Celebrating a Celebridemic?

Posted by kim on June 30, 2009

Many people believe the “people die in three’s” theory, and there certainly has been a Celebridemic going on with two sets of three celebrities dying within the last week. In case you have been trapped in a closet and aren’t up to par on the news, here’s who everyone is grieving…

Ed McMahon - Most notorious for being Johnny Carson’s sidekick on The Tonight Show, his last gig was the Cash4Gold.com commercial that aired during the Super Bowl. Have you requested a Free Refiners Return Pak from Cash4Gold yet? It’s totally free, with no obligation whatsoever.

Angel Mourning GraveFarrah Fawcett – I was so hoping Farrah could beat the odds and overcome her cancer and marry Ryan O’Neal before she died. She is true Angel now. Farrah’s famous Swimsuit Poster will forever be a classic.

Michael Jackson – In junior high, I had a poster of MJ hanging up in my bedroom and knew every word to every song he sang! Now Michael Jackson’s 25th Anniversary of Thriller Album is flying off the shelves (currently on sale for $13.99 from Amazon.com). I’m betting I still know the words to most of the songs!

Billy Mays - Known for his As Seen On TV infomercials, products included:
What Odor? Guaranteed to remove any odor, including pets, urine & skunk
Flies Away Makes flies go away for good, used by farmers & military
Mighty Putty Fix, fill and seal virtually anything up to 350 lbs
Awesome Auger Takes the hard work out of yard work
Zorbeez Like ShamWow but better! Absorbs 27 times greater than towels
Simoniz Fit It! Scratch remover for any surface or color
Tool Band-it Rugged, flexible, lightweight, magnetic armband for tools
Mighty Mendit Fast, easy way to mend, hem and wear again
Quick Chop Fast, easy way to chop, mince, slice and dice with just a tap

Fred Travalena – I have to admit I had to google Fred Travalena to realize I have seen him on television and heard him do voice credits in cartoons. He succumbed to cancer as well.

Gale Storm – Yeah, I didn’t know her either (I’m not that old).  But she was an actress who starred in TV sitcoms in the 1950s, namely My Little Margie.

Ok, enough mourning, let’s go back to shopping

Now, on to today’s Mailbox Monday Video… (I apologize in advance for the poor sound quality)

This video was embedded using the YouTuber plugin by Roy Tanck. Adobe Flash Player is required to view the video.

I usually watch the Super Bowl mainly for the commercials (as in high school, I wanted to write and produce television commercials), but I think the game itself was actually better than the commercials this year!  I’d say the best commercia though was Cash4Gold.com – it’s a legitimate company that offers you cash for your unwanted gold jewelry.  Request a Free Refiner’s Return Kit from Cash4Gold.com with no commitment. 

Rebate checks I received this week -

P& G Check for the Oral-B Pulsonic Toothbrush $15 Rebate  (I gave this to my brother for Christmas – he said it works good)

Note: The Oral-B Pulsonic Rechargeable Power Toothbrush is only $39.99 from Hocks.com (I paid over $50 for my brother’s offline).  Final price after mail-in rebate is only $24.99!

I ordered several Christmas gifts from Amazon.com this year, and a couple of items offered a free magazine subscription with purchase.  Well, Amazon offers the option to mail in your receipt with a rebate form to receive a refund for the cost of the magazine if you don’t want to receive the magazine subscription.  So I saved a tree and now have some extra cash instead of receiving Wired and Outside magazines.

Famous Footwear’s Rewards Certificate Note if you can find a pair of shoes (usually on the clearance rack) for the exact same price of your rewards certificate, the shoes will be totally free – you don’t even have to pay tax! Register for free.

Free Sample Quaker Mini Delights or Quakes Rice Snacks

Free Sample Glad Storage Bags from Walmart – currently unavailable – but check out all of these New Walmart Samples!

Featured Magazine Subscription – More Magazine – best price online $7.99/year from DotComMags.com – Plus Free Shipping! MORE celebrates the twenty years women now have in the middle of their lives. Features on health, beauty, relationships, travel, money, home and fashion.

P.S. I was upset to see the Pepsi Stuff promo ended on 12/31/08.  A friend of mine had just given me a big bag full of pop caps for me to enter, too!  Luckily, My Coke Rewards, on the other hand, is still going strong.
