Two Free Tacos at Jack In The Box

Rumor is spreading that Jack In The Box will have a promo for two free tacos on February 24, 2009.  They are currently running a campaign “Hang in there Jack” that is supposed to end with the promotion.  If you sign up at the site, you will get a printable coupon the day before the promo that you can print for two free tacos.  It is supposed to be no purchase necessary as well.

There aren’t any of these restaurants in my area, but I’ve heard the tacos are tasty!

Coupon is available to print here.

The Frugal Gourmet

NPR has an article up talking about Christiane Jory’s book, “The 99 Cent Only Stores Cookbook”.  There are good food deals to be found in the “dollar stores” (whose names vary by region).  With all the premium that people place on ingredients, this goes to prove that a bit of creativity can overcome a lot.

Keep in mind when bargain shopping to think beyond just coupons and sales.  Dollar stores sometimes have bargains beyond nick-nacks and household goods!

Experian Stops Selling FICO Scores

The LA Times is reporting that Experian will stop selling FICO scores to individual consumers.  FICO is used by the majority of lenders to determine the credit-worthiness of customers.  Many financial advisors recommend getting your three FICO scores before negotiating loan terms for large items, such as a home or automobile.

Experian will continue to sell its propritary PLUS score, as well as VantageScore, which it developed with TransUnion and Equifax.  Some people close to the industry believe that Experian is trying to force more utilization fo the PLUS score by keeping FICO out of the hands of consumers.  Commercial customers will still be able to get the FICO score from Experian.

Today is the last day that a FICO score can be purchased from Experian.
