Getting bargins!!
I just wanted to share my thoughts on getting a good deal.
1. Good deals are only good if you do it honestly. Don't try to use a coupon or a deal that is known to be fraudulent. We all make mistakes, but by knowingly getting a fradulent deal, you are ruining the repuations of couponers everywhere!
2. Stockpiling. It's great to stockpile, but if you buy 40 toothpastes and leave none for other couponers, you are being selfish. When I stockpile, I buy what I can use for 6 to 9 months ( a typical sale cycle), if I end up getting more then I can use, I donate the items to the homeless shelter, the food pantry, our local church or the animal shelter. Share and give, don't be SCROOGE!!
3. Be Polite. When I get in line at the store, with a fist full of coupons, I will let the poor guy behind me go if he has only 2 things in his hands. Remember this is a hobby and a savings, again, you can easily ruin the perspective of the people you are trying to win over to saving money!!

The way this economy is right now, it’s hard to save a few bucks. It seems like the essential stuff, like gas and groceries, just keep going up in cost. However, I’ve found a great way to stretch my entertainment budget! You can save on video rentals by switching your TV service over to DISH Network. As a customer and employee of DISH I know that customers can get access to the Blockbuster Movie Pass, which gets me over 100,000 movie titles either through the mail or streamed right to my computer or TV. Why go to the video store when you can stream right to your living room? And with the home DVD service, I was also able to save a few extra bucks by canceling my Netflix subscription.
Sorry, spelling error on my last post! As a former customer of the Dish, I can tell you YOU WILL NOT SAVE MONEY WITH DISH!
I get free TV without cable or satillite costs. I borrow all the movies I want from the library. Some TV shows are now online for free. And Between Redbox and BlockBuster Express, I can save tons over Dish. You posted that you are an employee and customer. I can believe that if you think Dish Network will save you money!
Dish Network is NOT going to save you money! Between my fathers research and my research, we found that DISH will NOT save you money!
Nice try advertising on my blog though!
