Between 9/9/2013 and 10/6/2013, you can save up to $1.50 OYNO when you buy Campell’s Go Soup. Buy 2 get $1, BUY 3 or more (or more? hahahaha), get $1.50 coupon good on your next shopping order. PITA found this alert at Jewel.
Now let’s hope for some great sales and coupons (no current coupons), because I love the Coconut Curry one!

Both Lombard and Downers Grove Ultra locations are out of PG&J and issuing rain checks – Lombard gives out limit 4 per person. And I just don’t see the point of driving to a whole lot of stores for more rain checks! If any of you are holding rain checks (or will be hitting up a store in the next couple of hours), and need any of the $1/2 coupons for either Planters or Welch’s, contact me because I still have a few to share. Obviously this will be on a first come basis.
This AP article appeared on the Yahoo Finance page today.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Consumer products maker Procter & Gamble is recalling some of its dry food for dogs and cats due to possible salmonella contamination.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
Procter & Gamble Co. said that the recalled products include certain Eukanuba foods for both puppies and adult dogs, and some Iams puppy and adult dog foods and kitten and adult cat foods. The products were made during a 10-day window at a single manufacturing site.
For a list of the specific types of food recalled, visit www.eukanuba.com or www.iams.com. To read the entire article, click here. I’ve tried to locate more information on the sites listed, but I can’t find anything after 2007 (when all those pets died) – I’d advise calling the P&G 800-208-0172 number for more information.
yeah, yeah, we know it expires today – – well, that isn’t the topic of today’s lesson: I’ve now heard from two readers who got shut out of using the code when they purchased a deal.
If you have a default payment method on your account and there is something wrong (maybe a card expired) or you choose another form of payment instead (switching to Paypal, for instance), you think you’re getting the 30% off because, after all, you entered CELEBRATE30 in the promo code box, right? Well, no. Turns out that once you go to the change payment method page, the codes are all wiped out and you should cancel the deal and start over.
This is something I didn’t know and if frankly, pisses me off because the discount only appears at the end. So my advice would be to take the long road home and don’t set any default payment methods (I’m guilty of being lazy like this, too).
But yeah, don’t forget that this is the last day for this 30% off code – that’s a huge discount.

Here is what this means for you:
Thank you for using Endorse and for supporting the company over the past two years. We will miss having the opportunity to help you and your families. We wish you all the best.
Read about this earlier in the day, but since the varieties were ones that hadn’t been deeply discounted recently, I didn’t bother to post. On the off-chance that some of you are buying retail, here it is. Oh, and in case you were wondering…I don’t have ANY friggin’ pizza!
Four varieties of California Pizza Kitchen and DiGiorno frozen pizzas are being recalled after some customers found small fragments of plastic.
The voluntary recall by Nestle; USA includes California Pizza Kitchen Crispy thin crust white pizza, California Pizza Kitchen limited edition grilled chicken with cabernet sauce, DiGiorno crispy flatbread pizza Tuscan style chicken and DiGiorno pizzeria! Bianca/white pizza.
Nestle believes the plastic is tied to a certain bunch of spinach it received from a supplier. No other types of pizza from these brands are affected by the recall.
All the pizzas included in the recall were made in February and March. Nestle said it’s currently removing all the pizzas from grocery stores.
Those that already bought the pizzas can call Nestle customer service at (800) 456-4394 or [email protected] for further instructions. Nestle said it will provide a coupon for a replacement.
A serious post here! Got a letter a month or so ago from the IRS regarding the 2010 tax year (yeah, I guess they’re a little behind) – apparently we owed thousands of dollars because the education credit wasn’t supported by the 1099-T. WTF? I called a couple of times and finally got a human who told me that Box 1 wasn’t completed, only Box 2. Box 1 is where they put in what you paid and box 2 is what they billed. Well, obviously they wouldn’t be graduating anyone without payment being made, but apparently it’s very common with schools. Something about not wanting to pay the accountants to figure out that the bills were actually paid. yeah, that’s what i thought, too.
What we needed to do was go to the school and request a Summary of Account, which would list all the amounts billed and paid for that 2010 year…which we did. In the meantime, I’d completely forgotten what I was supposed to say or do with this form, so I turned to the helpful IRS website and the actual paperwork mailed to me (THREE COPIES!). The forms mailed all talked about filing a petition with the Tax Court ($60), which sure didn’t ring any bells; I’m pretty sure I would have remembered that part. And the IRS website? let’s just not go there.
So I called the 800 number on the letter – – – and waited 47 minutes before a human answered. Wiped down the dining room and living room floors and straightened out both rooms, too! Agent there basically told me the same thing about that 1099-T: He gets at least a call a day. I just had to fax a cover letter with the Account Summary and should be good to go.
I’m doing this post as a warning for all those who have dependents in college – check that both boxes have been completed on the 1099-T. Had I known it was incomplete, I would have had FirstBorn hustle over there to get a complete form (and trust me, he WOULD have gotten it). From now on I’m gonna check every friggin’ line on these things.
Pretty smart to include an insert in what is traditionally an insert-free holiday newspaper – P&G is the insert we need the whole month, so the newspapers will still get their ad revenue ’cause we need to buy it!
So happy, happy One-Insert Sunday, which will either appease or insult the various religious factions…
