Shortcut to Fabulous Ways to Save Money this Weekend and Beyond
March 5, 2010 by ShortcutsEditor
We thought we would bring you some ways to save money this weekend and beyond, so here are the deals and steals we rounded up:
- Today on Rue La La at 11 am, they are having a sample sale on Seven for All Man Kind Jeans for both men and women. Click here to become a member of Rue La La and score a pair of discount premium jeans.
- Today on Woot, they are selling a TOM, TOM GPS system with live support for $129.99. Click here to get the deal.
- Today’s daily deal on Amazon is a Toshiba Recordable DVD Player for $89.99. You can record your favorite shows or movies on tv to a DVD with this cool gadget! Click here

- Have you signed up for Groupon yet? Groupon is a website that sells discount certificates to all kinds of fun stuff from local restaurants, bakeries and organic grocers to theater tickets, gym memberships dances classes and so much more. A specified number of people have to buy into the deal for everyone to get it…think collective bargaining! You can sign up for daily emails and receive updates when new Groupon deals are available for your city. Click here to sign up and get some great deals.
- P.F. Changs is probably my favorite chain restaurant. I love the Garlic Noodles with Chicken, Wonton Soup and newly discovered Hot Fish. I get 10% knocked off my bill every time I go with my “Warrior Card.” It is so simple to save with P.F. Changs. You go to their website, give them your physical address and they send you this cute little card with your name on it. You stick it in your wallet and whip it out whenever you got to P.F.’s. Hint: If you are going with a group of friends don’t ask for separate checks and divide the bill at the end so everyone can save (also they will only apply one card per table). Click here to get yours now.
- When is the last time you called the major insurance auto carriers and got a quote? A phone call to the major carriers every six months could save you hundreds of dollars. Rates change from year-to-year as does your underwriting risk level. So, take half an hour today and call the major carriers and get a quote. I would stick to getting quotes from companies who have been rated well by J.D. Power and Associates…click here for the list. Click here for Clark Howard’s guide to having the right coverage. We are partial to GEICO, but there is a bias cause the Gecko puts food on my table
Oh and of course we have the number for you to get a GEICO quote:1-800-861-8380. This sounds boring and mundane, but I bet you will save money if you spend some time this weekend to shop around…imagine more shopping money! - Get coupons sent to your cell phone…it’s called digital couponing. A site we love is called CellFire. You just enter your cell phone, year of birth, zip code and email address. You can browse the offers online or on your phone and save them to your phone. They you show the cashier the offer on your phone and get the savings! Another site offering digital savings is called Qponomics. You just go to the website and click on the type of smart phone you have to download the App.
So, start clicking your way to savings and enjoy this shortcut to fabulous finances!

Shortcut to Fabulous Restaurant Savings
September 24, 2009 by ShortcutsEditor
I take pride in being the girl who knows everything about everything fabulous, especially when it comes to steals and deals to live the fabulous life. However, a co-worker and good friend one-upped me not too long ago when I told her my secret to scoring gift certificates to great restaurants at a discount. When she led me to a radio station website where I could purchase $100 and $50 gift certificates for half price, I almost fainted. When I saw that my absolute favorite restaurants were featured on the website, I choked on my hundred calorie pack of cookies. I purchased a $100 gift certificate to Lucky Strike (a hip bowling alley and restaurant in South Beach) for $50 that day! I surmised that if my city has these deals, every other city in America must have them too. I spent the next few nights at home researching to give you links to websites offering these half price gift certificates in as many cities as I could find.
Click on edit, then find on your task bar above and type in your city or scroll below for links to websites in your area or city. Many of the websites offer half-off gift certificates for much more than restaurants! If your geographic location has not been included, do not fret. Type in “discount restaurant gift certificates for (city name)” in your favorite search engine. If you don’t find anything on that search trying visiting the websites of popular radio and television stations in your area. Are you planning a fabulous weekend getaway to another US destination anytime soon? Why not plan ahead, save money and check the broadcast websites for your favorite cities or future vacation destinations?!!!
Now, you might be wondering why these deals exist? There are several reasons, but one primary reason being that many of these restaurants advertise or do promotional work with local television and radio stations and as part of the promo packages, the stations receive gift certificates, in limited quantities of course. Generally, each station announces the deal on their radio programming or the website before it goes on sale and has a particular day and time every week that the certificates announced go on sale. Make note of the days and times stations for your particular area sell their certificates, and create a reminder for yourself in your phone or PDA.
Below you will find two links to savings everywhere and links to savings categorized by city. Please note that all of the links were operable at the time of publication. Please feel free to leave other links in the comments section, and of course, most of all….Thanks Dely for the inspiration for this shortcut to a fabulous deal!
On the right hand side, enter your zip code to find restaurants in your area offering gift certificates. Make sure that you read the restrictions as many have minimum purchases, restrictions on lunch or dinner or days of the week that the gift certificates are valid.
