Silicon Valley International Auto Show is offering free ticket & motor trend subscription.  (A free 12 month subscription to Motor Trend Magazine is included).

I saw this on Seoflexmedia in regard to a $50 Facebook Ad coupon.  I haven’t had the chance to try it yet but advertise on Facebook will definitely be one of the things I like to try in the upcoming New Year.

Go here for the coupon code.

I haven’t seen any specific deals that jump out at me but post Christmas is among biggest sale dates for retailers.  It is estimated that 10% of retail revenue is generated by post Christmas sale (before New Year) as people hit the stores looking for bargain.

The thing I usually get after Christmas is Christmas tree ornaments and this year will be no exception.  Last year I purchased a Christmas tree (plastic one) for less than half of the label price.  However, I wasn’t able to get enough lights and ornaments.  I love decorating Christmas tree but I hate paying such a high price for the ornaments.  Be sure to take the next few days to look for the things you want but didn’t get for Christmas!

Here is to everyone a merry Christmas and a save holiday season!

The holiday season has not started well for me.

• I broke my glasses when I actually fall asleep.
• I made too sharp of a turn in an underground parking lot and scrapped the passenger side of my car.
• In the process of getting a new pair of glasses and getting my car fixed, I lost my cell phone.

The total cost will for me to get a replacement glasses, replacement phone, and get my car fixed will be in the ball park of $1000.  With all the different attempt to be frugal, if I simply pay more attention to my surrounding and don’t incur the uncessary cost I could have enjoyed more things I would like to have but find too expensive to purchase (e.g. x-box 360, ps3, iphone with plan).  As of now, I am suffering from frugal fatique and not in a joyous mood for the current holiday season.

I was quite surprised yesterday to log into my Adgitize account and see that they have decided to reduce their price back to $14/monthly.  The current sets of individuals who is paying higher prices will get their advertisement extended in the following way: 22 days for $24 ad / 10 days for $18 ad / 5 days for $12 ad.

As a company I can definitely see the need for Adgitize to increase price in order to pay for different server cost.  I, for one, didn’t mind paying the $24 if I receive a decent amount of traffic from them on a regular basis.  However, the number of advertisers dropped off tremendously new price was enforced.  From the customers perspective, I am glad to see they are monitoring and responding to their customer base on a regular basis.  From running a business, I worry about whether keeping the price low will be feasible in the long run.

Personally I love DSLRs and Amazon is currently having a one day sale for Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens for $409.  Order now and you will also get free two day shipping so it can make it in time for Christmas!

Disney Digital Books is currently offering free sample to 7 books including 1 Look and Listen book plus 1 Story-Builder creation.

Amazon is currently offering Flip MinoHD camcorder for $120.  That is down from the $160.  Flip MinoHD camera gives you one hour of recording and the small size makes it very useful when you are traveling.
