I opened my fireplace flue yesterday and black fell out. I should have saved it! Now, it's too LATE!!

They told us NOT to tell consumers, but if they knew already and mentioned it, that we could do the price match.

Re: How to Save Money
I did some more looking into the $500.00 grocery rebate. It looks way too restrictive. You have to spend $100.00 on specific products on a list they have and then they send you $25.00 back. You have to do this within a month. You do this until you use up the $500.00. Big headache and a person might actually end up spending more by being limited to the specific products.
Oh well. I'll keep on looking.

Ron's furniture direct. He's on Hwy 72 between Corinth & Walnut. I drove by last week and the banner was still up, not sure when the promotion is ending though. He has some really nice stuff in the store.

I have never seen this store. How far out from Corinth is it? How long has it been there?

He's been there about three years I think. It's actually closer to Walnut than Corinth. Huge metal building where they used to have the big auctions on the weekends. He has storage buildings & carports out on the lot for sale or rent to own. Mom bought her living room furniture there last when we gave them money for a new living room suite for Christmas last year. She loves her furniture, and got a great deal on it. In fact, she got such a deal on the living room furniture-- she got a new dining room set too with the money left over.
