Space bags...I’d seen them advertised on the TV and in catalogs for years but never thought about buying one. That was until my local DIY store had them on sale for $6.98 a box, with a $2 rebate. As I’m about to reorganize the closet I thought I’d give them a try.
This particular store offers weekly rebate deals on various items. You don’t get the rebate in the form of money, but in store credit. For me that works out perfectly as we...or at least the house, always seems to need something they’re selling.

I was reading the Dollar Stretcher newsletter last week and saw an advertisement for a Web site called www.mygrocerydeals.com. Everyone must have been checking it out because it was at least a couple of days before I could get onto the site. If you haven’t visited it yet, do so. You type in your zip code and the site gives you a list of all the supermarkets in your area and what’s on sale for that week. As we no longer get the Sunday newspaper I don’t get to check out flyers so this will be a big help when I’m putting together menu plans and grocery lists. You can also sign up for a newsletter, and check out the coupon gallery. I usually find the online coupons are a waste of time, but I found plenty of good ones here. Best of all, you don’t pay a penny to use any of the features.

The holiday catalogs are appearing in my mailbox faster than I can say Santa Claus. One was from L.L.Bean, they’re offering free shipping until December 21st, and best of all you don’t have to spend a certain amount to qualify.
Every year I keep saying I’m going to do all my shopping online, but there’s just something special about heading to the mall during the holiday season.
