8/13/10 Random Thoughts
My stepson's birthday was Thursday. He's 17!! A new Wasabi Japanese Restaurant opened up a while back. He's been wanting to go to it. Well...I've been checking out Restaurant.com to see if the certificates for Wasabi were in stock. Lo and behold they were on Tuesday!!! I snagged one Tuesday morning. I talked to hubby and decided to go back and get a couple more since Restaurant.com was at 80% off!! They were all gone when I went back - only 10 minutes later!!! For those who have been hesitant to use Restaurant.com, I can tell you that it's fantastic!! I've used it several times personally and have given the certificates as various gifts. I've never had any problems with my experiences at the various restaurants!
It's been another crazy week! I'm in charge of planning a family reunion for the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. I've enjoyed it, but it's SOOO much work! I feel like I'm behind on everything - reading & responding to emails, entering in my shopping trips, clipping, sorting, tallying, and mailing expired and unused coupons to the troops, and everything else! I really don't need any sleep - LOL!!

8/12/10 Target Trip
There are times that I wonder if Target is worth the hassle. I went in to get a few things, of which were the $.15 notebooks and the $1 Super Sticky Post-It notes. Well....the notebooks were out and the cheapest Super Sticky Post-It notes were $2.20. I asked an employee if they had anymore of them and/or if I could get a rain check. I was told I couldn't get a rain check for the notebooks because they weren't on sale. I was told that I couldn't get a rain check for the Post-It notes because they didn't carry them. I asked if they had an ad and was told no. Because it was my stepson's birthday and I didn't want to spend the day/afternoon/night in Target, I decided to let it go. Because I needed the Post-It notes, I got the ones for $2.20. I called the store when I got home and asked about the Post-It notes and notebooks. I was told, "We've been out of the notebooks." and "We don't always have what's in the ad." So...I sent an email to Customer Service (which I've done in the past to no avail). I received a response today telling me that, according to their inventory, the 2 items (notebooks and Post-It notes) are in stock. All I can say is "ARGH!!!"
