Social media is now in on this! Facebook has groups that are very similar to craigslist. In my opinion things move a lot faster and for some reason seeing a first and last name along with a picture makes it feel somewhat safer and no spam. <br />
<br />
Beaver County Area FB Kids Flea Market-This site is for buying and selling kids items, must be willing to travel to Beaver county. There is a Pittsburgh one but I like the Beaver county one better!<br />
Beaver County Area Misc. FB Flea Market-This one is for everything else but kid stuff! <br />
<br />
By selling things on the sites listed above I have easily made over $200....which went to my kid's Christmas :) I also scored some amazing deals and met some great people! Double bonus!Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-36698930182478076382012-01-02T22:10:00.000-05:002012-01-02T22:10:07.423-05:00It's time to start Christmas shopping!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>YES!!! </em>I said it's time to start Christmas shopping! It will be here before you know it :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This time of the year is the best time to take advantage of the clearance at all your local stores, maybe buy some stocking stuffers, stuff to make goodie bags for your child's class, decorations....the list goes on and on!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Target has a bunch of things still in their clearance sections. I was there today and scored tubs of sprinkles for 30 cents each. I got a new wreath for my door for about $7. Tissue paper for 60 cents. Starbucks instant holiday blend coffee for $2.99 (this is pretty yummy btw)!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">At Walmart today a lot of things are still just 50% off but some stuff like candy is 75% off. I managed to get a Hello Kitty bubble bath decanter for $3.75....originally $15. I also got my 11 yr old a stocking stuffer of perfume and a teddy bear for $1.25. They had hot chocolate gift boxes with mugs, graham crackers, hot chocolate mix and marshmallows for $2! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Also, I am sure I will be posting more on this at a later date but keep your eye out for Target's HUGE toy clearance! At Monaca's Target they have moved all the toys to one aisle but they are only 30% off....I will wait until they are 75% before I start my shopping for my girls. <br />
<br />
One idea is to make a list of who you have to buy for and what their age will be when you need a present. Think Easter baskets, birthday presents, Christmas and any other time where a toy is appropriate! Since I shop year round and buy things on clearance I am able to spoil my girls without totally breaking the bank. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So far for next Christmas I have tissue paper, wrapping paper, sprinkles for my baking, things for goodie bags for my daughter's class (Morgan will be in kindergarten! eeek!) stocking stuffers, a present for my daughter, paper plates, and I am sure there is some things I am forgetting! </span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-89415460853144983462012-01-01T08:46:00.000-05:002012-01-01T08:46:26.668-05:00Happy New Year!!<strong><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy New Year!!!!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">I know I have been MIA for awhile, but I am hoping to help you save money in 2012! Every year one of my resolutions is to find ways to save my family money. Hopefully, we can come up with some creative ways that my family won't notice! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Stay tuned, more to come! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">*If you haven't already, go to Target and stock up on wrapping paper and supplies for next Christmas, most stores are at least 70% off!*</span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-29883206868179736722011-07-10T21:03:00.000-04:002011-07-10T21:03:03.772-04:00Target Toy Clearance!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I absolutely love Target! It is my weakness, which is why I try not to go there too often. Even with the best of intentions, a list, my coupons paired up, I almost always find more things I can't live without when I go there. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Twice a year, Target has a spectacular toy clearance....I mean it guys it's AWESOME! You already missed the first one of the year (or maybe you didn't, if so post your good deals!) but the second one for the year should be happening any time now!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Currently most stores have a lot of toys marked 30% off, these will go down to 50% off and then down to 75% off....and maybe a few to 90% but that's pushing it! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have little girls so I do not pay much attention to boy toys but I know they usually have a bunch of things for both! Last year I got a Leap Frog alphabet ball for like $6, a TAG reader for around $10, Fisher Price little mommy set (retails $50 regularly) for $12. My basement has Christmas presents ready for my niece, and all 3 of my daughters. Now, don't get me wrong I still have to buy them other things!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Some of you may be saying, "Lori I can't think that far ahead" or "How do I know what my kid's will like at Christmastime" well you have a point. It is far ahead but seriously Christmas will be here before we know it....and while you may not know what the hottest toy on the market will be in December, you generally know if your child likes Polly Pockets, Zhu Zhu's (which will probably be like $2) Barbies, Lego's, or whatever. For example, my youngest is only 15 months...she really doesn't have any interests at the moment. Unless you count opening my kitchen cupboards and chewing on sponges! So I plan to buy her toys that a general 2 year old girl will like. Dolls, blocks, puzzles....those kinds of things. But in my head I will plan on buying her maybe 2 more items closer to Christmas. This way I won't overspend but still have scored some amazing deals! (Yes I plan to score awesome deals on the 1 yr old's presents since I have a feeling the 10 yr old and 4 yr old will be breaking the bank with their wants this year!!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I will keep you posted when I see that it is hitting the Pittsburgh area...plan to go the day that happens to have a good selection! People fill up several carts during this time, be prepared....and BE NICE! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Keep your eye on <a href="http://www.totallytarget.com/">Totally Target</a>'s website since I am sure she will be more in the know than me!</span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-54565437208282449952011-07-05T19:56:00.000-04:002011-07-05T19:56:13.383-04:00Deals beginning July 7th<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My coupon binder is out in my car, but here is the deals I am spotting.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Giant Eagle</span></strong><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Honestly not much else pops out at me. I will be checking my yogurt coupons with the sales, but I am pretty stocked on yogurt!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Chicken breasts 4/$20</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Eckrich Meat Franks Buy One get 2 FREE. (If you can use 3 coupons this will rock!)</span><br />

Hope you find something that excites you! </span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-85501157925874916072011-06-27T20:16:00.000-04:002011-06-27T20:16:55.524-04:00Check out your library!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A free thing to do as a family is to head to the library! Check out books and dvd's, enjoy story hour and my own personal fave....sift through the coupon exchange box! I am not sure if all libraries have these, but the Chippewa one in Beaver county does. Last year when I was on maternity leave, the girls and I would head there for an afternoon activity. They would play with the puppets and look for books, and I would sit and look through coupons! I found a ton of useful coupons there and also brought in ones I wouldn't be using. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Next time you are at the library check and see if they have one, or if they would consider having one! Can't hurt to ask!</span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-89900411290357296482011-06-27T20:05:00.000-04:002011-06-27T20:05:10.045-04:00SaveMore.com<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am doing my daily check in with my favorite blogs. My most recent favorite is <a href="http://www.afewshortcuts.com/">A Few ShortCuts</a>. Today she had a link to <a href="http://svmr.co/-4-c">SaveMore dot com</a> and if you sign up you get a $10 credit. Today they have 2 pack of snap bracelet watches......which is cheap stocking stuffers for my girls! Yay! My 10 year old will love this and the extra one I can either give to my 4 year old, or save for a birthday party! I always love to attach something small to give with a gift card!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">One way to save money is to buy items when you spot a good deal, but also with a certain occasion in mind. Currently in my basement I have a few Christmas presents for my girls, plus gifts I can use if we're invited to a party for another little girl.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">*Keep your eye on Target, usually in July they will mark down a ton of toys and you can start doing your Christmas shopping! (They also do a huge clearance in January!)*</span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-34745790045748874182011-06-24T20:06:00.000-04:002011-06-24T20:06:58.286-04:00Cheap way to unclog drains!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One way to save money is to try and use items you already have whenever possible! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In our basement tonight I was greeted with a lovely backed up drain.....blech! I remembered a good friend told me to use Cola when you have a clogged drain. Luckily for me, I had some Diet Pepsi in my fridge leftover from a birthday party! I poured it down the drain and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then I poured boiling water down the drain...worked like a charm!</span><br />

I usually do my couponing in my spare time after my girls are in bed and lately that has been pretty late at night! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here's some things I am looking forward to buying at Giant Eagle this week:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Fruit and Veggies-I will be buying these at either Shop N Save this week or Aldi's....the prices in the ad do not impress me AT ALL!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Giant Eagle pasta 10 for $10 and if you buy 10 you get an extra 10 cent fuel perks! (Not the best price for pasta but we need more so I am just going to stock up)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Edy's Ice Cream is 2 for $6.00 and if you spend $12 you get $4 OYNO. I plan on buying 4, using two $1.00 off coupons and getting the $4 back. It's about $1.50 a carton. (again not the best price but cheaper than Brusters!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Healthy choice meals 5 for $10, I have an internet printable (which Lady Savings will probably give the link with her match-ups) for $1.00/2 so $1.50 each!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Colgate toothpaste and toothbrushes-They are on sale for 2/$3 again, if you have 0.75/1 coupons they will be free. Not sure if there is any out right now, but I have enough toothpaste for a long time!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Chi-Chi's salsa $1.00 (after coupon)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Chi-Chi's tortillas $1.00 (after coupon)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Ballpark and Hebrew National franks on sale for BOGO, there are coupons for both brands out there, could make for a good deal!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Eckrich Smoked Sausage on sale for $3.50, use .55/1 coupon $2.40 (not a bad price)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Honestly I am not too impressed. Luckily for me, we're pretty stocked up and I was hoping to not spend alot this week! I think that goal will be accomplished!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Last weekend I decided to try and buy enough stuff for 2 weeks worth of meals. Hopefully I can be at about $30 this week just buying a few fresh veggies, and a few deals I think are stock up worthy!</span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-874945020942543192011-05-24T20:29:00.000-04:002011-05-24T20:29:58.718-04:00Walgreen's through Saturday!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week at Walgreens you can get free contact solution and pony tail holders! </span><br />

If you did then you can yourself 2 FREEBIES!! Even if you wouldn't normally buy these products for FREE wouldn't you get them to try or donate?! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Both of these deals are at Rite Aid:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Tylenol Precise is on sale for $5.00 and there was a $5.00 coupon, you pay nothing but tax.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Carefree liners-again after coupon it's FREE!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I didn't notice any other great deals at Rite Aid this week but hopefully there will be next week. In the coming weeks, I expect there to be lots of sunscreen and razor deals! </span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-19280517795314559852011-05-11T20:57:00.000-04:002011-05-13T16:52:54.959-04:00Giant Eagle 5-12<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tomorrow starts the new cycle of sales at Giant Eagle, the prices will run until next Wednesday. I did my own personal match-ups and not too much is impressing me this week. Make sure you head over to Giant Eagle's website and load up on the e-offers. My suggestion you do this several hours or even the day before you plan to shop. Sometimes the e-offers don't come off so make sure you watch the screen during check out!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This deal has me interested, and I plan to try it, but I am not sure which products and how many of each I will buy.</span><br />
<br />

They are on sale 5/$20! This is my stock up price for chicken. <br />
<br />
Usually I think Shop N Save is a bit more expensive than Giant Eagle but I am beginning to watch their sale ads so keep your eye out for future deals! Last week I got strawberries for $1.00!Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-67802379204666451412011-05-05T20:42:00.000-04:002011-05-05T20:42:49.238-04:00Walgreens<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, I have officially entered into the world of Walgreens shopping. I am hooked. Like the other drugstores, they have amazing deals. At first they were intimidating to me since I have heard they have alot of rules. To deal with this I basically play dumb and buddy up to my cashier. They walk me through it and make sure I am getting a good deal. Always, always, ALWAYS be nice to your cashiers :) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This week at Walgreen's (through Saturday)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Noxema razors-You can score these free after a register reward. There was coupons in the red plum we got last week. And, in the packages I bought they had coupons! I hope to get back there this week for more free razors!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Right Guard body wash is on sale for BOGO-use BOGO coupons and get 2 free!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Flosser (sorry I forget the brand) they are on sale for $2 and you will earn a $2 register reward. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Cottonelle Toilet paper, 12 packs for $5, use 0.50/1 online printables plus the coupons in the store. If you buy 2 in one transaction you will earn a register reward. (I didnt do this deal, but I think I might go and try it, love Cottonelle!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Already looked into next week and check your coupons, if you have the BOGO Clean and Clear body wash coupon you can get 2 FREE! They are having them on BOGO....I am stoked about this! I have been wanting to try this product and you can't get much better than 2 (or in my case hopefully more since I have a few coupons!) FREE!</span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-78885279170953578112011-04-21T20:02:00.000-04:002011-04-21T20:02:49.273-04:00Holiday Weekend=No coupons<span style="font-family: Arial;">If you usually buy your newspaper at the store, save yourself some money and a trip this weekend! Holiday weekends usually do not have coupons, and since there is no coupon previews that means no coupons! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I looked over the Giant Eagle ad and there is not much that impresses me. My two favorite deals are:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Fiber One Yogurt-</strong> On sale for $2, load a $1 e-offer onto your Advantage Card plus use 0.50/1 coupon that was in the paper a few weeks back....FREE!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Scope-</strong> On sale 2 for $6 and if you buy 2 you will receive $2 OYNO, buy 2, use 2 0.75/1 coupons, pay $3.00 and get $2 off your next purchase catalina, like paying 0.50 each!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have shopped at the grocery store 3 times in the past 4 days and <strong><em><u>every</u></em></strong> single time I check out I hear, "Did you hear about that new show called Extreme Couponing?" They seem completely thrown off when I say I have but I don't watch it. Today they even asked if I did The Grocery Game (which I could be wrong but I believe you have to pay money for that site) which I DO NOT belong to. I am not willing to pay money to save money....unless it's for newspapers :) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So when I came home this morning I told my husband I want to get a t-shirt made and it will say, "Yes I know there is a show called Extreme Couponing, and I do not watch it..." LOL </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I love my cashiers lately, they are extremely nice about my stack of coupons, help me with the scenarios to make sure I get the cheapest price and most catalinas. The other day a cashier from the next line over realized I was buying a Twix (kid treat for making through day 2 in a row at the store!) and told my cashier to double check the price since it was scanning for higher. She saved me 19 cents which isn't alot but it meant alot to me that she made sure I got the right price. They also always are nice to me even when I have 3 crazy kids going nuts! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Rochester Giant Eagle....you rock! </span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-74202026644720045372011-04-17T20:22:00.000-04:002011-04-17T20:22:43.127-04:00CVS-Green Bag Tag (free after ECB's)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/images/fs/large/05042815758.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="CVS/pharmacy Green Bag Tag - "Tag your reusable bag" and get $1 ExtraBuck every 4th visit" border="0" src="http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/images/fs/large/05042815758.jpg" title="CVS/pharmacy Green Bag Tag - "Tag your reusable bag" and get $1 ExtraBuck every 4th visit" /></a></div><div align="justify" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CVS has a deal this week where if you buy a Green Bag Tag for 0.99 you will earn 0.99 ECB's (extra care bucks)! As I mentioned before this is a good thing to have for CVS shopping! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The following is directly quoted from <a href="http://www.cvs.com/">http://www.cvs.com/</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: red;">Attach to any reusable bag. Here's how your Green Bag tag works: Attach - Loop around any reusable bag; Scan - Present tag and bag with purchase; Earn - Your $1 Extra Buck prints on your receipt on every fourth visit. To earn Extra Bucks for a transaction in-store, your ExtraCare card, Green Bag Tag, and reusable bag must be presented with purchase at checkout. Limit of one Green Bag Tag use/scan per day per household. Every fourth purchase your Extra Bucks reward will print at the bottom of your cash register receipt as a $1 coupon good for your next purchase. Extra Bucks can be used until the expiration date shown on the coupon. Extra Bucks are not redeemable for alcohol, gift cards, lottery, money orders, prescriptions, postage stamps, pre-paid cards and tobacco products. Extra Bucks can only be used when presented in conjunction with the ExtraCare card associated with the rewards. CVS/pharmacy reserves the right to modify or terminate the Green bag tag program without notice. Green Bag Tag rewards cannot be earned with CVS.com purchases. </span><br />

If you can get Stove Top cheap this week or in the future, I highly suggest you try this!Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775414812652787552.post-84043106583303575512011-04-13T20:24:00.000-04:002011-04-13T20:24:31.001-04:00Get your coupons ready...it's going to be a GIANT week!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Woohoo!! It's going to be a week worth getting excited about at Giant Eagle. All of these deals I mention begin tomorrow. Get your fingers ready to clip some coupons!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The deal I got the most excited about was Mrs. T's pierogies which are on sale 5 for $10 and if you buy 5 you get 1 FREE instantly....but if you use 6 $1.00 off coupons you will get 6 boxes for $4.00.....which means STOCKUP!!! (The 6 for $10 price is not good so do not stock up unless you have coupons) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Another deal I am excited about is actually a money maker. Here's the specifics. Always Pads and Pantyliners, and Tampax are on sale 3 for $8. If you purchase 3 you will earn $3.00 OYNO (catalina coupon that prints during checkout to be used on your next purchase) Deal Idea:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Buy 1 Always pantyliner $2.66</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">use 0.50/1 coupon from I believe the P&G Brandsaver</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">use 0.50/1 GE e-offer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Buy 1 Always Pads</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">use 1.00/1 coupon from P&G</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">use 1.00/1 GE e-offer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Buy 1 Tampax</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">use 1.00/1 coupon from P&G</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">use 1.00/1 e-offer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Pay $2.50 and earn $3.00 off your next purchase....0.50 MONEY MAKER! I am really excited because I actually just got some Always samples and in my samples there is a $2.00/1 always pads so for me it will be $1.50 moneymaker!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Zatarains Rice will be 0.25 a box after coupons...stock up if you have enough coupons!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Certain ice cream products have a spend $12 get $4 off your next purchase catalinas. One of them is Edy's Shakes and Smoothies...which there is coupons for $1/2 in this weeks Red Plum. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Deal Idea: Buy 10 Edy's Shakes or Smoothies (12.50) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Use 5 $1/2 coupons</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Pay $7.50 get $4 OYNO which equals 0.35/piece! (my kids will love me and my coupons this week!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Dole canned pineapple will be 2 for $1.00 after coupon (I never really buy canned fruit but I am thinking this might be a good buy) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Dial soap is 10 for $10...but if you have the 0.35/1 coupon for a few weeks back it will be $0.30! I am stocking up!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Stove Top-if you printed an internet printable from a few weeks back and have not used it yet, this week is meant for you! It's out of prints for those of you would didn't. After coupon Stove Top is 0.50! (I love making little mini meatloafs using Stovetop!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Please head over to <a href="http://www.ladysavings.com/">Lady Savings</a> to view all the matchups along with links to internet printables. I only mentioned a few deals I plan on doing but if all goes as planned I should get 70 items for $65.09 plus have money off my next purchase!</span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17832482541671676401noreply@blogger.com0
