Deal of the Day!

Best Deal of the Day

I know it's not Easter anymore, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy Cadbury eggs! During a trip to Target, I found these:

Target: Cadbury Eggs for 7 cents! 90 Percent Off

Note: there was no sign of their original price or sale price, only a 90 percent off sign near the candy aisle.

I love Cadbury eggs! I only bought six for 42 cents two nights ago, but I stocked up again at a different Target last night and bought:

35 for $2.45 + tax.

No coupon, no clipping, just savings!





Check out your local Target and see if they have the Cadbury Eggs (and other Easter candy items) for huge markdowns.

Sallie Mae - The WORST Lender Ever!

I know this blog is primarily for product reviews and giveaways, but I wanted to share an honest review of a company by the name of Sallie Mae. Back in college, I signed up for private student loans with Sallie Mae and I have had the rudest, most disrespectful experiences with them! Out of the seven years that I have been paying them back, I have contacted customer service three times. I avoid dealing with their customer service at all costs! 

Each time has been worse than the last. I have had it up to here with customer service reps who think they have the right to disrespect hard-working Americans who are responsible and make loan payments every month. I very rarely contact them, and when I do I hate it! I don't understand these Sallie Mae reps! If you hate your job that much, quit and go work at McDonald's! Actually, don't, because I've had far better service from the hard workers at McDonald's!

I never once gave them an attitude when I spoke with them. I have never raised my voice or did anything to warrant such a negative experience. Today I called to ask why there was a late payment notice on my account, when my last payment exceeded the minimum payment. Here is the guy's response: "I don't know how you thought you could get away with trying to pay more when you paid less." What?? You managed to insult me by accusing me of something, and not answer my question at the same time!

Sallie Mae, you are one of the worst companies in the world. For all you college students out there, please know that Sallie Mae will treat you like dirt even if you pay your bill every month and on time. I am so tired of poor service from this company and will never recommend them to anyone! This is the final straw. I don't care if I break my bones to pay you back, I will triple my monthly payments to lessen the interest I have to pay you. 

I will cut corners with coupons, live off canned soup, and make the 99 cent store my one stop shop until I pay you back. But, by the time I'm done paying you back I'm sure you will not let me off the hook that easily. If it's one thing you can count on with this company, it's piss-poor service.

Coach Purse Giveaway! Happy Birthday Madame Deals!

Do you dream of designer bags? I do. I love them and for Madame Deals' 3rd Birthday I decided to give one away with a couple of my friends.

I would like to thank my friends Dawn at Slop Swap and Heather at Body Wrap Tips for helping me put this all together.

If you know anything about me, I am a huge advocate for people with Autism so it is only fitting that this event is also brought to you by Autism United.

Pinecone Research: Brief Review

I have been a member of Pinecone research for the past 8 months and I am incredibly amazed at the way they operate. Other survey companies have left me feeling as though I have wasted my time, especially when there is a survey error and I don't receive payment.

Pinecone research pays you within 1-2 weeks via check after survey completion for every survey. You are paid within 1 day via Paypal. No waiting to reach a certain threshold amount before cashing out, and no waiting 8-10 weeks for payment. Take a survey, get paid $3 for each survey. That's it, and you get to influence new products and developments along the way.

Pinecone is not so easy to sign up for, as they are selective depending on what populations they need. However, once you can get in, you receive several surveys per month.

Today, they made my day. They sent me a GIGANTIC product for testing. It was incredible! I can't mention anything due to the confidential nature of product testing, but Pinecone is definitely one of my favorite survey sites now.

I wanted to share with you since I know there are many survey takers out there. Give Pinecone Research a try. Also, I would recommend you carefully read reviews and postings on surveypolice.com which lists the top 10 survey sites, along with reviews for which ones to stay away from. Have you signed up for Pinecone research, and if so, do you enjoy it?

What has been  your worst experience with survey companies?
