OMG we're going to make it to the end of the week with no posts in the RA thread. This has to be a first but it doesn't really matter to me because I'm out of RA. I spent my Bonus Cash this week. Lousy deals but I wanted out. There's way too much stress shopping at RA with all of the hassles over the coupons but the real reason is that Wags is kicking RA's ass. It took me too long to realize it and I've been wasting a lot of time at RA but now I'm going to learn Wags and get good at it like I used to be.

My sale was a madhouse. I sold out in the first 5 minutes. I thought that one person was going to buy my car lol. Way too much stress, though. It wasn't good for my heart. Lots of people were upset because they couldn't get gift sets and detergent. People were buying by the box not the item.

Quaker Chewy Granola Bar and Granola Cereal Recall

Huge list included in the recall [fda.gov], to include snack boxes that have granola bars as part of the snack.
For those of you who don't get around on SD much. Quaker Chewy Granola bar recall above

Here's my silly observation for the day....

A few days ago, someone posted a complaint in the thread where people share coupon codes. It made me feel so strange that their name was Anonymous(something something something). I mean, I know 98% of you don't know my real first name, and I don't know most of your real first names, but it just felt strange.

I was busy when I saw and responded to it, but just scrolled by it again today and I still felt strange.

My Facebook name was a play on anonymous. Annie something. Facebook got mad and said that I had to use my real name. I said that I like being Annie and I've never posted anything so why does it matter. They wouldn't back down so I said that I can't be on Facebook and left. If I had known that I was going to turn into a pickle, I might've reconsidered my position.

Hi Annie Maus. I'm surprised they actually caught on that you were using a fake name. I think 90% of my "friends" use a fake name and some of those are pretty obvious. Along the lines of Deal Queen or other nonsense.

They made a federal case out of it. I was only on FB because everybody wanted likes so that they could get more coupons. I never posted anything. Not one single post. Somehow i had over 1000 followers. Don't ask me how because I didn't know any of them. I take it back. I knew the 5 or 10 people that I did likes for and then a few of their friends would ask me for likes but that was it.

Maybe if I had called myself the FabulousPickle they would've left me alone. I wonder why SD picked that name for me. I had my name all planned out but I was a pickle before I knew it. I've grown to like it. It's probably better than the name I picked. I was going to be thatscrazy. It fits my posts lol.

I had all sorts of goals for my SD run. I was always going to be nice. I was going to think before I posted. I wasn't going to delete anything. I was going to be so helpful that my feedback would be a million. None of those things happened. I was a pickle. Nothing good ever happens to a pickle. You get stuffed in a jar and sit on the shelf at the grocery store. Then somebody buys you and returns you the next day because pickles don't taste very good. It's a tough life being a pickle.

Some people hide pickles on their Christmas tree.

Funny; this morning I found a bunch (I didn't count them) of jars of pickles my husband stuffed in the back of a bottom shelf in a cupboard in the laundry room (room he comes into first from the garage) no less. Good grief. He puts/hides things all over the place and he's probably forgotten all about them.

Well, the unlucky person who finds me certainly won't get good fortune. If they know what's good for them, they'll take the tree with the pickle on it to the dump.

I'd like to be in a forgotten place right now stuffed away in a cupboard where nobody is looking for me. Just as long as there aren't any coupons in the cupboard. That would be hell. Me and a coupon in a forgotten cupboard...

Yes, I was going to say the same thing. I think Wag's owns Duane Reade. DK if there are any left.
There are still Duane Reades, and in fact, the last card I got from Walgreens for a merchandise credit has Duane Reade on the front.

I was just glad to see the regular Quaker Oats weren't recalled so I can make my hubby some oatmeal cookies!
