest with a bare fat belly hanging out bust out ‘Careless Whisper’ by George Michael on his saxophone. We paid nothing for that entertainment.

I found most all the towns we went to didn’t have handicap ramps. You had to walk up or down steps to get to them. I’m sure there a plenty of people that get broken legs skiing so I’m surprised the walkways weren’t made to accommodate wheelchairs.

I perused for coupons through the free local magazines, newspapers, or travel guides that you can find in newspaper boxes or at bars and restaurants or at the hotel. One of the magazines even had a listing of the happy hour deals.

Another great place to find food and drink deals is at happy hour sites like http://www.gotime.com. The deals are ranked so you can find what is popular in town.

Because it was off-season, many restaurants were doing 2 for 1 deal, sometimes without a coupon. I got some Restaurant.com coupons to just in case I wasn’t able to find any deals while I was in town. On the site they sell $25 restaurant gift certificates for $10, but at times they offer codes that mark them down 40% – 70% off (used to be 80% off during the month, but not anymore). Not many were available for the ski towns though. Tons in Denver though.

I did use some Restaurant.com gift certificates. I also was able to use it along with getting a discount through http://www.idine.com. They offer 5% to 20% off my entire bill, including tax, tip, alcohol, and meal in the form of a gift card once I earn $25 or more. All you have to do is sign up and tie in your credit cards with them. It works automatically. Easy.

We hiked into one of the mountains. On our way back to the hotel we spotted a fox. It was rummaging for food. It was definitely used to people as it came up to us just a few feet away. It looked soft and I wanted to pet it. I was advised not to even though I kept having the urge to pet it.

I wanted to ski, but most ski resorts weren’t opening for another week or two. Copper Mountain opened up with two trails open, so I was able to work in some skiing. The Entertainment book had some BOGO ski deals for Denver, but it was for a full day pass and I didn’t have time to ski all day. The problem with skiing before all the regular snow hits is that the man-made snow is more granular. With the sun hitting it and then melting and freezing it I found the skiing to be dangerous as the slopes were icy and as my sore butt can attest to. I think if anyone was filming me I would have been on a YouTube video.

Next up was Aspen. Driving there we saw how much of a drought the area was going through. Many lakes were very low with huge shorelines.

Aspen was a compact town with many high-end retailers like Gucci, Prada, and Ralph Lauren. Museums I would call them. Just look and don’t purchase, maybe sneak in a touch. I did make a beeline for any clearance sections. Any I would find I would chuckle after looking at the price, even after a discount.

We were told to watch out for bears as they would come into town for food. I was pumped. I wanted to see a bear in the wild. Apparently they didn’t have much food because of the drought and came down to the city with the warm weather. One person said one day there were a dozen on the park one day. We hiked the Rio Grande trail for miles, but no bears. I’d probably want to pet them too if I saw them. Maybe it was a good thing I didn’t see one.

Many businesses were on hiatus just before the ski season. One location that was shutting down for two weeks was offering 2 for 1 dinner deals. Another had $3 Colorado beer drafts. Happy hours were usually 3 to 6. Found some in Denver with glasses of wine for $2 to $3. I signed up for Denver’s Living Social deals and Groupons too to see if they had any entertainment or restaurant deals.

After Aspen was Vail. It has a European vibe to it. Next to it is Lionshead which is just like the town of Vail. Beautiful towns with a river running through or by them. Again lots of BOGO deals. We snagged some happy hour deals there too.

We overhead a shop owner saying how high the rent was there and he thinks that many businesses will close. They said partly because they got little business from this past winter which produced a lot less snow than usual. The year before they had over 340 inches of snow. This past year they had around 140. The shuttle driver said it was because of back to back El Ninas. Perhaps they didn’t pay Mother Nature for the snow bill.

Our next stop was in Georgetown. They were known for Bighorn Sheep. Even in these small towns I was able to find tourist magazines with coupons. Came across a winery tasting for Canyon Wind winery. They sold the first $100 Colorado wine. It was really good along with their Petit Verdot. There the gal that worked there was from Ohio. So was the person at our car rental. Everywhere we went it seemed that someone had ties back to Ohio in one way or another.

We stopped at an old mine town, Idaho Springs was a cool old town full of restaurants and shops.

I stopped at some grocery stores to check out pricing. We like to get some 2 liters of pop, some wine, and some cheese before we get started on the trip. It was pricey.

I always made a point of checking out all the stores to find the best deals on souvenirs before I get one. Most stores have the same price, but not always. Lots of half off deals for clothes. Sometimes the racks of clothes that they put outside gets faded, especially where the part that is on clothes hanger. Reminds me of some of the clothes I’ve seen at Gabriel Brothers.

I had a scare when I was filling up at the gas station. I was getting ready to fill up when my wife started yelling. A car was pulling up on the other side to fill up and he was going to hit my car. I went over and told him to stop. I’m telling you I don’t think he could’ve gotten any closer to hitting me. There was about enough room to maybe fit a mosquito’s wing between my car and his rental truck. I backed up my car to get out of the way as his was at an angle. That could’ve been real ugly. Whew!

We used http://www.Autoslash.com for our car rental. They will rebook your rental every time the rate goes lower. I started at $250 and it went down to $101 for a standard car for a 7 day rental with Dollar Rent a Car. I also had a back-up rental I got through yahootravel.com. Dollar had some annoying rules. The paperwork said I had to produce a receipt that showed I gassed up at a station with 10 miles of them. Good thing I had a GPS to make sure I did. I think that’s in all the small print, but this is the first time the person at the counter told me about it. Of course, when I dropped off the car the attendant never asked for the receipt. I think they just look to see if the gauge is at the F line or higher.

I made sure I checked http://www.gasbuddy.com before I filled up. Good thing I did. I filled up at $3.63 in Frisco just outside of Breckenridge. Otherwise, in Aspen the gas jumped to $4.15. I filled up the night before going to the airport at $3.23 a gallon. Most of the gas stations along the way were 20 to 40 cents higher.

One thing that I had to get used to was at the higher elevations there is a lack of oxygen. Just going up steps made you feel like you were going to pass out. They even have oxygen bars. And happy hours are even happier with the thin air.

Denver airport was one of the worst airports I’ve been to. The car rental lots were miles from the airport. When we got dropped off the shuttle driver dropped us off at the wrong end of the drop-off. Instead of walking across to the ticket counters you have to go up all kinds of escalators. After getting patted down by the TSA we had to take a shuttle to our gate. If you’re running late the poorly set up system is sure to make you late. Cleveland and most other airports are easy where you get off the plane and straight to the car rental agencies either by foot or short shuttle drive. Denver is a new airport so I’m surprised they didn’t make it more customer-friendly.

One odd thing about out trips is that there always seems to be some kind of natural disaster that strikes around the time we travel. This time it was hurricane Sandy. We were worried our flight would get cancelled, but luckily it wasn’t. Denver got hit with lots of snow after we left too. When we were there the temps were in the 70’s.

Then I read that a Southwest plane skidded off the runway in Denver this past week. I wonder if they would’ve given us another voucher if that was our plane.

CLOSING
Hostess – they went bankrupt a couple times and as recently in January even though the year prior nearly a dozen of their executives received raises up to 80%. They wanted to cut workers wages by around 30% (and a 17% health benefit cut) putting them in near-poverty wages. So no surprise that workers went on strike and that the company decided to shut down. I expect there will be plenty of companies that will purchase parts, if not all, of the business. Besides Ding Dongs and Twinkies, Hostess also made Home Pride, Beefsteak, and Nature’s Pride bread. Twinkies and Ho Hos and all are on sale for BOGO at Giant Eagle while they last!

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT AUCTION
Help out Junior Achievement by bidding on all kinds of items for their annual auction! You can also bid on a class or shopping session with me! Let me show you how to save tons with some one-on-one help. We can go to stores where I can show you how to save 70% and more consistently. Bidding starts out at $50. You can also set up a class at an agreed upon location (please don’t ask me to come to Pluto or some other far-away planet – greater Cleveland area is good).

Junior Achievement teaches kids business and life skills that many schools don’t teach. Workers from various companies volunteer their time to teach kids. I’ve been teaching at a variety of schools across the Cleveland area for many years. Typically I teach the Personal Economics or Personal Finance class to 7th graders. It really makes a difference for the kids. I’ve received thank you letters from the kids that are heartfelt. Sometimes you think you have very little impact on the students, but when I read the messages I saw how spending a few sessions with them can change their life. Think about volunteering your time with them. Sometimes it’s challenging, but someone needs to reach these kids.

You can bid on plenty of other items and not just on the class/session I’m offering. JA appreciates it! Good luck!
