It’s the reality of our every day, wanting to get the best deal. Many people shop online for the convenience and (in many cases) the cost savings. Often times this means the money you spend leaves our local economy and goes to other places. Most of us want to support our local economy as much as possible, but we feel the financial pinch that pushes us to shop for the best price. This is exactly why you hear me talk about our Big Deals Store on the air so often. Never before has it been so easy to save a boatload of money and support local at the same time. By purchasing certificates in our Big Deals Store, you are saving usually between 30 and 50%, most of the certificates do not have expiration dates, and the money you are spending stays right here! It is definitely a win-win scenario for everyone. Be sure to listen closely and check the site often, because we will tell you about specials in our store that can save you even more money!

For most of us, the two weeks of the games are like a vacation. A break from the same-old routine, a break from our typical television viewing habits, and most […]
