Coupon Clipper Cheer- A Cashier in Need.

Today I am going to turn an old rant into a rave and ask for a favor. Both of our local Rite Aid stores have made leaps in bounds in the past 12 months when it comes to their customer service and coupon friendliness. I have ranted about Lorrie at the Rt 3 location several times, but she really is the most improved cashier I have ever known. She really has been very helpful and coupon user friendly over the past few months. She is usually there M-F during the day. Today she shared that she is struggling after the sudden passing of her husband. I was shocked and am hoping that in the coming weeks we can all lift her spirits a bit. My game plan is to give her a card with a gift card (I am thinking Panera for something fun and Price Chopper for something practical). Please let her know she is in your thoughts and prayers too- she saves me time, money, and has made the Plattsburgh Rt 3 store a fun place to shop.

Free Purex at Wags!

This week Walgreen's has a super deal!! BOGO Purex Laundry detergent. The sale includes the Free&Clear and HE bottles. Do you have the BOGO coupons from the 2/21 Sunday paper? Of you do then you can take home 2 free bottles per coupon. The Wags promo will only give you 1 BOGO deal per transaction. The register takes the coupon with no fussing. To was more than happy to bring home 4 free bottles today. The shelves are full! They will charge you tax, but 13c a bottle is more than fair!

A Contest

Who doesn't love pancakes? I was very excited when My Blog Spark teamed up with Bisquick to promote the new Bisquick Pancake Nation website. Bisquick is offering $250 grants to not for profit groups that want to raise funds by hosting pancake breakfasts. The Bisquick site offers many great recipe and fundraising ideas. Join the Bisquick Pancake Nation to find everything you need to know about planning and hosting a pancake breakfast fundraiser. You can also find these other great tools on the web page:
The Pancake Finder—locate a nearby pancake fundraiser
Pancake Mix—customize a future Bisquick Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser with some fun tips on what to serve with pancakes
Calculator—plan shopping for just the right amount of ingredients for expected guests
Place Mats—download and print so guests can share trivia and play games while they eat

My Blog Spark and Bisquick sent me a delightful box of goodies today. I am looking forward in putting all of the treasures to good use. Here is the BEST part- They are providing another prize pack to one lucky blog reader. What will come in the prize pack? One HUGE Box of Bisquick, one pre-seasoned Cast Iron Pancake Griddle, One Super Fancy Mixing Bowl, and One Nifty Pancake Flipper. ( I will ad a pic later tonight). I am guessing that the retail value is in the $50 Range.
