    6 free 2-liters of pepsi product when purchased at Lucky's (Calf.?)

    I received 6 coupons - each for a free 2-liter of pepsi products exp. 10/31 - when we visited Calif. last week. It is good for use at "Lucky's". I'll mail them to the first person to pm me.

    6 FREE 2-Liter coupons for "Lucky" (Got them at an Oakland A's game)

    I have 6 coupons (expire 10/31/09), each for a free 2-liter from Pepsi redeemable at Lucky (which I am guessing is a grocery store chain). We were given them at an Oakland A's game last week when we were vacationing. Now we are home and there are no Luckys around. I'll mail them to the first...

    Couponers......do you keep them alphabetically or by category?

    A friend made me a ring binder (with baseball card holder sheets) organized by our local grocery store's (Kroger) aisles. Kroger is the only place in town that doubles coupons. I didn't think I would like it but I really do! I walk down each aisle and see what I have coupons for and what's on...

    Tips for a Fundraiser

    A student organization sponsored a Parents' Night Out (once at a local church and once at a dorm rec room). The cost seemed to be limited to snacks, crafts, and a movie. I think they were for 4 hours (enough for the parents to go to dinner and a movie) and the charge was $10 or $15 per child.

    Angle Food Ministries

    Here's another :thumbsup2 for Angel Food. We have been doing it for almost 3 years now. I think it is a great way to stretch your food budget. Some months are better than others for our family. Our pick up church has a place to donate any food items that your family won't eat and then donates...

    good CC to pay off monthly

    We have a Citicard Hilton Honors card. It is GREAT for earning free nights. We really like Hampton Inns and you can earn free nights VERY quickly. We use our card for gas and clothes and an occasional large charge (car repair, etc.) and we pay it off every month. We earn at least 5-7 free nights...

    Gave something to someone for free, now they are selling it?

    Perhaps you could say to your co-worker -- "How does you daughter like the TV? If you didn't find a use for it, we could find another good home for it."

    Going to Mt. Rushmore-- WE'RE BACK! Day 5 is up!! page 10 Final Day!

    IMO, Mt. Rushmore looks like the pictures. We were bored and won't be going back. However, we loved the Badlands and Badland National Park.

    Washington D.C. I need your help!

    HI, didn't have a chance to read the entire thread but I highly recommend the night-time monument trolley tour. We went with dh, myself, ds9 and ds12. We had a blast - SO COOL! We also stayed in a hotel and took the metro everywhere - very easy - even for small-town folk like us.

    I am so disgusted...how can I use this situation to teach my kids about $$/life, etc?

    Whoa people -- I guess I should have put on a flame retardant suit before posting! I said it was a vent! Some of your responses were helpful, thanks. Actually, many of you made some wrong assumptions. First, that my kids are greedy and constantly consumed with who is and isn't giving them gifts...

    Those "family" bragging Christmas newsletters

    Ah yes, now I remember why I usually don't post on the community board.... These letters are actually quite funny and I am able to work-in our families activities and accomplishments in a creative way without sounding too braggy. I often have people call and tell me how much they enjoyed that...

    Those "family" bragging Christmas newsletters

    I happen to be a fan of these letters. I always try to make ours creative, funny, and only one sheet of paper with normal font. For those of you who like to write them here are some of the formats I've done over the last few years: *one year we got a new kitten and I wrote the entire letter...
