Time goes, you say? Ah no! Alas, Time stays, we go.

Hey guys,

I want to first apologize for not updating this in two months or so. Once school started back up I was swamped with group meetings, homework, and work. The good news is that things are starting to slow down and my weekends will be free after October 31st. (I work at a corn maze on the weekends and that is our last day) The first weekend of November I will be attending a conference sponsored by MEDA - a micro loan and entrepreneurial non-for profit. There I will be competing in a group case competition against business related majors from other schools. I hope to post some exciting information from the conference and case competition once I get back. After that I will be back to focusing on my quest for $1000 of freebies and be posting reviews on the best Black Friday deals - and possibly reviews of products or hints and tips on where to save a few bucks this holiday season.

*Update for the road to $1000 worth of freebies
I'm currently around $400, but I'm backed up on taking pictures and uploading them. I plan on having a separate album from face book on here for other visitors to see, which will probably be up mid-Nov. Until then check out my face book page for the most current updates on my quest.

I wanted to leave my readers with some exciting freebies that they can go out and claim. Waffle House is giving out free waffles when you print off a coupon. Here's the link for the coupon

Also if you become a fan of pilot on face book you can print off coupons for a free mountain dew whiteout and free hot beverage. Click here for their facebook page

The waffle house deal expires Nov. 1st and the pilot coupons are good through Nov. 30th, but be sure to print them out now just in case they disappear!

Road to $1000 Update

As of today I have passed the $150 mark. I've got numerous cologne samples, some free food, coupons, small nutritional samples, and hair and body samples. In the mail is an amazon gift card and SOBE flipflops which will bring me close to $200 by the time they come.

Here's some deals to share with you:

- Write 10 qualifying reviews by 8/31/2010 and receive a $10 amazon gift card:

Just in time for a new semester

Amazon is offering current students 1 year of amazon prime for free! What is amazon prime? Amazon prime is usually $79 a year to purchase and allows prime eligible items free 2 day shipping and upgrades to 1 day shipping for only $3.99. This is a great deal for college students who may not know what books they need for classes until the last minute. Now students can receive their books quicker and cheaper than amazon's regular free super saver shipping. The nice thing about prime also is that you do not need to meet any minimum requirement like the $25 requirement for free super saver shipping. In addition amazon student members get exclusive discounts on a variety of products and categories. Discounts and promotions will be e-mailed to your Amazon.com e-mail account or made available on the Amazon Student membership page at www.amazon.com/student. Eligibility is only to students currently enrolled in a college or university who have a valid .edu e-mail address, which you will need to confirm in order to participate in Amazon Student.
