This and that

Get a 30 day free trial of Magic Jack, click here. I believe it requires a credit card number which won't be charged until after 30 days. Many people do have Magic Jack - it's a legitimate alternative to a regular landline and it is much cheaper. You pay a flat rate for the year.

There is a charity promotion going on at Macys. Donate $1 and receive a $10 Macys coupon good on $10+. Unfortunately, there is a wide variance on how the promotion is being handled. Some stores are requiring a $5 donation, some stores limit it to one per person, and some stores are selling them in unlimited quantities to anyone. Obviously, if you can get a $10 coupon for only $1, that is like buying a $10 bill with a $1 bill. Gee, if you are lucky enough to have a Macys that will let you get as many as you want, that's a great way to stock up on small purchases, like socks or undies, kitchen gadgets or sale items. Each register has a stack of the $10 coupons, so even if you're told at one register they are all out, go to another register and keep asking. You can't stack them, meaning you can't use two $10 coupons to buy a $20 item. The fun part is finding great deals in the $10.xx range.

On September 24th from 5 - 8pm, Cold Stone Creamery will have a charity event. Get a 3 oz Creation when you donate any amount to Make-A-Wish.
