Wrist bands will be handing out at store opening (they have not told us how many per store, but it's usually around 100) and if you make a purchase of $20 or more you get Lego Rock Band FREE!!! We just found out about this deal at our store meeting the other night! I'm just bummed that employees are not eligible!! Also, as an added treat, the first few people in line will get a FREE guitar to go with the game! So cool!
I get to work at 3am on Black Friday so I'm sure I'll be the one out in front of our store putting on those wristbands!! :) ]]> The Office: Budgeting and Reward Programs 5SOXFNZ http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/office-budgeting-reward-programs/208947-black-friday-deal-old-navy-lego-rock-band-free.html http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/office-budgeting-reward-programs/208916-target-com-has-10-00-pre-order-dvds.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:41:31 GMT These DVD's are available for pre-order at $9.99 and FREE SHIPPING on Target.com

His focus was on how we manage the 90% of our money that we still have after tithing to the church.

When he talked about saving up for our dreams, he showed us a tool that he uses and that is available free on his website. For whatever he's saving for, he divides the price by the number of squares in the picture, then colors in a square each time he's saved that little bit of money towards the goal. This is something you can put on your refrigerator and involve the whole family in.

He had one for saving for Disney World, so I thought I'd share it. Here's the link to it on his website.

Last month, I finally called about a $9.95 charge I had been seeing and assumed was one of the kids buying something they shouldn't. It turned out it wasn't but a text that periodically came to my phone and I had most of my money refunded.

I switched to bundled cable and phone and knew I would have a high bill. When I looked carefully, I was charged for the same thing three time-That toook $35.00 off my bill.

I think I'll take a few minutes and examine all my bills now.
