It’s just like me to forget to announce the winner of the one and only giveaway I’ve ever had. Remember that? Weeks ago? Yeah.

Drumroll, all that jazz…

Redneck Diva!

Please contact me at liz@misswisabus.com so I can get your prize in the mail. Congrats!

Now that I’m the spouse of an educator, I’m on the lookout for some good deals on things that he can use in the classroom. As far as deals go I think there are better ones to be had for elementary school teachers than those teaching older children (check out the sales at Mardel this week!), but this time of year both CVS and Walgreens have some really good deals. I’ve been able to get some classroom supplies for Kevin for FREE or barely more than that.

This week CVS has some great deals on notebooks, pencils, index card cases, erasers, push pins, binder clips, pens, staplers, and sticky notes–all FREE after CVS Extra Care Bucks. If you aren’t a CVS card holder already, go and sign up!

For more details on how to save this week check out Money Saving Mom.

This is about the only thing that will draw me out of blog hibernation–free food. So mosey on over there and get yourself some. Good until 7/12/09 only.
