Free is good, especially in my old stomping grounds of Dallas.

Now not everyone is a jazz fan, but some of the jazz in the DFW area is especially good from some of the musicians coming out of the University of North Texas (after all they’re known for their music program, not their football program).  But if you haven’t given live jazz a chance – what could a little free concert hurt to open up your horizons?

Here’s the Details:

Part of the whole dating experience are the smells of it all, but smelling good can take a modest chunk of change. So when

I can’t say exactly how this one smells (musky, fruity) since I haven’t gone through the spray attack of the perfume counters of the anchor stores of the mall, but Free is always the best chance to try it out on a few dates and see how it preforms.

And if nothing else, you could sign up for the free sample and store it away as a christmas / holiday gift for one of your B or C list friends.

Sometimes the most memorable things about a date is the way the other person smelled. And although that can be definatelly used against you if you’re personal hygene isn’t up to par, but if it is and you have a collection

Here’s a free one to add for all the Ladies out there.

I was talking to a c0-worker at work this week about an article I read in my July copy of Smart Money magazine asking if they knew they were able to  take out the money they were using for public transportation pre-tax from their paycheck.

Employees can now set aside up to $230 pretax dollars a month from their paycheck for public-transportation costs.

What most people don’t understand is the real difference between pre-tax and after-tax dollars. The bottom line is if you can find ways to get the things that you’re already spending money on with pre-tax dollars then you’re essentially giving yourself a free raise.

People of the Metroplex, if you haven’t had you’re Thursday nights booked up yet – you just might now. The Dallas Museum of Art is

Now jazz might not what you would go down to Deep Ellum on a Saturday night to go hear, but it is worth the concert experience.

So we’re in the middle of the dog days of summer (although here in the southeast, I’m finding it a rather mild summer vs last summer). We’ve found so many free events and freebies that our most popular post (by a looong shot)  has been the schedule of free outdoor movie listings that we were able to compile around the country.

Although some of them have finished their run, a good number of them continue (some even til September) .  That’s because we’ve been working on ways to make things even better.

Here’s a free event (that’s actually taking place right now as I’m posting it) but it’s going on all weekend long, and I neglect the NorthEast (NY, NJ especially) so I’m going to try and get this info out fast for everyone. So if you’re part of the Bridge & Tunnel crowd and have a date but still trying to decide on plans this might be right up your alley.

It took quite a bit of patience but when I came home from work the other night there was a manilla package in my mailbox

I was actually wondering what this could be since I hadn’t ordered anything on Ebay recently.  Actually I figured it was just more garbage for some investment seminar on how they scam you out of your money for the price of a crummy meal.
