Don't spend a lot extra at Christmas these days I guess and I buy turkey breast and leg of pork at another store because Zehrs don't carry them. Yes it was a good bowling day. Let's hope the Summer League on Wednesday will be good too.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-3901524037887960042016-05-15T08:24:45.111-04:002016-05-15T08:24:45.111-04:00Close, but it's still my favourite Helen.Close, but it's still my favourite Helen.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-7365847537296056902016-05-14T22:51:56.718-04:002016-05-14T22:51:56.718-04:00Yes, I have read them both and I love her work, to...Yes, I have read them both and I love her work, too.

I am already at over 131,000 and loving it:) I usually kept these points until Christmas and then use them. This gives more money for Christmas and other things that gone on at that time.

They too keep a track of what you buy and send you points offers each week based on your purchases.

One of the stores we shopped at when we lived in San Diego area would keep track of what you bought and then would offer those items at cheaper prices; all you had to do was click and put it on their card. Took me less than 10 minutes to do it weekly when I got the email and saved lots of money :) Here at Wal-Mart, and I'm sure all over, they have their SavingsCatcher program that if they find a lower price at competitive stores, you get the different; they'll accumulate it through the year and then you can "cash out" whenever you want on a debit card type thing. Saved close to $70 last year just entering my weekly sales receipt from them. It all adds up :)<br /><br />bettubettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-37804384032722636212016-05-13T23:00:57.408-04:002016-05-13T23:00:57.408-04:00Me too JoJo and I had asparagus tonight too.Me too JoJo and I had asparagus tonight too.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-67874386459851852082016-05-13T19:29:16.570-04:002016-05-13T19:29:16.570-04:00Those wontons are making my mouth water.

I just put all my items in the online shopping cart, schedule a time, and go pick them up. The points we get are only good at their gas pumps, though...so I get all my gas there.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.com
