Deals: Lunar New Year, Sweetheart Festival & more!

I can’t help it. I sort of want to root for the Kansas City Chiefs this Super Bowl. But in any case, I think the Super Bowl is a win. It is a time to get together with friends and throw a party without having to think about entertainment – and the food…well, they are usually snacky things instead of a meal. So, there’s limited cooking too! Costco even has a football cake for just $16.99. Lunar New Year.  This is the year of the dragon for Chinese New Year.

Deals: Loveland, free turkey, Target and more!

I have to admit that I spend a bit too much time on TikTok and I have run across the advertisements for Temu. I have to say I have been a bit skeptical of the site. However, I had a friend who is really a big Temu shopper. I asked her to add a t-shirt for me to her order. I was super surprised at the quality and how quickly we got the order. So now, I’m looking there for some stocking stuffers. I start squirreling away things now for stocking stuffers. Loveland Ski Area. Yay, ski season! One ski area opened already. More to come shortly. If you have not decided on your season pass – time is running out quickly. Get your passes before Thanksgiving for most ski areas. I personally love the Loveland 4-pack because it is actual tickets that you can share vs being attached to each person. You c...

How much do you decorate for Halloween? Does it matter if it falls in the middle of the week?

Deals: Amazon Prime Days, SuperMotocross World Championships & more

I was given a Vuori brand lightweight sweatshirt a couple of weeks ago. I have barely taken it off since I got it. It is super soft and the perfect weight. My mom used to tell me that sometimes if something is more expensive, but the CPW (Cost Per Wear) is low – it might make it worth the money (she is a deals gal too). I have certainly got my money’s worth on this piece! Amazon Prime Days. This time of year we see all kinds of specials. October 10 & 11 are Amazon Prime Days. There will be special deals each day. But we do recommend if you see something on day 1 of the sale, go ahead and buy it. It will not likely last long nor will it go down in price. Amazon is also offering gift cards at a discount. So if you are of a mind to start stocking up for Christmas now  ̵...
