Does Your Cellphone Service Do This?

February 5, 2015 By Al 16 Comments

Cellphone Service

November 10, 2014 By Al 4 Comments

Is It Cheap?

“But it’s so CHEAP!” Haven’t we all heard THAT before? Sometime it’s a flagrant excuse for an obviously wasteful purchase, but more often than not, this is a sincere sentiment. We think we are getting a wonderful deal as we whip out our credit card, thinking of all the reward points we’ll be earning. But how […]

An Update on Glyde

October 9, 2014 By Al 6 Comments

Update on Glyde

Recently I wrote about how I bought two iPhones 5ses from Glyde for nearly half off the current full retail price.
