So I’m looking out for a good mattress sale and of course I’m only looking online since I have no intention of running all over town to all of the various bed and mattress stores that our town has to offer. A customer of mine suggested trying out coasttocoastmattress.com to see if they had any full sized mattress sale offerings, which I promptly did and was glad to see that they do have some good promotions going on right now, along with Free Delivery, which is a big money saver that I look for.

Something else that I liked about this site is that that have a Mattress Advisor tool for us to put in our preferences then they will in turn generate suggestions for your individual needs and wants.  A nice touch I have to admit.

So it looks like we’re not only looking at advances in grocery shopping but also in cell phones.  At the check out, once you scan the payment bar code, you can pay by cash, credit card, debit card or fingerprint (after you have signed up for fingerprint shopping).  And the politicians wonder why we are falling behind the rest of the world where technology is concerned.

I have never enjoyed going out shopping, I just don’t like crowds and the holidays always warrant crowds in every store in town. One of my favorite sites is now nomorerack.com so I wanted to make sure that my friends, family and all my other readers here on my blog know about it. They really have a great selection of products at wonderful prices to offer. The one thing that you need to know is that these are daily deals, you can go back the next day and find all new deals to check out, which I really enjoy, variety is the spice of life as they say. You never know what you will find unless you check in with them frequently. I’ve made it a habit to check this nomorerack site each afternoon before I even check my emails which works well for me.

This afternoon I found a great pair of Snow Bunny Winter Boots that I have been looking for to give my daughter for her birthday, which falls on Valentines day, only a month away, sigh…. These boots normally sell for over $35 every where else that I have found. At nomorerack.com I got them for only $15, that is way more to my liking, a 63% savings in nothing to ignore, you know what I’m saying here folks?

I found this unique and very user friendly site on Facebook. My sister actually uses it as well, but did she turn me onto it? Nope, had to find it myself while on Facebook LOL. I won’t hold it against here though, the holidays are always a crazy time for all of us, but we seem to always find the time to check Facebook at least once a day right?

One of the greatest things that happened when my husband and I recently moved into our new house is that we switched our television providers. Up until then we’d been cable television subscribers, because that’s what both of our parents had always used. We were looking around at our options for television in the new house and we discovered directstartv.com. We gave them a call, the installation was free, and we are now enjoying tons of television stations, as well as music stations and movie stations. It’s pretty great. We’ve been spending date nights in and ordering movies, and we love to curl up on the couch and watch our shows on DVR. There’s nothing better than getting home after work and knowing you have plenty of time to relax on the couch and watch television. With our DVR, we’re able to record movies from the movie channels too and enjoy a completely free date night. We love it so far, and with the money we’re saving on our monthly subscription plus the money we’ve saved on date nights, we’re planning a pretty phenomenal trip. We’re pretty excited.

I don’t like using my debit card for online purchases, so purchasing a Green Dot card is beneficial all the way around. I have bad experiences with several transactions that my debit card was involved with, which of course is connected to my bank account which then caused havoc there as well. What a mess, so I’ve gotten into the habit of using Prepaid Cards and I think this is the perfect opportunity for my daughter to utilize a Green Dot card as well for this particular experience.

I’m currently in 2 disputes with PayPal right now due to two separate purchases gone bad. After all the return shipping fees involved it has left a real bad taste in my mouth right now. Been kicking myself in the butt for not going with my gut and using one of the numerous Prepaid Cards that are available everywhere you turn these days.

There is a good chance that a few more folks may throw her a few bucks in the next couple of weeks. So many relatives float in and out of here that we know we will not be seeing on Christmas day that they tend to just give her cash when they see her in the up and coming weeks. She likes it that way. Instead of getting a bunch of junky gifts that she really doesn’t want or need or even like, she gets to save up for something that she really, really wants and normally we would not be able to afford between to two of us. Even though tips are usually up at the bar during the holiday season you can’t rely on that these days.

I didn’t brave the Black Friday shopping frenzy, that isn’t something that I’m into at all. Just thinking about the whole horrible process involved in that event makes my stomach uneasy and gives me a head ache.

This year, now that I know how much I have to play with, most of my shopping will be done online. This is something that a good amount of people are doing and I intend to be one of the statistics for this year. No crowds, no parking issues, no rude sale associates, no lines, no freezing my buns off outside and sweating to death inside all the stores and no holiday music being drummed into my head that is being played in every store in the country.

Of course there are numerous products on the market that have been proven to help with hair loss that were discussed as well. Your doctor should be able to discuss these options and of course the Internet is a great resource to use in order to find information on these products.

For Christmas she wants to give all of her charges a Christmas present but doesn’t have a whole lot of money to spend since there are so many of them, so she has decided to look into purchasing a boat load of cute but appropriate nursing pins that she has found online at Pinmart.com. I decided to check them out and I have to say that they really do have a great variety of these pins that can be placed on their uniforms to display for the whole world to see and enjoy. And they certainly are affordable and I think that everyone will enjoy receiving one for Christmas.

These two are my favorites, cute right?

I was surprised to find so many different types and brands and prices that I found, making a decision is becoming a pain in the rear. Some times having a larger selection to choose from overwhelms me and I find that I can’t make a decision and it pisses me off.  So I’ve decided to book mark the sites and go back to it at a later date, just not too much later. Winter is rearing it’s ugly head all ready and the good times are waiting right out side my door, there are pirating adventures just ahead!
