Okie dokie! I think I'm going to move us all to the forums and leave Blogspot tomorrow!

Hi y'all! I have some errands to do this morning and afternoon so I'll have to skip the first post of the day. However, I will of course be back later tonite so that you are not too deal-starved. :}
Ooo...for a split second I thought it was going to rain today! It's strange how the weather has been changing so rapidly recently. Maybe watching Inconvenient Truth will explain it. ;) Good thing we got those free tickets a few days ago, eh? ;)
It's starting to cool down a little bit. Phew! It was strange looking at the back of the USA Today the other day and seeing the whole United States entirely in orange! I don't remember if I've ever seen that before!

Shipping Calculator Website
For all you ebay'ers and others who ship a bunch of packages, I found this pretty useful site that lets you compare all the major shipping companies (UPS, Post Office, FedEx, etc) just by inputting your address, the send to address, weight, etc. And it'll give you handy chart of the prices. THis could save you big bucks! Shipping stuff has gotten so expensive -- sometimes I wonder if it'd be cheaper to bring the gifts to people across the country in person. :}

Bayer oupon and Keychain
I'll start posting some little tutorials and whatnot about the new forums. There are little buttons and things that might need some explaining. I'll get right on it once I find an extra few seconds! :}
I just looked in on the forums and see that a couple of members have taken the initiative to post the deals that they've found in there...so, all you Vicky's Deal-ers still on the sidelines, come on in and say "howdy!" :}
Theragran-M Vitamins .99 @ Walgreens
All Theragran vitamins are 1/2 off in their weekly Walgreens sale. Go to your local Walgreens, look in the "Easy Saver" booklet they have in the front of the store and pull out the $3.00 coupon to use on them! For example, the Theragran-M (black box) vitamins were $8 or so, so about $4 with 50% off sale, and take $3 off that with the coupon = $1!
Microsoft Optical Mouse $4.99 @ CompUSA
Need a replacement mouse? I've actually used this Microsoft Mouse for quite a few years and it works fine...does what a mouse should do! :} It's normally $15.99 instore, but it's only $4.99 online. Shipping is about $5-6, so if you need more than one, it works out better. Or maybe you can print it out to your local CompUSA and have them match their own online price.

New Joann's Coupon: 40% off
Use code JULE6402 (expires 8/2/06) for 40% off an item at Joann's website. They seem to run these sales less often now (I used to see a 50% off from them almost every other day) so if you need something, this might be a good time to use it.

The heat is really beating me down...beating me DOWN!!!!!!!!
Hi y'all. Gonna start off spending a few moments letting y'all know what's going on with the blog -- so I moved to our new domain name (http://www.vickysdeals.com) and right now, I'm still using blogspot to post stuff, which is also shown on my new domain name. Neato, eh? But, this will stop soon. I will soon only post new stuff on the new domain, partially to avoid any blogspot outages like a few months ago!
Also, I see some of y'all checking out the forums -- it on the link on the left hand side of the main page. All you gotta do is register (takes only a minute, even for me! So it should take y'all 10 seconds. ;} ) and then check your email to activate the name. Then you can post! Get to know your fellow deal-mommies and deal-hubbies and deal-boys-and-girls. :}

Good night y'all! I'm going to be a good girl tonite and sleep somewhat early...maybe wake up early tomorrow to make some pancakes. ;)
A bit of a slow deal morning, but it gives us some more time to enjoy the sun. :}
Ah...sleepy...sleep deprivation makes Vicky sleepy...
I realized that I won't be able to post early tomorrow so I might as well post now just in case you need to get your fix tomorrow morning. ;)
I will probably be moving completely to the new server pretty soon! I just don't want to leave anyone stranded back at Blogspot so I will continue posting here too for a few days. Remember that the new site is http://www.vickysdeals.com :}

Make sure to sign up for the forums! :} That's kind of one of the main purposes of the site so that you can more directly connect with everyone else...weeeeeee :}
Hi y'all! I am going to try to post a little bit earlier during the evening posts from now on so that y'all can read it before you head to bed. I realized it was getting a bit late over the past few weeks when it came to my night posts. :} Hope this helps!
It's been a hectic week, and I always seem to be behind. :} Not to keep hyping it up too much, but we're moving to our main domain at http://www.vickysdeals.com fairly soon and it's pretty exciting! :}

Clean out your garage: eBay Listing Fees sale 7/20-7/21
I've sold a few things on eBay before and it's fairly easy. And for today and tomorrow, all listings are .20 no matter the starting price.

Oh please, someone take it!!! :}
Bowflex Ultimate $1299 (was $1899) @ Amazon
For those looking for a good home gym and know the Bowflex brand, then this might be a great deal for you. It's about $1,000 off from buying directly from Bowflex and $600 off normal retail price, not to mention the $250 or so you'll save on shipping if you bought it from Bowflex. But remember, you'll actually have to use it to make it a good deal. :}

If this weather doesn't let up, I may pass out fromt he heat...so if I don't blog for like a week, then you'll know that I am very sick from the heat and cannot lift my fingers due to lack of energy. :{ Seriously though...it's pretty darn hot. I think this is the hottest it's been around here for a few years.
Sweating like a PIG here! Oh my...so hot I want to scream, but if I do that, then all of the saliva from my mouth will instantaneously evaporate and that will only make things worse...
Hope everyone had a good weekend, however short it was. :} It seems to be a slow Monday morning for deals, so bear with me. :P
