Good news for any Bi-Lo shoppers in Upstate SC. The Fuelperks program that has been ongoing on Charleston is coming to the Spartanburg area and possibly other areas of the upstate. I have only limited details for now:
For every $50 Spent you will receive 5 cents off a gallon of gas up to 20 gallons at Spinx and Shell gas stations. The new cards roll out on Sept 9th in the Spartanburg SC area. Home Depot will also be part of this program and some local eateries and other stores eventually.
What this means: You will need to get a new Bi-Lo card when they are available in your area. They are white and say “Fuelperks” on them. The only real difference is the back of the card has a magnetic strip rather than a bar code so you can swipe it at the gas pump. Shop like normal and build up your credits. Your $50 does not have to be all in one trip.
To get more information about Fuelperks go here (keep in mind this is Charleston specific so the participating gas stations may different in your area).

I don’t normally get into listing recalls but there have been so many deals lately with Eggo products that I fear some of you might have entire Eggo freezers and need to be alerted. Kellogg’s has just issued a recall of two Eggo products:
Eggo Cinnamon Toast waffles 10 pk ,with the UPC code 3800040440 and labeled with “Best If Used Before” dates beginning with: NOV22 10 EA, NOV23 10 EA and NOV24 10 EA.
Eggo Toaster Swirlz Cinnamon Roll Minis 8 pk, with the UPC code 3800023370 and “Best If Used Before” dates beginning with NOV15 10 EA.
If you do have any of these packages you are to return them to the grocery store for a full refund.
(thanks Veronica!)

Have you ever window shopped the mall wanting to buy it all but the thought of $50 for one shirt just wasn’t gonna work??
I want to encourage you to find a new way to look at the mall. Take window shopping to the next level in a sense. I recently had a girls day out and had a blast first going to the mall and “Window shopping” with my camera. I took pictures of the window displays and what they were wearing and then we went to T.J. Maxx and Marshalls and recreated a look that I liked for a ton less.
First, why TJ Maxx or Marshalls:
They are the leaders in “Off-Price” clothing. Everything is still name brand, but the price is between 30-60% lower than in a department store or designer store. Some people think it is because they are flawed or off season, but really each of these stores get’s over 10,000 new items each week and they work hard to stay in season and with the trends. According to their website for an item to be in their store it must meet these guidelines:
· Fashion – It must be a fashion classic or an on-trend, current season style.
· Quality – It must be first quality. We never compromise, ever.
· Brand – It must be a designer or brand name that customers know, trust and desire.
· Price – It must be negotiated to sell for up to 60 percent less than customers will find in a department or specialty store.
Now for the fun:
I walked the mall on Saturday afternoon so I definitely got some looks as I took pictures, even had a few college guys offer to jump in the window for me. It was fun just to start thinking. I’m not in any way a fashion expert so I wanted to really look at what was in season and in style, and try my hardest to match it. That challenge is what makes this outing so much fun. I quickly noticed scanning through all the pictures that every window display was wearing a tailored jacket so I knew that was my first goal. Then to match some of the shirts under the jackets.
After taking my pictures I went straight to Marshalls and T.J. Maxx. I took the camera with pictures in and then stayed focused trying to rebuild my outfit for the least amount possible. When you first walk into one of these stores the amount of clothing they offer can be overwhelming so shopping with a direct purpose also made it easier to sort through everything and only grab what worked to recreate my outfit.

Every weekend there are big variations in the newspaper insert coupons and I always try to encourage you to get the biggest paper available to you. Newspaper publishers are cutting costs though by decreasing delivery areas which makes it harder for many of us to find bigger papers.
Here are some ideas:
- Try local bookstores or Books-A-Million, Barnes & Nobles etc. Most carry large papers on Sundays that are intact with all ads and inserts. Talk to your store manager and ask them to order more if needed.
- Check at your Grocery stores. Many carry the biggest paper for your state on Sunday’s.
- Find a local newsstand (if you live near the airport check their newsstands too).
- Call a Relative that lives in those cities and pay them to mail you the inserts. They only need to mail them every other week or every 3 weeks.
For anyone in Columbia SC — We have a newsstand here, off St. Andrews Rd, that gets the Charlotte Observer!! They personally drive to Charlotte to get these so you will need to call by Friday at noon to reserve your copy for that Sunday. They do charge a little more than the paper costs,$3.29 ea, to cover their delivery time and costs. Call 798-6000 to reserve a copy. You can reserve as many copies as you like!
