Quite an eventful day for everyone!

There's a run on canned goods and cosmetics

So today's the day. Inauguration day, or the beginning of the end of the world as so many people seem to think. It's amazing how so many people of different walks of life have become united under a single cause. Democrats, liberals, republicans, conservatives alike. NONE of them are looking forward to today.

It's time to run (don't walk) to your nearest grocery store. Not, that everyone is going to be needing canned goods and not that I'm advocating the end of the world, but considering the moratorium on peanut products right now, many people are going to be cleaning out the supplies of the canned goods on sale to make up for the lack of food they can eat that's already in their pantries. I know I personally have lost access to at least 1/3 of my inventory due to the detailed and specific instructions handed down by the FDA basically in a nutshell they say not to eat ANYTHING containing peanuts except peanut butter, until they get more information. Meanwhile I'm sitting on stockpiled food laced with, containing or having sat next to peanuts that I can't eat! So for those of you looking for canned goods, for whatever reason.

Albertsons has Chef Boyardee ravioli on sale through today for .88 a can
King Soopers has Cambell's Chunky soups on sale 4/$5 $.50/2 coupons doubled make $.75 a can.
I'm sure there are other deals out there but these are the ones I have personally taken advantage of. Don't forget Walmart will match any prices for an identical product, so if you don't want to run all over town just take your weekly sales flyers to Walmart and kill all your birds with one stone. Of course they don't double your coupons so you need to keep that in mind.

If, instead of stocking up you'd rather party today TGI Fridays is throwing a big party at all locations. Card members even get double stripes. They are also offering free Red and White chips and salsa. For more information click here.

As for cosmetics, if you happened to have purchased any cosmetics in department stores between May 1994 and June 2003 you are eligible for $20 in free makeup Today through the 27th! Thanks to MNTK you can click here for more details.


Seems like today is full of things to take advantage of!
