From November 20 to December 3 buy $125 or more in select gift cards, and receive a $15 coupon for your next purchase of $25 or more at Shaw’s and ACME grocery stores Earn points, miles or cash back by using your favorite rewards credit cards when you buy gift cards everyday.

Even if you don’t like to give gift cards as gifts, think of it this way. You could buy the gift cards to get the gifts you’re gonna buy anyway. So if you were going to get your daughter an ipod you could buy an Amazon gift card then use the amazon gift card to get the iPod on Amazon. If you know your son wants a specific video game and you know GameStop has it, you can buy the Gamestop gift card then buy his game.

Another idea, say you buy someone a set of headphones for their iPod/iPad. You could get an iTunes gift card to go along with it. If you buy your son that game you could get him an Xbox live gift card to go with it. Get the idea?

When buying the gift cards, use your favorite credit card to get double dip savings:

Earn Credit Card Rewards: By using your favorite rewards credit card to purchase,

you can earn points, miles or a percentage back on your purchase. Some credit cards

even offer increased rewards for purchases made at grocery. For example,

awhopping 6% cash back! Capital One

QuicksilverOne®, AMEX EveryDay® and Citi® Hilton HHonors credit cards also offer increased rewards for grocery purchases.

Learn with Orkin: Pest Control

I don’t know about you but I’m not a fan of the creepy crawlies. Especially when they’re in my house. Anything I learn to help prevent that from happening is always ok in my book. I personally have these nightmarish looking “house centipedes” in my basement. We have a toilet in our basement and sometimes it gets it’s use, actually quite frequently. Well the one day I’m sitting there in my bare feet and I feel something bounce off my feet and shoot out from the toilet stall. It was super fast but it stopped for a second, as if to mock me. It was an ugly nasty house centipede. Good thing I was already on the toilet, that’s all I have to say! Another time I was doing laundry and a huge one of these things was sitting on top of the pile of dirty clothes I was about to wash and I darn near had a heart attack.

house centipede — THIS! THIS nasty thing hit my barefoot!

Are you a fan of the Vampire Diaries or The Originals? Maybe both? I got some cool stuff here just for you. If you haven’t watched the shows, here’s a bit about the newest seasons available on Bluray + DVD

About The Vampire Diaries The Complete Sixth Season

The Vampire Diaries continues its sixth season with more delicious drama to sink your teeth into. In season five, after a passionate summer with Damon, Elena headed to Whitmore College with Caroline, not knowing Bonnie sacrificed her life for Jeremy’s. Meanwhile, Stefan and Caroline’s friendship deepened as they stood up to the Travelers, a nomadic witch tribe driven to strip Mystic Falls of magic and cast out its supernatural residents. In the shocking season finale, Damon, fearing he would lose his loved ones on the crumbling Other Side, made a huge sacrifice to bring them all back — with catastrophic and heartbreaking results. Season six follows the characters’ journey back to each other as they explore the duality of good versus evil inside themselves. Matt Davis reprises his role as Alaric Saltzman, recently returned from The Other Side. Plus, the season will make you misty-eyed as the departure of a major character will turn lives upside down and leave us asking what happened to Mystic Falls.

About The Originals The Complete Second Season

As Original vampire-werewolf hybrid Klaus Mikaelson returned to the vibrant, supernaturally charged city of New Orleans in season one, he was stunned to learn — along with his siblings Elijah and Rebekah — that Hayley, a werewolf, was pregnant with his child, and his vampire protégé, Marcel, whom the Original siblings had thought long dead, was ruling the French Quarter. Soon, a bloody war escalated between vampires and witches — the stakes raised by powerful teenage witch Davina and by Klaus’s bond with Cami, a student with a painful past — and a ruthless pack of wolves seized the opportunity to stage a violent coup. Now, in season two, a new status quo must be adjusted to, as the newly empowered werewolves control the city. Klaus struggles with weaknesses as Elijah desperately tries to save Hayley — now a hybrid — from a vicious spiral of self-destruction. Meanwhile, with the re-emergence of several Mikaelsons, “family is power” takes on new meaning.
