And the budget also failed to overturn a Massachusetts ban on coupons - the only such state ban in the country (read the budget). The effort to repeal the gift ban had passed the House just two months ago in a bipartisan, 128-to-22 vote that reflected heavy lobbying by drugmakers and biotechs, which argued the law robbed the state of revenue from two medical conventions that held their events elsewhere. However, local restaurants also claimed a drop in business could be traced to the ban (see here). However, their argument lost credibi...

Of course, these are used to treat rather common concerns and all have, at one time or another, been widely advertised. Yet they also share something else in common - often, coupons are available, according to a recent survey that found, on average, 74 percent of consumers took some type of action after visiting a product web site. In other words, coupons appear to act as a motivator for following up in some fashion. “One thing we see when looking at satisfaction in years past is that there seems to be a high correlation beween satisfaction and a coupon,” says Meredith Ressi, president of Manhattan Research, which canvas...

Yes, please. And now a new one has us excited for the future of eco-friendly shopping: ethicalDeal.com. Dubbed the “Green Groupon,” ethicalDeal offers exclusive discounts on the best green things to do, see, and buy. For now, the service is only available for deals in Vancouver, Canada, but we’re hoping ethicalDeal will come to a city near us very soon. (Are you listening, ethicalDeal?) Anything that makes living a green life more affordable is a service that the entire continent (and world) can use.

The ban stems from a 1972 federal anti-kickback law that prevents bribes and other payments to docs and other healthcare providers to limit industry influence over patient treatment. “This is a huge win for people to help them with the affordability of their prescription drugs,” Representative Tom Golden tells The Lowell Sun. “There’s no indication that this will drive up costs in Massachusetts because we have already have a law mandating generic drugs be used when available. That’s cost argument is just not true” (here is the latest version of the bill). Although Massac...

Rembrandt promotes this product as the “only at-home whitening kit on the market that visibly whitens teeth in just 2 hours!” Does it work? I have yet to personally try this product, so I can’t say for sure. However, I found a glowing review on youtube.

They’re at it again with a new whitening product that just debuted last week called Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal. I’m actually pretty excited about these strips in particular because they feature a new “advanced seal” technology that adheres the strips to your teeth like never before – or so that’s the claim. Crest illustrates the “adhering power” of the Advanced Seal strips this way: With revolutionary new Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal, life doesn’t stop just because you’re whitening. Its groundbreaking adhesive formulation holds the Whitestrips in place, so you can whistle along with the radio, take a shower, and even drin...

That’s a pretty awesome discount considering the Pulsonic™ retails for around $70. Apparently Oral-B is in the giving mood this holiday season because in addition to the pulsonic rebate, they’re now offering a $15 mail-in-rebate for each of their 4 Oral-B ProfessionalCare® electric toothbrushes.

This time around, for a limited time, they’re offering a coupon good for $5 off the Crest Whitestrips Premium product.

For me, it just seems like less of a hassle. No charging or mechanical issues to worry about. You just brush, rinse, and replace it every three months. But, that’s not to say that there aren’t some great electronic toothbrushes on the market today. The new, Oral-B® Pulsonic™ Powered Toothbrush is no exception. Barely bigger than the average manual toothbrush, this beauty looks like something that even I could grow to love. It’s Oral-B’s newest, and slimmest rechargeable powered toothbrush to date, and claims to “whiten teeth by reducing surface stains by 94% in just two weeks time(Oralb.com).” The Allure.com Daily Beauty Reporter recently reviewed the Pulsonic™ toothbrush and had this to say: I’ve al...

Shawna over at Paragon International has authorized me to offer you 10% off StarSmilez products with the coupon code: “Heroes” (without quotes). If you’ll remember, I recently reviewed a StarSmilez product by the name of Lil’ Ollie Z Mutt. If you haven’t read the review, I’d recommend doing so, because this is really a great learning tool for children and a solid product all-around. Enjoy your 10% off, and thanks goes out to Shawna for providing us with the coupon code.

Not nice. In case you haven’t guessed, we got mice. Odd that these little critters should be so brave as to venture into the part of the house in which the cat spends some of its time and although he is getting on in years, he does still have the legs for a chase (especially when the dog slips her lead and chases him out of the door. Anyway, traps have been bought and placed, droppings have been removed and traces of murine urine have been mopped up (with a cotton bud) and the whole area disinfected.
