Thrifty and Genius.

One of my classmates in my digital scrapbook class tipped me off to this brilliant site:

www.retailmenot.com

Basically, you search for whatever store or item you are looking for, and it will come up with a list of sales and promo codes that might apply to what you are looking for. For example, she had looked up Shutterfly and found a promo code for free shipping for orders over $30.

Now, usually I'm not a coupon shopper, because I tend to end up purchasing things that are good deals but never would have been on my list to begin with. But this changes everything! Here, I type in what I'm looking for or the online purchase I am about to make and it looks for the deal.

Cha. Ching.

A new word!

My friend and coworker, Casey, has a blog for non-profit marketing. Today she posted on a new phenomenon called Slactivism. Check it out... it's pretty great stuff.

A facebook funny...

My 92-year-old Grandma is on Facebook. I made her an account when I was with her in Arizona after showing her pictures of my cousins in New Zealand. She's really computer savvy, and has been able to keep up to date with all of her grandkids ever since.

I just got an email from her, sent to her entire family, where she wrote, "I spent the whole morning looking at pictures on Facelift--hadn't ever found them before, my, that was fun."

Calling Facebook, Facelift made me laugh out loud.

If you're reading...Grandma, I think your computer skills are amazing and I think your new name for facebook is perhaps more accurate than you know!
