Cool Customers
{Disclaimer: This post is very delayed, but better late than never!}
This summer, Shep and I officially became "Cool Customers". How, you ask? Let me tell you!...
Our electricity provider, PSE&G, has a program called the Cool Customer Program. The gist of it is that customers who enroll get a new fancy shmancy programmable thermostat installed free of charge AND a $50 statement credit. Once you're enrolled, PSE&G has the ability to cycle your air conditioning compressor in order to minimize the impact of high energy demand on the electric system. This is especially important to them in summer when temperatures soar and ACs roar, because the cycling ability allows them the opportunity to avoid blackouts.
Shep wanted to join the program for the free thermostat (he's been wanting to buy a new one since we moved in!); I liked the idea of $50 worth of free electricity (to help counteract my darling hubby's hobby of turning on, and leaving on, every light in the apartment). But, the program seemed a little "big brother"ish to me. I like being in control of my own home's temperature, thank you very much! Plus, we didn't really need new thermostats; we already had programmable ones! Shep's curiosity took charge so he called PSE&G and spoke with a service rep, who explained that it would be a rare occurrence (and pretty dire circumstance) for them to actually exercise their ability to cycle the system. That put Shep at ease, but I still wasn't buying it. So, I asked around at work and did a few minutes of online research to perform a quick cost/benefit analysis. Before signing up, I wanted to ensure the pros of the program outweighed any potential cons. Lucky for me, a couple of colleagues of mine had joined the program the previous year and confirmed that PSE&G had never to date adjusted their AC cycles. This made me a lot more comfortable, so we took the plunge. Well, to our delight we received TWO free programmable thermostats (which were installed very quickly and painlessly by a PSE&G representative) and a $100 statement credit, because we have 2 HVAC units in our condo. Woohoo! Double the benefits and no additional risk... that's my kind of offer! ;) Oh, and as expected, we didn't experience any compressor cycling at all throughout the summer.
In summary, I'd definitely recommend the program to anyone out there considering it! As far as we can see, there's nothing to lose by trying it out!
Do any readers out there have any experience with a "Cool Customer" program? I'm curious to hear about other power companies out there that have similar programs, so do share!

Fantastically Free!
Remember when I won a gift certificate to One Kings Lane, courtesy of a giveaway Erin hosted over at House of Turquoise? {I do -- it was one of the most exciting things that happened to me this year!}
Well, ladies and gents, I've spent my OKL gift certificate and I want to show you the fantastically free items I got!
First up, a pretty wreath of dried hydrangea blooms, purple sinuata, white larkspur, natural phalaris, mint flower and fern, for our front door:
It was packaged well so it arrived in great shape, and up on our front door it went! Since we live in an apartment building, our front door is metal and we're not permitted to drill through it. So, I used a handy dandy removable Command hook, which is working perfectly! The only minor hiccup is that I placed the hook too close to the peep hole in our door, so the wreath blocks our view of the hallway. Ooopsie. What can I say... it was late and I was tired. It's not that big of a deal since we don't really get any strange(r) visitors, but one of these days I do plan to spend the 5 minutes it would take to reposition the hook. ;)
The next item I ordered was this toilet paper holder:
Our master bathroom is pretty large, but there is a serious lack of storage space. {Boooo.} This functional but attractive paper holder is just the thing we needed! It's large enough to hold extra big rolls, and it fits great in the nook between our porcelain throne and shower stall. I don't think I need to explain the value of having toilet paper within easy reaching distance. ;) Who knew a paper holder could be pretty?! Not I!
And last (but not least), I purchased this little bath tub caddy:
Admittedly, I have yet to use the gorgeous jacuzzi bath tub in our home (although we've lived here for 9 months now!)... but when I finally do get to test it out, I now have a little caddy to store some bath goodies. And, although I've also never read a book in the tub in my entire life, for some reason the book stand in the caddy called out to me. What can I say, I'm weak. ;)
So there you have it.... my three most recent fantastically free finds! {Say that three times fast!}
What do you think of my finds? Have you purchased anything from One Kings Lane yet? If so, I'd love to hear about it!
P.S. -- If you're not yet a member of OKL, click here to sign up and get $15 off your first purchase!

Free Shutterfly Photo Book
Free alert!!! Through Wednesday, September 12, Shutterfly is offering YOU (and me!) a free* 8 x 8 photo book!
Click here for more info and to order! I've ordered a couple photo books from Shutterfly in the past: the interface is easy to use, the quality is pretty great given the price, and they're delivered quickly! I definitely plan to utilize this end-of-summer offer.... hmm, maybe on a France vacation memory book!
*You'll be charged for shipping, but it's still a great deal considering these books are typically $29.99!
I'm not receiving any payment or other perk for referring this offer - I just wanted to share this great deal as a PSA to my trusty readers! Enjoy!!

AmEx gift card alert!
Disclaimer: I have not tested or verified this offer myself, nor am I receiving any financial or other award for sharing this offer. I'm merely passing on a tip I just saw at one of my favorite blogs, 20somethingfinance.
American Express is currently running a promotion whereby if you order and load at least $200 onto a new American Express pre-paid card before this Friday 8/31, you will receive a bonus $25 gift card. For more details, click here.
I have received AmEx prepaid cards in the past as gifts or as the form of payment for various product rebate offers, and I can tell you they are as easy to use as a regular credit/debit card. If you don't mind going through the steps of loading up an AmEx prepaid card with $200 from your bank account, then this sounds like a pretty simple way to score a free $25 AmEx gift card. But remember, as always, to read the fine print when signing up to ensure there are no sneaky fees involved! It doesn't appear as if there are any tricks behind this offer, but you can never be too careful!

I won!!!!
I read a lot of blogs. I love looking at the pretty photos and reading about other creative projects and exciting things happening in lives of perfect strangers out there on the world wide web. A bunch of the home blogs I read frequently host contests, which I always enter and usually never win. Until now that is...
I was shocked and simply giddy to see my name announced as the winner of the One Kings Lane gift certificate on House of Turquoise the other day! I drool over One Kings Lane on a regular basis, so to think I now have $100 to spend on anything I want is beyond exciting!!! If you aren't already a member of One Kings Lane (it's free to join but you have to join to see the sales!), click here to sign up and get $15 off your first purchase!
I wonder what I'll buy with my winnings?! The possibilities are endless...

Some Good Deals!
Hi readers, I have 2 great money-saving deals to share with you!
The first item is a coupon code worth 40% off any 1 regular-priced item from Land's End + free shipping on your order, but you have to act fast because the code expires tonight 10/21/2011 at midnight CST! The great thing about ordering from the Land's End online catalog is that you can return the items to any Sears store without having to pay return shipping. Those of you who know me know how much I love me some free-shipping-free-returns-online-shopping-deals! In fact, I may or may not have already purchased a new pair of winter boots for myself using this code. ;)
The second is a 15 piece cookware set + triple bonus PLUS $30 rebate from JC Penney for less than $34!
The set is originally $149.99, but is currently on sale for $74.99 (50% off). Code BESTOCT drops the price an extra 15% to $63.74 and the website is offering a $30 AmEx gift card for purchasing this item, making the final cost only $33.74! 77% off?!?!?! Now that's what I call a deal! The jcpenney website reviews give this set an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars. Not bad!
Happy shopping!
