Back around Christmas (or “the holidays” if you prefer), I had the pleasure of telling you all about how to obtain scrubs online. Today, I have a second opportunity to remind you of the pleasures of scrubs not only for work but for play.

Getting Scrubs Online For Work or Play Is Easy

While you may love the idea of getting in the car or taking the bus or some form of public transportation to get your shopping done, for me, nothing beats the ease of finding the perfect selection of say green scrubs online. The internet may have been invented just for people like me in fact! Years ago I found it fun to shop. I also paid little regard to how much “stuff” one person could buy, although I always shopped wisely

However, nowadays, for the sake of the planet and the ease on your wallet, finding bargains online just seems like the way to go. Which brings me back to my reason for why shopping for a lab coat, nursing uniform, or scrubs online just makes sound financial sense.

Today, while visiting 113tidbits I found the following video which is enough to make any sensible person totally reconsider stopping by any food court in any mall to grab that quick meal.

Chances are you may be getting a lot more (not good) in your food than you think!

So this Black Friday (and from this point forward) stop and think before you decide on that “fast food” at mall food courts!

(Sorry, it’s the holiday season I know, but I’m doing you a favor with this heads up. You want to enjoy (and live through) this holiday season, right?)

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of ampm. All opinions are 100% mine.

Let’s face it, convenience is a staple of today’s individual and/or family functioning. We take the necessary time, when time is available, to get the full grocery shopping out of the way, but don’t we always forget something? You know it and I know it. Thus, the birth of the convenience store, bless them

One such convenience store, ampm, however, is taking “get it quick” to a whole new level! Your local ampm now prepares hot foods, onsite, and includes a DIY, all fresh condiment bar. They stock a wide range of the pick-me-up drinks that come in so handy when you’re getting that “I’m crashing” feeling, but still have tons of tasks ahead of you before your day is done.

Coffee choices, hot beverages, and “the ampm Thirst Oasis soda fountain” (that has 24 flavors so you’re sure to find something just right for you), round out your food and drink needs – again with the convenience that’s, well a lot more convenient than a trip to the grocery store or pricey at a sit-down restaurant. And who isn’t counting pennies nowadays?

I checked out the ampm secret menu tab on Facebook, and wow! The pictured Tower of Torta is enormous and just might be large enough for several family members or friends to share (if you’re counting your calories). What caught my eye was the bacon

The Tower is a do-it-yourself creation, and maybe I wouldn’t have gone quite that crazy. Honestly, you’ve got to see it for yourself to believe it, so click this secret menu tab.

After taking a gander at their secret menu tab, keep July 26th, August 2nd, August 9th, August 16th, and August 30th in mind as the secret menu tabs will be updated with even more “crazy creations”!

And, for all you Facebook fans, or Facebook wannabe’s (so sign up!), on August 2nd, ampm is inviting you to create your own “secret menu concoction” and display it right on Facebook!

I started the day doing an FBI news story that you really need to read, and then, strangely enough, saw an ad later on that caught my eye.

The web site I ended up on is called Swipebids. Now, first and foremost, I did NOT create an account. I will tell you it looked awful tempting, BUT I’m savvy enough to first investigate.

Always look before you leap.

This auction site looks impressive at first glance. It’s ratings in terms of traffic are through the roof. The products shown on the front page, in real time bidding, also impressive. Information on what’s what, well I did not go by what the site says, I first put it into Google to do a “background check”.

Turns out that when you open an account, it works the opposite of say eBay. On eBay you can bid, but it doesn’t cost you anything unless of course you are the lucky winner and get what you wanted.

Swipebids makes you pay upfront each time you bid. For example, say you see something for $2 and there is, oh an hour left on that item. According to sources online, your $2 is removed from your account right then and there. You literally put your money where your mouth is… and then you wait. If someone else bids, and you still want it then you bid again.

This time say you want it badly enough to outbid the last bid by another $2 (let’s assume the other person bid $4). It now costs you $6 on top of the first $2 you initially placed.

And, yes, the money is taken… gone for good, unless you win the bidding war and get that precious whatever for $6.

I found comments at Yahoo! Answers ranging from “don’t go there” to “swipe bids is ‘legit’ but you need to know what’s up with these sites”.

So there you have it, my advice for the day. Plus you really, really need to read the FBI news story. It, too, is advice you don’t want to disregard.

Have a great weekend!
