Update

Hi Couponing Friends! 

Please forgive me for being "missing in action" the past few weeks!  I have been out of town and preparing for the beginning of another school year.  I'll be taking a blogging break for the rest of this month, but look for me again around Labor Day!  I need a couple of weeks to get the school year started for my precious 5th & 6th graders, but I'll be sending deal updates your way again before you know it!  In the meantime, happy deal hunting!  See you soon!
