What's on Sale #1: 4/9/14-4/12/14

*SIGH*

Yes, I am a day late getting this posted.  It's been a busy week.  My son's birthday was yesterday, so obviously I wanted to spend time with him when he came home from school.  I plan to homeschool all the kids next school year, so I've also been working on homeschool preparation projects all week, which has had me tying up the computer but in a different way than usual.

But it's all good, right?  All part of balancing priorities, part of the reason this blog was founded!

Here's a summary of some of the best sales available now through Saturday.  Stores in my area vary their weekly sales from Sunday thru Saturday, Monday thru Sunday, and Wednesday thru Tuesday, so to simplify things, I look at what's on sale between Wednesday thru Saturday.  Hope that makes sense!
