My Recent Dose of Self-Help

Today Tooheyworld, the TooheyBugs and I went for a drive to Holyoke. I wanted to get Tooheyworld his birthday present, early. I wanted to have him come just incase there was a different or better one that he may have wanted.

What was it? A Record Player. The house is filled with a very impressive selection and collection of Records. 

The problem: They look great sitting on the shelf, but would sound even better being listened to and enjoyed.

Solution: Get a Record Player

So we went to Bed Bath and Beyond and looked at this Record Player. I have been doing research about a recordable one for a while now, and through my searching, I found this one to be the "best" and a decent price, too. I thought it would be perfect. It looked like an old radio but had today's technology and conveniences built into it. It had a Casette Tape player, which I thought recorded from Casette to CD; Tooheyworld doesn't think you can. 

We have a nice set of Bose Speakers at home, I thought records would sound great on them; Tooheyworld said that it wouldn't be able to plug into the speakers at home.

And the most important feature? It records Records onto CD.

So, my plan backfired. Although the excitement and curiosity levels were great; the plan, not so much. 

He looked at the other kind that they have. The kind that is only a Record Player, but with USB. In other words, it has to be connected to the computer, because it records Records through the computer. It doesn't just record right onto a CD, kind of like an extra step, but missing a few luxuries. 

I could be wrong about this. So, if you have a suggestion or comment about this topic, I want to hear what you have to say.

So, we left and went over to Circuit City to see what they had. We found two of the USB kinds and none of the Old Fashioned kind. 

But I see as I sit here writing this post and going to the websites to get the links, they have a way better selection online than in store stock. Why is that? There are just some things you want to see, touch and feel before purchasing it. Which is why online shopping isn't for everything.

He wanted to think about which one to pick and think about it, so we walked around for a bit. We let each of the TooheyBugs pick out a Wii game. Jacob got Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots and Daniela got a Bratz The Movie one. Shawn got 2 CD's. FYI; one CD is listed for $12.99 online and we paid $9.99 at the store, so we saved $3.00 and the Wii games were originally $29.99 and $39.99 and we paid $19.99 each. So, that is a savings of $30.00 for the Wii games. That's $33.00 total saved. 

I wanted to go to Barnes & Noble to see if they had the book I have been looking for for a few months now. 

It is always out of stock when I go stop in at Borders. I have had them special order it for me, but both times, I couldn't get there to pick it up. So they end up putting it on the shelf and selling it. It was almost driving me crazy. Why is this book always sold out? 

So, we walked around for a bit. There must have been a Book Club or Study Group going on, because the cafetaria part was fully occupied; No Vacancies. 

Barnes & Noble seems to me like it would be the perfect place to hold a Book Club. Speaking of Book Clubs, does anyone know of any in the Springfield, MA area or surrounding areas? I am interested in joining a Book Club.

While exploring and sifting through books, the kids needed to use the bathroom, as usual when we get to anywhere, all the time, at every stop. Why do kids need to do this?

So, we went up the escalator and let them use the bathroom. We waited outside of the door for them. When they came out, we walked over to the Self-Help section. That is my most favorite section. I was looking through seeing if I could find that book. I didn't see it. So I went over to the computers that you search for a book on. It said that it had one in stock. I asked an employee to tell me where to get that book. He told me that they had one and that it must be inside of a box or behind a box; or something like that. I was hoping that their inventory was right and that I wasn't getting my hopes up for nothing. I asked him politely if he could find that book, and he did. It was even more awesome because I went there to get that book knowing it was going to be around $20 and I was willing to pay what they were asking for it because I wanted it so desperately at this point. When he gave it to me, it said $4.95! How awesome was that? Barnes & Noble's website wants $19.96 for the hardcover edition and I only paid $4.95 at the store. I saved $15.01 total. How exciting!

And in the meantime of waiting for him to tell me if he found it or not, I found another book that caught my eye and called out to me. And, I have been Organizationally Challenged for quite some years now. It began before Daniela was born, but after I was pregnant with her. I think it was because of everyone giving me baby stuff and sending me their hand-me downs and then keeping it all for the next child, I learned how to collect, save and clutter. I am really good at it now! {Bad Joke}

I believe in fate; that everything happens for a reason and people, things, situations, circumstances and etc. are presented to each one of us at a particular time for a reason. I may sound like a fool here, but I think that the book was put in front of me at this time in my life, this time at the store and not prior or later because I am supposed to read this book now, not prior or later.

Anyways, I decided to start reading Let Go Of Clutter by Harriet Schechter - The Miracle Worker first.

Funny how things work out, right?

Black Friday Deals: 10 Best Resources

I was introduced to some of these Black Friday Sites a few years ago by my dad. It's good to see the original ones around and thriving still and nice to see some new ones, too. I remember back in the day, they would get leaks of the ads by annonymous employees/ex employees and be threatened by the stores of a lawsuit if they didn't take the ads off their sites. It's funny how times have changed. Some still do not like their ads put up on the internet, but most have figured out that this is good for business and they can check out what the competition is offering and they allow it to be posted. Not all of them are coming from annonymous sources anymore, rather the stores are submitting their own ads.

He was a great deal seeker and that is where I get my thriftiness from. Having 5 kids, they didn't have much choice but to find ways to make a dollar stretch. Since he always loved the craziness of Black Friday and his birthday is coming up, November 30, this one is in memory of him. I personally have never shopped on a Black Friday, rather working them; marketing products in stores for the Christmas seasons. Maybe this year will be a first. But I will tell you, I won't be waking up at 2 am to wait in the freezing cold, rather, I will be using the power of the internet to get my Black Friday Finds!

In the United States, the day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday. Many stores offer tremendous discounts starting very early in the morning. For some, the day becomes a major operation as they strategize where to go for the best deals.
Luckily, there are websites that provide information from various retailers’ ad circulars in one handy location. Here are 10 sites to help you research deals to plan your Black Friday.
You can look up ads by retailer or category, or just sit back and talk about your favorite Black Friday stories on these sites’ various forums. What are your plans for the biggest sale day of the year?

BFADS.net - Keeps you posted on current hot deals as you wait for all of the Black Friday ads to roll in. Also has a message board for users to trade experiences and ideas related to the day.
Black-Friday.net - Offers some discount codes beyond the standard Black Friday ad scans, but that is the extent of this site.
Blackfday.com - Blackfday presents not only the sales info for the traditional brick & mortar stores, but also all of the big online retailers.
BlackFriday.fm - Partnered up with DealsPlus, BlackFriday.fm brings you the latest circular ad scans as well as a video explaining what Black Friday is.
BlackFriday.GottaDeal.com - GottaDeal offers up chances at bargains every day, but for Black Friday they have a dedicated section. Besides the standard method of looking up the sales by retailer, you can also look them up by product category to quickly see who has the best deal on your desired item.
BlackFriday.info - This Black Friday site brings you hot deals and coupons throughout the year, but for the actual big day they not only show you the ads early, but provide you with a shopping list of what will be available.
BlackFridayAds.com - Lets you look up deals by store or category, as well as prepare shopping lists so you are set to go on Black Friday morning.
DealTaker.com - DealTaker offers information for Black Friday and Cyber Monday along with tips on how to make the most out of both events.
TGIBlackFriday.com - TGIBlackFriday puts up circular ad items and lets you compare the Black Friday price to the everyday price from PriceGrabber.
TheBlackFriday.com - Offers pretty straight forward listings of stores in alphabetical order. Will be updated as ads come out.

Beat MY Price

I was using Beat MY Price last night to find certain things. I really like how this site saves you on a few steps that a normal search would take you through before finding what you were looking for.

Now, I have been reading a lot about how the term Web 2.0 is so yesterday. But, I really like that name for it because the web is so much more interactive and in my opinion, much nicer to look at visually.

Off with her banter! Go check it out!

Another thing is, I went to search for them...they aren't coming up first in Google's Search Engine yet. Does anyone see an opportunity to pick up a gig and help out with their SEO?
