Thee Parking Spot at LAX June 7, 2009
Posted by yp2m in Car, Travel, coupons.add a comment
I used to be a frequent flyer but lately, I really dread air travel. I’m becoming more and more like my friend Kirk who is scared of heights and don’t like flying. I braved it this weekend and flew home. After coming off on the 405, I was heading towards the Westin hotel where I normally park my car. I dreaded parking my new vehicle in the dark and glooming parkade in the back. The parking spots are cramped and surely, your car will be damaged by an uncaring driver who will park next to you and kick the door open.
I chose to park at the Parking Spot on Sepulveda. It’s well lit and very open. If you want to save some dollars, park on the rooftop for the lowest price. If you don’t mind paying a little more, choose the covered parking. And if you’re ok with leaving the keys to valet, you can choose valet service.
Here’s a coupon for you to try out the Parking Spot. There’s two locations to choose from, one on Sepulveda and the other on Century. You can’t miss their shuttle buses – yellow with black spots all over it.

Sorry for not writing but I’ve been on the road heading south to Los Angeles where I currently hang out. First of, I am going to share a promo code with one of you who wants to redeem a free $15 gift card at Dale and Thomas popcorn. Just enter the following code Z5110 P3E9 1788 0384 and enjoy the gift.
Since my last post, I have visited so many restaurants with gift certificates bought from Restaurant.com. If you want to save 60% off, do so today by using the code: BONUS. It expires Sunday night a minute before midnight.
When I left for the US, I was asked to pick up a golf gps for my wife’s cousin. He wanted the SkyCaddie for under $200. I almost picked one up for him at Costco for $144. It was the SG4 model that originally sold for more than $200. With the SkyCaddie, you have to pay for an annual membership fee. Depending on your downloading habits, you either pay for a membership that allows you to download courses in your state or by paying more, you can download within your country. If you want worldwide, you pay an ultimate price.
I bought myself a SonoCaddie and pay a one-time cost of $29.95 for unlimited downloads. My V100 model can hold up to 10 course profiles at a time but that suffices. The SonoCaddie sells for $149.99 from RockBottomGolf. Be sure to enter SONOFREESHIP to get it shipped to you for free. (That’s a $7.99 shipping saving)

How often do you go out for dinner? If you live in the US or plan to visit the US, be sure to check out the list of restaurants and deals at Restaurant.com where you can pick up certificates at a substantial discount. For example on my last trip to Palm Springs, I managed to try out a quaint Thai restaurant with a $25 gift certificate that I had purchased for $10. Now you can too by going to Restaurant.com and entering the coupon: EXCLUSIVE. With this coupon, you can buy a $25 gift certificate (valid for any food purchase at a select restaurant) for only $4.
Still hibernating? With Spring around the corner, this may be the time to take advantage of MooseJaw’s incredible up to 50% off North Face. Note that NorthFace offers a lifetime warranty on all of its clothing. Just bring it back to where you purchased it and they will send it back to North Face for repairs. Moosejaw offers free shipping for all orders over $49.
Need a haircut? First Choice Haircutters have a reminder service on their website. Add a reminder and receive a $2 off coupon. Or visit Tylenol and print out a $2 coupon off your next bottle of Tylenol. Fight off a cold by using Cold-FX. Here’s a $2 coupon for your next bottle. And you might as well print this coupon too for $1.50 off an Aveeno Moisturizing lotion.

They say when a recession hits, people flock to movie theatres. With the release of James Bond and the highly anticipated next installment of Harry Potter, I don’t think there will be a lack of people in line. Both Cineplex and Empire theatres offer gift cards that you can pick up from your local drugstore such as Rexall. But if you want to buy discount movie tickets, you will have to buy them from BCAA or AMA (in Alberta) or if you work for a large corporation (eg. Encana), check with your social club for discount tickets. Tickets can go as low as $8 for an adult admission.
For the gadget lovers, try the iTheatre wireless eyewear for $139.95. Plug it into your iPod or dvd player then put on a pair of iTheatre eyewear to enjoy a 50″ virtual viewing screen. 
It almost feels like you are sitting in a theatre with a wraparound screen. It is so cool. You are totally immersed in the picture as though you are right in the movie.
Imagine plugging it into your Wii and playing a game like Mario Kart. I did and I felt like I was on the track with Bowser and Luigi, racing around Sherbet Land in real life. It was bizarre but incredibly fun. With Tiger Woods PGA Tour, I felt I was really playing Pebble Beach. And with Rapala Fishing, I was on the lake, fishing for bass.
If you are interested in getting a pair, I can help you get it for under $120. Check with us for the special coupon code to use.

They say rewards will come to those who wait. If you have been patient and not buy any escape tickets then you are in luck because there’s a special from Calgary to Las Vegas from December 14-18 for only $375 with taxes. This includes roundtrip air and 4-nights accomodation at Circus, Circus. And talk about the Circus, ticket buyers were snapping up pre-sale tickets to Britney Spears concert in Edmonton last night. She is playing in Edmonton in April and the Pussycat Dolls are the warm up band.
Have you noticed all the Wii consoles on store shelves this year? Last year at the same time, there were none. The one thing you won’t find in any stores is the Wii balance board. If you want one, I recommend that you go to our site and click on eCost. Under the Bargain Countdown, look for the Outrageous icon before midnight tonight. If you see it, click on one to buy because you get it for a ridiculous price, at only $49.

Everybody is going to budget-minded this Christmas. And talk about Budget, be sure to use BCD code U114800 to save on your Christmas rental. In Vancouver, you can rent a economy/compact car for only $45 for a 3-day rental from December 16th to 19th. I’ve been shopping and comparing with Thrifty’s using the code: LM78 and it comes close. Remember, the trick is picking up the car from a non-airport location to save on airport taxes. In Vancouver, the tax is well over 17% which cancels out alot of promo code rates.
Alot of people are going to strap down their budget and shop for themselves. If you are looking to stock your house, perhaps your new renovated basement with a home theatre, spa or home office, here’s a free visitor’s pass to DirectBuy. We’ve seen the ads on tv where they say you can save up to 50% off all your home remodelling and fixtures.
And if you have golfers on your Christmas list, check out all the golf shirts and windshirts by Antigua and Oakley at savings up to 75% off at Knetgolf. To take advantage of this special, be sure to use the coupon code: SHIRT.
Free Jabra Bluetooth Headset November 28, 2008

Since getting my Plantronics 520 bluetooth headset, I’ve noticed less headaches when I talk on my cellphone. Also I find it a lot safer while driving to and from work. If you know someone who talks on their cellphone a lot during their drive then do them a favor and get them a headset.
I’ll even give you a coupon code: 5313492125470476 to use at Staples to get a free Jabra headset. Use this coupon when you purchase more than $150 worth of office supplies, school supplies, a new computer or inkjet printer cartridges. Whatever you buy, just make sure you total more than $150 to get your free headset.
My Plantronics 520 is ideal for people on the go. Just plug in the charger and it can be used for days on standby. When a call comes in, you simply push the button on the headset to answer. To sign off, you press the same button. It’s an intelligent button, as you turn the unit on/off, volume up/down and send/receive. I use it with a Motorola RAZR but other phones work with it too.
If you don’t need office supplies to get your free Jabra headset, get a Plantronics 520 noise-cancelling headset for under $50 from eCost.
Test Drive a Book November 28, 2008

Have you been to an Indigo store lately? I remember when a Chapters store opened for the first time in Canada, it was great sitting down with a cup of coffee and a magazine and browsing through it. Nowadays, you can sit down with a coffee but you cannot hold onto unpaid merchandise such as magazines. Indigo stores still provide the odd chair at the end of aisles where people can sit down and review a book. With technical reference books, it is hard to pick one up, quickly review it then pay over $60 for it.
The technical section, especially where the computer books are located, have been trimmed down. This section used to be very popular with books ranging from a relational database to a learning how to program Excel. I used to frequent this section and spend hundreds of dollars for technical books that I would use for work.
If you happen to like a Safari title, here’s a trick you can use to test drive a book. Safari allows you to review a book for 45 days. After that, you can buy it for up to 35% off. Simply look at the last few pages in a Safari book for a coupon code then go to Safari Online and register. It’s free to register and once you do, you can redeem the coupon. This is great for all you techies because it’s hard to invest $60+ for a book that you may not like.
Here’s a few coupon codes that you can start with:
- Windows Vista : HLNVHXA
- Programming Flex 3: QYFKIXA
Technical
