Are You Ready For Some Football?

Superbowl Sunday is just two days away! Even though no Texas teams are involved this year, you can bet that we’ll all still be watching the big game.

Thrifty Nickel wants all of you to know how easy it is to advertise with us. You can place your ads in person, over the phone, through the mail, or online! Even better yet, advertising is affordable for any budget with Thrifty Nickel.

Be sure to let us know which commercial you see this weekend is your favorite, and remember to place YOUR ads with Thrifty Nickel.

Quit Jumping Through Hoops!

Today seems like it might be the best Thursday all day. I’m not even sure why, but I seemed to have woken up with an extra pep in my step this morning. There might just be something about the fresh smell of newsprint and coffee in the morning that puts a smile on my face. Since the smell of fresh newsprint is in the air, that can only mean one thing, a new issue of Thrifty Nickel comes out today!

Do you remember that famous scene from Indiana Jones where he’s running from the giant boulder with treasure in hand? Well from one treasure hunter to another, let me tell you that it doesn’t have to be that difficult. Finding treasure is actually an extremely simple thing to do, even here in the Permian Basin! All you need are the right tools. Like today’s new issue of your Odessa/Midland Thrifty Nickel!

Once you have our paper in hand, you’re ready to start hunting. Now the best place to start looking for treasure is of course the garage sale section. Thrifty Nickel has tons of garage sales all across the Permian Basin advertised every week. So find a few nearby that interest you and start making that game plan for this weekend. You’ll thank us later when you find a golden idol of your own, without being chased down by any giant boulders.
