Deals I Like

            Amazon free Kindle Books

Thanks to This Frugal Life web blog for sharing this free book.  I honestly have been on Amazon looking at all the free Kindle and did not see this in the lineup.  It might have been filed under something besides cooking.  It's nice when others find these free books and share.  If you don't have a kindle you can still download any of the free books on your PC.

          Grandmas Molasses Coupon

You don't like molasses?  I do try to get organic, but do sometimes use this brand.  The coupon makes it a better deal too.  If you have to do sweetener, this is one that is worth checking out.  Okay, maybe not in your coffee.  But you can use it for other things, such as cookies, or pancake/waffle batter.

          I-Tunes

   If you have I-tunes don't forget there is free stuff over there also.  Click Here to head over to look.
I have gotten tons of shows, pod casts, and now this story.  I just wish I had more time to actually look at what I get.  I have watched quite a few pod casts through I-tunes and I think it was well worth the price I paid, which was free.

 
There are a lot of deals out there, these are just a few that caught my eye.  Don't forget, 4th of July holiday sales are here.  Also, as always happens, the summer clearance is starting at many stores.  Right when you will be needing a swimsuit they will start disappearing,  so watch the sales coming in the next few weeks for summer items.

Governor and Amazon-Who Is the Bad Guy? Plus an Ovaltine Coupon

    I don't usually get political, so I'll try really hard not to.  But I really feel like I want to mention this.  I also want to say that I actually had a post written up, and then, it all disappeared into oblivion and at 10 pm I didn't really feel like rewriting it again.  I think what happened is all Calfornia people who were associates with Amazon got dumped at the same time and were over here taking their ads off.  I know my blog was totally shut down and finally gave up.

     So, all I want to say is that Jerry Brown has decided that if anyone shops at Amazon through any blog, then Amazon should collect tax for it.  If you are located in California.  Jerry Brown signed that today apparently, and Amazon has dumped all Amazon Affiliates or Associates.  He is essentially saying that they want to impose taxes on all consumers even if the store is not located in that state.  They are saying that if anyone has an amazon ad on their blog, and they are located in California, then taxes must be collected on the one or two dollars that may generate. 

     I guess it's happened in other states and it will probably keep going on.  This is crazy because that's why a lot of us shop online, to avoid the sales tax.  I always figure that it goes into the cost of the item somehow anyway.  This is mostly happening to large companies, since I know you can go online and buy from a smaller company and they don't have a sales tax.  Now if I was to buy from a company like Walmart, with stores in every state, almost on every corner, you will have to pay sales tax for online purchases.
Luckily though it won't affect anyone who shops on Amazon, at least not yet. 

     I know this is confusing, reading the letter Amazon has sent out seemed to make some sense, but it seems that people are totally confused on this whole issue.  Some are calling Amazon whiners, while others are saying Jerry Brown is a, well, this is a rated G blog so we won't go there.
So, here's one link I found with the letter Amazon sent all of us and you can tell by the comments that everyone is very confused by this whole issue.

On a lighter note, I think we should just go drink a glass of Ovaltine, and this coupon should help.
