Let’s talk about cell phones.
My 2-year contract with Verizon ends in May. Right now I pay $40 for 450 minutes and another $5 for texting. Add in fees, etc. and an employer discount and I’m paying around $47 per month.
$47 isn’t bad, but I don’t talk that much on my phone. I mostly only use it for texting, which is why I’ve been thinking about trying a pay-as-you-go plan.
My questions to you:

Mother's Day is coming up!
For a limited time, you can download “Sing My Lonesome Away” by Matt Wertz from Amazon for free.
I think I’ve talked about Matt here before, but just in case, he’s pretty cool.
Amazon has a couple nice Sharon Jones deals:
Back in February, Amazon offered for 1-day only Metric’s “Fantasies” for $2.99. Someone over at Amazon must be an Emily Haines fan because they’ve made Metric their daily deal album again.
Today it’s “Live It Out” for $3.99. I don’t own any Metric albums (aside from the awesome mix that my friend Anika made), but I will today! Also, I saw Metric a few weeks ago, and they are super good.
Today’s Amazon mp3 deal is Patty Griffin’s “1000 Kisses” for only $3.99.
I like Patty Griffin, but I don’t have any of her albums. Must do something about this. Also, I used to frequently have a bus driver in the afternoon who reminded me of Patty Griffin. Maybe it was just her red hair. It’s not like she sang to us while she was driving. Although if she sounded like Patty, I would have gladly listened. That bus driver is on my short list of favorite bus drivers, along with the driver who confided in me that she’s NOT a cyborg, and bus driver who keeps iced cinnamon rolls in that locked compartment by the door and gives them to his friends.
Oh, Metro drivers. Anyway, Patty Griffin…
For a limited time, you can download “Beat the Devil’s Tattoo” by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (one of my favorite kick ass band names) for free from Amazon.
[cue lame joke about beating the devil and Easter]
Have a good holiday weekend!
Today’s daily deal at Amazon is “Four Thieves Gone” by the Avett Brothers – 17 songs for $3.99.
Express – Select items are now priced at 40% off, and you can also save an additional $15 off for every $60 spent with coupon code 4199. Expires April 5.

Happy shopping!
Are you: a) a dude, or b) someone who shops for a dude?
If you answered yes to a or b, click to get a free sample of Dove Men+Care Clean Comfort Body and Face Wash.
Body and face wash all in one, people. Apparently men have far better things to do with their time than take an extra minute to use one product for their face and another product for everything else.
I’m expecting a face wash/body wash/shampoo/conditioner/shaving cream/toothpaste combo to hit shelves any day now.
Take 20% off sitewide at Payless by using coupon codes 32586 or 32219.
Shipping starts at $5.95, but you can also choose free site-to-store. Plus, orders over $50 qualify for free shipping. The codes expire April 4.
Did you know that checking your credit score doesn’t lower it? I’ve always heard that and assumed it was true. Thank you, Mint blog, for setting me straight. Check out Credit Scores – Urban Myths Busted! for more credit score truthiness.
Record Store Day is April 17! Click here to find stores in your area that are celebrating the day with sales, special releases, performances, and more!
Here in Seattle, Record Store Day is pretty popular, since music is a big deal, but I’d imagine lots of stores across the country are participating too.
It’s the first of the month, and therefore time for a new batch of $5 mp3 albums from Amazon. April deals include The Shins, Radiohead, Of Montreal, the new Shout Out Louds album, Fruit Bats, Ra Ra Riot, and more.
