I want to give shout outs (for free) to two internet based business that recently saved me a shit load of money.
the first is Petshed. It’s a pet supply business based out of australia. You know how all those people are going to canada to get their prescriptions filled, and the government is all pissy about it, even though the drugs here are outrageously expensive for no good goddamned reason? Well, australia is like canada. For pets.
A while back, I bought a generic version of Heartguard, which can cost me $60 at other places, but only cost me $25 (including shipping!) at PetShed. This is the illegal bit, because Heartguard is a prescription (for some insane reason - it’s less dangerous than frontline, for god’s sake - I know this because once sadie got into the heartguard and ate 4 of them at once, the little bitch, and suffered NO ILL EFFECTS) and you’re not allowed to get your prescriptions from other countries, and you’re not supposed to be able to get them without a prescription (I didn’t send them one). And it was NO PROBLEM at PetShed!
Last week I bought some Frontline, which would cost me over $80 normally, but I got for $50 (including shipping) for a 6 month supply (which will last me a year) at PetShed.
I *heart* PetShed.
The second shout out goes to Kokopelli music. My ipod mini’s battery was definately going shitty (after a whole year….right after the warrentee ran out. bastards). It would only store enough charge for a few hours, and then the battery indicator stopped being accurate, so it would tell me that I had half a charge, when really I had next to nothing.
For $17 (plus shipping), I got a battery replacement kit and instructions. it was scary and a little challenging, but I did it. And my mini is back to being supah wonderful. So if you’re iPod battery is acting up, and you don’t have $300 for a new fancy one, install a new battery yourself!
Or, you can send them your iPod and they’ll install a new battery for you. I think this service is $35. Still cheaper than a new one.
So there ya go. ESC sells out for no money. Patronize and enjoy!

You know, if Petshed ever starts selling “dog” viagra, there is going to be an international incident.
You are such a whore.
never heard of dog viagra, but I have heard of dog condoms.
and I AM whore! hooray!
OT–just updated your link over at Whiplash Smile. Next project is making a blogroll for Scented Business, and I’ll be sure to include KnitGeeks
OOOOooo Snazzy new digs and Wordpress to boot, how cool are you? I’ve sold a few pretty cool templates for Wordpress lately, it can be a major pain to customize though.
Here’s a 3 column one I did for Empty Cerebrations and a 2 column one at Cat With a Pen
Hope you’re having fun with yours!
Hmmmmm, I’ll have to check out that PetShed place. I can’t remember what we paid for our Frontline.
Go Aussies!
