Exciting news! The entire “LOST” DVD collection comes out August 24. You can pre-order for $148.99 (regularly $229.99) at Amazon.

Posted by: cutecheapstuff on: February 1, 2010

This is for Seattle people:
Did you know that The Stranger keeps an event calendar for food? It includes lots of specially priced events and other fun things – like World Nutella Day! Who knew? Some of the events are more on the fancy end of the spectrum but there are some deals thrown in there [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Posted by: cutecheapstuff on: November 26, 2009

It’s been a difficult year. But today is a day to give thanks. We have much to give thanks for, even if current circumstances aren’t ideal.
This morning I flipped on the Hallmark Channel, hoping that “The Golden Girls” may be on, but really expecting to see another Hallmark family classic snooze-fest of a movie. But [...]

Check out Redbox

Posted by: cutecheapstuff on: November 24, 2009

If you haven’t tried Redbox, you are missing out.

Posted by: cutecheapstuff on: October 9, 2009
