GetGlue Sticker Guide!

As a media freak I love using GetGlue.
I recently went on a sticker spree wanting to reach the 20 mark to get stickers mailed to me (only 4 more to go!), and to anyone wanting to expand their sticker collection here are some cheats!

Make sure to get the basics first!
You can unlock the Couch Potato sticker just by liking a ton of t.v shows, same for Music and Movies to unlock the Radiohead and Movie Buff stickers!

By seeing movies opening week and checking into them you can unlock the Opening Week sticker, this was recently unlocked by me from The Avengers which in turn unlocked two exclusive Marvel stickers.

Up until July you can unlock an The Amazing Spider-Man sticker by watching the trailer on GetGlue or participating in the discussion board.

I also recently unlocked a Triathlon sticker which can be unlocked by checking into 3 different activities in one day.

I also love the Beavis and Butt-head sticker you get after the first time checking into it. I just recently bought Volume 2 and it has been consuming my life, heh. heh. heh.

Amazon Item of the Week

Okay, so I know I've never done an "Amazon Item of the Week" post before, but lets just call this the FIRST Annual (can it be classified as an Annual event already?) Amazon Item with many more to come.

I was recently informed by one of my friends about the Amazon Prime student deal. By simply registering  your Amazon account with a student email (.edu) you can receive 6 FREE MONTHS of Amazon Prime which entails FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING with the purchase of new items.

In celebration of my new Prime membership I ordered a new FM Ipod Transmitter for my car.
The ATC Transmitter itself costs $12.55 (and you can't forget the free 2 day shipping), and I am getting better sound quality than I received with my bulky Belkin Ipod stand/Adaptor which also came with a much higher price.
This is definitely an item I would recommend to anyone whose car does not have an auxiliary plug and is in need of an FM transmitter.

So if you're a student or were recently a student and still have access to your school email, sign up today! I couldn't think of a better way to beat the Monday blues.

iTunes Single of the Week

Be sure to check out the free iTunes singles featured this week! Get tracks from Deep Sea Arcade and the new single from Miike Snow.
(Be sure to check out the free TV show selections too for free episode of the new Napoleon Dynamite animated series. I haven't watched it yet so don't judge me if it's terrible!)

Amazon is one of my favorite websites, and useful for finding great deals on both used and new items. One item I have found on Amazon that no other site or store can compete with is; Phone cases.
The pages for almost all types of phone cases (Samsung, various Droid models) etc, are all lengthy. There were over 25 pages of 1 cent cases for Iphones.
Just be sure to view the cases from 'Price: Low to High' each model has plenty of 1 cent priced cases that add up to around 3 dollars with shipping.

Article of the Week

I've been even more excited for this coming weekend than normal. During the week all of my attention is turned to my heavy class load, as well as working Monday - Thursday. So each weekend holds the promise of time to relax and unwind.
While trying to expand my rather small beverage knowledge/experience I stumbled across this lovely article with several different ideas and instructions for several different drink combinations that won't leave your wallet thirsty. 



I also discovered the helpful site http://www.drinksmixer.com/ which shows you different drink options you can make based on the Ingredient(s) you pick. 
Cheers to the weekend, my friends!

(Relatively) Free Music Friday

For a limited time Californian indie-pop group Hellogoodbye are selling their latest album online in a "name your price" fashion.

You can download Would It Kill You? from the starting price of 1$ (and there is even a skittles option that was just added).

So do yourself a favor and download the perfect soundtrack for these upcoming sunny and Spring days.

Urban Outfitters is one of those stores I check out often, but I almost never purchase items there unless they are greatly marked down.
But today I was unstoppable and did some major damage to ole Urban.
You might want to go check out their sale section the next few days cause it seems they are doing some spring cleaning!

Peter Jensen sweater Originally priced at $88, marked down to $50, then again to $20 (I just had to give these little guys a good home!)
O'Hanlon Mills Fair Isle Moccasin; originally priced at $30 (and still priced that online) but marked down to $9.99 in store. 
Solid BDG Crew-Nick priced at $14 and marked downt o $4.99. 
Stapleford flannel priced at $59 marked down to $30 and then again to $9.99. 


And finally the biggest steal of the day. These Bed Stu Suede boots were originally priced at $128, marked down to $60 and purchased at the markdown price of $29.99. (The store also carried Brown). 

Added up my savings were over $200 dollars, which is way more money than I even spent. And I think it's safe to say when the amount you end up saving, is MORE than the amount you spent, you just found a good deal.

Deals are 'Poppin'!

I want to formally welcome Pringles brand chips into the Dollar Tree family. While these cans are a slightly smaller size than what you would find at Wal-Mart (scary) 2 of these $1 -  4.93 oz cans equal a much better deal than 1- 5.75 oz can which is priced around $1.58 at most Wal-Mart locations.

                                         -------------------------------------------------
On a side not don't forget to shop early for any of your Valentine's day needs at your local Dollar Store! While it's hard to even imagine that February is around the corner, you don't want to get caught "heartless" and empty handed! Many stores have already set up displays for the lovely holiday!

For A Limited Time!

Stop by your local Dollar Tree for the 2/$1 deal on any of the Snapple drinks!

Free Flix

Unfortunately Netflix is not free, but some of us are lucky enough to have that roommate who can't live without it. 
Regardless; these are some hidden treasures currently featured on Netflix that I advise you to check out.

1. Paper Man (Yes, the classic Emma Stone before many, such as myself, had ever heard of her, but still just as beautiful, graceful, charming, cute, delightful, cunning, angelic, well you know; just perfect)
2. Dazed and Confused (Matthew Mcconaughey like you have never seen him before... actually pretty cool)
3. Heathers ("Dear diary, my teen-angst bullshit has a body count..")
4. Short Circuit (The scene where Stephanie and the robot dance may be one of the most beautiful pieces of cinematography ever created)

Scanning the free Craigslist sections is always interesting. To anyone in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I think this is a good enough deal to at least check out. : )


Stay classy my friends.

Saving money these days seems to have become a new golden rule. But do not be fooled my friends, saving money does not necessarily mean not spending it. I am a cheap, all my friends know it, and I take pride in what has become my reputation. 

While the existance of Thrift/Dollar stores may be one of life’s mose evident beauties, there are several rules to keep in mind while raiding your deal destination of choice.
  1. Be aware of the “too good to be true” idiom. (While this does not apply to everything, it is important to make sure your purchases do not go to waste! While it may be hard to believe, some items can be found at a better value in bigger retail stores)
  2. Keep an open mind. Deals are deals! (It seems the variety of brands and items many Dollar Stores are sporting are growing, remember GENERIC BRANDS ARE NOT YOUR ENEMY)
  3. Get creative. 
  4. Lastly, CHECK OFTEN! There is a number of us who will always remember the Dollar Tree Movie Storm of 2011. I made it out with Adam Sandler's Punch Drunk Love (which I have yet to watch!) Many Dollar Stores get shipments of items that other stores have ordered too much of, this is great when shopping for seasonal items such as Christmas, Halloween, Fourth of July etc. 

So keep your eyes open friends and your hearts full. Deals are all around us, we just need to learn to believe in the value of each individual dollar.
