Shopping Bags

I was just at Sam's Club and they had some reusable shopping bags on clearance. They are really big ones (18 x 14 x 11) and have hand and shoulder straps. I bought a 2 pack about a year ago and I want to say they were at least $5. Today they were marked down to $1.91 for 2 (anything ending in .x1 at Sam's Club means it is the cheapest it will get). I love the ones I already have and use them all the time. They fold up small but can hold a ton. They're great for all of your big Sam's Club purchases or I use them a lot when I go to Aldi and stock up on things like crackers and pretzels.

Pasta Sale at Meijer

http://dealseekingmom.com/meijer-deals-week-of-82210/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+DealSeekingMom+%28Deal+Seeking+Mom%E2%84%A2%29
For all of the coupons, you should be able to print off 2 coupons per computer. And don't do the Garden Harvest Ronzoni coupon because that pasta is not part of the 10 for 10 deal and neither is lasagna pasta (which is what I was originally hoping to get), but the rest should be just fine!

Dump and Run sale

Dump & Run Sale
Now in its 9th year, Dump & Run is an annual program of the University YMCA, Champaign-Urbana’s oldest charity. The basic concept is simple: the YMCA collects reusable items that students would otherwise dispose of as they move out, and then sell the collected items at the annual garage sale. This program reduces litter and consumer waste, saves space in landfills, lowers dumping costs for certified housing units, and provides inexpensive items for students to purchase for the fall. The sale will be held at the U of I Stock Pavilion, 1402 W. Pennsylvania Ave. in Urbana, across the street from the cemetery and three blocks east of Memorial Stadium.
Saturday, August 21 from 8am - 5pm ($2 admission)
Sunday, August 22 from 11am - 4pm ($3 bag sale, 1/2 price furniture), 4:30pm-6pm (Free Sale)


When Sat Aug 21 8am – 5pm Central Time

Gap- $50 for $25

Groupon is a website that has a deal of the day that is only valid if enough people sign up for the deal offered. It's mostly located in big cities and most of the deals are for places in those cities. Today the deal works at Gaps nationwide. There isn't a Groupon market for Champaign, but I subscribe to the Chicago one-just in case :) Here's what I copied from RefundCents.com:

WOW! Things are hopping today at Groupon. It looks like the entire country has the same offer. Get a $50 The Gap gift certificate for $25. If you are a Gap shopper, you'll jump on that. This offer is limit 1 per person (others have been unlimited). If you are not a member of Groupon, it's a simple free process to sign up. Opt to get their daily emails for your city. You might have a delay getting into the site right now. It's being hammered by customers wanting this Gap deal. When I got the "I'm sorry" page, I hit refresh a couple times and it came up. Groupon
