Thanks H and M Austin,Wrapp

I had such a fun day strolling The Domain here in Austin. My future place of residence right above Tiffany's & Co. Well I downloaded the Wrapp application from the. www.wrapp.com to my phone. It's such a handy way to send gift cards to friends. I received a $6 gift card from a friend and decided to use it this week after the H & M grand opening. Well then another friend sent me one because they knew I was back in Austin.

The place was a mad house on the first day Saturday, November 17. There was no way I was going to get anyone to standout all night with me. So I waited with my gift cards until the dust settled. I can't fit anything in the store except these fab earrings. The highest dress/pants size they have for women  is 14. I am an 18 now soon to be 16. Yeehaw thanks for my two pair of earrings H & M for only $2.11 that's very frugal of you.

What annoyed me was the cashiers not knowing about this giveaway online via Wrapp. Who does that? How can you launch something and not inform the people who are the frontliners. That is my pet peeve about companies. They often dish out great ideas and giveaways and make these partnerships and then the people who need to know the info never get it.

When the cashier said she couldn't accept it from my android phone and that she had never seen the code like this on a phone. I asked to see the manager. The manger of course knew what it was. Lightbulb moment... teachable moment. ALWAYS  ALWAYS train and inform before launching new stuff.

You waste peoples time and money (well gas). I'm a frugal gal. I like nice things but I do not like spending money AT ALL. Well at least not my own. LoL.  So here is the skinny. The app works great. I like the wallet theme. I like that they allow an expiration date on the gift cards as well. The archive function so you can see what you used is pretty snazzy. What I will say is that the application takes up a lot of space on my phone. I don't know why but it does.. That was my one of my pet peeves plus you have to have an internet connection for it to work... That was another thing... when my connection was lost I had to go outside the store and connect to get to the gift card. BLAH... cashier got on my nerve... "I have never seen this before"... It's like they are new to technology but they are the "tech generation". I am 33 so I'm a bit older than them. Gift cards through applications is the way to go. You won't lose them anymore or get them stolen by some thief.. that is unless they get a hold of your phone. .

Well I'm off dolls.

Keurig KCup Craigslist Catastrophe turns into love

Let me first say I have been wanting a Keurig since they came out. I don't drink a lot of coffee but I do love tea and hot chocolate. I was so fascinated by a demonstration that I was given at a Macy's during Christmas. Anywho I went on Craigslist to find one since I am frugal and don't like paying full price for anything. It retails at $149 at Walmart http://www.walmart.com/ip/Keurig-B60-Special-Edition-Brewer-and-Choice-of-K-Cups-Beverage-Bundle/20693072. Let me tell you I had my first bad experience on Craigslist. I saw an ad for a brand new Keurig for $50. Only paying 33% with no taxes seemed like a great win a savings of 67%. I met the lady and for some reason I should have known something was wrong. As soon as I opened the item upon getting it home it looked brand new. I should have known better when trying to plug it in I saw the cord was severely scorched to the core and the item didn't work. I was so mad. I won't go into detail but I did file a poli...
