There are lots of Cyber Monday deals happening all over the web today. Here is an especially great deal that caught our eye from Endless.com, one of our favorite online stores (shoes, handbags, luggage and more):

Rare Up to 33% OFF site-wide savings event at Endless.com: Use promo code CYBERMON to save $30 OFF your $100 order, $60 OFF your $200 order or $100 OFF your $300 or more purchase of women’s, men’s, athletic, and kid’s shoes, handbags or accessories from top name brands like Nike, Bandolino,  Briggs & Riley Luggage, Asics, Lois Hill and 1000s more.

What I Really Like About Endless.com

Endless.com is one of my favorite “go-to” spots to find great discounts on name brand shoes for the family (if you are not familiar with Endless, think DSW multiplied x 1000s, only online).  I love that it’s always tax-free to anywhere in Texas,  I can shop from the comfort of home, and they offer free shipping ~ all adding up to a really nice savings. And, speaking from experience, they carry a great selection of really hard to fit sizes, too!  Plus (LOVE THIS!), if your purchase doesn’t fit or wasn’t quite what you wanted, return shipping is free too!

While we have only shopped their shoes, they also offer great discounted prices on a huge variety of handbags, luggage, sunglasses, watches, jewelery and more.

Go here to get the discount and be sure to use promo code CYBERMON at checkout.  Ends November 28, 2011.

Enjoy and Share! :)

Beware Fake Travel Freebies in Your Email

Posted on November 21, 2011 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share

An advisory worth passing along:

“Just in case you’re tempted, here’s the word on some familiar email scams making the rounds again in new guises.

Delta customers, particularly SkyMiles members, should pay attention to this advisory. The phisher baits the hook with what purports to be an email notification that the receipt for tickets you supposedly purchased is attached to the email. Well, if you haven’t bought tickets, don’t let curiousity get the better of you. Do what Delta says: Don’t click on the attachment. If you do, you’re basically saying, “Hello, virus, come on in.” The Delta advisory makes it clear the airline isn’t the source for these emails, and even recommends changing your SkyMiles PIN and keeping an eye your account.”

5 Smart Phone Apps to Get You Through Thanksgiving Week

Posted on November 18, 2011 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share

As much as we all love getting together with family and friends over a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, the holidays can also be a stressful time – particularly when you have young children and travel is involved. The good news is that, this year, smart phone apps can help you keep everything under control. Our friends at YP.com have helped us put together a list of useful apps to get you through Thanksgiving ~ from recipes to saving money on gas ~ this list of FREE apps will help keep you sane and running on schedule this season:

  • Digital Recipe Sidekick – This free app will help you cook Thanksgiving dinner or create the perfect casserole to bring to your mother-in-law’s. The best thing about it is that it will also read recipes to you, hands-free, step-by-step for those times when your hands are covered in batter or other food! It has a few preloaded recipes, but you can import virtually endless recipes from AllRecipes.com or input your own favorites. It’s like keeping a whole bookshelf of cookbooks in your pocket, for free. Available on Android.  IPhone and IPad alternative: Epicurious .
  •  TripIt – TripIt organizes your travel itinerary so it’s easy to access. After you add a trip, you can see details like airport names and terminals, confirmation code, seat number, estimated length of time for the flight, and contact information for the airline. And, if you booked the flight for other people, their names and ticket numbers are available too.  Available on Android, Blackberry and iPhone.
  • YP – This local resource app has seen a major evolution since its launch. Aside from being a Yellow Pages book in your pocket, it also helps you find best prices on nearby gas stations and grants you access to thousands of coupons from local businesses. So whether you need to fill up on gas on your way to grandma’s, get children’s Motrin for that unexpected fever at 11 pm or find a local event or movie theater, the YP app is a great resource for simple search and easy savings. Available on Android, Blackberry, iPad, iPhone and Palm.
  • Black Friday App – Ready or not, Black Friday is just around the corner! If you’re all about the bricks and mortar/in-store shopping thrills, this free app could save you a lot of time and cash, since it allows you to prepare and browse Black Friday ads on your phone now.  Plus you can save items to your Shopping List, find a store near you and share deals via Twitter, Facebook, and e-mail. Available on Android.
  •  The Crayola app – Keep kids as young as 3 entertained and occupied while you shop or cook with this creative app that simulates Crayola crayons, markers and paints. Available on iPhone and iPad.
