About a week ago I did a silly posting on our geographically challenged friends at the Ultra Rebate Center. I received a rebate check at my address in Houston, Texas, USA that was made out in Canadian dollars and clearly denoted in the last line of the address “CANADA”. Well, I’m happy to report that [...]

A couple of new CVS coupons have been posted over at SlickDeals I thought I would share. There is now a $5 off of $30 purchase and a $10 off of $50 purchase. Some have reported being able to stack both of these coupons along with the $4 off $20 coupon on the same order, [...]

Trent over at The Simple Dollar had a post recently about the economics of speeding, in which he details how a recent speeding ticket messed up his day and makes the argument that speeding doesn’t save enough time to justify the costs when you do get caught. Interesting post, but here is my take on [...]

I posted previously about a sweetheart deal where the City of Houston was leasing 6 acres of prime real estate valued at $26 million to a non-profit for a whopping $1 per year. Mayor Bill White and city officials began reviewing some of these leases and had decided that this particular lease was no longer [...]

I posted a little while back about my brother-in-law’s adventures with Northwest Airlines trying to get from Houston to Gatlinburg Tennessee. In summary, he missed his original flight due to unusual traffic backups, a fender-bender in the airport parking garage, a change in gate to a different terminal, and a broken metal detector (none of [...]

I had posted before about the stacks of gift cards I have, and that I had two Blockbuster gift cards that I was having particular trouble finding a good use for. I use the online service, however you can’t use gift cards online – they are only good in the store. Well, I finally found [...]
