$5 Comedy - Judy Gold

Do you like LESBIANS?? How about BIG lesbians?? What about big JEWISH lesbians???

Veteran 6ft. comic Judy Gold is playing for $5 next Tuesday (11/25) @9pm at Eastville Comedy Club in the Village. She's not a typical angry lesbo comedian and she's definitely worth checking out for the cost of a used Indigo Girls CD.

Get $$ by trading in old cell phones

I just found this cool site called flipswap that lets you trade in your old cell phone or ipod for bling bling.You tell them your phone model and they give you a printout to mail them your phone for free. Then a few weeks later they send you a check.

You can also recycle or donate it to charity if you're a hippie like Carson.

20% Off - ShopChantal.com

ShopChantal is a clone of ShopBop.com (guys, ask a lady) except that it also has some Men's clothing AND that I found a 20% off coupon good TODAY ONLY.

Just type in 'my20' before you check out to get the bonus. And like ShopBop if you scrounge around the sale section, you can find some stuff that's not too huge a rip.

Free shipping on orders over $100 too...

$15 - Knicks vs. Warriors

Still in NY during Thanksgiving and want something to do with family?

On Saturday Nov. 29, you can get mui cheap tickets to see the Knicks vs. Warriors at MSG, which should actually be an entertaining game. $45 seats are going for $15 and $60 seats are going for $20. Just select the 44.50 or 60.50 seats and enter 'TRAVEL' where it says Special Offers and Promotions.

Senor Cheapo would go with the $15 seats and then just sneak down - as this clearly won't be a sellout and the $9 an hour ushers really don't care if you go from the cheap seats to the pretty-cheap seats.

$3 - Restaurant Gift Certificates ($25 Value) UPDATED

So here's the deal: You can buy a $25 gift certificate on Restaurant.com for $3 with the code 'ONLINE' through Thursday 12/11.

You can use it at any of their mostly medium-to-high end restaurants (80 within 1 mile of 10014). Some may have restrictions on use - but nothing too big a pain in the ass (ex. min order value, no Fridays). I've tried them and haven't had problems. All in all, if you use them once, you've made up for what you paid.

If you buy in bulk you also get bonus Gift Certificates, making it an even more insane value.

You can give them as a gift that looks expensive ($75 in Gift Certificates!!) but were really super cheap ($6). Plus it's a good excuse to try new places and get some higher quality food than pizza or falafel.

$200 Gift Card w/ Direct TV

Direct TV is already a pretty sweet deal when compared to the rip-off of cable. But if you use your AMEX to book it from now til the end of '09 you'll get a $200 cash card (More Info).

That's basically 3 months free, plus 3 free months of HBO (True Blood) Showtime (Weeds & Dexter) and Starz (??).

Make sure your building has Direct TV access or that you can put a small dish on your roof though.

$6 Comedy: Brian Posehn

This guy is great in a deadpan, Shrek, computer-nerd kinda way. He was in Mr. Show, Sarah Silverman Program & the Roast of Bob Saget



See him for $6 on December 5th or 6th at Comix , my favorite stand-up venue in the city. Also has a 2 drink minimum (2 D.Cokes = $10 more). Oh, don't eat the food, it's fuckin' awful.
