    Living with the Land REFURB

    Living with the Land reopened on October 4. Not sure if anyone else has posted a report yet, so I'll add what I can. I asked a castmember what had changed, and she said that the rainforest scene was "more colorful." I can't remember the original scene specifically enough to tell you the...

    Will GM or Chrysler going under affect you?

    I will be out of a job if one of the companies goes out of business, and maybe if either goes bankrupt if the effect on the joint suppliers causes the remaining auto companies to go bankrupt. I'm very scared for Michigan and the U.S. auto industry. Every day, my coworkers fear for their...

    When Target 90%

    The Dearborn, MI store was still 75% off today, but there were still aisles of Christmas items left, mostly wrap, bags, trees, ornaments, etc. Also found tons of the hidden 75% off items (3 pack Scotch GiftWrap tape, Burt's Bees Lip Stash Pack Classic, Burts Bees Lip Stash Pack Mixed, and...

    Walgreens photo deal- $5 for package

    YMMV means Your Mileage May Vary. In other words, some Walgreens are saying you can mix poses others are saying just one pose.

    Any car rental discounts for Mid Jan 09?

    Thank you so much for the codes. I was able to get a midsize car from Alamo with the 428448 code for about half the price they were originally quoting. Plus we got the free additional driver and that was worth 9.99/day. My whole family says "Thanks!"

    Homemade Holiday Presents! Lets help each other! Ideas WANTED!

    My sister is going to be overseas for the next few months, so I was trying to think of something very small that she could take with her to open on Christmas day. My solution was a usb drive loaded with lots of electronic goodies (e-books, christmas music, family photos, downloadable games, a...

    Would you buy a new car right now?

    Whatever you buy, buy American! The country's current economic woes might not be quite so bad if we just supported our own products. That being said, you should be able to find some great deals right now, most of the American car companies, including Chrysler, are offering large cash...

    San Diego zoo discounts?

    Costco sells a discounted ticket online. I think it's $6 off their Best Value Pass and includes an extra day for free. If you plan to also go to Disneyland and Universal or Sea World, you might also want to look at the Southern California City Pass. Costco also sells that at a substantial...

    Best ways to save money AT Disneyworld?

    You can get table-service at counter service prices by eating in the pub portion of the Rose & Crown restaurant at EPCOT. Get there early (i.e. when it opens) to reserve a table though. The fish and chips might be large enough to feed two people or at least an adult and a child and it only...

    Post 75% (or better) clearance sales here!

    World Market (formerly Cost Plus) has 75% off ornaments and decorations. They have some very cute ornaments marked down to 50 - 75 cents. I always get a few of the animal ornaments every year to decorate a small tree with a Noah's Ark theme. They also have holiday themed...

    What to do in Chicago that is INEXPENSIVE???

    You'll be a block away from the Art Institute of Chicago, which is one of the nation's best art museums. They have many famous pieces that even the kids would recognize - "American Gothic", "Sunday on La Grande Jatte", "Nighthawks" The admission isn't extremely cheap ($12/adults, $7/children)...

    Mackinac Island in October??

    I just got back from the island on Sunday! It was gorgeous. And I stayed at the Island House for one night! (and the Grand Hotel the second night). We loved our room at the Island House, it was in the turret on the front left side and was quite roomy and cheerful. The main rooms in the hotel...

    OT--budget travel in Midwest

    What about Mackinac Island between Michigan's upper and lower peninsulas? Mackinac has lots of history, including an old fort with reenactors, and is very interesting to tour on its own. No cars are allowed on the island, so everyone gets around by walking, biking, horse riding, or carriage...

    Dearborn/Detroit Area: Need Restaurant Advice

    You don't have to be adventurous to enjoy Richter's. I actually recommend it to people who don't want to be adventurous! They serve all the standard American foods, but they make everything in house so it has a more homey feel. For example, southern fried chicken, steaks, baked or fried fish...

    FREE EGGS At Target Starting Tomorrow!!

    Well, I went back to two other Targets nearby yesterday and they sold two different kinds of eggs, neither were Market Pantry, but those were 10% off, so I guess that's what the ad was referring to. I did find the Market Pantry eggs at one regular Target, a newly remodeled one, but I'm guessing...

    FREE EGGS At Target Starting Tomorrow!!

    Thanks for the tip! We hit our Target this morning. The ad said 10% off here in Michigan but when we bought the eggs they came up as 50 cents. We used the coupon (and yes indeed, a Super Target coupon can be used at a regular Target no problem) so they were completely FREE!!! My favorite word...
