Just wanted to remind everyone that the cheerios links (5) all still work and the Q's not only work on cheerios, but also lucky charms, whcih I found out by accident. The little bowls are 97 cents to $1, so they are free AC.

Apperntly I am the only one on right now, LOL.

Okay so busy day today, didn't do very well on the q's. Went to Khols that was great got two more pairs of dance tights for $2.17 oop, want to be prepared when the tights get holes in them. They are $3.97 each at W*M

Went to W*M and they have no Tidy Cat for over $10 and no Breeze at all so no go on that q. Rang up my Neutrogena wrong so had to void one off and only got to use one $3 q. Got some buttons and hair elastic to make some flowers for dd's tap shoes, only couldn't get the elastic thru the button look, thankfully had grabbed some buttons from my jar that did work. Now oldest dd wants hair flowers, and found one hair elastic that would fit... hopefully will locate a few more around the house since I have two girls and only one flower....

went to Randalls found a MIR for Try me Free Terra Chips only it expired on 8/31/08, and a sign that I thought said they where on sale, so returned those since it rang up full price, called the number on the q and will get a free item q from them since there vender failed to remove the peelies 17 days after the promo was over!

Did get some plain doritos for $1.99 a bag, to me that is a decent price,tortilla chips are 2.50-3.50 most of the time, but had no q's. Got some frozen pizza on sale but again no Total bill was $54oop, down from $80 but only got to use one measly q for $2.00EEK!

I do so much better at Target but Randalls doubles and triples mq's so I usually do so well there too.

I avoid Randall's like the plague, unless they have a super duper special like the 99 cent/pound ground meat, in the recent past and then I only buy that and nothing else that's marked up.

OK, the last time I was in Minneapolis, someone wanted a heads up. I will be in the Rosedale/Arden Hills area Tuesday night for sure, Monday possibly as well. Anyone want to go shopping with me?

Ok...so i set the amt at 1500...i get 1500 right away, then pay it back throughout the year pre tax??
That's exactly how it worked for us. July 1st DH starts new fiscal year at work and FSA kicks in, we had signed up to take $2k out for Lasik for me over the course of the year. July 20th I get Lasik. FSA pays out in July and continues to collect out of his paycheck for the rest of the year. So not only did we save on the initial tax implications of the FSA but it's like we got an interest free loan on the $$$. But check with your provider to be sure.

Laina, forgive me if this has already been asked, but did you do that cake in your avatar free hand (meaning w/o a pre formed pan). That is just fabulous. I would love to see your work. Do you have a website or photobucket?
Thank you...
No formed pan, started out with a plain sheet cake then... freehand.. lots of cut (cake) and paste (icing) and a whole lot of fondant.

I do have a website, but it's down right now... I've got a friend from IBM, working on it to make it more professional... I had done it originally... fine for when I first began, but now that I get some highend clients need a great website.
Right now I just have a huge collection on a CD that I let people look at and a portfolio.
I will post some when I'm finished with this busy week/weekend...
Probably while I'm on vacation...

Help guys, little freaked out here, ok lot freaked out

Went to Kmart about 20 mins from here, only go there once a month, maybe twice. Went and did my shopping, nothing unusual. Checked out, went a little lower than I wanted, but again no problems. I am walking to my car and there is a guy leaning on the hood of my van. I get closer and he looks up at me and said "Oh is this your car", and I said yes. He said sorry walked across the aisle to his car (litteraly just a few steps) gets in an drives off, seemingly in a hurry. he was on the phone at the time, but didnt here what he was saying. He also didnt have a bag, and I think I remember seeing him in the store. He drove up next to the store up an alley, so I threw my stuff in the van and went that way. It was a dead end, unless you drove up over a curb.

I came home

I cant remember what type of car it was excpet it was white.

I live above a business, and usually park out front, but hubby said to park out back, where I never park.

He just told me there is a white van that is parked right next to mine out back, came in about 10 mins after I did. I am seriously freaking.

hubby is taking trash out, he thinks he remembers that van being out there before friends w my neighbor. But I dont know.

Waiting for him to get back in here.

I didnt use anything outrageous, glade, tidy cat, lysol, pert

I will update as soon as i can

Ok its my neighbors sister out back, but I am still really freaked out. My SD buddy thinks its nothing. I have no front Lisc plate so he wasnt copying that and he was on the phone, maybe writing down someones number, just couldnt understand why he wasnt leaning on his own car and why he took off in a hurry

Don't go back to that KM for a while. And be careful otherwise for the next week or so. We will keep our fingers crossed for you

Ok...not to freak you out but it may have had absolutely nothing to do with your coupon usage. It could have been some straight up wierdo and you should be more concerned about that. Once you leave the store and the cashier's have accepted the q's there is little they can do, hence why I don't think it is coupon related. It may have been nothing at all but you should at the very least write down a description of him to the best of your ability, so you have it in the future.

I only say this b/c the last time I got creeped out with a way someone was acting in the parking lot towards me I didn't listen to my instincts and when i came back out to my car with my dd the dude was uhm pleasuring himself if ya know what i mean. That to me is far scarier than any coupon thing.

Deep breath...Anything that KM would do, they would do before you left the store/ or as soon as you walked out. Chances are, he was talking on the phone and wanted to get out and stretch, smoke, or something and was just resting up against your car. See, he was already there when you got there. If it was KM, how would they know what car you drove? Me thinks coincidence...

I know it was probably nothing, just freaking me out. Like why in the heck wasnt he leaning on his own car, directly across from his. Why was he on my side of teh aisle when his car was on the other side which was closer to the door.

My heart is racing right now as I am very anxious. I have a little heart condition too, so this isnt helping.

I am supposed to be getting trades ready and all my coupons sorted and put away.
