Hot Bic Coupon

Make sure that you print the Bic $1/2 coupon. This will score you free pens or very cheap Bic products. coupons.com Next week Target will have Bic pens on sale for $1/2 so that's free pens with this coupon. I will not be buying them at Target because I am still boycotting them. However I will be taking the Target ad to Walmart and price matching!

Thats all. Yesterday there was only 6 sales listed in the paper and Craigslist. However I found at least 10 more that weren't listed. But for today there was only 2 sales listed, so I didn't go. It wasn't worth the gas nor the time. I have never seen so few sales during July. Last week was hot, but not this week. Next week it suppose to be hot again so if the heat has anything to do with it, there won't be many sales! I hope not.

Sargento shredded cheese $2.50 and I had a $.55/1 coupon from All You magazine. Spent $40 and saved $29.

I haven't had a lot of time for couponing. Our Sunday inserts are terrible. They are so thin. I don't think we get half the coupons other areas do. I haven't been watching or printing alot of coupons from www.coupons.com Now with the auction and Iola over with I will hopefully have more time for coupons and sales.

How? Why??

I couldn't believe what I was hearing while watching GMA this morning, about an 8 year old boy in New York City that had gone missing. In a blink of an eye his life changed and his parents are feeling unimaginable pain. I'm glad they found out quickly what happened to their adorable little boy. My prayers go out to them. I hope having his abduction was caught on tape which helped find the animal that kidnapped and killed this young boy will deter others from doing the same thing. You never know when big brother is watching!!! Just seeing this video over again is making feel sick. How can someone do this to a child? I want to cry for him and his parents. I will hug my own children today... and everyday.

Summer Rental by Mary Kay Andrews Review

I can't believe it's July 13th. I have been so crazy busy. I also can't believe a week ago tonight we had our first night at Iola. It was cool Thursday but Friday and Saturday it was crazy hot. We came home Saturday night as most of the vendors left early. On Sunday I cleaned the camper to get it ready for this weekend as my husband has a fishing tournament this coming weekend. I did many loads of wash. Sunday night we met with the auctioneer. My mom got her money and finally the auction is over. I've been working on Ebay because things are selling very very well in my store and things are starting to move again on ebay.

I then started reading Summer Rental on Tuesday because it's due back on Thursday. Its a long book to have finished in 2 days. But it is a very good book. It's about 3 long time girl friends that rent a beach house on the Outer Banks. They are 3 women at are ready for a change in life and in direction. They meet a new friend who join them for the month in the beach house. Two find new love and a third commits to a long time love. And finally another escapes a dangerous relationship which endangers the other women. The book is good, however how different is it from other chick books written lately... not much.
