Because FatHeadDog thinks you’re neat, I convinced RueLaLa to give you $10 free credit. Really, I growled and howled until they said, “Yes, we’ll give all new members* a free $10 credit.”

Yeahh, I realize they said “all new members” but I chose to read “FatHeadDog readers.” I have selective reading like that.

ReDigi is the world’s first online marketplace for pre-owned digital music. Its genius is in its ability to facilitate the transfer of a digital music file from one user to another without copying or file sharing. This gives digital music a resale value for the first time ever, and consumers the freedom to buy and sell the music they rightfully own.

I Might Have Figured Sneakpeeq Out

sparq home 26601 rocks 1200 300x300 I Might Have Figured Sneakpeeq Out

I want these. Drink rocks that don't dilute your drink.

Sneakpeeq is a different kind of flash sales site, with a very social aspect to it. But the first two times I logged on… very underwhelming. Finally though from Hip2Save, I have an explanation of what the bark this site is about:

For all you new “Sneakpeeqers”, a peeq is the action of flipping over a price tag. As a new user, you have a limited number of peeqs but the more you participate the more you’ll earn. Every 24 hours the peeqs are refilled to your account (for each peeq, you’ll earn 5 points). You’ll also have the option to share your favorite items with friends on your Facebook Wall earning you 10 points. Finally, if you buy an item, you’ll earn 100 points.

Then on the Sneakpeeq site:

For every store we have a leader board of top participants. The more you peeq, love, share, and buy the more points you’ll get. The top three people in each store’s leader board will receive one extra item for free. Leader boards are a competition all the way to the last minute of the store being open.

HOW ARE POINTS EARNED ON A LEADER BOARD?

Points are as follows

Confusing enough? Good. I think.

Don’t Shop and Fly

FatHeadDog Frugal Tip of the Day: Don’t cave in. You can pay up to 34% more for those airport impulse buys.

Watch Your Wallet While Shopping for Airport Electronics

By , dealnews Features Director Dont Shop and FlyIn the next few days, airports nationwide will be flooded with travelers en route to see family or friends for the Christmas weekend. And if we’re to believe the New York Times, they might be shopping for electronics while they wait.The Times recently published an article that documented the recent growth of consumer electronics stores and kiosks in the airport, like Brookstone, InMotion, and Best Buy vending machines. Some travelers will buy up headphones and chargers to replace broken or forgotten necessities, while others might be looking for a diversion or “treat” for their travels. It’s also reasonable to think that, right before the holidays, travelers may also be looking for some last-minute gifts for anyone they haven’t yet shopped for.

But how much will it cost you to do your shopping at the airport, instead of in advance? A consultant quoted in the Times article said that most of the items in these stores are available at prices equal to or within 10% of what you can find at other retailers. Considering a bottle of water could cost you around $5 at Newark Liberty, we weren’t so confident in those supposed price points… CLICK HERE to continue reading.
