Need a Backpack? I recommend...

Walgreens is selling backpacks right now. They are Buy 1 get 1 Free, so you get 2 for $9.99. They are pretty nice backpacks. They are big and durable and there are quite a few styles to choose from. If you need a couple of backpacks I recommend these. This particular sale ends Saturday, if you can't make it this week I'm sure they will feature this item again before school starts.



If you do go this week there is a $5 off $25 purchase coupon that is good today and tomorrow. Here is the link from the PYP blog about it: Walgreens Deals

PYP Contest

I've written before that I'm a Pinching Your Pennies Fan. Seriously, PYP is how I hear about just about everything...coupons, deals, trends, news, you name it. What can I say? I love the community of money saving mommies. They are having a contest right now to win an ipod touch, wish me luck.



Also right now the homepage takes you to their blog. If you prefer blog outlines rather than forums now is the time to check it out.
