Straight Talk cuts your cell phone bill in half

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Pretty soon, the holiday season will be upon us. Can you believe that? First, Thanksgiving and then Christmas and that means the shopping will have to start soon. I haven’t even made out my list yet. Guess I’m going to miss the early boat this year.

The perfect place to start saving up is with The power of Android which is a smart plan that not only gives me a smartphone of my choice but all the funky features, apps and games in the package. With no contract, no hidden costs and no activation or termination fees, I can understand why they say you will Feel Richer with Android.

By switching to Straight Talk, you are effectively cutting your my phone bill in half. Hello?? I couldn’t believe it either but I just can’t say no to this kind of savings. I’d be foolish to because hey, that shopping money is going to come in really handy!

With the holidays just around the corner, I’m going to be calling friends and relatives far and near, and Straight Talk has some seriously low rates on international calls to a whole list of countries. You can find out a lot more about this promo here.

Batteries gone flat – again?

We’re a family of electric toothbrush users. We love the whirring and the feeling of electronic clean. But when it comes time to change the batteries, we’re really so lazy about it. We practically have to drag ourselves to sift through our notoriously crazy box of batteries of AA, AAA, rechargeable and psp batteries to find the right ones.

And a lot of times, we’re out of stock. I’m a chronic stockist as everyone knows by now and yet there are things I miss restocking. And those are usually the things we can’t do without . Holding up a battery-less toothbrush isn’t exactly my idea of how to start a day right.

A phone plan packed with features that save you money

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Net10 for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you use your cell phone as much as do, you will want to look around and find a phone plan that offers  great features and saves you the most money.

Have you ever heard of Net10 Unlimited? I’ve found out that it not only offers nationwide coverage but also low rates on international calls to over 75 countries. This is great for keeping up with friends and family living in other parts of the world. The Real NET10 customer is typically satisfied with the good reception that comes with unlimited talk time, text and data.

But what really helps you save money is that you can start with one plan and switch to another plan when your needs change. For instance, you may have 10 Good Reasons for changing plans and since there are no penalty charges, this works out great!

The Easy Minutes Plus plan starts from as low as $15 for 200 minutes and the Pay-As-You-Go plan allows you to carry over your leftover time to another plan and the Unlimited Minutes Plan gives you unlimited calls, text and data.

If you’re like me, you will really appreciate that there are no contracts to sign, no credit checks and no surprises when the bill comes. Go check out the Cute NET10 commercial now and decide for yourself.

Running with cars

Like many little boys, my son was a big car enthusiast when he was little. He had a whole fleet of toy cars in his collection that he would spend his afternoons arranging and rearranging and sending them off on pretend races.

When he got a little older, we bought him a remote control car for his birthday. He was overjoyed. We’d take him to the park so he could run it. And now that summer is here and I’m seeing kids with their rc trucks at the park, I’m reminded of the good times.

Cell phone on the blink

My PDA phone has been acting up lately. Looks like I may soon be in the market for a new cell phone. To be quite honest, I don’t quite know what’s out there since technology moves so fast and it’s impossible to really keep up.

I just want a simple cell phone. I may regret saying this later but anything that allows me to make and receive calls is enough for me. But I’d probably end up buying something a bit more fancy like maybe the htc which I hear is pretty good.
