12/21 Expressions

For the first time today, we used the "Red Box" at Wal-mart and a code to get a free movie to watch. Also for the first time, I used "Shortcuts" and "loaded" coupons on to my Kroger card. And, I can say it works. Kroger mailed me a booklet of their premium (I think) brand items "Private Selections". In there was a coupon for $5 off the Spiral Cut ham. Shortcuts had another for $3 off. I used both today and the receipt shows both reductions. I also took my daughter to J C Penney so that she could buy her dad a gift. Lots of sales, easy to park, and we used the $10 off $25 coupon. We did not venture further into the mall - but there were signs on the way in that "Steve & Barry" and a Jewelry store were having "store closing" sales.
