Wuzzup Today?

Today's findings:

Well first up let me tell you about a really great blog I came across today. It's Simple Mom and here's the link: http://simplemom.net/. This is a new favorite place for me to visit online! Right now she is running a contest to give away an Epson all in one printer/scanner/fax machine that does all kinds of cool stuff like print directly on CDs, print excellent quality photographs, coloring pages and graph paper . . . my oh my, it's enough to make the most uncovetous person droooool. Somebody's gotta win ...might as well be you...(or me!) So go enter the contest - it ends November 12.

I'm just back from Big Lots - our local discount store, and boy did I stock up today. I've been trying to stock the pantry little by little, and today was a great leap forward. Deals like Starkist Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water for 90 cents a can - bought two stacks of those. All kinds of name brand canned fruit and veggies for cheap, cheap, cheap. Winter's coming folks, and who knows what else? Stock that pantry if you have one!

I'm thrilled about this deal - a Nalgene, made in the USA refillable 20 oz water bottle for $2.50 - and here's the deal. It was filled with 10 single serving Crystal Lite powder packets. (I don't normally buy these, but my son does love them), a coupon for $5.00 off Brita products, another coupon for 20% off any purchase at nalgene_outdoor.com, and a 50 cent coupon (which my store will double) for Crystal Light singles packets. Now THAT's a bargain - and it would make a great gift, for just about any age or gender. Hmm. . . maybe I should pick up a few more.

Those are some awesome finds! I hope folks will spot this Nalgene deal, as Nalgene and CamelBak bottles are something that are GREAT for care packages to deployed troops. Crystal Light and similar products are a fun treat as well. They have to hydrate a LOT and some flavor now and then is nice. :-)
