I was only going to check out the skirt steak – honest! Ended up with: 6 Scott tp ($1 ip); 4 Pure Protein bars ($1 ip); CC cranberry/ walnut bread ($3 store cat); 2 pkgs skirt steak ($4 and $3 off in clearance stickers); 4 Porterhouse steaks ($16 off in clearance stickers and 2 BOGOs on top of the butcher case). Used a $4/40 found in cart and 2 $5 RRs. Total OOP was $1.36.
maybe i should feel the luv at dominicks…
Here is a link to a free roll of any Scott product, bath tissue (fancy-schmancy toilet paper) or towel. Bottom right hand link says Scotts Natural, but what prints is a generic $1 coupon. Soooooo, single roll of Scotts for free! Print one, hit back and you’ve got two. Thanks to OP on CW, who picked them up at Jewel.
And while you’re at Jewel picking that up, how about a couple of free protein bars? Click here, print, hit back and two $1 coupons. The .99 sale ends at Jewel (today?), so hurry on over. I just remembered that the magic coupon machine at CVS spit out a BOGO Pure Protein Bar coupon, sooooo 2 free! Even better (or worse, depending on how these taste).
WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the Transportation Security Administration is acknowledging that the new pat-downs are more invasive than what travelers were used to in the past. [unless they’re used to naked Twister or Hide the Weinie party games]
TSA administrator John Pistole says he has received the new pat-down, as has his boss, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
Some travelers complain that the new inspections target sensitive body areas. Pistole says he understands those privacy concerns, but says the government must provide the best possible security for air travelers. [so the way to catch the next shoe/foot bomber is to have a TSA toe-sucker]
Pistole was testifying before a Senate committee about TSA policies and procedures. The hearing was scheduled before the recent outrage about airport security pat-downs.
So maybe normal people should just start taking trains and let the pervs fly all they want. Can you imagine the delight of the creepy old guy on Family Guy? He’d be taking short hops all around the country for quick gropes.
Well, maybe not the last, but they’re definitely rarer than hen’s teeth! At every Wags store that received a shipment today, not one got Sinex – even stores that told me they were ordering extra cases. Bad news for us, but there’s still a few suburbs I haven’t yet hit! If we’re SOL this week, plan on hitting them hard on the week of the 28th. The 2/$10 deal will be back on, the coupons expire on the 30th and the RR is a monthly deal. At some point we have to score, peeps!
<- homemade sauerkraut – do it yourself and avoid jailtime
A Palos Hills woman faces a charge of retail theft after police say she attempted to steal everything from sauerkraut to a stereo from a Bolingbrook Meijer on Sunday. And yet another news article straight out of the Nutjobs on Parade section of the Tribune.
Shopkick is a phone app that gives you points for buying, scanning, or even just walking into a store. Just search and download for kickbucks. The following excerpt is from an article on TechCrunch:
After announcing a partnership with Best Buy a few months ago, Shopkick
is debuting a new implementation of its geo-coupon system at Target today. Users can now unlock coupons via Shopkick’s app in 242 stores in the Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York City, and San Francisco/Silicon Valley markets.
Instead of checking in, as you would with a geo app like Foursquare or Gowalla, shopkick automatically recognizes when someone with the free shopkick app on their phone walks into a store. When guests enter a participating Target store, they will receive points, called “kickbucks.” Guests also can scan select product barcodes in-store to earn additional “kickbucks.”
You can then use “kickbucks” to redeem Target GiftCards. Users of the app will also receive instant scannable mobile coupons just for entering Target (the coupons can be scanned and redeemed at checkout). The retailers says that offers will be extended to a variety of products, including food, cleaning supplies, electronics and toys.
Target joined today, which really sucks because I cannot download the app to my iPhone because I am using a jailbroke iPhone on TMobile and can’t upgrade to a newer version (currently running 3.0.1) without totally screwing things up.
If anyone has any suggestions for me on the iPhone issue (note that getting a Google phone or switching to AT&T is not an option), please email me from the contact me tab.
Well, of course she was busted… double-busted … More great news from the child-friendly home front. Here’s the weird part – I just drove past this motel on the way to/from SuperTarget. How come I miss all the fun? Click here to read the article.
wonder if she got her toys free from the National Sex Toy Giveaway?
Since Rachel (MUM) seems to be cornering the market on scam posts, I thought I’d chime in with this one:
As my son commented, “I didn’t know Kia had so much money to give away!”

Most of you are probably aware of the BzzAgent site. It’s word-of-mouth advertising where they offer deals, etc. to get the word out about various and sundry things. I’ve also read on other sites about the Ebates program where you get paid cash back for shopping online at places you’d normally shop – Land’s End, Target, Sears, Home Depot. Never bothered to sign up for this, but today I received an email with a bonus offer when you make your first purchase of $50. Since there’s no fee to sign up, whether I use this or not, I’ll still be OK. If I do order some holiday gifts, I get the extra $5 bonus (normal sign up is $10).
If you’re interested, click here and sign up.
I’m posting this ’cause it bothers me on so many levels…
By now I sure you’ve all heard/read about the 17 year old Bolingbrook teen who drove his SUV into an apartment in the middle of the night and killed the woman sleeping in her bed [if you’ve been under a rock, click here]. There are so many things wrong with this story that I wouldn’t even know how to list them: teen is in this country illegally, but works part-time; doesn’t attend high school; doesn’t speak English; has no drivers license; had a blood alcohol level of .204. If the car is his, how did a 17 year old come up with the cashola to buy this -I can’t even imagine a company loaning money to a 17 year old illegal who works part time (unless it’s a sub-prime car loan company). And if the car wasn’t his, well, then, who loans a car to an unlicensed driver? ’cause let’s face it, if you’re close enough to a person to loan out your car, you’re close enough to know the SOB doesn’t have a license. Obviously there are even more things to get upset about but let’s start with those.
Where did he get the booze? An alcohol level that high and he’s still able to walk, talk and drive? Doesn’t that mean he drinks frequently and has a higher tolerance? One glass of wine and I start yawning, so I’m maybe not the person to ask, but still… Isn’t there a curfew for those under 18? And someone commented that you have to have a licensed driver with you if you’ve been driving less than a year, but if he never bothered with the license in the first place, that one’s out the window!
And his parents? Don’t they have some responsibility for this? Oh, wait, if he’s illegal, then his mother is possibly also illegal – but wait, she works for a hotel. And some news articles mention the mother’s boyfriend. So many questions, so few answers…
