DON’T WORK YOUR WEEKEND AWAY!

It’s Friday and we’re all looking forward to the weekend! Some of you might be planning on going to the movies, visiting relatives, or if you’re like me then you’re not looking forward to all the work around the house that’s in store for you this weekend. Like many homeowners, I put off a lot of home maintenance until it all piles up and I have to spend my whole weekend working on the house instead of enjoying my time off.

Since I know I’m not alone in my procrastination about doing work around the house, then I’ll let you in on a little secret I learned about years ago, it’s called the Business and Service Directory! Your Odessa/Midland Thrifty Nickel has a huge Business and Service Directory, filled with local merchants here to help you.

A few months ago, I was changing the outside lights above the garage on my home. Well I forgot to turn off the circuit breaker and got zapped pretty bad, after that I decided to hire some professional hands.

–       HK ELECTRIC Licensed and insured electricians. Will do any commercial, residential and industrial. Solar certified. No job too big or too small. Very competitive rates. 432- 741-2503.

Even though I fancy myself a man that can do everything, my wife always wants me to call and hire someone to help. After getting electrocuted and more embarrassing home repair follies that I won’t get into here, I learned my limits. One thing I certainly couldn’t do, is replace my home air conditioning unit after it croaked two summers back. While sweating with central air for days on end sounds like immense fun, I should have called

–       HVAC EXPERTS Heat/ AC & Ventilation complete residential/ commercial service. Installation company for all your A/C & heat needs. Free estimates. 432-272-5636, ACL27499E.

Of course there are many things around the house that I am more than capable of doing, I just dread doing them. Mowing the lawn and definitely falls into that last category and Thrifty Nickel’s Business and Service Directory always has lots of lawn care companies. Give these guys a try:

–       POOR BOY Lawn Service. Mowing, edging, weed eating, trash hauling, & some handyman work. Curtis 432-553- 7377. Odessa

Have a wonderful weekend and pick up your copy of the Thrifty Nickel today!

A Thrifty Reminder!

scaffoldingWith all of the electronic dust we’re kicking up with the site renovations at Our Thrifty Nickel, we know it can sometimes be hard to tell what’s happening around here. (Electronic dust is known to be quite dazzling.) That’s why we want to take this opportunity to reassure everyone — the current site is still very much up and running!


butterflyLater this year, a fully revamped site will emerge from its stylish yet affordable Thrifty Nickel chrysalis, gleaming in the sunlight, and gently flap a thrifty pair of new wings for all to admire. Cher may get a tattoo in our honor.* Who knows!

But in the meantime, the trusty old gears keep turning like they always have, and your ads keep running like magic. So come place your ad today with us at ourthriftynickel.com!

Utilize Classifieds

The Thrifty Nickel Classifieds want to help you sell or buy anything your heart desires. And you may have more to sell than you realize. If you at all want to buy something, check through your house and see if you already own similar items. Say you want a new sewing machine, well peruse our pages. But, say you also already have one or two older sewing machines. They work, but you just don’t want to mess with them to get them fine tuned, you’d rather start over. Put your two machines in our paper! Don’t have multiple copies of the same thing. That’s as wasteful as throwing good products in the garbage.

In case you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, we have an entire section entitled Wanted: Have Cash Will Buy on our website OurThriftyNickel.com. You can place an ad there stating the specifics of the item you desire. You may either advertise it as PAY CASH, or even as a trade.

This is what people are looking for right now:

WANTED BED for 2005 Chevy pickup and factory aluminum wheels, 8 lug. 432-218-7010.

NEED TO Buy a set of Commercial aluminum and glass double doors. 432-923-3347.

PAYING CASH Gold, silver, watches, dolls, costume jewelry, coin & stamp collections, Any collectibles. 432-459-2488.

We also have a handy mechanism on our website that allows registered members to make a running search for any item that meets their specific criteria. If the item gets listed, our website will alert you by sending an email directly to your inbox!
