You're cards will work for any item in the store! Sorry that the blog was not posted on Saturday. I was out of the store and had forgotten to pre-post the blog entry. Last week was a little crazy for me, but there was a good payoff this weekend. The MLB season officially started last week in Japan, but I chose to wait until all of the other teams got to kick off the season to announce it. Between yesterday and today, we will see both leagues get under way. What a glorious time of year! You can bet that my baseball predictions will be posted later in the week for everyone to see. FC Dallas also kicked off their soccer season yesterday. It was a little warmer at game time...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Malt, Caramel, Pina Colada, and Peach. Cake Loaves Weekend!

Green Tip: Credit card companies and banks often sell customer names and personal information to direct marketers; it's one of the reasons your mailbox is constantly stuffed with junk. Call you credit providers and tell them you don't want your information sold; it will cut down on the amount of unwanted mail you receive and toss. (Do Your Part: You can go to www.optoutprescreen.com or call the toll-free number 1.888.5OPTOUT to have the national credit bureaus remove your name from the lists they offer lenders. For any junk mail that does make it through, don't forget to recycle.) [Brought to you by...

Great options for Weight Watchers®. We also got in our shipment of PB2. This great tasting peanut butter has quickly become one of our top selling items. Don't forget to check it out this weekend. We've got a new template for the blog. I had a wonderful template picked out yesterday, but the horizontal line that separates the store business from the rest of the stuff was not showing up on it. After about 20 minutes of searching for a solution, I opted for a different template and changed up the colors on it. I hope you like the coloration. It wa...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Malt, Caramel, Banana Macadamia Nut, and Peach. Chocolate Special: Ask us for our chocolate special today and get any of our three almond barks (milk, white, or dark) for only $14.99 per pound (limit 2 pounds).

And, it is 2 Points for 1/2 of a cup instead of a tiny 1/4 cup serving. Upon getting ready to walk out the door to work this morning, I made the horrifying discovery that my keys were not where I normally leave them. I've got two places in the apartment that I keep my keys. One place is the counter in the kitchen and the other is on the bookshelf in the living room. I realized early on that the keys would not be a quick find. Setting in for the hard search, I went out to the car to make sure that they weren't ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Malt, Coffee Royal, Banana Macadamia Nut, and Peach. Ask for our Sierra deLite special today and get any number of the tasty Sierra deLite bars for only $2.99 (regularly $4.50). It's funny how much we take for granted. The little things in life that make everyday tasks easier really aren't appreciated until they are no longer there. This thought occurred to me last night as I was doing data entry on a computer with a 15 inch CRT monitor and a mouse with no wheel for scrolling. While the monitor was a bit more of a flashback than an annoyance, the mouse was just this side of slam it on the desk frustrating. I can't really recall the last time that I worked on a computer that did not have a mouse without the ability to scroll, but I would be willing to bet that it was in the high school computer lab on the old Mac II. I don't think that the work took too much additional time because of this lacking functi...

Gnu Bar Case Special: Buy three cases of any varieties of the Gnu Flavor and Fiber bars (total of 48 bars) and receive a 15 dollar yogurt card in addition to the everyday case price break of $34.99. Once again, we are running low on PB2 . It seems that the orders are starting to come through on the internet as well as in the store. We should have enough to make it until our next order arrives on Thursday or Friday. But, if you need some PB2, it is a good idea to come and get it early. Two years ago today, we made our first official post to the Sugarless deLite blog. After a couple of weeks of research at the beginning of March, we were ready to start on March 23. This date was our test run and the following was the first post. Since then, the blog has had its template changed three times, has undergone several different formate changes, has grown to include quizzes, ...

Public Service Announcement: FDA Warning on Cantaloupes . "People should throw away cantaloupes from a Honduran manufacturer believed to be linked to a salmonella outbreak, the government said Saturday. The Food and Drug Administration issued the alert for the melons from Agropecuaria Montelibano. Grocers are advised to remove from their stock any cantaloupes from this company. People should check with stores to see if recently purchased cantaloupes came from Honduras." I didn't get a chance to mention it yesterday because we were so busy during the morning, but we have added a new Friend of Sugarless D link to the blog. The Wilken Family Eye Ca...

Green Tip: Contrary to office legend, turning off your computer when you go home at night does no harm. The good it does, according to a study from Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, is substantial-one workstation (computer and monitor) left on all night for a year is responsible for one ton of carbon dioxide emissions. Switching it off at night and setting it to sleep while idle during the day can reduce energy use by 80 percent. (If every computer and monitor in the country wer...

Next year, we will get a new version of the hundred dollar bill. I'm hoping for pink or canary yellow on this one. Here is one final note about A Wrinkle in Time . It is a small passage t...

Yesterday, my wife got me one of those thinking of you gifts because, as she said, she was to excited to wait two months to give it to me for my birthday. I'm glad she didn't. In our almost five years of knowing one another, I'm going to put this one in the top five of gifts. I might even go as high as top three. What gift could rank so high you ask? Behold, a cassette tape of Prince and the Revolution's Purple Rain album. Prince is one of my guilty music pleasures, and I consider Purple Rain one of his best albums. This tape will certainly come in handy on vacations to Austin or trips over to Arlingto...

The other hot seller this weekend was the new BBQ entry from Hallman's Bear Creek. If you are a BBQ lover, you have to ask for a sample of either of the two sauces. You're going to love them. If you like something a little bit hotter, try the Jalapeno sauce which has a wonderful hot flavor. Last, you can use the grilling rub to flavor not only meat, but vegetables, fish, stews, salads, pizzas, and burgers too. (We'll have this on the website in the next few weeks.) I finished my first book in the TBR challenge last night. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'...

(Limit one, excludes XL.) In the day and age of DVD's, one of the big bonuses is that TV shows can often find a second life. Word of mouth is always the best form of advertising. Unfortunately, very few shows are ever given a good chance to succeed on the networks before they are put out to pasture. This is the story of a show called Firefly . If you are a fan of Joss Whedon's other TV shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel , then you are going to enjoy the Firefly universe. If you are not familiar with his other works, he has a sharp writing style with smartly written dialogue. His characters all have flaws and are all searching for something. He also has a tendency to write strong female characters. The show Firefly , while set in space, is not your standard heavy handed science f...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Butterscotch, German Chocolate Cake, Orange Vanilla, and Lemon.

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Butterscotch, German Chocolate Cake, Orange Vanilla, and Lemon. Yogurt cones are on sale today for $2.08. Just ask us for the cone special. Due to the potential for icy weather this evening, WE WILL CLOSE AT 5:00 PM TODAY. The rest of the LaTortilla order came in yesterday, so we are now restocked on all of the varieties of LaTortilla (Green Onion, Garlic, Wheat, Rosemary, and Tomato Basil). The bagels DID NOT arrive today. I fully expect them to be in tomorrow. We do still have several of the flavors available in the freezer. [I have no doubt that the talk of the day is going to be the weather around here. It looks like we are in for another batch of snow this evening. This time we might even get a little ice mixed in with the storm system. Once again, the weather the next day should prevent it from being anything substantial. This sure is shaping up to be an odd March.] When I wrote the above paragraph, I had not seen the upd...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Maple Nut, German Chocolate Cake, Orange Vanilla, and Lemon. Come in today and ask for the Walden Farms special to receive one dollar off of any Walden Farms products. (Limit 6.) Don't forget to sample them while you are in the store. We did get in one case of the original wheat low carb tortillas from LaTortilla. I do expect the rest of the order to come in within the next two days. What a wild a crazy night we had in the political election season. The Republican side got its closure last night with John McCain getting the 1,191 delegates needed to elect him as the presidential nominee for the party. The Democratic side had a crazy and late night with an assurance of more to come. It looks like the race is going to go down to the wire. I've got to say that this is by far the most interesting political race that I have seen. Political junkies love this stuff. After staying up and watching the election results, I finished...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Maple Nut, German Chocolate Cake, Pina Colada, and Lemon. Get your cake slices buy one, get one free when you ask for the special today. (Free cake slice is of equal or lesser value. Limit two free slices.)

If you are voting in the Republican primary, then all you have to do is show up to your precinct polling station and vote. If you are voting as a Democrat, then you have the chance to legally vote twice. Vote today, then caucus for your candidate at your precinct polling station at 7 o'clock. Make sure to bring your proof of voting (a signed slip or stamped voter registration card). The caucus vote decides 30 percent of delegates.

March Calendar: (click to enlarge) March Coupons: (click to enlarge and print) My wife and I once again had a wonderful time in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. We had a somewhat relaxing weekend as we shopped and ate our way through the downtown and dreamed of the future. All that hiking around up and down the hillside can get pretty exhausting, but this really is just a fantastic place to go and get away from everything for a few days. Since we went on the weekend, more of the stores and restaurants were open. It was a perfect way to celebrate the close of our first year of marriage and the start of the rest of our lives together. I love you Erica. Happy Anniversary!

While it is available in the store, I forgot to upload it to blogger before I left for our weekend getaway. Fortunately, it will be up on Monday along with the coupons for the month of March. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. So what does a couple do for their one year anniversary? Well, we're going back to our honeymoon spot. Aside from being a wonderful town with great food and shops and trails, Eureka Springs is also a relatively short distance. At just over six hours, we were more than ready to make this trip for t...
