Guess What Store This Is?

If you watch the trailer for 500 Days of Summer (out July 17), you'll see Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt running through one of the world's most popular home décor stores. Can you name the store?

Department Store Mishap

Word to the dumbass: A moving escalator is not the perfect place to sit and take a rest in the middle of a department store. We wouldn't want to risk you falling and hurting the displays, now would we?

Top Talkers Get Free T-Shirts

YumSugar — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 08:53:56 -0700

I thought it would be fun to give away another piece of YumSugar swag, so yesterday I had the Sugar Network geeks run a few reports. I was curious to see which one of you lovely users commented on YumSugar the most during the month of March and I thought it would be cool to reward the top talker with a little reward. Turns out the big talker in March was none other than mandiesoh! Congrats mandiesoh, we'll be sending a YumSugar t-shirt your way!

Want your own YumSugar gear? Start leaving comments, the top talker for April will receive some YumSugar swag too! Too shy to talk? Buy your own tee from our YumSugar store.

How Money Are You: Trip to the Grocery Store, Ralph's

SavvySugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:30:35 -0800

Grocery stores like Ralph's that stay open 24 hours a day give us the option of shopping at any hour. This means we're not cornered into going when it's convenient for everyone else, too, and you don't feel rushed while comparison shopping your way down the aisles. When you shop at an odd time, you're more likely to make good decisions about what to buy. Can you guess how much some of the items cost last time I shopped at 9 p.m. on a Wednesday?

This pic was taken last Saturday when Blake attended the grand opening of Apple's Upper West Side store. Maybe she was doing some early holiday shopping?

The First Microsoft Retail Store Finally Opens

GeekSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:44:52 -0700

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced their plan to open a retail store, and yesterday was the day! The Scottsdale, AZ store drew an initial crowd of around 500 people who waited in line for the opening, including some die-hard fans who spent the night. Just before opening, employees handed out gift bags to the first customers in line, including a $25 gift certificate and tickets to an Ashley Tisdale concert at the store later in the day. The store opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9:30 a.m.

The new store is outfitted with Microsoft's high-tech Surface Tables to help customers find what they're looking for. Giant screens decorate the walls in "gaming zones" where customers can test out their favorite video games, including Rock Band and Halo. The store sells several brands of Windows-compatible laptop in addition to Microsoft software (including the just-released Windows 7 operating system), and Xbox consoles and games.

The next store is scheduled to open on Oct. 29 in Southern California.

Access Store Coupons on Your iPhone With the Yowza App

GeekSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:05:29 -0800

With the holidays right around the corner, I'm not only starting to think about shopping, but I'm also thinking of creative ways to save. Yesterday, I told you about ten websites that will help you save some money on gifts, and today it's all about Yowza!!, an iPhone and iPod Touch app that will show you all of the store coupons within a mile or as far as 15 miles from where you are shopping (which makes sense why it has two exclamations after its name!).

Once you download this free app, open it and you will see all of the coupons applicable to your location, or you can type in a store name to see what's available. And if an offer includes a bar code, just have the cashier scan the barcode, right from your phone. No coupon clipping, no paper, no hassles - I die!
