$5 Target coupon

This sounds great!  Thank you My Frugal Adventures!

There is a nice Target coupon coming up.  In the August 3rd ad, there will be a coupon to get a $5 gift card when you spend $25 on school supplies. Or you can text SCHOOL to 827438 to get the coupon but keep in mind it’s not valid until 8/3.
The ad has several nice deals.  Here are just a few highlights:
  • Crayola Water Colors $.99
  • Bic 8 ct pencils $.99
  • Post It Notes 90 ct $.99
  • Sharpie Highlighters 3ct $.99
  • Crayola Crayons $.50
  • Sterilite Pencil Box $.50
  • Mead Notebook $.50
  • Up & Up 2 pocket folder $.50
  • Expo Dry Erase Markers 4 ct $2.50
  • Scotch Magic Tape 3ct $3.50
  • Mead Planners and Notebooks $7
And the ad also features some adorable lunch boxes and such.  Plus I spotted a super cute Olaf USB drive but I’m not sure the coupon will work on those items?  What do you guys think?  Are backpacks school supplies?
The nice thing about the gift card offer is that it can be stacked with coupons. Here are several you might want to go ahead and grab while you can.  Hopefully we will see some new cartwheel coupons pop up by Sunday since the current ones expire before then.

make a difference- for free!



50,000 indexers and arbitrators. 24 hours. One history-making event. All that is needed is YOU!


The international record-setting event is fast approaching! The goal? For 50,000 indexers and arbitrators to submit at least one batch in a 24-hour period! Do more if you would like, but one batch is all that is required to be counted in the record! Please join volunteers from around the world on July 20 and 21 for this international history-making event!
This remarkable goal will require help from every current indexer and arbitrator out there, plus many new volunteers,* but it can be achieved if generous volunteers like you commit to participate. So mark your calendar, and spread the word! Invite friends and family to join you. Organize an indexing party; create a fun family challenge or ward service project. You can print and distribute this poster to spread the word. Everyone is needed. Everyone can make a difference!
Need more motivation? No matter where you live or what language you speak, you can lift where you stand and add to this historic worldwide achievement. You may choose to work on any project you prefer. However, we suggest that you work on the following projects in your native language:
  • US-Obituaries, 1980-2014
  • US-Passport Applications, 1795-1925
  • US, New Orleans-Passenger Lists, 1820-1902
  • UK, Manchester-Parish Registers, 1787-1999
The record-setting begins at 00:00 coordinated universal time (UTC) on July 21, which is 6:00 p.m. mountain daylight time (MDT or Utah time) on Sunday, July 20. It ends 24 hours later, at 23:59 UTC (or 5:59 p.m. MDT) on Monday, July 21. Check the FamilySearch Facebook event page for your local start time and status updates.
One batch is all it takes. Don’t miss your chance on July 20 and 21 to be part of this history-making event! Plan now to get involved and add your name to the record-setting legacy!
Thank you for helping to hasten the work of salvation!

corvallis parade

I almost forgot that Corvallis has a parade!  Free fun and you can even get candy thrown at you. ;)

All-American Anyone Can Join, Fabulous, Fantastic Fourth of July Parade:
Assemble at Central Park @ 9:30 am on 8th Street between Jefferson & Monroe.  Walkers are first in line. Vehicles are last in line. At 10 am, the  Diva sings the Star Spangled Banner at the corner of 8th & Madison Avenue, and the parade will get underway.  Parade goes east on Monroe to 1st Street, turns right (south) on 1st to Washington, turns right (west) to 2nd Street, turns left (south) on 2nd Street and proceeds to the Skate Park where parade disbands and heads down to the "Red White & Blue Riverfront Festival" then paraders can head on home (or spend the day at the Festival!).  Parade takes about 30 minutes.
