Kmart’s Family and Friends sale
When we lived in Battle Creek, Kmart was one of my favorite place to shop for deals because it was the only place in town that would double coupons. They often have special days where they double coupons up to $1.00 so coupons valued at $1.00 become $2.00 off which can mean HUGE savings! Another way that Kmart makes for a great place to save is their store brand coupons. They regularly have flyers that have Kmart coupons that aren't put out by the manufacturer of the brand but instead Kmart. These Read more [...]
HGG: Seagate Backup Plus Review
With the quality of digital cameras increasing so quickly, the size of the photo files that we save to our computers are growing as well.

My Friendship Bracelet Maker Review
During middle school and early high school my friends and I got really into making friendship bracelets. Many people will tape the top knot to a table or something similar and then pin the bottom strings in place as well. I learned how to make bracelets from my friend Liz who had been taught to cut up the front or pack part of a spiral notebook with one cut at the top to hold the knot and several cuts on the bottom to hold the strings. The bottom strings held okay (for a few hours until the bottom Read more [...]
