Keep an Eye on Twitter During the Superbowl

Deals during the superbowl will come and go quickly. Pepsi already released their rumored coupon for a free Pepsi Next and more deals are sure to come.

During the game, I will be tweeting all the deals I hear so you can find them quickly. This will be easier and more efficient than posting every deal here on the blog. Enjoy!

Which Was Your Favorite Superbowl Commercial?

We all know that the Superbowl has the best commercials of the year. Companies pay more money for thirty seconds of airtime than most of us will see in a lifetime. Now that the game is over and the commercials have been aired, which was your favorite? For me it's hard to pick just one. Below are my top five commercials. Please note that these are my favorite commercials but it doesn't mean I like the company or product. I listed this alphabetically by company.

Budweiser - While the main purpose of this commercial was to show Budweiser being enjoyed throughout the years, Eternal Optimism (as the commercial is titled on YouTube) really shows us a montage of amazing moments in history.



Honda CR-V - Who can forget Ferris Bueller's Day Off? 26 years later, this commercial began as a teaser which led fans to believe a sequel was being made.



Hulu Plus - When Hulu was all about free streaming I loved these commercials. This was still good, but if Hulu was really aliens trying to prepare our unknowing brains to eat, would they really charge us for it?



Metlife - Where's Waldo? My friend Chris pointed out that if you were to mute the commercial and have no idea what it was about, you would think it was a montage to a great childhood. This short commercial managed to include so many pop culture references from growing up.



The Voice - Even before the reveal I loved this commercial because it was just so humorous watching the judges fight to get to "the voice" first.

How to Host a Low Cost Superbowl Party

Superbowl Sunday is coming and just because you're hosting a party doesn't mean you have to go broke. Check out some great ways to cut costs without cutting the fun.


Decorate from the dollar store - Dollar stores are great for party supplies. You can buy table clothes, serving plates, plastic ware, and more. My local store even had football shaped chip and dip serving plates. Just don't go overboard. Buying a banner that says "party's here" is cute, but you don't need one on each door and enough balloons to lift the house from UP.

Make your own snacks - Sure it would be easy to buy a veggie platter, but it's cheaper to just chop your own vegetables. It doesn't stop there. If you like pigs in blankets (hot dogs wrapped in dough) you can buy a frozen box but it will be over $10. Buy hot dogs and crescent roll dough. Wrap the hot dogs and slice. Follow the instructions for the dough to bake.

Check out pizza deals - Different places will be offering different specials. Make sure you check out the Super Bowl specials before placing your order.  Now's also a good time to make sure you're registered for Papa John's reward program.  If the fans correctly call the coin toss, you'll get a free pizza and Pepsi Max.
