Local Deals
The web site Pocket Your Money provided the following. The surprising one was Target's daily special.
Groupon
Groupon will send you an email each weekday with a deal specific to your metro area. I’ve seen deals on restaurants, salons, dental work, car repair and everything in between. Each deal is offered in a limited quantity and for one day only. The deals must be purchased by a minimum number of people too, otherwise they’re cancelled (but I doubt that happens very often).Adility
Adility works the same way as Groupon, where you are emailed one deal every day that’s specific to your local area. Their deals are always offers for 50-90% off full retail price.Restaurant.com
Restaurant.com sells coupons (they call them certificates) for area eateries. Each coupon requires a minimum purchase, but even with that you can get some great deals. Right now, use the code DINE and you’ll get 50% off any Restaurant.com certificate, plus a free $10 Restaurant.com certificate good on a future purchase. Learn more about it by reading this review, Restaurant.com: What It Is and How It Works.Swagbucks
Who doesn’t like the thought of earning by surfing the web? Swagbucks let’s you do just that. You earn points that are redeemable for gifts. My favorite is the $5 Amazon gift card that costs 450 points. An active web user could likely earn that in a few weeks. When you join Swagbucks right now you’ll get 60 bonus points for registering when you use the code POCKETDOLLARS. Swagbucks just had its 2nd birthday and in this Happy Birthday Swagbucks article, I share a plethora of ways you can rack up Swagbucks quickly.Target Daily Deals
Don’t you love walking the back aisles at Target looking for great clearance-priced deals? Better than that, you can check out Target’s Daily Deals. Every day they offer exclusive deals online that are good for that day only. They have a couple each day, so when one sells out the next comes up. You can subscribe to get these deals via email, text or RSS feed.Calling all money savers...

Grandma Still Drives
Dear Grand-daughter,
The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a
'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker ..
I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a
thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting.
So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.
Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed.
I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in
thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the
light had changed.
It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't
honked, I'd never have noticed.
I found that lots of people love Jesus!
While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy,
and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of
God!'
'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!'
What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!
Everyone started honking!
I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people.
I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!
There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach.
I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger
stuck up in the air.
I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant.
He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back.
My grandson burst out laughing.
Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!!
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.
I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is
when I noticed the light had changed.
So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on
through the intersection.
I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection
before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave
them after all the love we had shared.
So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!
Will write again soon,
Love, Grandma

Jury Duty Scam
Pass this on to your grown children. This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below). Please pass this on to everyone in your email address book. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take those summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty that a new and ominous kind of fraud has surfaced.
The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this information and bingo; your identity was just stolen.
The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma , Illinois , and Colorado . This (swindle) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they are with the court system.
The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.
