Coupons Tomorrow...

Looks like we are only scheduled to get one Smart Source insert in the newspaper tomorrow. As always, let's hope there are some good ones in there!

Lowe's Curtain Clearance - Up to 75% off!

Lowe's currently has some of their curtains on clearance up to 75% off. I got 4 brown 42" x 84" brown panels for less than $40! They retailed for $36 a piece, so I saved 75% on them. When I was at my local store, they still had a pretty big selection left. If you are in the market for some window coverings, then you may want to swing by Lowe's sometime soon.

Does anyone know any good deals on drapery rods to go with this great deal?

Rare McDonalds Coupon...

McDonalds has a $1/1 coupon for their new real fruit smoothies or frappe drinks available here. McDonalds rarely releases coupons so now would be the time to try these out if you are interested.

Does it scare any one else that we have to clarify in our advertising that we are using "real" ingredients? The fact that they have to put "real" in the description really creeps me out a bit!

Have you tried either of these? If so, let us know what you thought.

I buy these and spread them out on a cookie sheet to individually freeze them and once they are frozen, put them into a plastic freezer bag. I use them in baking, smoothies and sometimes my kids just like to munch on them straight out of the freezer. Again, this is definitely a stock up price if you have room for these in your freezer!

If I missed any great deals let me know!
