Still bouncing around on last generations systems? Own a current system, but want to fire up an older disc inside it? Blockbuster is clearing out all of their Xbox and GameCube games for $4.99. There’s no timeframe on when this will end. The big BB is getting out of the last-gen business, so this sale will probably be on until they pull the remaining items from the shelves.

Just so we’re clear, this price applies to new items only. Used games are still carrying their sticker price, although for the most part the sticker price is $4.99 anyways on used Xbox and GameCube product. PlayStation 2 items are still being supported by Sony with new product coming out regularly. As such I wouldn’t expect to see these join the clearance table anytime soon.

EDIT: Reader b has had some trouble finding a store that’s aware of this offer, so while the whole chain is supposed to be offering this, treat it as YMMV.

A couple of days ago I came across a group of people walking around giving Free Hugs in K-town. I love the whole concept and was ecstatic to see it live especially in a small town like Kingston 😀

Did you ever come across a Free Hugs campaign in your city/town?

Here’s the video for the third time on SmartCanucks:

With the prices of gasoline continuing to soar, we all have to find ways to make the gas last longer so that we don’t end up going broke! 

1. Drive Less – Now, this is pretty obvious, but alot of people are still driving the same amount as they were when gas was cheaper. If the price of gasoline is killing your budget, cut out all unneccessary trips!

2. Combine Errands – Instead of running out a few times per week to run errands, try to do them all in one day at the same time. This will not only save you gas, but time as well!

3. Maintain Your Vehicle – Pump up those tires! Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.4 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four tires.

4. Drive Light – Remove all of the excess weight in your vehicle. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2 percent!

5. Cruise Control – This wonderful option that comes with most cars is ideal for helping you maintain a constant speed and will save you some gas.

6. Drive Smart – Avoid speeding and fast acceleration/braking. This can lower your gas mileage by 5-30% depending on where you are driving. Driving responsibly saves you gas and is also safer.

7. Carpool – Go grocery shopping with your neighbour and go to work with a co-worker. Anything helps. Split the trips each week and this will help save gas and money!

8. Take The Bus – If you are really trying to save money, take the bus instead of your car. Sure it might take you a bit longer to get where you want to go, but you will save buckets of money. Even just a few times a week would help!

When you move into a new place, or when you get bored of the furniture you currently own, it’s fun to redecorate. Unfortunetely, this does not come cheap. That is, unless you’re frugal with your choices of decor. Here are some places that you can get great items for your home at fantastic prices:

1. Thrift Stores – Thrift stores are great when looking for things to spread around your home. Of course, if you’re looking for larger pieces of furniture, this is probably not your best bet, as there isn’t a wide variety of items, but if you are looking for decor items such as photos, vases, etc. this is the perfect place!

2. Yard Sales – Just like the thrift stores, yard sales are best for smaller decor items, but you can get lucky and find some really nice larger furniture as well. Make an offer lower than the listed price, and 9 times out of 10, they will take it.

3. Freecycle – This is the best place to get FREE furniture. That’s right, absolutely free, no strings attatched! Subscribe to the posts and you will get an email whenever a new freebie is added. Act fast though, free stuff always goes quick!
