Friday....... last Friday of June, 2012..... The long weekend is upon us. I'm not sure if I am working on Monday or not. Will have to check when I go to work (or in my case, play) today. So I'm sitting at my computer, waiting for 8:30 am (B.C. time) to roll around. I've got to make a call to Patrick's university and find out about two courses he didn't get registered in. I really did try to take care of the problem on line, but my lack on knowing what the heck I was doing, forced me to call and ask for help. As I'm waiting, I thought I would check out my fav. website - RedFlagsDeal.com. For those of you who don't follow it, you can find some great deals. For example - On July 11, it is Free Slurpee Day at 7-11. Who doesn't enjoy a free slurpee. And if Slurpee's are a little below your class, then at 2nd Cup, from now until July 29th you can get an Italina Soda for $1.00. And to celebrate Canada Day, at Harvie's, if you wear some piece of red clothing, you can get a free hamburger from June 30th til July 2nd. (buy one get one free thingy) I love Red Flag. I usually go one at the end of each week to see what deals are out there. Some of my better deals from there include my big discount on my train trip last year to Nova Scotia. I would have never found the website that shows you what great deals you can get via train. The most recent deal was my glasses. Now I have seen the Clearly Contacts advertisements for quite awhile now, and I was never convinced you could get a good quality pair of glasses over the internet. Then about a couple of months ago, I watched a 60 minute; 20/20; fifth estate type of program (I believe it was a Canadian program) about why glasses cost so much when you can get them so cheap on line. The LensCrafters and Optical stores could not clarify why they charged so much for glasses, except for the fact that when you add in the fancy dancy brand names, prices go up. Makes sense to me. So I did a little experiment. I need new prescription sun glasses. But I didn't want to pay too much and not get what I really wanted. So Clearly Contacts offers a free pair of glasses (24.99 is as close to free as you get with shipping etc.) I did my research and tried to get a pair as close as possible to what I am wearing now. So at least I would have a back up pair for my everyday glasses. They are really fast and took less than two weeks (although they sat in my house mailbox for another two weeks because - really I don't ever check there) I've been wearing the new glasses and they are great. So now, I'm waiting for another coupon (won't be free but hopefully less expensive than going to a store) and I'll order the same glasses but in sunglass format!!!!! I'll keep you posted on how that turns out.
Ooooooo, I just got an email from Starbucks - $1.00 off a Frappucinno for me and my friend, if bought before July 1st. Another Canada Day special. Too bad I don't do coffee!!!!!
Anyway it's. now 9:30 or 8:30 BC time. I better bite the bullet, call the University and plead my clueless case.
Enjoy the amazing day.
