I recently signed up with a program that pay you to have a meter installed on your wifi modem. They pay a bonus for doing so, as well as registering devices and then more for each month you have it connected. Since doing so, it...

Does anyone do scans of thier purchases?

UtopianIdealist @UtopianIdealist (1604) • United States 17 Apr 16

I have been scanning since around 2012, taking the surveys they have from time to time as well. I earn points, and for every year you stay with them, you get more each week. I make sure to scan at least once a week, but often fail...

The boutiques are very interesting, but when I signed up with them, over a year ago, I was mainly interested in getting some free stuff. It took a little while to get a code for free shipping as well, then I placed my order. For a...

UtopianIdealist @UtopianIdealist (1604) • United States 3 Mar 13

Right after I got into a contract with them, they changed all the rates and I was paying a lot more than what they started advertizing, though they said I was in contract and there was nothing I could do. Moving a lot, we were...

Have you read this book, or parts of it? What did you think? We preordered it, and read the first chapter or so. Here it is, much later, and not much else has been read. Don't get me wrong, what I read was interesting, I just have...

Does anyone else collect hotel soap?

UtopianIdealist @UtopianIdealist (1604) • United States 19 Feb 13

I have been doing so since about 2000. We travel somewhat often, and stay at random hotels in varied areas. I had seen it years ago in a tip on traveling, to snag the unused bar of soap, and I suppose, I just always have. Now, I...

Kale has a lot of amazing benefits. I had heard of it before, but never actually bought it. After my husband insisted we try some, we did. We added it to salad, we sauted it, I even made some amazing omelets with it. I was...

Killer Bee Honey?

UtopianIdealist @UtopianIdealist (1604) • United States 22 Jan 13

While exploring yesterday, we came upon someone offering free samples of honey and honey comb, from killer bees. It did taste like any other honey, but it was strange to think that it was from killer bees. The shop had a lot of...
