I didn't even know you could make a photo poster, but apparently you can. Walgreens is offering $5 off through Oct. 18 when you use the code BIGPIC during checkout.

If you get a small one, it could be a nice, cheap Christmas gift with a personal touch. See this Web site for more details...

The study showed that people see coupon users as being less cheap if they know the person, if the coupon is of a high value or if the coupon user is a hottie. Oh well...  two out of three isn't bad, right?

Normally I'd wait until Friday, but I'm not sure this one will last that long... you can request a sample of Redken Real Control shampoo and conditioner here... 

I'm one of those people who never carries cash. In fact, a co-worker recently asked me if he could borrow a dollar, and I didn't have one to lend him. But apparently, I'm not alone. Convenience Store News reports that 63 percent of transactions are now made electronically. That seems like quite a lot since I remember the days when everyone at the food store paid either cash or check. And I am not that old...
