My daughter and I went to Marden’s the other day with friends. While there we came across some great savings:
1. I purchased 4 spray bottles of fruit scented body spray at .10 each. They were all full-size bottles.
2. My daughter picked up a very long telephone cord for only .50.
I love finding good deals!

Check out the stores for deals on winter things like coats, boots, hats and mittens, sleds, shovels and more.
Stock up on everything that you will need for your family for next winter if you can afford to. This will save you more than 50% on your entire families winter needs.

Go to Wal*Mart.

I wipe mine off and reuse it as many times as [...]
