The 04/12 Amazon Fresh ad has a coupon for 10% off a $50 order if you’re a Prime member. While nothing jumps out at me, this is a holiday week, so if they know you’re shopping anyway, they don’t need to offer discounts 🙂

Costco 97 cent clam chowder clearance
You heard that right! The Naperville Costco on Ogden has tons of Buy By 4/5 clam and corn chowder for only 97¢! I bought 18, will warm a few now and refrigerate and freeze the rest. Just think how wonderful it will taste thawed with potato chunks added. Yum!
Saw this on a Jewel FB group I belong to; if you’re interested, here’s the link.
Retro River North Walking Tour
Take the Retro River North Walking Tour on Groupon for less. On this tour, you will get to see several establishments and their amazing vintage signs and vintage neon signs. Plus along the way I will show and tell you all about many notable properties like I always do. It’s hard to walk past a historical place and not include it on the tour – even though they may not have a vintage sign they are still as much a part of Chicago’s history. You’ll get a brief history of each establishment for a true time travel experience.
Sounds like a fun time!

Here’s the Consumer Reports Newsletter I received today.
Halloween candy corn, Valentine’s Day candy hearts, and now…. Easter Peeps. We promise we’re not trying to ruin all of your candy-filled holidays, but you deserve to know what’s in your food, especially special holiday ‘treats’ that are marketed for kids.
So when you’re stocking up to fill those Easter baskets this week, know that pink and purple Peeps contain Red Dye 3, a known carcinogen.
This color additive has been banned in cosmetics sold in the U.S. for more than 30 years, but the FDA still allows it to be used in food – and it is in many candy and treats that are marketed to children. Consumer Reports is pushing the FDA to ban this dye in all food products like the European Union does, but right now we are calling on the company that makes Peeps to commit to ending the use of Red Dye 3 in its products.
Join us by pushing the company that makes Peeps to stop using Red Dye 3! By speaking out together we can put real pressure on companies to use less risky alternative colorants, instead of waiting for the FDA to act.
Thanks to so many of you taking action, we are getting industry and the government’s attention on this long-neglected problem. Since the early 1980s, the FDA had evidence that Red Dye No. 3 caused cancer in laboratory animals, prompting the agency to ban the dye in cosmetics. The FDA said it would work to ban it in food as well – but it never acted.
Today, we’re delivering a petition to the FDA signed by nearly 35,000 consumers to enact the Red Dye 3 ban ASAP. And we’re pushing to pass a bill in California that would ban the dye in all food sold there – which would effectively change the U.S. food marketplace if passed.
But companies can act more quickly than the government. Especially if customers put on the pressure and demand change! Join our petition to the maker of Peeps to get Red Dye 3 out of its candy. Families deserve better!
If you have friends and family with children, please share this email with them so they can be aware of the risk, and join with you in taking action.

Silicone ice cube cylinder – neato!
Saw this on Twitter and was intrigued! I don’t use ice very often, so having valuable freezer space dominated by large ice trays isn’t gonna happen – FirstBorn’s complaints notwithstanding :). This I could see. Small, round and easy to remove the cubes. Oh, and it’s only $7.99 over on Amazon.
