Christmas season is over and most folks are simply counting the days until they stop writing "2007" on their checks. The post holiday sales are winding down, decorations are coming down and there is no more Christmas music EVERYWHERE you go.
Now it's time to pay. People will be getting their statements for their credit cards in a week or two and ALL those shopping season charges will come home to roost. That's when the post holiday blues set in.
This season I was virtually done with my Christmas shopping BEFORE Thanksgiving. I did a good chunk of my shopping online and I used my PayPal DEBIT account. When I did venture out to an actual store, I used CASH. NO CREDIT CARDS. It was a very unstressful and enjoyable Christmas for us this year and it will be even better when we aren't out shopping for personal loans in February to pay off our credit cards!
No Christmas Payback
Sleep Like an Angel
I really like to sleep. I don't get the opportunity to sleep as late as I want often-maybe 4 times a year-but when I do I sleep until noon. A comfy bed is important for a good sleep. My bed is comfy, but I have wanted a Tempurpedic mattress for a long time.
A Tempurpedic mattress is quite possibly the most comfortable thing I have ever slept on. I slept on one twice, at a rental we had once. It was like heaven. Best sleep I ever had.
I had been wanting to try one since I first tried one out about 12 years ago. The mall store, Brookstone, carries them and I remember laying down on one in the store for like twenty minutes. The sales people were a little agitated, but I managed to have quite a nap! The reason I have yet to purchase one is the price. You'll spend over FIVE GRAND on a Tempurpedic mattress in a traditional furniture store. That's a lot of hot dogs!
Now I may actually be able to drop the dime on a Tempurpedic mattress. Angel Beds has the same NASA foam technology in their mattresses as a Tempurpedic mattress for less than half the price of a Tempurpedic mattress. They're a solid company too. They are one of the top 500 internet retailers several years running and an Inc. 500 company too. They'll even arrange to have your bed set up for you!
Everyone knows I HATE shopping. Buying online has become almost a religious experience for me. Now that I know I can get a Tempurpedic mattress online, I may be doing a LOT MORE SLEEPING!
An Abt Title
If you can't stand schlepping from store to store to find the best deal on computers, electronics and appliances, you need to do your shopping online! Why drive all over town looking to save a few bucks on an air purifier ionizer when you can get a great deal in a few clicks at Abt Electronics.
Abt has just about anything you need for your home from dishwashers to cell phones, HDTV's to espresso machines and everything in between. Their prices are good and when you consider you won't be wasting a lot of time or gas running around looking for appliances or electronics, you'll save money. Did I mention they offer FREE SHIPPING?
I swear, the internet was invented for the male shopper. Guys hate shopping for shopping's sake. Being able to point, click and buy has got to be the best thing for the male psyche since sex was invented!
I have been on a continuing quest to not shop in a store ever again and companies like Abt Electronics are making it easier for me every day!
Reclining while Shopping
I hate shopping. I only go to the store to buy stuff when I absolutely have to. Most stores in our area are stocked with nitwit teenagers who don't even know how to make change, let alone offer solid advice on what I am looking to purchase. I am on a continuing quest to never have to go to a store to buy anything (except food) whether it's a computer or a leather recliner.
I found an awesome leather recliner at Wholesale Furniture Brokers. Nothing could be more appropriate than shopping for a leather recliner from your leather recliner! There is a large selection of leather recliners and the prices are excellent too. You should check it out.
Who in their right mind shops for furniture online? I say who wouldn't. You can keep your stores in crowded shopping plazas with the traffic and the parking. Give me my laptop and my leather recliner and I'll never go to a furniture store again.
