Hershey Park Fun Christmas Event

Here is the Hershey park Christmas event. Pretty cool to do rides in the cold. Kids love the indoor musical included in the ticket price to keep them warm between rides.  And you can take pictures with santa for a separate fee. This year, they are charging for a parking fee $7. Susan

Groupon for JumpZone!

I just purchased 6 passes to JumpZone open play for $14--figured the little kids would love to get out, and it's so cold out, so this should be a nice break for them.
Here's the link:

Anyone up for a Larriland Trip?

Does anyone want to get some apples? If we were to go together, we could get the price break (I think we need to pick at least 20 lbs) if we combined our loads and split it (it could be a good Sunday morning snack, too--hint, hint).

let's give this a shot, i'm so technologically lame -

This a great site that has all kinds of housewares. When you register, you get an instant $15 credit so you can score something for free ( I got a $7 bamboo salad server set for free-keep in mind that the S & H is 7.95 ). If anyone orders from here, please don't forget to say that I referred you (prestonkim@comcast.net). Thanks!

Hip2save.com rocks!

I discovered this great site a few months ago called hip2save.com. They have all kinds of freebies, contests, and ways to get the most out of using coupons. You should check it out if you're in to that kind of stuff!

$.03 notebooks at Target (from Yvonne)

Hi friends,

I was literally just at Target tonight and came home with 20 notebooks for a total of $.60 because they are $.03 each at the Target over on 103 in Ellicott City.  They still have a TON of them left if you want to pick some up.  I really should be better about having my kids use recycled paper to scribble on but to be honest, I don't remember and we really don't have that much paper laying around for them to use.  Not a bad deal for $.03 each.  It's the one subject, 70 pages and they only have wide rule left.

It's located by the Halloween section along with a bunch of other back to school clearance stuff.  I'm sure they have the same deal at Dobbin but I don't know if they have any left.

happy shopping!
