The Blue Light Special is BACK!

This is a sponsored post. I thought you should know.

Think back to when you wore knee socks and those yarn strings in your hair. Do you remember being in Kmart with your mom, only to hear:

Attention Kmart Shoppers. We have a sale on potted plants on aisle 6.

Doesn’t the memory bring you goosebumps?? Well the Kmart Bluelight Specials are back, for one day only: July 25 (yes, tomorrow). Just like in the old days, they’ll have more than 40 Blue Light specials throughout the store. They’ve got jewelry, grills, patio stuff, etc all on sale. I need patio furniture and kids’ clothes, so I may have to drive to Little Rock to get it cheap at Kmart. They also have specials on Kmart.com (and who am I kidding? I’d rather shop online).

Since I’m furnishing an entire house and trying not to spend a lot on it, the idea of getting great deals at Kmart is awesome. I’ve been toying with the idea of decorating the back yard with paper lanterns and getting an umbrella for my $5 patio table, along with some chairs, so I’ll put them on my Kmart list!

Follow @kmartdealsnnews on Twitter to see what sales they have, then rush to your Kmart to shop and save!

I love that they’re using Twitter (you know I’m a big fan).

I Heart Coffee

This is a sponsored post. I thought you should know.

I used to hate coffee. I mean, hate it. The way I hate beer now. But my bestest friend doctored some up with lots of milk and sugar, and well, I am a convert and have been for 10 years.

I’m not a coffee snob. I mean, I don’t like gas station coffee (unless it’s 7 11) but it’s pretty easy to impress me. Some of my favorite coffee is good and rich, maybe with some chicory thrown in (after all, ya’ll, I am Cajun).

So this post is a review of CoffeeforLess.com, a website that sells all kinds of coffee. Living now in Arkansas, I may be forced to order good coffee online as the selection is lower than what I’m used to.

The site sells ground coffee, coffee beans, hot chocolate, tea, and pods to fit different types of coffee makers (Sigh. I miss my Senseo coffee maker). I think the site is geared more toward offices who would be buying coffee in bulk, since I can’t justify spending $50 for 5 pounds of coffee at a time. They also sell paper goods and water coolers. Another clue it’s for offices. Given that I work out of my home and by myself, well, let’s just say I won’t be needing a water cooler.

They do have a Coffee of the Month Club, which would make a fantastic Christmas or Birthday present (for me. Hint Hint).

I like that shipping is just $5.95, and it’s free over $50 (which seems easy to spend here). All in all, it’s a good site, and if you either are a coffee monster or buying for an office, it’s worth checking out and saving some money.

Do You Use the Entertainment Book?

This is a sponsored post. I thought you should know.

Living in Orlando, someone was always pushing the Entertainment Book for their nonprofit. The first time, I bought one to be nice. But then when I actually saw the coupons inside, I was sold. Not only did it have $5 off at my favorite grocery store (many of these coupons), it also had coupons that made enjoying the many tourist attractions in Orlando more affordable. Coming to visit? I’ve got a coupon for mini golf. Want to go out to eat? I’ve got a coupon for that.

I carried the book in my car (after unsuccessfully leaving it at home, where it did no good) so that I could pull it out when we reached our destination. Usually I found a coupon to comply.

So right now they have a deal that if you reserve the 2010 copy (available August 12) you get the 2009 book free. And the coupons are good for another 3 or 4 months, if I remember correctly.

In writing this post, I thought “Yea, but I bet they won’t have a book for where I am, in BFE Arkansas.” Au contraire. Their Little Rock area book has a ton of Hot Springs restaurants and attractions, so as soon as I’m done posting this I am getting my books! I hope you’ll get them too. They pay for themselves with just a few coupons, so what do you have to lose?
