    The link to the Outback Steakhouse deal doesn’t work. πŸ™ I’d love to get it!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

  2. Kristen

    I heard a rumor Mississippi wasn’t charging sales tax on school supplies this year too. Anyone heard anything? It’s not listed

  3. Elizabeth

    Im not sure where to post this but I just got back from Kmart getting the 10 cent pencils and happened on a ton of 90% off video games clearance. We bought 5 games total I believe, all regular $30 or $40 for $3 and $4. A few of them were even bonus packs, my son got a Lego Star Wars game with a Bobblehead and then a Lego board game that came with a DS game. There were other games that we didnt purchase as well as other games that were 50-70% off.
