I get lots of offers trying to get me to list lots of …well…crap.  This product caught my eye because I think it’s useful.  Glow Grip is a system of grip and glow strips.  Their Standard Glow Grip™ kit sells for $19.99 plus $6.95 S&P. This kit includes 16 Glow Strips, and includes the 51-piece home illumination kit.

For $10 more, you have the Deluxe Glow Grip™ kit, which includes 16 Glow Strips and the 51-piece home illumination kit shown above, plus 10 Silicon Grit Strips and 1 roll of Super Glow Tape.  This package gives you free shipping.

Why do I like this product?  There are lots of time we go into the basement or garage, never bothering to turn on a light because we’re only going to be out there or in the basement for a couple of minutes.  Yeah, I’ve done it, too.  Scare me to think how easy it would be to hit a patch of water or ice and then crack.  So for 20 bucks?  worth it.

Just turn off the volume if you click, because the damned obnoxious commercial plays in a loop.

I’ve gotten emails from quite of few of you who are heading out to Lisle and Wheaton this weekend – some coming quite a far piece – just ’cause our stores rock!

Sue (mrsmm80) made the trip to Jewel today.  She forgot to take a picture and she’s too bushed to gather up everything, but here’s her story:

MG, that was one awesome trip.  In fact, it was SO awesome, I’m thinking of going WT hunting again 🙂

I’m so glad I called the meat dept. 1st thing this morning and asked them if they would package up some meat for me, and they did!

This is what I got – I did 5 seperate transactions just to be sure I could use my $20 cats and not have everything lock up:

12 S&D fillets (indiv. wrap)
6 S&D ribeyes (3 pks of 2 ea)
32 mini pub-burgers (16 pks of 2 in each)
4 single serve tilapia
6 cases of Diet Pepsi
5 bags Doritos
15 boxes of Nature Valley granola bars
2 bottles A1 — they use this stuff on everything!
11 ears sweet corn
2 pkg Buddig beef
3# Russet potatoes
4 containers strawberries – thanks for the head up on that
2 containers raspberries
1 bag Starbucks
2 lbs bananas
1 bag lettuce mix
2 pkg Dolfino havarti cheese
3# golden delicious apples
1 pkg Northern TP
1 20 oz bottle diet pepsi (cuz I was thirsty and I needed about $.35 more cents on my last transaction!)

Total OOP $6.45 after Q’s and Cats!!!!!!!
I gots stuff worth $283.40 @ preferred/sale pricing.

WOW and double WOW~ when are you going on EC?  Oh, wait, you didn’t pick up any of those disgusting noodles…too bad.

And yet another in my continuing educational series:   Took a couple of boxes of Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta, mixing two types just ’cause that’s what I do.  After they were cooked I threw in four cans of Wolf’s Chili, two with beans and two without and added some red pepper flakes.  Total cost?  hmmm let’s see, pasta was free and they paid me about five bucks to take home the chili, so calculate the damned taxes …

Negative $4.85 including tax?

For one week only, June 12-18, Taco Bell will offer their Crunchwrap Supreme for only .99.  They describe it as a warm, soft, flour tortilla filled with seasoned beef, warm nacho cheese sauce, a crunchy tostada shell, reduced-fat sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes and then wrapped up and grilled for maximum portability.

Saw this on Hip2Save, where she says that these usually go for $2.79.  If that’s the case, well, then eating a few of these qualifies as cheapsake dining.  Enjoy…

And this, sadly enough, is what FIRSTBORN watches in the wee hours of the night – Russian Dancing Men. And yet another one.   I guess it’s a break from Organic Chemistry…
