Nothing in life is free

I was tipped off to a deal at Staples for $25 worth of free Sharpie's products. Now I never really believe that something is free but after hearing from a few friends that they actually ordered it, I was tempted to believe.

The bottom line is instead of paying in dollars and cents you will be paying in time. You, of course, have to open a Staples account. Then, since there is some kind of bug in the system, you process your order and pay for it and then have to call customer service (we all know what fun that is) to get the money back. Then, if you want to avoid shipping costs, you have to go to the store to pick it up. Yeah, not exactly free.

In the theme of black friday sales, I spent time looking for airline tickets for my cousin (not a bad price at usair). Then I looked up some Israeli sales going on at bug (not a bad deal on the external hard drives so I will probably head over there after work).

Now it is time to get back to my snapfish photobook. I have 2 days to finish before their 50% off sale ends. The pressure!
