Coke Rewards is offering 10 bonus points this week, just for signing in if you’ve entered a code within the past week. I signed up only a month ago – this was another one of those dumbo moves I should have made years ago. You just enter the code printed on the inside of the refrigerator boxes of pop (other products have codes in other places, like under the cap, for example). I’m entering all the CVS packs in hopes that they’ll offer some freebies before Super Bowl.
Just like swagbucks, it’s money for nothing...and the chicks for free…
Just so you know, when I say I bought something…I’m not lying! Here’s two boxes that came UPS today: The two pairs of clogs from Sears (and boy did they feel nice when I tried them on!) and the Lock & Lock containers. Time to toss those nasty old chinese takeout containers and start the new year off right!
Let’s all wish for high value coupons with long expiration dates, store managers thrilled to take special orders, warehouses making double deliveries just to maintain stock and…oh yeah…
Just got an email from a reader who stopped into the Freedom Wireless Cricket cell store in Bolingbrook (on Bolingbrook Drive) and found they were giving away cell phones! She was told that the corporate stores are having a Buy a phone for $10 and get $10 in minutes promotion, but since this store is a franchise, the owner decided to just give away the phones for free. The reader is a current Cricket customer, so she was able to swap her older phone for a much nicer Samsung model at no charge! Note that this was not a smart phone (she doesn’t want one).
So any of you people thinking about getting a phone for your kids from Cricket or maybe have one yourself, it’s something to check out.
Don’t forget to track Santa’s journey around the world on Noradsanta.com. They show the routes, presents delivered and information about how far and how fast he travels. Santa Rocks!
WOW! Grab the kiddies and click on Reindeer.com, where you can watch Santa feed his reindeer LIVE at 10 am and 5 pm (Eastern). The rest of the day is an earlier feed. btw, these reindeer don’t really do a heck of a lot but munch on hay…
Another one of those things I kick myself for not signing up for long ago…the light bulb finally went on while I was on hold at Coca Cola, waiting to complain about how thin the Diet Coke cans are getting. Seriously, I bought nine 12-pks of both Coke Zero and Diet Coke and three cans of Diet smashed and bulged just from tipping over! How should we carry this stuff home – line the trunk with foam?
So now I’m registered and will only obsess about the deals I’ve missed – human nature. Every Wednesday they have a deal where you can buy a product for a fraction of the normal price: Today’s Wednesday Deal was a coupon for a FREE 12-pk of Coke products for only 30 points, versus 240. I say was, because the deal has sold out already.
So many of you have asked how I manage to stave off starvation writing this blog … here’s your answer: I have been involved in money-laundering with folks in Nigeria…I thought that Nigeria was where the gullible were sending their money, but, hey, what do I know?

So maybe I should hold a giveaway for the contents of these two boxes?
Saw this on twitter: Go to Google and type in “let it snow.”
you can also type in “tilt.” Both are pretty cool. I also like the way they decorate the Google logo for special occasions and birthdays of famous folks.
