A while ago I wrote a post on Gift Card Rescue.  If you missed that, you can read it {here}.  Well, right now, Gift Card Rescue has a deal going on for 17% off JC Penney Gift Cards.

How can this help YOUR wallet?
1. Say they have a gift card with a $100 value on it.    $100
2. You get 17% off the purchase of that gift card          -17
3. This brings the cost of this gift card to:                   $ 83

Good enough.  But don’t stop there!

Now use this gift card to purchase Christmas presents, birthday presents, anytime presents – during a sale.  However, to get even more for your money…click that mouse and shop online.  Before heading straight to the JC Penney website, click-thru one of the cash back sites listed on this page, or one of your choice.  Now shop and you’ll get yourself cash back on your purchase.  Before cashing out, be sure that you’ve checked the web to see if there are any coupon or promo codes available to use during the check out process.  If you aren’t sure how to do this {read this}.

In addition, JC Penney’s will often send out emails with $5 or $10 off a purchase.  They tend to come out often during the holiday season. There are times when they will send out an email with a code for free shipping with no minimum.

Happy Shopping!

You are all pretty much aware that you can recycle your old cell phones via different avenues. In addition, you’ve probably already have heard of sites that will pay you for your old or broken cell phone. However, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to go to one site to find out how much your cell phone is worth to each of these sites so that you can get the best deal? Well – now you can! Sellcell will help you sell phones you no longer want or need.

Simply:

1. Go to www.sellsite.com
2. Search for your cell phone’s make and model.
3. Check the prices offered and chose which site works best for you in terms of what they will pay you and their payment methods.
4. Sell your phone – Click on the ‘Sell Now’ to be taken to that destination.
5. Once you are at the recycling site you have chosen to be the best fit for you, fill in your details and follow the instructions to post your phone to them.  (This step includes the cell phone recycling program providing a freepost bag, along with an address of where to send the phone, all free of charge.)
6. Once the cell phone recycling company has received and checked your phone, they will send you payment via your selected payment method.

This is a great way to get the most bang for your buck on what you might otherwise just trash.  Did you know?  Research has suggested that there are up to 300 million unused cell phones in the USA.  Recycling cell phones helps the environment in many ways.  How cool is it if you can get some money for your old cell…I say, why not!  It’s a win-win situation!

Okay…so I am a bit wishing I had seen this website before now.  My father-in-law is going through horrible 100% Oxygen Treatments because he has a broken tooth in his mouth.  Normally, this would be no big thing for most of us, but for him…he had underwent basal tongue cancer treatments a few years ago and it ruined his teeth because the treatments left him with no saliva.

To make a long story short, why the dentist who went to pull this tooth didn’t have him go to an oral surgeon first – I’ll never understand.  Instead this dentist…knowing Pa’s history….chose to try to remove the tooth himself…breaking it further.  That’s when he decided Pa needed an oral surgeon.  The oral surgeon told him he couldn’t do a thing for him until he underwent the oxygen treatments.  This is because if he attempted to take the tooth out…Pa’s jaw bone would shatter.  Not cool!

If I had realized I could have gone to this website and would have been able to save Pa a lot of pain he’s in now with this broken tooth!  He still has 3.5 weeks left of treatments before anything can be done for this tooth!
