Personalized USB Thumb Drives

With Christmas just around the corner, it might be hard to think of what to give. If anyone reading this knows me, I would love a new thumb drive. I had one that a co-worker had broke on accident. It would work every so often, but just this year, it finally quit working.

Personalized Flash Drives are durable, Hi-Speed USB drives. You can choose from 14 colors and even add free custom laser engraving, along with security software. That sounds like a great deal! And, these little drives are affordable as well.

The free personalization lets you choose from 32 themes to have engraved on the front and add your own text on the back.

I think I might order a few and throw some pictures of my two sons on them and send them to family members. Then they could throw any other pictures that I send of them on it.

PAYjr: Online Allowance and Chore Program

PAYjr

PAYjr is a program for families who want to make assigning chores and giving allowances easier. PAYjr is known for the Visa Buxx card for teens and has recently launched a partnership with Target allowing parents to give kids a Target Gift Card that is reloadable. Allowances can be deposited electronically to the card.

PAYjr Chore & Allowance is a great program for parents to help teach the little ones how to be responsible with money.  It allows parents to assign chores, print chore charts and set reminders. The great thing is that PAYjr is free to join!

Get your kids to want to help around the house and be rewarded with a Target Gift Card. PAYjr looks like a fun way to get the kids involved and learning about how to manage money.

Saving Money With Deal Locker

Whenever I purchase something online, before checking out, I always search the Internet for some coupons. Sometimes I find one, sometimes I don’t. The part I hate about saving is searching for the coupon itself. Deal Locker makes this process easier.

Deal Locker

Deal Locker is a place for friends to help other friends save money with coupons and promo codes. It’s very easy to find a coupon or promo code that you might be looking for. After clicking on a store, it displays the available coupons and/or promo codes. By default, it only shows you ones that work. If you want to see all of them, click the tab that says All Coupons.

In my search for free cheap laptops, finding coupons first can be very helpful in selecting what store to buy one from. One place that I’m considering of purchasing from in the future is Dell. Dell usually has great prices. Deal Locker also lets me select the laptop category and see what stores are offering laptop coupons.

Gift cards and coupons that are for sale on eBay are also listed on Deal Locker. I don’t think I’ve been to any other coupon site that does this! This is a very nice feature, one that I might keep in mind for my future shopping.

Also, read the shopping tips and coupon blog for more. This includes tips for back to school shopping!

Free Web-Phone Service

I just heard on FOX News about this. I stayed up until 11:00 PM EST just to hear about it, only to miss it! So, I searched for it and found it on their website.

A company in Silicon Valley, Ooma Inc. wants to provide customers with free, unlimited domestic phone calls. This would require a broadband Internet service. The catch is that you would have to buy a gizmo for $399! That might sound expensive, but considering how much it costs per year to pay for phone service, it has to be worth it, right?

They will also give you a second line for free with voice mail and conference calling.

Ooma Inc. began selling the gizmos last month with an invitation-only offer to U.S. residents.

It’s Just a Naked Vacuum

With the iRobot competition that just ended at PayPerPost’s blog, this is perfect. I just found a company called myRoomBud. It is a company started, built and run by kids. Why do kids get all the fun?

myRoomBud sells costumes for your iRobot Roomba and Scooba. I wish I had one because these costumes are really cute! The costumes are hand made by these kids.

The covers are made of soft thin alova suede. A bit furry but a perfect cover. All covers are hand made by us.

Their goal is to provide costumes for every Roomba and Scooba – “No more naked Roombas.”
