I love spending money when I can. But even more I love saving money. And to help save quite a bit of money is the service called PriceProtectr.com - This website allows you to enter the item you bought - the date you bought it on and the price you paid and your email address. They will then check to see if the price dropped on the item you purchased. If the item price dropped you can then get a refund from the company. According to their site they have helped save over $1.2 Million dollars.

I purchased a video game on May 6th for $49.99 - I thought I got a pretty good deal but I still put this into price protecter. I purchased from Amazon. Their refund limits is 30 days. So this website knows that and will stop “Protecting You” the moment you no longer need protecting.

Back to my example about 2 weeks go buy and in my email at 6am I get a not from PriceProtectr.com stating that the video game dropped $10.25. The also gave me all the information I needed and where to find the information I needed to call Amazon and get the $10.25 refund. I logged into my Amazon Account to get the order Number - I called the 800 number for Amazon and right away got Jeff. He asked me for the order Number which I was prepared to give. He then asked me why I was calling. I told him there was a price drop on one of the items I ordered. He then looked it up and said I was correct and then said he would issue a credit for the $10.25. I then hung up with Jeff. Total time on call was about 6 mins tops. Getting a refund from Amazon is really easy to do and really is not a hassle.

What really amazed me with Amazon is within minutes I got an email from them stating the call and the reason I called and there will be a refund to my credit card. Great service, great communication. WOW - No this only works if you purchased directly from Amazon and not from one of their merchants.

Now, Back to PriceProtectr.com - They will monitor the price for 114 different stores - They will price watch from Amazon - Apple Store - Best Buy, Circuit City, Costco, Sears, Staples and many many more.

So, to help you save a buck or two I highly recommend using this service to make sure you got the lowest price available to you.

I know from from now on - I will be a faithful user of Price Protector - As they really do what the set out to do - Help you get your money back using the Price Protection Policies of the various stores.

They will even tell you some of the best deals of the day as well - Check it out.

Strong Glue: Gorilla Glue

June 1st, 2008

I love this Gorilla Glue - This stuff is amazing to use - Now I would not use this for everything. But this stuff will bond and repair things even super glue would not.

I had a couple of wooden chairs that kept falling apart. Well, to the help - Gorilla Glue. What I did was wet down the area I was going to apply the glue to and then put the glue on the other surface and put them together. This glue will bubble up and fill in the gaps. Make sure you clean any of the run off - I used a paper towel. Watch - do not get any on your hards.

This stuff does take some time to cure (Dry).. I had to let mine sit for about 24 hours. But the chair was fixed and solid now. I have also used this to fix some plasics that I dropped and broke. This stuff did the trick.

To those of you that like to buy things at those club stores. This is a helpful hint for when you buy bread and only need only one loaf.
Take your bread, in the plastic bag that it is in and then wrap it up in a piece of newspaper. The reason that you use the newspaper is that it will absorbe the moisture from your freezer.
It is moisture that you don’t need on your bread. After you get finished with the first loaf, you now can get the use out of your second loaf.
Also if you would like to have your bread taste as if it just came out of the oven. Take a small glass with water in it and place it in the micro-wave oven with the slices of bread you want to use,
Turn on the timer for at least thirty seconds for two slices of bread and it will make it hot and soft as if it just came from the bakery.

The Help Meister - saving bread one loaf at a time

This is so funny - It would be great to try this and I am young. But I don’t think I would have the nerve to do this. This is to celebrate Wacky Wednesday. (hmm Maybe I should make that a feature!!) Any Suggestions?

You just have to watch this one to see what the two old geezers are up to.

The Anti Boredom Campaign Seems like fun.
