If you have a favorite stuffed animal that needs a quick freshening up but you don’t want to put it in the washing machine (or it is not machine washable), just rub a little cornstarch into the toy’s fur. Let it stand awhile and then brush out. If the toy is a little musty smelling use baking soda and cornstarch instead!
Supervalu has unveiled its latest collection of frozen treats, including four new Stone Ridge Creamery tart frozen yogurts and six new Culinary Circle ice cream desserts.
The tasty treats have arrived just in time to help celebrate National Ice Cream month and are now available nationwide at any of Supervalu’s family of stores.
Wal-Mart Stores said Tuesday it plans to open its first supercenters in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, according to a report from Reuters.
The retailer will open two of the big-format stores; both 185,000-sq.-ft. stores are slated to open in Regina and Saskatoon in early 2010.
Analysts said the move into the largely agricultural-based province will heighten competition among existing grocers.
“It definitely will make them sharper on their price points if they are not there already, but I don’t think that overall it does anything to the companies just because obviously they have been competing with Wal-Mart for several years now and it is nothing new there,” Brian Yarbrough, a retail analyst at Edward Jones in St. Louis told Reuters.
Earlier this year, Wal-Mart said it planned to spend C$115 million ($104.4 million) to build a 400,000-sq.-ft. distribution center in Balzac, Alberta. The facility is expected to open in late 2010 and act as a distribution hub for fresh food in Western Canada.
Meijer announced that it will source more local produce as part of its “Home Grown” initiative to help boost local economies.
According to Meijer, its Home Grown program pumps more than $50 million into local economies. The company added that it is one of the largest buyers of locally-grown produce in Michigan, and one of the region’s biggest, with local produce accounting for nearly 30% of all the fruits and vegetables sold by the 189-store supercenter chain during the peak growing season.
“Meijer has always been one of the largest purchasers of locally grown fruits and vegetables during the peak growing seasons,” said Hank Meijer, co-chairman and CEO of the company. “This year we plan to expand our Home Grown initiative by working with more than 65 local growers throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.”
Sourcing locally, according to Meijer, has helped reduce shipping costs, fuel consumption and deliver a fresher product at a lower price to customers.
As a member of a really great couponing community, you never want to miss a thing. As one of the owners of a really AMAZING couponing community, it’s hard to be away for even a minute.
But this spring, I had a wonderful opportunity to work with the folks at Entertainment Book on a new marketing promotion for them. The result? A 20+ page ebook I developed on how to maximize your savings and make the most of your Entertainment Book.
The strategies I outlined in the ebook are ones that I have personally used for years. They are the reason I buy multiple copies of the book year in and year out. They deserved more consideration that I could do in simply one article on our homepage or in a thread in our forums. And they are good enough ideas that sharing them with people outside our community was important to me.
In taking this spring “off” from Hotcouponworld to write this ebook, I learned alot about myself as a writer, a couponer, a saver, and a marketer.
Now we’re ready to share this treasure with our Hotcouponworld family. I hope you enjoy reading it and that it brings your family savings. If you like it, feel free to share the link with your family and friends.
