Vintage Style I LOVE NY Tshirts

NYC is darn expensive for tourists. But I LOVE NY T-Shirts are not.

Check this one out $2.22 for an adult black I [Heart] NY T-shirt - brand new on eBay.






A great tip for traveling to touristy locations or big events. Buy the shirts before or after you go -- not at the actual travel destination because you'll save money for the same exact thing!

Get rid of that emotional rationalization that you get from buying the expensive, marked-up item in New York City or the NY hotel gift shop. Is the actual experience and physical location in which you bought the item the point? Or is it a reminder of the great memories you had of the trip to New York City?

Forget About Snapfish, Kodak Gallery and Walgreens Photocenter. Here's 1,200 Free Photo Prints (Seriously)

From time to time, friends like to tell me about deals they find for Snapfish or Kodak Gallery where you can get 50 prints for $5 or something like that.

But personally, if I'm looking to print a bunch of prints from a trip or season (like summer vacation!), I'd rather get 1200 photo prints for free.

#1 Recommended Tool for Juniors Applying to College This Year in the Fall



Everyone has great SAT test scores. Everyone has leadership on their resume. Everyone has volunteer experience that makes your heart melt. They are team captains and olympic-bound athletes. Yes, your kid is the perfect kid....for Harvard, Princeton or any other school of you choice. But will the Admissions committee see that in the application, essays and interviews?

Here's one differentiator still on the plate for high school juniors to take advantage of -- an enlarged worldview.

Most Juniors are so busy with cramming, studying, and shining in so many ways that they forget about the world around them -- literally.

How to cure this deficit? READ THE NEWSPAPER.



Time and time again, essays and conversations in interviews easily show those students that are "a more advanced" in their maturity. And one way is to get your kid to read the Wall Street Journal daily. They'll quickly become versed in some of the "adult" things in life from the great articles in the Personal Journal section. They'll also be up to date on global news and issues from the rest of the paper.

It will be some of the best dollars you spend on their education. Get the paper delivered, get them to read it daily for a month or two and you'll see. It is quite amazing.

LINK: 1 full yr of WSJ.com + the Journal delivered = $125 total (over 75% off!)

The Ultimate Deal

Ok, this was kind of like a once in a lifetime deal.

Microsoft Office ULTIMATE suite (the largest, most robust version of Office) for 91% off retail price. That meant getting all of MS Office - Word, Excel Powerpoint, Endnote, Outlook, Frontpage, Groove, etc for only $59 total.

But I guess sometimes lightning strikes twice because this deal is back.

Currently, I am using my Microsoft Office Ultimate package on both my laptop and desktop (legal to install this on 1 laptop and 1 desktop PC) at home. And at $59 for a completely legal and full version of the software is sweeeet!

Now you can too. I would categorize this as one of those MUST-BUYS if you qualify. . .

How to get Starbucks VENTI Coffees for < $1

Did you know that you can get Starbucks Venti size (LARGE!) coffee for only $1 a cup?


Today, I went in to my local Starbucks and used a prepaid Starbucks card for my purchase. By using a registered pre-paid card at Starbucks, they apparently give you free flavoring and free milk options in your coffee.


And another bonus: hey also give you free refills on brewed coffee.


So for $1.95, I got 2 full Venti cups of Pike's Place Soy Hazelnut coffee today...


That's less than 1 dollar a cup.


You laugh, but this is serious $$ for some people. Saving $0.75-$1+ a day on the flavors + milk each time you go into Starbucks can translates into literally HUNDREDS of dollars saved over a year.

All you need is to get a pre-paid Starbucks card - one of those plastic gift-cards sitting at the counter and then ask them to load any amount onto it - even as little as a buck.

But the KEY is to REGISTER the card on starbucks.com -- it also allows you to get a replacement card with balance intact if you loose your cards somewhere.

When asking for a refill, just present the registered pre-paid card and ask for a free refill -- and they'll quickly swipe it and give you the refill or top off your coffee before you leave the store with no hassles.


Suddenly, the Starbucks habit doesn't seem so ridiculous on the wallet...

How To Get A LEGAL Copy of Microsoft Office 2007 for $59

The great part about software is that there is almost no cost to the actual product -- which means unlimited profit for the software company.

But what this means for the consumer is that if you are savvy enough, you can probably find some really good deals out there for the same exact thing. RIght now, Office Ultimate is available for $697 at Staples. NO JOKE.



For example, student versions of software are ridiculously cheap if you have a valid student id at a college, university or sometimes even primary schools (keep reading to find out about the Home & Student Editions of Microsoft Office for about 100 bucks).

But Microsoft has come up with a super enticing offer to get legal copies of its software into the hands of students across campuses to cut down on piracy and get some actual profits along the way.

Here's the ultimate deal for Microsoft Office 2007 ULTIMATE EDITION which
includes nine different Microsoft programs.

Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, Groove, OneNote, Publisher, Access, and more.

You need a valid university or school email address that ends in .edu. Once you buy it, you'll download the product and install it as a trial. And you simply enter the registration key that you purchase and it "unlocks" and becomes a fully licensed legal copy of the Microsoft office suite.






Now that is a sweet deal! At $59.95 for 10 programs, that's under $10/program! Compare that to the full price for MS Office 2007 Ultimate which is $457!

What's Included

* Access™ 2007
* Accounting Express 2007
* Excel® 2007
* Groove® 2007
* InfoPath® 2007
* OneNote® 2007
* Outlook® 2007 with Business Contact Manager
* PowerPoint® 2007
* Publisher 2007
* Word 2007


Secure your discount now before you regret that you missed the deadline (end of this month).



BUT WHAT IT I AM NOT A STUDENT with a student ID + .edu email address?

Microsoft still loves you. Ok, that's a stretch, but they love the benjamin's in your wallet... There's a little known version of Office that is generally available to the public which is legal for home and student use. In fact, it's called just that - Microsoft Office HOME & STUDENT 2007 -- and the full price is only $119 (free shipping!)

You are allowed to install in on up to 3 computer in a non-commercial setting.

This version doesn't have all 10 programs included in the Ultimate edition, but you'll get the most used programs: Word 2007, Powerpoint 2007, Excel 2007, and OneNote 2007. That's still a bargain at $119.

Don't Forget About Europe

In the US, we tend to think that everything is about US, as in U.S(A.). But it's not.

I recently shared how to get 75% off the Wall Street Journal online & print delivery. But if you're at all involved with business these days, you know that everything is global. And the news you need to know about increasingly needs to be global as well, even if you're doing busines only in the States.


So here's a tip for the Wall Street Journal Europe edition at 50% off:

Wall Street Journal Subscription Model Changing?

FYI, today's Wall Street Journal featured an article about how WSJ.com online is probably going to go to a free subscription model after the sale from Dow Jones is completed. The important part of the article is that they'll keep the premium content behind paid gates, kind of like NY Times Select.



Right now, list price for wsj.com online subscriptions is $99/year.


But the street price is much less if you just look a little further.


e.g. http://1.wallstreetjournaI.googlepages.com offers WSJ.com for $49/year to current print subscribers or $79/year for stand-alone WSJ.com online subscriptions or $9.95 for 30 days -- OR -- you can BOTH the print hard copy of the paper delivered + WSJ.com online subscription COMBINED for $125 for 1 Year 2 Months (60 weeks).



As a print reader to begin with, the $125 for both subscriptions is a no-brainer for me. Usually over $200 for 1 year of the print alone, this deal is amazing for print subscriptions by itself, and then you get online subscription included free. It's great when deals like this come your way.

3 Options for Subscription Discounts to the Wall Street Journal

I read the Wall Street Journal daily and there are a couple of sections/writers that I like to flip pages to first when I get the paper delivered each day.

  • The Personal Journal Section - the writers are spot on for editorial topics and the section usually has at least one article daily that hits home. It's a fun read, and usually informative - and practically applicable to life.
  • Walt Mossberg - Technology column, called The Mossberg Solution - which is now written usually by Katie Boehret (actually she probably wrote a LOT of the content that Mossberg used in his columns previously, but now she has her own bylines and has moved up in the WSJ reporting offices it seems.
  • Joe Morgenstern's movie reviews -- You can usually get a good sense of how a movie is going to be from the headline and sub-heads, but if you read on, the movie reviews are WELL written and somehow capture the essence of what you actually feel while watching the movie, but can't exactly put into words precisely. . . untill you read Joe's reviews. He has the uncanny ability to predict exactly how I'll react to certain scenes, actors, storylines, etc. I search for his reviews of movies before I go watch them now to see how much of my ticket money will be a waste.
  • "Under the A-Head" on the front page - usually an interesting off-beat article that has human interest (vs. hard news).
  • Marketplace section - it's the 2nd section I turn to after Personal Journal. It's my kind of paper.

Now there's 3 direct deals from WSJ that make this dirt cheap from Dow Jones. They are basically giving the paper away it seems (with the online version too): http://1.wallstreetjournaI.googlepages.com

Legoland Discount Admission Tickets (Carlsbad, CA)

Legoland is one of the better known amusement parks in the Southern California - San Diego area. Any kid on this planet knows what Legos are and their imaginations can just run wild thinking about spending a couple of days at LEGOLAND!

We are currently on vacation and have been to Legoland the last 2 days of our trip. But of course, there's got to be a way to get in the gates for less than $212/day for a family of 4!


REGULAR ADMISSION TICKET PRICING FOR LEGOLAND CALIFORNIA


ADULT 1 Day Admission: $57 2 Day=$69


CHILD 1 Day Admission: $44 2 Day=$56

(Parking $10/day)

Before we left for our trip we found an unbelievable exclusive discount to the theme park for both adults and kids. And it was available from the place that we always think of for getting cheap prices, but just not for things like tickets usually -- COSTCO!

Yes, that's right, if you go to the online site, and do a search for "legoland", you'll find discounted tickets available for 1-day tickets. But the real treasure is an exclusive online discount to the Legoland California amusement park -- for LESS than the price of a regular 1-day admission ticket, you can get a 3-month unlimited season pass! Which means two things:
  1. Even if you go for just 1 day, this discount will save you money!
  2. You can go to Legoland as many times as you want on your vacation without thinking about cost! Try it for 1 day, and if you like it, go back!

LEGOLAND DISCOUNT - 3 MONTH UNLIMITED PASS

ADULT 3-month Season Pass = $48.49

CHILD 3-month Season Pass = $38.99


Although 2 days was more than enough for our kids, this deal is must-buy for any visit to Legoland.

The Legoland park map looks like a huge park with a gazillion things to do at first glance, but after studying the map a little more after you start to stroll the park, it's not a huge amusement park. You'll find a couple of decent rides for most kids, and some very cool Lego creations like a mini-Las Vegas, New York City, dragons, Egyptian tomb, etc.

To be totally frank, our 3 year old said during the 2nd day that Hershey Park was much better and he wanted to go there that same day. But for most kids it's a decent alternative to Disney or the San Diego Zoo for Southern CA.

FYI, Volvo is a huge sponsor of Legoland (your kids can drive Volvo Legocars inside the park) -- but a neat sponsorship opportunity is seen where "Preferred Parking Spots" are available only for Volvo vehicles -- so if you have a Volvo, you won't be walking much from the parking lot.

Featured Deal: $13.72 Discount Off Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum New York City

Holy Metropolis! I just figured out how to effectively get the largest discount for Madame Tassaud's Wax Museum on 42nd Street in New York City.

Save $13.72 on each Full Adult Admission to Madame Tassaud's Wax Museum and see the New York location which is absolutely star-studded --- featuring J.Lo, Rachael Ray, American Idol, David Wright who became the first NY Mets player immortalized in wax, Usher, Jessica Simpson, and Paris Hilton, The Pirates of the Carribean, Superman Returns and many more STUNNING wax replicas of movie stars and celebrities you always wanted to take a picture with! NOW YOU CAN.

  • Madame Tussauds is open 365 days a year at 10.00am.
  • During the summer season, Madame Tussauds offers extended hours. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, doors open at 10am and the last entry is at 10pm. Just as a reminder, they are open every holiday of the year. If everything else is closed, go visit Madame Tussauds!

HOW TO PAY ONLY $17.71 AND GET INTO MADAME TUSSAUD'S WAX MUSEUM

The 7-day New York City Pass is usually $155.00. But you can knock off $31 to bring it down to $124 -- which makes it $17.71/day. That means going to just 1 attraction worth more than $17.71 will mean you're saving money immediately on your first sightseeing visit!


WHILE THE PEOPLE RIGHT NEXT TO YOU OVERPAID FOR THEIR $31.43 TICKETS!

You can buy a ticket directly from the museum's website for $31.43. But you can get in for $13.72 less if you use the NY Pass! PLUS you'll still be able to get in free to 40+ other NYC attractions and get in free on the same day!

CHEAPER THAN CHILDREN'S TICKETS OR SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNTS

This doesn't happen often, but with Kid's Admission usually $23 and Senior Citizens $26, the $17.71/day cost of the New York Pass is a great opportunity to save money for everyone in your family -- except kids under 4 years of age . . . they are free! :-)
