Big Lots!

Just came back from Big Lots! (I went to the one on Fairview & Main in Meridian-in Albertsons shopping Plaza) I found some good deals! They still have some Christmas items, all of which are marked 90% off. I found some cute ribbon which ended up being 15 cents for 3 yards and got a couple rolls of wrapping paper for 20 cents a roll.
My favorite find was the potting soil (yeah, I know, I'm getting spring fever a bit early...) They had the HUGE bags of Miracle Grow Organic Potting Soil, 2 cu ft for $8 a bag! Lots of other marked down items. Let me know what you find!

Pepsi 12-pack $2 at Target!

Thanks to my SIL, Kally, from St. George, UT for this awesome info:

"Hey Brenda I just wanted to let you know a good deal I found at Target today! All Pepsi products are 2.00 for a 12 pack! This is extremely good, they have been 2.60 on sale at albertsons but you have to buy 5 of them. At target you can buy up to 20 I think. Or maybe it was 10, not too sure and cant remember, but GREAT deal. Thought I'd share with you, I think it ends saturday also, because they will have the new ad come out on sunday! Thanks! Hope all is well."

Thanks Kally!
