Know someone who needs a new iPhone, iPad, or MacBook cover?  Today, we have an exclusive deal for our Frugal in Fort Worth friends ~ Go here to get a coupon for 20% OFF your entire order at Incase’s online store.  Hurry, as this is only valid through the end of the day, Tuesday, June 19. 

By the way, we did a little comparison shopping (as always), and this coupon will save you 20% off the price of the same Incase items sold in the Apple Store.  Love that! :)

Worth Noting: FTC Charges Telemarketers with Illegal Robocalling

Posted on December 20, 2011 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share
  

I was just talking with a friend about the abundance of fake/scam phone calls that have filled their voice mailbox in recent weeks. If this is happening to you as well, you might take comfort in knowing that today, the Federal Trade Commission announced it is filing legal action against several telemarketers.

These firms have made pre-recorded sales pitches to phone numbers registered on the U.S. National Do Not Call list and disguising the Caller ID of these “robocalls” with inaccurate names.

The FTC alleges that automated sales calls pitching credit card debt reduction programs, extended car warranties, and home security systems violated the U.S.’s Telemarketing Sales Rule by disguising the Caller ID of such automated sales pitches with inaccurate names such as “card services” or “private office.”

Making such automated, pre-recorded sales calls to consumers without their written consent violates FTC rules.  Hopefully the FTC actions will help end or at least cut down on the number of these calls.

Go here to read the original announcement from the FTC .

GREAT NEWS! Starbucks to Offer FREE Wireless, Starting July 1!

Posted on June 15, 2010 | 1 comment

                                

Beginning July 1, 2010, Starbucks will begin offering FREE
Wi-Fi  at all U.S. company operated Starbucks stores!  Love this!  

Other good news from Starbuck’s press release:  

Building on the Wi-Fi update, CEO Howard Schultz also
revealed plans for a new online customer experience called
the Starbucks Digital Network, in partnership with Yahoo!,
which will debut later this fall.   

This online experience – available only in U.S. company
operated Starbucks stores – will be unique in its content
offerings, allowing customers free unrestricted access to
various paid sites and services such as wsj.com, exclusive
content and previews, free downloads, local community
news and activities, on their laptops, tablets or smart phones.   

Kudos to Starbucks for updating their current paid service
and making it FREE!   

The only downfall is this fuels my summertime addiction to Starbucks’
Sugar-Free Hazlenut/Soy Milk/ Lite Base/Coffee Frappuccinos (yes. I know.
I’m one of THOSE people. It’s embarassing! ). I  would love to
learn how to make these at home (any tips are greatly appreciated).  

   

Enjoy and Share! :)

Save $360 A Year On Your Wireless AT&T or Verizon Plan (For Current & New Users)

Posted on January 25, 2010 | Leave a comment

Good news ~ you might be able to save $360/year on your cell bill!

A wireless plan  price war has started between Verizon and AT&T, and both
companies  have reduced the price of their popular unlimited voice plans
by $30/month to just $69.99/month.

While this is being advertised to new customers, current customers can get
the same savings ($360 a year or $30/month), without extending the
contract!

Details, details
How: All you have to do is simply call and ask for your discount!

  • For AT&T ~ Call 1-800-331-0500 (or 611 from your cell phone) and
    ask to have your monthly cost for the Unlimited Cell Phone Plan
    reduced to $69.99.
  • For Verizon ~ Call 1-800-922-0204 and ask to receive the NEW
    Nationwide Unlimited Talk Plan     for $69.99.

When: The offers are for a limited time. It is unclear how long these plans
will be this low, so be sure to call and ask for a discount now.

Thanks, Michael Finney for this tip!

Enjoy! :)
