Thank you to the Earn Give Save sponsors

We want to give major props to the sponsors that help to keep EGS running each and every week.  All of the sidebar ads are items that we use and believe in!  They are:

SmartyPig — One of the best ways we’ve seen to plan and save for major purchases.  We’re currently using it to save for our Christmas giving in 2010, and the automation of it, plus bonus interest from companies like Amazon, iTunes, and Macy’s make it a great service.

Elegant Themes — An excellent collection of themes for WordPress sites, and provider of the great design for EGS.  Elegant Themes provides terrific support and rolls out new themes on a really consistent basis.  If you’re thinking about starting a WordPress blog and are in need of a great looking theme, be sure to take a look at Elegant Themes.

Roku — We gushed about it earlier this month, but Roku’s set top box has allowed us to scale our cable TV commitment down to just the very basic channels.  There’s no better experience for watching content from Netflix, Amazon, and others, right on your TV with no computer required.

RoadRunner Sports — This company came to our attention when Andrew was looking for discounted running shoes last spring.  They have an amazing return/exchange policy; you actually have 60 days to run in the shoes following the date of purchase.  If they don’t fit, RoadRunner will exchange them, no questions asked.  They also have a normal 30 days return policy for new items.

And of course, you’ll often see affiliate links from:

Amazon — What can we say?  Amazon has become our go-to place for most all of our Christmas shopping, as well as numerous purchases throughout the year.  If you’re not using Amazon, you’re crazy!  (Okay, we’re kidding.  But really, have you been living under a rock all this time?)

Finally, thanks to Google for serving up the other ads that you see around the site.  These ads are designed to promote products or services related to the content of the posts we write, and clicking on them could be of benefit to you, and will definitely be beneficial to us.  Thanks!
