I’m about to break a myth. You and I know that there’s no free lunch, however every so often, we stumble on something that confuses us. We think we know better but do we? Someone offers you a free sample and as much as you want to reach out and take it, you pull back cautiously.
However, this is a deal you don’t want to pass up. Do you want to get 2 dozen golf balls free? Sure you do. What’s the catch? You simply have to buy something. Yeh, before you shut my post down and move on, you have to hear me out. I know you have heard this before BUT you don’t have to spend alot of money. Can you afford 2 dollars?
Ok, so you don’t need a set of knit headcovers but for $1.99 for a 3 pack – give it away for Christmas. Can’t you use a set of 4 Datrek Ladies’ Driver covers? Don’t know 4 ladies you can give it to for stocking stuffers? How about paying $1.99 for all 4 covers? If you don’t mind looking, you can find something useful and less than $2.
To get your 2 dozen golf balls, click on the ‘RockbottomGolf’ banner on your right and look up the 2 dozen Caveman golf balls and add it to your cart. Then add your purchase. When you checkout, scroll down and in the coupon box, enter the word ‘CavemanBalls’ and the Apply button. You will get a credit of $19.98 which will deduct the cost of the balls in your cart.
Example: For $8.98, I am going to get a set of 3 knit headcovers along with 2 dozen golf balls shipped.
Stocks are down but you’re not August 18, 2009

Today’s stock market was down because there is no consumer confidence on spending. Hmmm, I guess it doesn’t include me as I have been shopping online since January. I think this is a buyer’s market. Everyone in the right mind is saving their money except moi who is buying up things – anything that is a good deal!
Today I bought myself a pair of shoes and bought my wife one too. Have you ever heard about Teva? If you shop at REI or some mountain store, you will most likely see brands like Merrell, Keen and Teva. Like all these recreational shoes, Teva can be quite pricey. But I did say this is a buyer’s market so here’s the deal. Click here and take a look at what is on sale at Teva. Believe it or not, they are selling some cool shoes as low as $19.90.
Shipping is $5.95 per shoe but if you sign up to receive their emails, they will send you a code that you can use (instantly) to get free shipping.

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.

When it comes to running a small business, either from home or in an office, it is vital that you fully stock your business with supplies. I’ve shared a Staples $20 off coupon with you before but it comes with a $150 minimum purchase. It’s not hard to rack up the bill, especially if your business needs a new external hard drive or a new printer. Even school supplies can easily make up for the $150 minimum. Here’s the coupon anyways: 5991592125470472. Use it online or by phone.
Any of you planning a Walt Disney World vacation? If so and you are planning to stay onsite at one of the WDW resorts then get free shuttle service from Orlando airport to your Disney resort. This is called the Disney Magical Express and is available to guests staying at all the WDW resort hotels. To get this service, simply ask for it by name when reserving your WDW vacation. Reservations made prior to 30 days from departure will get special luggage tags sent to you. Disney will automatically transfer your luggage from the airport to the resort.
While in Florida, rent a mid-size SUV from Dollar for only $37.99 per day. Or in Tampa, get a mid-size SUV for only $169.00 per week from Alamo.
Mini and Free Software January 7, 2009

If I was in the market for a small, compact notebook computer to carry around on my travels, I would choose the HP Mini 1010NR Atom Notebook. With its built-in 802.11b/g, I can connect to the internet via a hotspot or wi-fi connection. It has a full-size keyboard and a 8.9 inch display, not to shabby for a quick email on the road or to watch a dvd movie on a plane. The best thing when travelling is its weight. Coming in at 2.23 pounds, the HP Mini is perfect for school and for carrying around. Its small footprint runs at 1.66 GHz and has a 8GB hard drive. At eCost, you can pick one up for $406.99.
These days, memory is cheap. You can get 1 terrabyte external hard drives for under $120. What’s not cheap is software. Microsoft Office is roughly $110 to $170, depending on if you are a student or not. With Microsoft Office, you have a word processor, spreadsheet and a presentation tool. The good thing about MS Office is that you can run it on a Windows PC or on a Mac. The bad thing is that you cannot readily share documents created in MS Office with your friends unless they have MS Office. Until now…
Check out ZOHO. On this website, you have access to a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation tool, email, public repository, notebook taker, planner, database application, web conferencing, report writer, human resource tracker and more. The price? For an individual, it’s free. For a business, fees will vary but compare that to multi-user or site licences and you will find ZOHO to be competitively priced. The nice thing about ZOHO is that you don’t need to install anything on your PC and you don’t need to worry about upgrading the software which usually results to compatibility issues or increased costs.
Decluttering Shoes January 5, 2009

One of my new year’s resolution is to get organized. In the days to come, I will be sharing with you, excerpts or lessons learned from reading a book on ‘decluttering’. Today, I started with my collection of shoes. According to the book, the best way to go through your shoe collection is to try them on. I found at least 10 pairs of shoes that no longer fit me. Instead of tossing them out, I will donate them to charity. If you are interested in donating running shoes, check out this link and choose a worthy organization to donate your used running shoes to. For other type of shoes, the Salvation Army or Goodwill will take your old shoes off you.
Talking about shoes, I dropped in to the Las Vegas Premium Outlets over the Christmas week. I had to try on the golf shoes at Ecco to see what the hype was. All the guys at Golf Town wear Ecco shoes and recommends them so I had to find out for myself whether they were worth the money or not. They were comfortable but I couldn’t get myself to pay more than $150 for a pair, even at outlet prices. Instead, I would choose a pair of Nike or Adidas shoes for comfort and value. From now to January 15th, click on the green banner on our site for “more than golf balls” and enter WINTERSALE as the promo code to save additional money.

Dollar Stores for Stocking Stuffers December 16, 2008

My feet is cold today and it doesn’t matter how thick my wool socks are. I hear it’s cold and snowy out in Vancouver, not the warm and sunny location that I have fixated in my head. Alright, as long as there is a compact car waiting for me at the airport tonight, I will be pleased that I did my homework and booked the best rate on the internet. Btw, I used LM78 at Thrifty’s and it did not work for me this time. However, it did work for me for my Vegas trip later this month because I managed to book a compact car for only $10 a day. What a deal! However, tonight is with Alamo and I used my corporate id # 675899 to get a 4-day rental for only $65 including taxes and all.
Have you been shopping at the dollar stores lately? I did and I managed to find a few stocking stuffers including the stocking itself for a buck. I don’t recommend buying your spouse’s Christmas gift there but for your pet, your neighbor’s cat or the odd stocking stuffer then go for it. Dollar Giant or MegaDollar stores seem to have the best stock of things.
Here are my picks today:
1. Travelling Buddies – I picked up a few items for friends that travel alot. They include luggage tags, luggage locks, inflatable pillows to wear around your neck, over the neck safety wallets, L.E.D. flashlights, calculators to help with currency exchange and bubble envelopes for my friends to send gifts to me from abroad.
2. Pets – I found a few interesting things such as frisbees, bones to gnaw on, toys for cats, costumes for Christmas including Santa outfits, reindeer antlers and pet treats.
3. Household items – There are alot to choose from but my picks include extra rubbermaid containers for leftovers, funny mugs and laser engraved crystals.
4. Toys – Look for puzzles or card games.
5. iPod – Everyone has iPods and they love their accessories. Most dollar stores have a nice variety of accessories such as cases, earbuds, faceplates, stick-ons, purses, etc.
