One of those bags contained a beautiful green baby watermelon. It looked fine on the outside, but when we sliced it open it was spoiled and rotten. What to do?<br />
<br />
This was our first time we had a problem with an item delivered through this Whole Foods delivery service. We went through the steps to get a return or refund:<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Sign in to your account on the Amazon Prime Now website (https://primenow.amazon.com). In the upper right of the screen, click on "Your orders". Look for the order date that had a problem, and click "Return/Refund".</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIFgQ5kjOqPnN4ZtJbqpH9j-abn87ZFa-CaTcpZYWYoURtnApatCgHnwVnCace2V9IFBm3SYF3ulHMePyXdlgBO14kSrDkZfas0bczEPnF0qcvmxjHv_6axFgoXky-gv5-rcfnn1ytZ15f/s1600/prime_return1.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="126" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIFgQ5kjOqPnN4ZtJbqpH9j-abn87ZFa-CaTcpZYWYoURtnApatCgHnwVnCace2V9IFBm3SYF3ulHMePyXdlgBO14kSrDkZfas0bczEPnF0qcvmxjHv_6axFgoXky-gv5-rcfnn1ytZ15f/s400/prime_return1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Then, check the box next to the item that was bad, and provide a reason for the return. The reasons given as options might not match your problem exactly, so just choose one that fits best. For my Whole Foods watermelon I chose "item defective or doesn't work".</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<ul>
<li>Next, a message will tell you the result. For my watermelon, I didn't need to return it. Instead Whole Foods Amazon Prime went right to refunding the cost of the watermelon.</li>

I was seeing options $50+ per chair for these tiny pieces of furniture.</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">I checked </font><a href="https://amzn.to/2Sq7ZY9"><font face="Arial" size="3">Amazon Warehouse</font></a><font face="Arial" size="3">, where you can get used and damaged items at lower cost.</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">There was a 2-pack of solid oak kid chairs listed there for $22! They normally sell for $105, and have great reviews.</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">However, the condition description made me pause. It read: </font></p><blockquote><p><em><font face="Arial" size="3">“Acceptable: Large cosmetic imperfection(s) on the interior of the item.Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged.”</font></em></p></blockquote><p><font face="Arial" size="3">Amazon warehouse grades it’s items by: 1) Like New, 2) Very Good, 3) Good, 4) Acceptable. So these kid chairs were graded as the worst condition on that list. So this purchase was a risk.</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">The great thing about Amazon Warehouse, though, is that many items are covered under Amazon’s excellent return policy. Some things may not be, of course, so double-check before purchasing.</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">They chairs arrived in a huge Amazon box (picture 1), that contained another beat-up box (picture 2), that contained two beautiful chairs (picture 3). Though the second box was damaged, the chairs were not, they were in perfect condition.</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">In this case the risk buying from Amazon Warehouse paid off. We now have these beautiful oak chairs for only $11 each.</font></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbhVPMbkooZb4qCDeK4jXohLfiRjQ9d-6KZnfNzhKYTLHEoOMhp0W7YKvPRxIeYaxcwWGH4AbjvrfoO6ICJ34XevCf8Bc38aHLly7lBgYWkem7jat-tar_xsuZF_JTPPcTdbTX5BxeSWwM/s1600/aw3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbhVPMbkooZb4qCDeK4jXohLfiRjQ9d-6KZnfNzhKYTLHEoOMhp0W7YKvPRxIeYaxcwWGH4AbjvrfoO6ICJ34XevCf8Bc38aHLly7lBgYWkem7jat-tar_xsuZF_JTPPcTdbTX5BxeSWwM/s400/aw3.JPG" width="320" height="400" data-original-width="353" data-original-height="441" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNdst83TX_OhJUB_5ncOd5yWfKv2Hx6ihV0Hxj0GQTc9BPLR23EqkL6GlStzFp3kwzpCmzWvnZzdlIO_TBparvUR_LyTAiFuxl79PnyKO0MNno3UAUzLAz73cGC-gx0BxZiEIxqPqUNZRU/s1600/aw2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNdst83TX_OhJUB_5ncOd5yWfKv2Hx6ihV0Hxj0GQTc9BPLR23EqkL6GlStzFp3kwzpCmzWvnZzdlIO_TBparvUR_LyTAiFuxl79PnyKO0MNno3UAUzLAz73cGC-gx0BxZiEIxqPqUNZRU/s400/aw2.JPG" width="326" height="400" data-original-width="365" data-original-height="448" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqrZYIJl_qF1Fgve0_51Kfv30S6amX5XLxUemBTB1ldWW421dC9kB8SwgNiDKVW6a3YS7-B6zewhNzwQkn3_HxAI_B0-Q6wDsoJHT07SPT-ZWBRX_8FlH9rvnV0L8vA7V8dugV_LP3p64C/s1600/aw1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqrZYIJl_qF1Fgve0_51Kfv30S6amX5XLxUemBTB1ldWW421dC9kB8SwgNiDKVW6a3YS7-B6zewhNzwQkn3_HxAI_B0-Q6wDsoJHT07SPT-ZWBRX_8FlH9rvnV0L8vA7V8dugV_LP3p64C/s400/aw1.JPG" width="400" height="298" data-original-width="661" data-original-height="492" /></a></div>Thinknsavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07559595016870871193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626524618681654827.post-26028384866051807562019-07-20T04:20:00.001-07:002019-08-02T08:38:31.939-07:00Moving to Tello Wireless; Goodbye FreedomPop<p><font face="Arial" size="3">Our main cell phone is a little black flip phone that we’ve had forever. I love it because it is tiny and a single charge can last up to a week! It is a prepaid AT&T phone that costs $100 (+tax) for 1000 minutes.</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">Anyways, a couple of years ago, we decided to get a smartphone to be able to use services like Uber and Google maps. Our research back then, led us to FreedomPop. We bought a used Samsung Galaxy 5 Android phone through FreedomPop, and then our smartphone data plan literally was free! It gave us 500MB of data a month, and that was fine for us, for the times we were away from WiFi. </font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">So thanks FreedomPop for 2 years of completely free data!</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">But now, FreedomPop is cancelling their free internet plans for Sprint-type phones. So we needed to find a new cheap plan for our smartphone.</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">Our latest research led us to Tello. They have inexpensive prepaid and monthly plans. We chose a monthly plan that gives us 500 MB of data, 100 minutes of phone, and free texts for $6 per month. With taxes added, our final Tello bill is $7.80 per month. Not a bad price, under $100 per year.</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">After you use your 500 MB of data, Tello apparently lets you use 2G data (slower) for free. We haven’t tested this out yet, since our Tello plan is brand-new but we will report back.</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">I’ve also read that there may be a manual way to roll-over Tello minutes and data? We plan to test that our and will report back on that also. </font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">Tello’s prepaid plans seemed like a good choice too. Tello’s prepaid <a href="https://tello.com/rates/pay_as_you_go">rates are here</a>.

We love grocery delivery services, so put in an order to try it out.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>(You need Amazon Prime to use this service. If you are not a member, you <a href="https://amzn.to/2CIDY0u">can sign up here</a> for a free 30 day trial. There is discounted Prime membership if you <a href="https://amzn.to/2NGUOOg">have a Medicaid or EBT card here</a>. Students also get cheap Prime and <a href="https://amzn.to/2NF459F">a free 6 month trial here</a>.)</li>
</ul>
</div>
Ordering is simple. Go to the <a href="https://primenow.amazon.com/">Prime Now website</a>, make sure your zip code is correct (upper left corner), and then search for grocery items at Whole Foods. Bulk foods, like oatmeal, are available too, which can save you money.<br />
<br />
Click “Add”, and when you are ready, go to Checkout in Prime Now, and choose your delivery address and payment method.<br />
<br />
Then choose a grocery delivery time and day. Our Prime Now options included 1 hour delivery windows, with a $4.99 delivery fee, or 2 hour delivery windows with free delivery. (You may have to order $35+ total to get the free delivery option.).<br />
<br />
There is an option to add a driver tip. The suggested (optional) tip for our $60 order was $6. If you choose to tip, it is part of your credit card total, no cash is exchanged with the driver. There is also the choice to change your tip after delivery.<br />
<br />
I choose grocery delivery between 8:00-10:00 am on Sunday. Here is what happened with our Amazon Prime Now order: <br />
<ul>
<li>6:05 am. Get text that my grocery order is being prepared. (This woke us up! Next time, we’ll silence the phone.) </li>
<li>6:18 am. Text that Fuji apples are out of stock at Whole Foods, with a link to choose a substitute </li>
<li>6:47 am. Get text that my grocery order is ready </li>
<li>9:12 am. Text that my Prime Now order will arrive soon. With a cool link that allows me to see the vehicle location. </li>
<li>9:16 am. Driver arrives and hands off 5 bags of Whole Foods groceries. </li>
<li>9:20 am. Get text that my order has been delivered. </li>
</ul>
We got five paper bags (all strangely marked “baby”; the driver said every order gets a keyword). They were labeled with Amazon Prime Now, not Whole Foods. Everything was packed well. For instance, frozen items were packed together. Produce was bagged in plastic bags. We were happy with the quality of the produce and expiration dates on the dairy.<br />
<br />
Overall, it was a great experience, and we are glad that Amazon Prime and Whole Foods are offering delivery. Just remember that you’ll start getting many texts a couple hours prior to dropoff – silence your phone if you’ll be sleeping or in a meeting.<br />
<ul>
<li><i>*Everything discussed here was ordered with our own money; Amazon and Whole Foods have nothing to do with this post.</i></li>

My old one was big and heavy. There are now these lighter “stick” vacuum cleaners that make vacuuming less strenuous.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="3">We went to the local vacuum cleaner store to try some out. We tested the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Miele-S194-Quickstep-Universal-Cleaner/dp/B006OCXZW8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=thinknsavesma-20&linkId=f1c926e64cea31d7fc232fbde50f559f">Miele QuickStep</a>, but the ergonomics did not fit me right. I’d heard good things about <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Shark-Rotator-Professional-Lift-Away-NV501/dp/B0091JG0LY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=0TZCN02T0AYCDMKMGZ24&linkCode=ll1&tag=thinknsavesma-20&linkId=a9d3e8b308976aa5ae6baf013cc7b41a">Shark vacuums</a>, but our local dealer did not sell them, because they were not able to repair them.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="3">After comparing several vacuums, we bought the Simplicity A-Go-Go stick vacuum. Three months in, I really love it. It has a small footprint and stands up on its own.</font></p> <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-G5qOIznxhRs/WGq-ONS4ZkI/AAAAAAAAFOs/xFTDdRMsAV0/s1600-h/agogostanding7.jpg"><font face="Arial" size="3"></font></a><font face="Arial" size="3">There is a knob to switch between the floor and hose options. It is satisfying to see the dirt accumulate in the clear dirt chamber (there is no bag). And easy enough to empty it.</font></p> <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_uE7mgec_NI/WGq-Pa96TOI/AAAAAAAAFO4/OrMP9GAddHI/s1600-h/agogodirt5.jpg"><font face="Arial" size="3"></font></a><font face="Arial" size="3">The A-Go-Go does best on hard floors and low-pile carpet. The front has some helpful led-type lights.</font></p> <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-c6075m44D-I/WGq-QTzd5hI/AAAAAAAAFPE/BHNXq1RRv94/s1600-h/agogolights5.jpg"><font face="Arial" size="3"></font></a><font face="Arial" size="3">My toddler is fascinated by vacuum cleaners and the Simplicity A-Go-Go is lightweight enough that she can help vacuum, with a little assistance by a grown-up. Having a kid-friendly vacuum is a huge plus.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="3">I also appreciate that the A-Go-Go is cordless, and I haven’t noticed any loss in power for my short (20 minute) vacuum stints.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="3">The main downside to this stick vacuum is the price. I would not own this wonderful $400 Simplicity vacuum, if my mom hadn’t split the cost with me.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="3">So far, we are loving this little vacuum.</font></p> <p align="left"><em><font face="Arial" size="3">Note: We have no connection to Simplicity Vaccum company. The vacuum in this review was purchased with our own funds.</font></em></p>Thinknsavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07559595016870871193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626524618681654827.post-23576412065114838822016-11-13T23:09:00.001-08:002019-11-11T07:37:40.571-08:00Winco Thanksgiving Dinner To-Go 2019Winco is offering fully-cooked Thanksgiving dinners to go in 2019.

I hesitated to sell it through Craigslist, Autotrader, Ebay, or newspaper classified ads. These methods require you to field phone calls from strangers, and then have those strangers come to your house. Then you need to trust that they’ll safely test-drive it, and trust that the check they give you will be good. These things were concerning to me and I imagine also to busy people, single parents, elderly folks, or anyone concerned with time, safety, or privacy.</font> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">I decided to take my car (a low-mileage 1997 Honda CR-V) to four local new and used car dealerships and ask if they wanted to buy it and how much they’d offer. I called around first to make sure each place actually bought used cars.</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">I started at 10 a.m. and was done by 2:30 p.m. At each place I was straightforward about what I was doing, letting them know I was taking it to various dealers and asking for their highest offer. They typically had a mechanic check it out, then conferred with managers. They all noted that Kelly Blue Book values were their starting point, but the offers varied quite a bit:</font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">$1650. CarMax</font></li> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">$800. Honda dealer</font></li> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">$2300. Toyota dealer</font></li> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">$1250. Used car buyer</font></li></ul> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">It was funny that the Honda dealer gave me the lowest offer by far. </font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">I drove my Honda CR-V back to the Toyota dealer, who had the highest offer, sold it them, and they cut me a check right away. </font><font size="3" face="Arial">I’d only visited dealers near a bus stop, so was able to hop on a bus, and start my car-free life.</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">This was a completely safe and fast way to sell a car. I probably could have gotten as much as double the amount by directly selling it to an individual, but this way it was fast, safe, and easy - worth so much to me.</font></p>Thinknsavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07559595016870871193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626524618681654827.post-77103295079965325442016-09-08T15:41:00.001-07:002019-07-20T10:23:45.135-07:00Savings From Not Owning a Car<p><font size="3" face="Arial"></font> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">After another rent increase notice from the landlord, something had to give. Getting rid of the car, and related expenses, made the most sense for us. We have now been living without a car for almost 2 years. Here are our (previous) monthly car expenses; this is how much we are saving each month by being car-free:</font> <ul> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">$150. <strong>Parking</strong>. (Downtown parking was expensive).</font></li> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">$65. <strong>Car insurance</strong>. (With a 17 year old car, insurance was reasonable.)</font></li> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">$40. <strong>Maintenance and repairs</strong>. (This would only increase, with our older car.)</font></li> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">$25. <strong>Gas</strong>. (We didn’t drive it much.)</font></li> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">$10.<strong> Registration and inspection</strong>. (Dividing the annual charge by 12)</font></li></ul> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">As this was an older car, we didn’t have a car payment to get rid of. But even with that, our car-free monthly </font><font size="3" face="Arial">savings is $285 per month or $3,420 per year. </font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">This is a true savings, since we didn’t replace the car with regular use of taxis or car sharing services. We are lucky that we can walk to work, daycare, grocery shopping, friends, and the library. Sometimes we do need to take a bus, and a couple of times a year a taxi, but that cost is minimal compared to the savings.</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">Besides the financial savings, there is time savings from not owning a car. We are no longer dealing with insurance, maintenance, inspection, rotating tires, winterizing, getting gas, and all those other tasks that come with car ownership.</font></p>Thinknsavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07559595016870871193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626524618681654827.post-86552722311408090692016-09-08T15:05:00.001-07:002019-07-20T10:24:00.025-07:00Handling Emergencies Without a Car<p><font size="3" face="Arial">Wondering “What will I do in an emergency” kept me from selling my car for many months. With a baby in the house, I worried whether I would find myself in a situation where I’d regret living without a car.</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">One day I was telling a friend of these worries, and she said “If it’s a real emergency, you call 911. You’d do that even if you had a car.” She was right. I sold the car and have been car-free for almost 2 years now. Luckily, we haven’t had any emergencies, but here are some ideas on how to handle various crises without a car.</font> <blockquote> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">1. <strong>Medical Emergency</strong>. </font> <ul> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">Like my friend said, dial 911, and have them come to you.</font></li></ul> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">2. <strong>Sickness</strong>. </font> <ul> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">If your medical insurance offers a nurse-advice phone number, call them to see if you can do self-care or if you do need to come in.</font></li> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">Use taxi, public transport, car-sharing services (like Uber), family, or friends to get to an medical care clinic. </font></li> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">Some doctors and nurses do make house calls, to the benefit of car-free people. Research these providers in your area ahead of time.</font></li> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">Post these phone numbers on your fridge, so they’re ready when you need them.</font></li></ul> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">3. <strong>Natural Disaster</strong>. </font> <ul> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">After a disaster, the roads are going to be clogged (or damaged) anyways, so it usually makes more sense to stay near home until help arrives. Get to know your neighbors (now) so that you can help each other during a storm, tornado, earthquake, flood, etc.</font></li> <li><font size="3" face="Arial">Make yourself more resilient to disasters by building an emergency kit, practicing a home exit plan, and preparing safe areas in your home or property.</font></li></ul> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">With a little pre-planning, living without a car is no barrier to thriving through emergencies, sickness, and natural disasters.</font></p></blockquote>Thinknsavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07559595016870871193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626524618681654827.post-79190850382800353392016-07-24T21:58:00.001-07:002016-10-02T13:53:47.572-07:00Safeway Monopoly: Can You Sell/Buy Game Pieces on Ebay?<p><font size="3" face="Arial">With Safeway monopoly rare game pieces in hot demand, you may wonder if you can buy (or sell) game pieces on Ebay. The </font><font size="3" face="Arial">short answer is “No”. Ebay’s </font><a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/lottery.html"><font size="3" face="Arial">rules say</font></a><font size="3" face="Arial">: </font></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">“We do not allow the sale of any game pieces for promotional games.”</font></p></blockquote> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">There is, though, one exception to this selling policy. Ebay’s policies state that you are allowed to list and sell:</font></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">“Instant win coupons for free food or discount coupons are allowed”</font></p></blockquote> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">Some of Safeway’s Monopoly game pieces contained instant win coupons inside. These were for free products, for example batteries or pet food. From Ebay’s posted rules (above), it sounds like these special instant win piece would be able to be listed on Ebay. However, the values of those coupons would be low enough (usually less than $5) that it might not be worth your time to sell them on Ebay.</font></p>Thinknsavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07559595016870871193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626524618681654827.post-90212050253232603742015-11-20T21:03:00.001-08:002019-11-11T07:54:08.094-08:00Save Mart Thanksgiving Dinners 2019<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"></span>Save Mart is offering heat-and-serve Thanksgiving dinners for take-out in 2019.
