Polo Shirts
With the coupon, your total MUST be more than $10, and it was just a random mailing. But even at $4.97, that is still a good deal for a nice polo shirt.

Walmart Clothes
Wrangler jeans still available for $4 a piece. Husky or Slim sizes also available. I bought a pair for Connor a few weeks ago, and they are holding up nicely. They have adjustable waist bands, and the color is lasting. Con calls them his "comfy jeans".
I bought these two items, a Dickies brand thermal shirt with beanie hat and a Dickies brand hooded sweatshirt, with a splash of purple in the hood. $3 each, originally $14 a piece. They are really cute, and seem to be good quality.
There were also men's and women's clearance clothes available starting at about $3. I am still on a clothing "diet" and didn't look at the women's section, but I am sure there are bargains to be had!

Why having a toddler is like being at a Frat Party
- There are half-full, brightly-colored plastic cups on the floor in every room. Three are in the bathtub.
- There’s always that one girl, bawling her eyes out in a corner.
- It’s best not to assume that the person closest to you has any control over their digestive function.
- You sneak off to the bathroom knowing that as soon as you sit down, someone’s going to start banging on the door.
- Probably 80% of the stains on the furniture contain DNA.
- You’ve got someone in your face at 3 a.m. looking for a drink.
- There’s definitely going to be a fight.
- You’re not sure whether anything you’re doing is right, you just hope it won’t get you arrested.
- There are crumpled-up underpants everywhere.
- You wake up wondering exactly how and when the person in bed with you got there.

There are many many more deals. I couldn't find the brochure online, and I don't think it came in the Winona paper, yet. So keep a look out!
AND
Menards MIR are for store credit! They mail you a store credit check, it looks some what like a check you can deposit, but you can't. Trust me. I used to be a teller, and folks would ALWAYS try to cash them, but you can't. So, if you aren't an avid Menards shopper, these may not be your kind of deals.

Garage Sales?!?!?
While outside, I was thinking, it's nearly garage sale season time!!! I am wondering, when do the big sales happen? Like the WE Valley, or Wincrest ones.
I am planning on having one of my own, since my "sell" pile has taken over a spare bedroom. Side note: if you are interested in boys things, up to 4 years, come on and shop it!
But seriously, when does the season officially start? When even-odd parking ends?

Walmart Clothes and MORE
There were a lot of clothes available, 3 piece track suits, lined hoodies, PJs, thermal shirts and jeans, all for $4. I would have snapped a picture, but BB was left in the car.
I also picked up the window insulating kit. I bought the same one last fall, it was enough to do 5 windows and has some weather striping as well. It was $9, but now they are marked down to $3. It worked so well this winter, I know I'll be doing it again next year.

** Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

And, this is a Winona thing. The Eau Claire KFC will give you all the napkins and refills you want. And they don't care if you set your kid on the counter so they can see the fryers better!
