Energy Efficient Doors Windows and Doors

My friend told me to tell you that you can get money back on the right windows and doors. This is the same friend that is getting money back on her air conditioning. She says it will also help with the heating and cooling bills. Conservation and saving money.

Tylenol

Ok. So I'm a little obsessive. There are two confirmed cases of swine flu at my grandchild's school. Not my teenager, my grandchild, who lives next door. Anyway with the $2.00 tylenol coupons, I bought six boxes of 24 count rapid release tylenol at Walgreens this week... Anyway... :)

My friend is getting a new air system

My friend is getting a new air system. Hers went kaput in the apartment attached to her house. My friend is very careful with her money.

She decided to shop around (calling). Most of the bids she got were in the $6000+ range. In the process of shopping around one of the places told her about a possible rebate on her taxes. Well it really turns out to be so much taken off her pre tax income. Anyway the important part is that not all the companies told her about it. She would not have known if she didn’t shop around.

She told a couple of companies that she wanted specific brands because of the rebate. They were trying to sell less expensive brands but with the rebate she figures it will come out to roughly the same amount.

Well finally she found one place that knew about the ‘rebate’ and which brands of air systems would qualify. Their price was $5100. They have also been in business for a lot of years. Basically she easily saved a $1000 with a little effort and research, as well as is getting a better quality system!

McDonald's Deals

McDonalds is really trying to get our business. I also can't resist free food if I need to buy it anyway.

On Mondays they have a free 8 oz McCafe. It is a miniture of the larger McCafe.

If you get McCafes at McDonalds they have punch cards for you to get your fifth cup free. You may have seen similar cards at other stores, but the fifth one free is a pretty good deal.

Then right now if you order a breadfast sandwich it has a coupon on it for a free sandwich if you buy a McCafe.

So here is the deal. Any day EXCEPT Mondays I can use a coupon for a free sandwich, get my card punched when I buy the coffee and have breakfast for roughly $3.25. On the fifth day I use my filled up coffee card and buy my sandwich for right around the same price.

I'm very happy....
