Free Credit Monitoring for Those Affected by Target Data Breach

TargetMonitoring

If you shopped at Target during the past holiday season Target is offering free credit monitoring for a year, due to their data breach. You go HERE to sign up. They have a FAQ section that may answer questions you might have.

The one year of free monitoring membership to ProtectMyID includes:
• Credit Report: You will get a free copy of their Experian credit report. If you enroll online, your report will be available online. Online credit reports are available for 30 days.

• Daily Credit Monitoring: You will receive alerts for one year that reflect changes to your Experian credit report during your membership term. This includes new inquiries, newly opened accounts, new derogatory information (such as delinquencies or medical collections) and more.

• Identity Theft Resolution: If confirmed that you have been the victim of identity theft, you will be assigned a dedicated, U.S.-based Experian Fraud Resolution Agent who will walk you through the fraud resolution process—and remain available to answer questions—from start to finish.

• Identity Theft Insurance: If you have been a victim of identity theft relating to this incident, you will immediately be covered by a $1 million insurance policy that can help you cover certain costs, including lost wages, private investigator fees, and unauthorized electronic fund transfers for one year.

• ProtectMyID ExtendCARE: Access to personalized assistance from a highly-trained Fraud Resolution Agent will continue even after the initial one year ProtectMyID membership expires.

Zaycon Foods – Chicken Even

If you are looking for a good price on chicken breast, check out Zaycon Foods.  They are currently taking orders in multiple areas.  The Arizona Chicken Events are all across the state next month.  For their chicken event, boneless, skinless chicken breasts are sold in 40 lb. cases.  The price for Arizona is $1.89/lb.  They usually have their chicken event twice a year.

  • 100 % natural chicken with no added hormones, additives or artificial ingredients
  • Comes directly from the processor and has never been frozen
  • Sold by the case — 40 lbs in each case
  • Case dimensions—18 in. wide x 12 in. deep x 7 in. tall

I’ve ordered chicken from them several times and been very happy with the results.  The breasts are moist and tender.  Since they’ve never been frozen I cut them up and freeze them when I get them home.  If 40 lbs. sounds like too much chicken at one time, consider finding someone to split a case with.  I usually split a case with my mom.

The ordering process and pick-up is easy.

  • Once you sign up, go into your account and select the location where you want to pick up your chicken.
  • Pay for the order online (via their secure site)
  • A day before the pick-up date, you will get a reminder email from them.
  • Drive over to the location of your choosing on the day/time of the pick-up.
  • You simply stay in your car, let them know who you are.
  • They will verify your order and place the appropriate items in your trunk or backseat (whatever location you specify).

Frozen Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for $6.99

FrozenSoundtrackIf you have a Frozen fan in the family, you can pick up the Frozen Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for only $6.99 from either iTunes or Amazon MP3.  If you are interested, be sure to act fast, I think this deal is only available through 1/3.

My husband was looking at this the other day because our daughters love the movie and our oldest sings her version of Let It Go daily, and it was nearly $20 on iTunes.
