To start out I wanted to brag that I made the right call about the Arrested Development deal selling out. I don’t know how close I was to the time I guessed, but I guessed 1:00 p.m. and I couldn’t get to the computer until 2:50 p.m. and it was sold out by then, so it was a pretty good call by me, yeah me.

Let’s talk coupon codes, they have been popping up like crazy recently and if you are buying something online and not using a coupon code then STOP and make sure you aren’t missing out on saving yourself some bucks. There is a coupon code category in the Forums section which you can find here. Some of the recent codes I have listed are for Macys, Victoria’s Secret, Champs, Footlocker, Gamestop, Kohl’s, Baskin Robbins, Borders… If you’ve placed an order at one of these places and you didn’t use a coupon code, it is definitely worth a shot to call up their customer service and ask them to apply the code for you. If for some reason you get a badazz rep who won’t do this, and the store didn’t ship the items yet you could tell them then to cancel your order so that you redo it with the coupon code, and that you would like to talk to the manager to complain about the hassle of doing this due to their unfriendly service. This will usually get the ball rolling in your favor and they should end up helping you…

In the deal section of UsedShoe Forums (which you can find here) you may want to check out two deals in particular. There is a 22″ Acer LCD monitor for $179.99 after $50 rebate. This is a pretty good deal for a 22″ monitor as most of them sell in the range of $200-250. The other deal is for sports fans, there is a sale on Major League Baseball hats for $9.99 each (and free shipping with orders above $25). This sale though also features retro hats which usually sell at a premium, and there are quite a few nice ones with style from the 1980′s. I have my eye on two of them and need to pick out a third one to get the free shipping.

Subway and The Family Guy are having a free contest/giveaway where the grand prize is $25,000. It is easy, basically just fill out your info (name, email, address) and play the game (takes all of 20 seconds) to see if you win. You can find this game here. If you didn’t win (like me 5 seconds ago) you can enter code EATFRESH for a second try at the game. This game ends the end of this month. If you win let me know what prize you won so I can be jealous! PS: You can play this game every day until the promotion ends.
