All I know is, I put a full bowl of premium candy on the porch and it was gone in 2hrs.

2hrs ain't bad, I left the bowl unattended to relieve myself and when I got back it was empty.

2 hours is a long time. That'd be about the entire t or t window, as kids stopped here around 7:30. There was a house in our neighborhood that put a bowl on the porch, and it was empty we get to it (5:30). My thought was that they just put an empty bowl out there.

Heh, I was viewing said bowl from next door- having some beerz with the neighbor...running over to check on it intermittently. For the most part, I think the kiddies were honest (probably the one's with parental supervision) but one of the later stopper-by's pulled some db-ery and took it all.

We always go to my parents, as they decorate the yard. This year was the fewest kids, they only had 95.

I don't think a rich neighborhood... just not a bad one, at the moment, I guess. There are a lot of "young" family here. Hope it stays that way for awhile. :lol:

"Rewards" cards/programs, that are more of a PIA than they are worth. Always having to enter this number, or swipe that card, for minimal savings.

Shell's gas rewards thing drives me crazy, I have to swipe their card, swipe mine, enter my zip and hit 'yes' on at least 3 other questions before i can get my f'ing gas. + their screens are so low i have to stoop down to read it. Why can't i swipe my cc and get my gas without the hassle.

I totally concur. Getting gas these days is such the procedure..

Funny enough, mrs. tut just purchased one of those HS discount card thingeys, fuuuu

Some of them are definitely more trouble than they are worth, but some of them, like Best Buy, are totally worth it because all you have to do is give them your phone number (actually most stores can do that these days) when you're checking out. Very little hassle and I've gotten over $50 back this year from Rewards certificates from Best Buy.

Agreed. I love my rewardzone card. The card and the gamer club deal are the reasons I stopped buying my games from gamestop. I get double points on all gaming related purchases. I usually end up getting 1-2 games free a year from the certificates I get. I'm talking brand new $60 games. There are also the deals on used games plus a extra %10 off used.

Only problem I have though is that I have not been getting the mailers with coupons in them for a while. It's a mystery to me. Would have been nice to have a %10-20 off coupon when I ordered my laptop last week.

+1

BB RZ card is great. I use the Mastercard for reg purchases too, just to get points. They also go towards the Premier Silver total spending amount, even though the purchases aren't at BB. I buy all kinds of stuff from them each year with points.

Yeah I stopped buying from Gamestop too... in part because they have no price-match policy, poor return policy and some horrible customer service.

For something that actually grinds my gears.... WEATHER reports that are horribly off. I feel like I was deprived of my Motorcycle today because of all the "snow" we were supposed to get.
