Much Ado About Nothing, written by William Shakespeare directed by Melanie Keller. Love is in the air when triumphant soldiers return from battle, oblivious that another kind of war is about to begin at home. Benedick, a solider and confirmed bachelor, is thrown into a battle of wit and words with the acid-tongued Beatrice – and though they resist it, the magnetic attraction between them grows stronger with every argument. Meanwhile, Benedick’s friend Claudio is head-over-heels for Hero, and they will soon be wed. Everyone’s world is shattered when Claudio, influenced by a scheming malcontent, levels a shocking accusation at Hero. Who is to be believed? Can true love defeat “fake news”?  Pay only $17.50 for tickets from Goldstar for performance dates throughout the month of August.

Scan and go groceries with coupons?

When Amazon opened its first cashierless Amazon Go store last year, it seemed revolutionary – to a point. The idea that cameras could watch the items you select from the shelves and an app would automatically charge your account without requiring you to scan your items and check out, is certainly groundbreaking. But Amazon Go stores are tiny, they only sell convenience-store-type items, and they don’t accept traditional manufacturer’s coupons. Could this type of technology work on a larger scale, at a full-sized grocery store – one that sells everything you need, and accepts coupons too?

need wet wipes?

In Chicago we got the 75¢ Kleenex on wipes and there’s a 50¢ Ibotta  (limit 5), so if it’s something you like/need/want, either buy them at Jewel or Walgreens for $1.99 each except Walgreens has them on a BOGO 50% off promotion.  Obviously the better deal, but I was at Jewel and it was raining …  Coupon reads limit one per purchase with no wording on transaction limits but lots of threats if you sell, auction, photocopy, etc.  Target has these for $1.29 normally, but I wasn’t about to drive there in the rain to find out they were OOS – they also have that limit 4 policy.   Time is worth something you know.
