This Seems Overblown

I panned an article by MBH in my last post, but the hype around so-called “Cyber Monday” seems to make his point. I am a big fan of ebates, but a countdown to Cyber Monday seems a little forced. Ebates is not the only online store that is making a big deal over Cyber Monday, but they [...]

My wife and I just recieved “big fat checks” from Ebates. Mine was $34.40, my wife’s was $8.25. Not a huge amount, but it will just about cover a date night, including babysitting and meal. All from purchasing items that we needed, from stores we like, at discount prices – through Ebates. I have another [...]

Free Shredder with Purchase

It is important to have a paper shredder around the house these days.

I would recommend a heavier-duty shredder if you can afford it, but until then, this [...]

The best thing about them is that they can be targeted to specific keywords. I use Adsense, but sometimes the ads can be a little embarrassing. The Google ads on [...]

I have never used it, but found an artice in the July 2007 issue of Money Magazine that reviewed this option. The Bill Me Later feature allows you [...]
