icedventi Have you looked into Etsy.com? I've seen a lot of baked goods on there and they go for pretty high prices! Also, what about a local farmers market? I don't think it's expensive to rent a booth and I'm sure hungry shoppers would love cookies!

ebsharer @ebsharer (5515) • United States 6 Nov 08

Fruit loops! My husband loves fruit loops - I don't want to spend $4.59 on a box when I can spend $3.99 on a bag of the generic and get twice as much. So I buy the generic and put it in the cereal container before he sees it....

icedventi That sounds like something my husband would do to me. Infact, if I send him to the store almost everything he comes home with is store brand. I'll occasionally make vegetarian enchiladas and not tell him there's no meat. And really, the beans are meaty...

Coke Rewards Point - Why don't they ever offer any good gift cards?

theproperator @theproperator (2429) • United States 7 Nov 08

Okay, so I have about 2000 coke points, and I am STILL waiting for them to offer gift cards as rewards. When I first joined, they had gift cards for stores I actually go to, like Home Depot; but by the time I had enough points for...

icedventi I've gotten a couple Sephora giftcards in the past from Coke. I really wish they'd add Sephora again because it was be great for Christmas shopping. Coke Rewards have gone downhill in the past year or so. At one point they had great prizes that I couldn't...

icedventi I see change coming, but not the kind he promised. I expect we'll see a lot of our rights taken away and live in fear of our own government. We will have to be heavily taxed in order to put all his new programs into effect.

icedventi I prefer watching them at home. It's very hard for me to just watch a movie so at home I'm able to play online, or look at recipes, or whatever else needs to be done. Plus going out to the movies can get expensive once you factor in sodas and snacks.

eztuner @eztuner (450) • United States 6 Nov 08
