Thank you very much SW for helping me compile these lists.


With Small Business Saturday coming this Saturday, here is a sampling of confirmed locations to spend your money.  I don't know whether the stores will be open, but they are on the map from American Express.  Internet purchases will not qualify, it needs to be processed in store.  If you call in to a store and they process your card that will work.

This is not an exhaustive list.  Please email me with a screen shot of a place on the map that is a glaring mistake I left out.

Small Business Saturday in Teaneck, NJ - Where to Go?




I've now registered my 22 American Express cards between myself and my wife and got my confirmation emails so I am ready to go.  If only the promotion was still $25 a card!  Oh well.

Now it's time to figure out where to spend the money.

Small Business Saturday is this coming Saturday, November 30th.  If you spend $10 or more at any participating small business, you will get a $10 credit to your American Express card.

You can get some more info here and register your cards here for the promotion.

Kosher places in Teaneck that are participating

The easiest way to figure out who is confirmed as participating is to go to the SBS map.  You can put in 07666 and dining to find Kosher restaurants in Teaneck.  If any of these restaurants offer gift cards you can buy them in $10 increments and use it a different day as well

Here is a quick list of what I have found that I know is kosher. or sells kosher items  There are others there that I am not familiar with but are likely kosher as well:

ChopStix
Nobo
Sammy's Pizza and Bagels
Sushi Metsuyan
Kosher Experience

Carvel on Hackensack Ave.


I'm sure there are others.  If you find any please leave a comment and I can add it to the list.

75,000 Page Views!

Thank you everyone for the continued success of the blog!


It took 14 and a half months to get my first 25,000 page views.

It took 7 and a half months to get the next 25,000 page views.


It took only 4 and half months to get the final 25,000 page views.


Thank you Koren for giving out a free siddur and jump starting my pageviews.  Here is a chart of total pageviews and you can see where Koren gave away a free siddur right there.



The numbers seem down for this month because it is still in the middle of the month, they are in fact on track to be the best month yet!  Thank you all!





Sign up for Chase Paperless Statements and get $5



Update: 11/19 - My $5 credit posted as shown in the picture below.  I signed up for paperless on 10/27



Chase will give you $5 when switch from Paper to Paperless statements.

The bonus will come after 6 weeks.  Enroll before the end of the year.

I personally hate paperless statements.  I know myself and I will only check the statement if it comes in the mail.  That being said, $5 is $5 and I can deal with paperless for 6 weeks and then switch back.

Spend $25 at BP get $5 Back Until 12/31 - American Express



This offer is good every time you spend $25, not just one time, until the end of the year.

Check the "Offers for You" section in your online account and you might have an offer that you can click on that will automatically get you a $5 credit if you spend $25 at a BP station.  That's 25% off.

Alternatively, you can tweet #AmexBP from your Twitter account that is synced to an American Express card.  You can confirm that you are qualified for the offer by clicking on @connect.

I just got finished spending $30 at Exxon Mobil to get my $5 there so this is good timing. 

It's always nice to have American Express cards for these promotions, especially American Express cards that don't have annual fees that have access to the same promotions.



The offer says it is for spending at the pump.  I have not tried or read any confirmed reports of buying in the store ($25 gift cards would be 25% off gas until your gift cards run out).
