Kansas Citywide Garage Sales this Weekend

  • Wakefield City Wide Yard Sale Saturday, May 25, 2013. Pretty smart for this small town near Milford Reservoir to have its citywide garage sale this weekend, as there is bound to be lots of traffic up near the lake.

Wichita Neighborhood Garage Sales and other large sales

  • Park East Neighborhood Garage Sales Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, May 23-25, 2013. Sales on both Hillsdale and Cardinal Streets. Apparently the streets in the neighborhood circle around; the lister says to make sure you go around the whole circle so you don’t miss any of the sales.

Here’s a great deal from Living Social to help you get your fun summer photos organized and printed right away.

Pay $10 for an 8×8 20-page hardcover photobook from Shutterfly – or $14 for an 8×11 20-page hardcover photo book.

We’ll have until July 23, 2013 to use our vouchers at the Shutterfly site for the *full promotional value. Let’s get some books printed as evidence that we had fun this summer!

(The voucher is worth what you paid for it until sometime in May 2018. Clearly it is a better deal if you use it before the July 23 deadline, but if for some reason you don’t, your voucher isn’t worthless. Full details at the Living Social website.)

If your mom is as thrifty as you, consider giving her a subscription to All You magazine. Couponers love this one, because each issue has tons of coupons that are usually high-value, like $1 and $2 off, for example. (The articles are good too, with a definite emphasis on thrift.)

All You is offering a BOGO deal on subscriptions right now for Mother’s Day. From May 1 – May 31, 2013, you can buy one subscription and get a second subscription FREE. Your total price would be $19.92 for TWO subscriptions, so not bad at all. For this magazine, that’s a very good price.

And you don’t have to get one for your mom; you could split this BOGO deal with any couponing friend or relative.

The BOGO subscription deal is direct from the publisher.
