It’s Sunday morning at the Cataldo house, which also means it’s breakfast time. As I’m working on today’s Deals writeup, the rest of the family’s been busy making a delicious-smelling brunch! My husband just brought an empty egg carton over and said “Have you ever seen a coupon like this?” Now, I love Panko (and […]
Funny! Doritos from Dominick’s
(I’d like to clarify that this shouldn’t have been funny. But in light of Dominick’s past issues with having expired food on the shelves… it was.) Last week, Doritos were pretty cheap at Dominick’s with an e-coupon. With the cost of some chips and snacks lately, any price break is welcome, so I picked up […]
Funny: Coupons not worth printing
I was over on Betty Crocker’s site doing some matchups for this week’s Deals of the Week writeup and spotted these: I think it’s pretty safe to say that these coupons will not be worth the paper they’re printed on! Ha.
Wrapping things up at BlogHer ’11…
Miss part 1 of this series on BlogHer ’11? Read it here. Yesterday was another fun day at BlogHer. After more educational sessions throughout the day, another visit to the expo hall was in order. There were a few more things that I wanted to share with you guys that were either interesting, fun, or […]
The “Great Big BlogHer 2011” Post
(or, “How I ended up at a rooftop party for feminine hygiene products with Mario Lopez.”) For my regular coupon blog readers, allow me to take a (small) break from coupon talk and fill you in on my adventures at BlogHer 2011 in San Diego. BlogHer’s been a lot of fun so far! It’s pretty […]
Thousands without power in McHenry County, Illinois…
… and I’m one of them. Today’s severe thunderstorms ripped through the northwest ‘burbs and knocked power out to over 80,000 homes in our area (and over 868,000 homes throughout Chicagoland.) My family texted the news to me as I was waiting to go on Windy City Live this morning. It’s 7:00pm on Monday and […]
A funny Mother’s Day card from my sister
To all of the moms, people with moms, and people who are loved by moms… Happy Mothers’ Day! I had to share this card with you that my beautiful sister Lynn gave me. We were both cracking up at how appropriate it is for my life… Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful women in […]
What’s wrong with this ad?
While I’m putting the finishing touches on the new Deals of the Week writeup for you, I thought I’d share something that made me laugh as I was deal-making and flipping through the flyers. Lest you think I’m only picking on Dominick’s this week, have you seen Meijer’s flyer? It says “One Stop. One SUPER […]
Doo, doo, doo, looking out my back door…
Hope everyone’s enjoying the lovely weather we’re having, and that your homes are well-stockpiled with groceries! I asked my sons to put their boots on and open the back door. This was the result! This probably goes without saying, but if you’re one of my Chicagoland readers, stay off the roads if you can today. […]
On the last day of Jewel’s General Mills sale, I found the ONLY fully-stocked store in Chicagoland!
Yes, you read that right! After spending some time in the city today working on another coupon-related project, I walked into the Lakeview-area Jewel-Osco, located at 3630 N. Southport in Chicago, just a few blocks from Wrigley Field. And, seven days into one of the most fun “Spend $25, Get $10” General Mills Catalina sales […]
