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.

In these tough economic times many families are finding that the budget just does not include an extended family vacation out of state. But that does not mean that your family cannot still have a fun “Staycation” on the cheap. A “Staycation” can be fun way to show your kids that money does not buy happiness and that there are great things to do right in your own hometown or in nearby cities that cost little to no money.
I am lucky to live in an area rich with touristy things to do since I live near the Black Hills of Wyoming and South Dakota. Our family has been enjoying spending a day a couple of times this summer exploring the wonderful and oftentimes cheap things to do where we live. So far this summer we have enjoyed a trip to Mount Rushmore, Devils Tower, Custer State Park, and we took a ride on a 1800’s train in the Black Hills. Most of our trips have cost under $75 including gas for a family of 6. We also have tried to include closer excursions without leaving our town. While we have a larger camping trip planned here soon to Yellowstone National Park, we are also planning some small excursions to local venues and attractions here in our own home town. Our town offers a museum, a campground, a county fair, a water park located inside a local hotel, recreation center, and an events center that hosts everything from rodeo events to theatre and concert performances.
Following are the steps to planning your family’s Staycation
Step 1: Make a decision about what sort of things your family enjoys. Does your family enjoy camping? Are your kids into dinosaurs? Is your spouse a history buff? Are you into nature? Consider the likes and dislikes of your family so that you can plan the perfect Staycation that the entire family will enjoy.
Some ideas might include:
For the nature buff:
For the history fan:
For the mad scientist:
For the animal lover:
Be creative and think outside of the box when looking for places to and things to do on your Staycation!
Also consider if you will stay in a hotel, campground or just want to plan a day trip and come back home at the end of the day.
Step 2: Research what is around you. Decide if you want to stay within your own city, county or have a travel limit of a certain number of miles away from home that you want to stay within on your Staycation and begin your research about what wonders are around you. If you are planning on staying within your own city begin by finding your local chamber of commerce. Most chamber of commerce’s these days have a website that contains lots of useful information about local businesses and attractions. Another option is to visit the websites of your city, county or state’s tourism departments. Below is a list of all 50 states tourism websites.
If you are going to stay in a hotel or campground make sure that you research where to stay and the best prices. Get your reservations early especially in the summer months as vacancies fill up quicker during peak seasons.
Step 3: Enjoy your Staycation! Pack a travel bag and cooler with the items you will need for your trip such as snacks and drinks from home, a picnic lunch, your camera and anything else you will need. Load up the family in the car and head on out and have fun being a tourist in your own city or state!
