Our Upcoming Move
omahacheapthrills.wordpress.org is on the move to CHEAPTHRILLSINOMAHA.COM (a wordpress.org-powered, hosted site).
This is an exciting move for us, and we hope it will be exciting for you, too. We’ll be changing things up a little, and hope that you’ll stick with us. Stay tuned to either site until things are finalized in the next few weeks.
$80 Per Week in 2010 — Week 17
This week for just food I spent $57.05 — well under my $80 budget. (This puts me at $185.85 under budget for the year!) Awesome. I report that my teen has a healthy appetite. I am adjusting my cooking and shopping habits to accommodate this, but found our cupboards pretty low one day this week. Low on what I’d planned, but we made do with other vegs and such. And I’ve discovered …
BagNSave Coupon Mailer!
Awesome deals. I received a BagNSave coupon mailer today, which includes 32 coupons, 4 per week for 8 weeks! Each week there is at least one FREE item. The coupons are good at the 144/Center, 108/Q and 156/Q locations only.
This week’s coupons include bakery cinnamon rolls for 1.99; BOGO Del Monte spaghetti sauce; FREE McCormick taco seasoning; 8-quart size Kool Aid powder mix .99. Sweet!
I found out that if you don’t live in the area of the specific locations sponsoring the coupons, but shop at one of them (for ex., if it’s on the way home from your office), you can submit your name and addy and they will mail you these. Now that’s customer service!
Fiesta for FREE at the Cinco de Mayo Events
The South Omaha Business Association sponsors the 25th Annual Cinco de Mayo this weekend. The festivities begin Friday evening with a banquet and coronation, and continue through Sunday with a fiesta grande. (But you know everyone will also celebrate Wednesday the 5th!)
Most of the activities, including the carnival, will be in the area of 24th & N. The parade starts Saturday morning at 10:00 and runs 24th & B Street to 24th & P Street. A 5K walk to benefit Ixim Spirit of Solidarity will be on Sunday starting with registration at 7:30 am.
Great food, great folks, great fun! Ole!

In the Smart Market mailer today is a very cool insert from McDonald’s, promoting their McCafe Frappes. There are four coupons inside; all expire 5/31:

And look at that….they’re calling it a Chill Thrill! I’m lovin’ it!
