Shop Smarter
I worked retail for many, many years before moving over to
Savings.com, so I know a thing or two about good customer service and in all honesty the customer is not always right--sometimes they are just a jerk. But conversely, the management is not always right either which leaves the customer service rep in the middle, enforcing policies that they don't always agree with and can't do anything about.
A while ago, Stella blogged about
good customer service
experiences and how to more effectively deal with customer service reps
to get what you need. Today I'm here to share two specific customer service
tales that happened
to me recently--and how I was blown away by the quality of service I
received.

The only new piece of furniture I own in my house is my mattress.
Everything else is a hand-me-down. Not only have I furnished my
entire house for less than $1,000, I'm saving the environment by
reclaiming furniture that would have otherwise ended up in the
trash. To make everything match and look nice, I have repurposed
many of the pieces. I'm no handyman, but there are several ways you
can repurpose furniture with little experience and
without spending a ton of money.
1. Paint
A fresh coat of paint gives life to an old piece of wood furniture.
You can paint the furniture to match the original wood or in any
color you like, (I have a blue desk.) The major hardware chains
sell samples of low-VOC paint for about $3.50 and its enough paint
to finish most jobs.

Whether you work
from home full time or find yourself bringing your work home with you on
the weekends, having a dedicated office space with all the gadgets and
tools you need makes life easier. Unfortunately, it also adds to your
electricity bill and household waste. Follow these four tips to cut down
on your energy consumption and waste levels.
1. Upgrade to CFLsIf
you're still using traditional light bulbs in your home office, its
time to upgrade to compact fluorescent light bulbs. CLFs cost a bit more
than standard light bulbs - about $3.00 to $6.00 a piece - but they'll
reduce your electricity usage as well as the heat output from the light.
The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that a CFL uses 75 percent less energy on average.
