And the update is……I have no updates! Lol. Sort of. The other day, I posted about a free app from Leap Pad, if you registered and set up your Leap Pad by 12/22. This was something I got in an email from Leap. I did actually register ours and get it set up on that date, but was unable to find the free app on the website–and this was after clicking through the email they sent me.

 
Anyway, I have now emailed them twice and have not heard back. I did let them know I was a blogger–not in an obnoxious “Hey, I’m a blogger so give me what I want or I’ll bash you on my blog” sort of way. More of a “Hey, I know that I have lots of readers who also were unable to locate this free app and are interested” sort of way. So hopefully we’ll hear something soon and they’ll honor it, even though it is now past the date.
 
In the meantime, I’ve been shopping around, and it appears that there are very few places to get these apps–Leap, of course, and Amazon and Toys R Us. Right now Toys R Us has the games at Buy one, get one 50% off. These things don’t seem to be discounted that much, so 25% off is a good price. I think we’re going to get the Cars one, not sure what else.
 
And here are some games and accessories to check out from Amazon. ETA: Please read the comment that a reader left, as to where she found the app. It’s still not showing up for me :( but I’ll keep trying!

Regroup & Refocus for 2012~Take the Savings pledge!

Ok everyone……holidays are over (mostly) so it’s time to regroup and refocus. Let’s make 2012 a great financial year for all of us. On your to-do list for this week, look at your household budget and take the Savings.com Savings Pledge. While I’ve exercised a lot of restraint the past few weeks, and haven’t nearly spent what I would have liked to have spent…….I still did quite a bit of unnecessary spending. I need to discipline myself, refocus, and remind myself to get back on board with this.

What’s your goal? What are you saving for?

After Christmas sales: $159 8GB tablet

Overall, I’m not a huge fan of the cheap-o tablets. Having purchased and returned two of them, because they were junk, I’ve kind of learned that sometimes you get what you pay for. It’s just my personal opinion that there isn’t a decent tablet out there for under $100. This one piques my interest though–here are the features.

  • Equipped with Android 2.3 OS
  • Wi-Fi-ready for web surfing, email and App shopping
  • 7-inch-wide screen with full 1080P HD quality
  • 8GB hard drive and 512MB memory
  • QWERTY on-screen keyboard for easy typing
  • E-books on the go
  • Built-in microphone
  • Dual surround sound speakers
  • Detachable, rotating stand that also serves as a screen protector when collapsed

Now that seems like a decent starter tablet, or one for kids, or someone like me who just wants a few apps on the go.
