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.

SAFEWAY Private Selection - Desserts Only for me!

So I'm a buzzagent and I'm buzzing about the SAFEWAY Private Selection products... YEAH YUMMY FREE!..but hold up not as good as I would have hopped for.... I'm a chicken-a-holic... so I went with the bar-b-que pizza and the southwestern style chicken trumpets ( 7.69$) for 8. They were not good at all it was like stale chicken and not worth the price. I wouldn't necessarily purchase the pizza or trumpets again based upon the taste, price, or quantity. Honestly the desserts are worth the money! I have a sweet tooth!.. clearly! I loved the vanilla creme puffs and the chocolate lava cakes!

Another Man's Treasure - 2 treasures

This weekend I went out to take out the trash and what do you know I found a 32-inch Emprex HD-3201D TV I also found a six drawer cart near the dumpster. I guess it doesn't sell much anymore at Fry's or any other store for that matter. It retailed between $400-800 in it's hay day. This brand is known for the defect in the power supply. It appears it was manufactured in 2005. I am going to replace both the power supply and the tuner. I found out that I will have to pay only 50-60$ for a power supply on ebay. I have set this as my May 2011 Project. Some people don't like dumpster diving, they think that it's dirty or that it's for the poor. I do not agree.I'm not against dumpster diving I absolutely solute those who can make another persons trash their treasure. I actually wasn't looking for these items or diving for them just there. I've wanted an LCD TV for awhile it's going to be fun to fix and not have to spend so much on it. . It...
