New Design

2009-07-12T02:07:00.004-04:00

Hi everyone! If you've been here before, you can see that I've made some changes in the design. I was tired of the old logo & black & wanted some fun summer colors. I think it turned out great, & I'm sticking with this design for a while.

I'm also going to be making a few changes in what I post. As there are so many great blogs that already have the weekly deals for CVS, RiteAid,etc., I am no longer going to post all the deals, only the highlights with links to the full list. Also, I will be doing daily dose: one post a day with freebies, coupons/code, deal highlights and more. Thanks for visiting!
