Dad wants Free Gas for Father's Day

$85 Back on a $100 Purchase of Dockers at Sears

Boy, was I excited to hear about this one! It appears that Sears is running a very frugal promotion through June 15th involving the purchase of $100 in Dockers brand clothing or accessories (belts, sock, pants, shorts, shirts, etc...but does excluse shoes.). When customers send in their receipt along with their entry form, Sears will give them a $75 gas gift card and also a $10 Sears Reward card by mail -- so a total of $85.00 back! And you can also be entered to win a hybrid Toyota Prius.

Entry forms can be found at Sears Department store point-of-sale posters between June 7th and June 15th, and can be found online here.

To enter, fill out the entry form in its entirety -- check the "opt-in" entry form box to indicate your desire to enter the sweepstakes -- and mail it to Dockers Gas Card Offer & Hybrid Car Sweepstakes, PO Box 1083, Grand Rapids, MN 55745-1083. Entries must be postmarked by no later than July 1, 2008 and received by July 8, 2008.

The easiest way to lower your electric bill by $100

Have you heard of FPL's OnCall Program?

In Central Florida, FPL (Florida Power & Light) has a program allowing you to save money on your electric bill every month. We signed up a couple months ago and have already seen the savings on our monthly statement. You call FPL, they schedule an appointment for you, and they send a contractor to your house to install some hardware on your existing major electrical appliances (hot water heater, A/C, pool pump). It's that easy!

You receive the monthly credit whether or not your appliances are cycled off. You are able to pick and choose which appliances you want to enroll. Cycling off is usually only for brief periods of time during peak demand. This is also an easy way to reduce stress on our planet by saving energy. So far, I have not noticed any cycling off. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened; it just means I haven't noticed it...except in my pocket book. Find out more information here: https://app.fpl.com/secure/forms/oncall.shtml

Pretzel Perfect

If you are at the mall anytime between now and June 12th (And how many of us won't be there at least once?), and end up near an Aunt Annie’s Pretzel, text the word “pretzel” to the number 70734. You’ll receive a coupon good for one free Aunt Annie’s Pretzel. You are able to do this once each day! So take a daily pretzel break instead of a daily coffee break.
