Recyclebank
Does anyone not know about this? Recyclebank gives you points for doing things you want to do already. You might get points if your area participates in their program. You also can get points for learning about recycling or making various pledges. How much fun it that? Well at least I enjoy it.
Then they have various rewards you can get with points. It could be coupons on food or gift cards to restaurants or other places. They even have discounts or gift cards to the movies. Now you have to admit that really is cool.
Here's my link. I think I get 25 points if you join so please do.
Till next time!

So even though I don't post often I do like to when I find a really fabulous deal. The newest 'toy' I've found is texts from various businesses. Like if you text McOffers to 46786 McDonald's send you texts. To date we have gotten texts for a free sandwich, free snack size fish bites, and free Frappe or smoothie. :) I love free food, especially fast food.

Random Thoughts - Leaders
I do not have any place else to keep random thought. Then I thought of putting them here. I am not sure why they qualify as a deal and steal though. :)
I am thinking about leaders today. More specifically what makes people leaders? The conclusion I have come to is that a leader is a person that has to be able to take the heat and keep thinking.
If they are speaking they have to keep thinking so they do not say something stupid. If they are working they have to keep working so they cannot keep wrapped up in problems. They have to think.
That is one of the areas I have to work on. To be able to think clearly at all times.

Surprisingly Engaging Book
The Final Summit by Andy Andrews combines a bit of history, a bit of self-help, and a powerful story to keep me engaged and turning the pages. When I first opened the book I was ready for a little light reading. I certainly was surprised by the storyline. It was interesting and kept me paying attention.
The beginning of the book seemed a bit syrupy. It seemed to be about a powerful man who cared about people. He was older and had suffered loss. Being at a point in his life full of reflection I wondered if the story would go badly.
It quickly turned in to a book with angels, exciting dialogue, and a problem that definitely needed to be solved. The historical characters may not have been directly quoted, but they certainly could have acted and spoken the way they did in the book.
It was a pleasure to read about the mixture of characters. Although the problem to solve was the main plot to the story, the way the historical characters interacted was an amusing side line to the story. I definitely was entertained and inspired by this book. I felt energized to get back to my life and the people in it.
I definitely recommend reading this book. It is a great pick me up if you are feeling down or discouraged. For the faithful it can lead to thought processes that will come back to you in the days to come. The charm is that you do not even realize this will happen while reading the book.

BookSneeze
I just found this really cool site called BookSneeze.com. They will send you a book to review. I actually have my first one and am working on the review now. The sign up is easy and free!
After I was approved I went to order my first book. I had to work with the shopping cart a little to get the code in the right place. I also had to put in my paypal for the tiny shipping charge. The shipping charge was refunded in the next day or two.
It took about a week to 10 days for my book to arrive. But I have it! There is no requirement for me to write a positive review either. I could not ethically agree to that. This certainly qualifies a a deal and steal for me. I love to read.

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....
