Target and Walgreens Coverage

February 7th, 2010 · Matches

Hey all. As of today I will no longer be doing coupon matchups for Target and Walgreens. While I really like providing the service, it takes a big chunk of important family time on the weekend. I will, however, continue to provide coupon matches and top pick posts for Hy-Vee, Fareway, and Dahl’s on Tuesdays. To find coverage for Walgreens and Target, just head over to the Grocery Gathering. There are many others providing similar matches for those stores. Thanks and have a great weekend!

Macy’s Go Red Giveaway Winner

February 6th, 2010 · It's Hot

National Go Red DayDid you Go Red yesterday for National Wear Red Day? Many of you entered my Go Red Giveaway and it was really great to hear from those of you who did. It was fun to see what everyone would choose from the Macy’s Go Red sale as well as really touching to hear people’s stories of how heart disease has impacted their lives. Thank you for taking time to learn about a great cause. Without further ado, the winner is… (drumroll and stuff…)

Give the Gift of Love… The Gift of Anti-virus?

February 5th, 2010 · It's Hot

It’s been a busy few days so this is brief but I couldn’t resist sharing. I hopped on my computer a few minutes ago and saw a pop-up from my anti-virus software, promoting their premium software as the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. Whaaaat? Nothing says romance like internet security? Note to computer nerds: pass on this one. What ridiculous advertisements for Valentine’s Day ideas have you heard lately?
