So my wife wanted a new extra pair of glasses…but did not want to spend the $200+ her last pair cost. I had read about $39 Dollar Glasses a while back and after perusing their website, I showed it to my wife. They had some good reviews and some mainstream positive reviews, so I figured they must be legit. She was apprehensive of course; I mean, $39 for a pair of glasses? How could this be possible?
As another sign of the decline of the U.S. dollar and to encourage Europeans to come visit us, some stores in New York City are now putting out the “Euros Accepted” signs.
From Reuters:
In the latest example that the U.S. dollar just ain’t what it used to be, some shops in New York City have begun accepting euros and other foreign currency as payment for merchandise. “We had decided that money is money and we’ll take it and just do the exchange whenever we can with our bank,” Robert Chu, owner of East Village Wines, told Reuters television.
If I don’t step foot in another IKEA again for a long time, it still probably will not have been long enough. And that hurts, because I really did like poking around inside their gigantic showrooms. Although I stopped buying furniture there a while ago (because it tends to not last too long), it was a good place to pick up all sorts of knick-knacks for the house.
But no more, not if I can help it.
One of the things that I used to do when I went shopping for electronics was to buy the extended warranties. Since a normal warranty on an electronic device is normally 1 year, buying the extended warranty gives you piece of mind for an additional 2 years or so, right? And it can be yours for only $139.95! No thanks. I stopped doing this years ago after I realized that either A. everything I bought lasted a very long time with no issues or B. I replaced whatever I bought before I would have even finished the extended warranty period!
Well, Christmas is now only 5 days away and you know you have run out of ideas – admit it! Well, consider this one of my good deeds for the year in providing you with 10 different gift ideas all for under $15. This way you can get them something cool while not spending too much money. 
After all, it’s not what you spend but rather what you spend it on!
