FAMILY DOLLAR COUPONS

I'm not sure if these are store coupons
or manufacture coupons. So I do not
know if you could combine them with
another manufacture coupon.

Family Dollar does take manufacture coupons
at face value.

-------------------------------------------

Today in Speedway I found these coupons
on the shelf and cooler door:

-$1.00 off any 2 Fiji WAter 1 liter or larger

-.25 cents off Sun Chips 2-2 3/4 oz bags, any variety

------------------------------------------

It's 12:30pm and we just got back from taking
the kids sledding. I took my camera along
but forgot my camera card. That sucked!
Maybe next weekend.

I had to make a pit stop at Family Dollar.
Tony wanted me to get a quart of oil and tranny fluid.
I priced them at Walgreens and they wanted waaaaayyy too much!
At Walgreens:
-oil $5.80 a quart
-trans. Fluid $4.00

Family Dollar

-$1.99 Quaker State Tranny fluid (was $3.50 on clearance!)
-$2.75 Quaker State oil

I saved $5.00 by buying at Family Dollar instead of Walgreens!!

Oh yeah and while at Family Dollar I asked the
assistant manager if they combine manufacture
coupons and store coupons.
She said NO. So there ya go.
I made the comment that they probably are the
only store that doesn't when Walgreens and CVS does.
She said she had never heard of such a thing.

Well ya know who's throwing their money away,
the lady at Family Dollar!

We have yet another Winter Storm Warning, Ahhh!
I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning
at 10am in Upper Arlington. This should be fun
drive! Still getting checked up as to what
has been wrong with me the last month or so.

**WINTER STORM WARNING Monday & Monday Night**

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with light snow developing. Low 18.

MONDAY: Heavy Snow. Accumulations of 5-9". High 28.

MONDAY NIGHT: Snow likely. Low 20.

A WINTER STORM WARNING will go into effect early Monday morning lasting through early Tuesday morning. Heavy bands of snow will develop into Monday with 5-9" of snow forecast for the Columbus Metro area. The heavy bands of snow will extend from Central Ohio to Southwest Ohio. Snowfall amounts will be significantly less just North and Northwest of Columbus.

Meantime, roads will become icy and snow covered making driving very difficult into Monday afternoon and evening.

The snow will quickly taper off into Tuesday morning, but strong winds will begin developing causing blowing and drifting snow.
