    Free cookie with $10 Subway card

    Julia Scott Filed Under:

    Buy a $10 gift card at Subway and get a free cookie. By offering this deal, Subway joins the ranks of retailers offering special perks and bonuses to encourage folks to plunk down cash and buy gift cards.

    WalletPop readers shared the bonuses they spotted at Barnes & Noble, Outback Steakhouse, Red Robin, Sports Authority and the Cheesecake Factory. Earlier I blogged about gift card bonuses at CVS, the Container Store and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

    Caveats: it's unclear when the Subway promotion ends, but I'm guessing it'll be over after Christmas.

    Thanks, Tina!


    20 award-winning toys for $20 or less

    Bonnie McCarthy Filed Under: ,

    I don't think I know anyone who isn't on a budget this holiday (and those of you who aren't, feel free to keep that happy news to yourself). For the rest of us playing Santa on a shoestring, I bring tidings of great joy.

    Yes, Virginia you can find great toys priced under $20 -- and I'm talking award-winning, hours of fun, thank-you note kind of toys for all ages.

    After combing through 2009's lists of award winning toys from toy-testing aficionados including Family Fun Magazine, Parenting Magazine, Dr. Toy, The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Toy of the Year Awards, iParenting Media Awards, as well as the list of top ten "Toy of the Year Awards" from the American Toy Industry Association, I found far more than 20 toys priced under $20.

    So, in the interest of time (which is another thing parents don't have enough of), I used my status as a veteran mother of two to highlight a cool list of toys representing a variety of age ranges, interests and prices (not the old, $19.99 trick every time).

    Feast your eyes:

    IRS wants Sinbad to walk the plank

    Kelly Phillips Erb Filed Under: ,

    It's no laughing matter for Sinbad: the IRS is seeking to take his home.

    The IRS has filed an action in court against the actor/comedian (whose real name is David Adkins) in partial satisfaction of taxes it says he owes.

    The IRS has filed tax liens in the amount of $8.15 million in tax liens against Sinbad. The tax obligations range from $157,934 in 2003 to $2,358,563 in 1998. Penalty and interest continue to accrue for all years while the matter remains outstanding.
