Hooray for Skechers!

I’ve made my share of customer service complaints on my blog.  Today I want to praise the customer service at Skechers.  My husband purchased some Skechers work shoes a few months ago from JC Penneys.  After about two months, the sole of one of the shoes separated from the rest of the shoe and it also [...]

Sharing Sunday – Harvest Raisin Bars

I’m ready for autumn, but Mother Nature thinks it’s still summer here in Southside Virginia.   It was well into the 80’s  so we cooked on the grill tonight for supper.  That didn’t stop me from firing up the oven and baking a harvest dessert!  While this recipe is for “bars” it’s more like a snack [...]

Frugal shopping for the week

Just a quick post to share some bargain deals.  I’m so busy with nursing school I just don’t have time to blog anymore and I really miss it!  This afternoon I went to Walgreens, CVS, and Rite-Aid.  Rite-Aid is quickly becoming a new favorite for me, although CVS will always be my first love.

I had [...]

Labor Day shopping

We’ve had some great weather the past week in southside Virginia, until today that is.  Since it was raining, I decided to head out for some dinner and bargain shopping with my husband.  We rode down to North Carolina as we had a buy 1 buffet get 1 FREE coupon for Ryan’s that was expiring today.  First stop [...]
