Mushroom Festival-$2
September 9, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
Did you know the Mushroom Festival is this weekend? Well, it is! And it’s only $2 to get in, 12 and under is free. They’re calling for spectacular weather on Saturday, will be a great day for it. Friday night is the parade, starts at 7.
Ok, of course with all the food and vendors there, you’ll probably spend more than $2. But it’s such a great local attraction. It’s rated by many magazines and TV shows to be one of the Top 5 Food Festivals in this country. Did you know that some mushrooms have been scientifically proven to reduce cancer? Come learn that and more at the events this weekend.
Hope to see you there!
Locals-Val Pak & Clipper coupons
August 17, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
Wait! It’s not always strictly junk mail! At least glance through it before you toss it.
There are a few coupons in these packets/magazines that I’ll use. In the Clipper magazine, there’s a whole page of Concord Pet coupons. I always look for these, seeing as I have three 100-lb dogs to feed. Even if I only save $5 here & there, it’s something. But this month, there’s a coupon in there for $0.75 suet cakes. I’ve never seen suet cheaper than that, and provided I can find a way to store it, I will get the limit of 48. But mice always get into mine in the winter. Even in airtight containers. I really enjoy feeding the wild birds and suet brings a much nicer assortment than seed alone.
And the Rubinstein’s coupons are back in Val Pak! Yay! I don’t think there were in there last year at back to school time, or maybe I just missed them. But they have a free ream of paper with purchase and many other small bts items free with purchase. In the past I’ve been able to do it all as one purchase–not have to do a $12 purchase for the paper, then another $10 for the index cards, etc. I’ve been allowed to only make one $12 purchase and get all the freebies. This is usually the time that I evaluate my coupon binders & see if they need updating or check my son’s school’s wishlist and get few items from that.
E-coupons, email coupons, sign ups, etc.

You’ve probably noticed by now that many coupon websites online require you to register prior to printing the coupon. I keep a separate junk email account just for this purpose. Signing up for these things generates tons of spam sometimes, though I’ve never gotten a virus or annoying pop-ups from signing up. Even if it doesn’t generate spam, they’ll send you ads all the time, and occasionally coupons. It also will generate more junk snail mail. When I have to put my name & address somewhere, I use different variations. I may not capitalize anything, and may only use my first initials–that way when the junk mail comes to the house, if it’s addressed to LL rather than Lisa, I know that it’s junk mail that was just generated by signing up for offers. I only use my real first and last name for regular business like bills and stuff. Interestingly, I just started receiving 2 magazines over the summer-Glamour and Parenting, both come to the house addressed to LL. I’ve never paid for them. Somehow, somewhere, in junk mail marketing la la land, someone thought I needed free magazine subscriptions.
