Clever tricks, 9/1/08 edition

Welcome to Clever Tricks, where I write all about my clever ways to save money. You might call this "cheap" or even something you think is hurtful or embarrassing. But honestly, it's clever -- so clever, that I wanted to share my tricks with you! Hope you enjoy!

Clever tricks this past weekend:

• went to a club and lounge before they charged cover. they didn't let us in until after the designated time, but enough folks complained that they didn't charge us cover anyway! we enjoyed two clubs for FREE!
  
• visited sunset on the beach -- free, sponsored by tesoro and the city of honolulu. we got to see the world premier of a fun kids show for FREE!
• enjoyed our first blockbuster movie! i signed up for blockbuster using paypal as my primary method of payment, and i received 2 weeks free PLUS will receive $25 credit into my paypal account. signed up for a $12 plan, which is one dvd unlimited plus two store exchanges/month. that means FREE movies for over two months!
  

Clever upcoming tricks:

• visit the macy's one day sale this friday and saturday (not sure why there are TWO days in this ONE day sale, but that's how it always goes). they're offering amazing deals AND if you use the special coupon, you can get an additional $10 off when you buy $25 worth of stuff...pay $15 for $300 worth of stuff!!! you can also apply for a macy's card to get additional discounts!
