It’s always funny to get those class-action law suit emails/letters, because you never knew there was such an issue.

Occasionally you get some benefits. Like that PayPal one where you get a few bucks. The Microsoft one where you get a few more bucks… and apparently now you get free DVD rentals for a month.

Netflix Settlement

I almost forgot I was a member. I joined up awhile back when Netflix just started. Their mailing center at the time was in Santa Ana, which is like a 10 minute drive away from me, so I always get my DVD the next (or sometimes the same) day. Crazy.

Still I never watch enough DVD to warrant the monthly charges, so after my free month I canceled. Check your email to see if you’ll get a free month!

I honestly never liked Black Friday.

Back in high school you’ll have a bunch of female friends calling you up for rides to the mall, only to buy things they don’t need (or can afford). It seems like a really bad excuse to spend money. The season to spend is coming up, and sometimes it really drives me nut how people go wild with buying crap (just so they can give it away to people that don’t use/need them).

That aside, there will be many great deals out there, but I think we all know that buying something on sale, isn’t really saving money unless you were planning to buy it in the first place.
