  1. :yup: While at WalMart today I noticed in the Clearance section several laundry detergents, softeners, dishwasher soaps, etc. marked down 30-60%.

    I asked the clerk why, her reply was because the manufacturer isn't going to be using "this packaging style" anymore.

     

    I don't know about you..... but I could care less what the PACKAGING looks like, I just LOVE THE GOOD DEAL :eyepoppin

    A few I snatched onto are: Electrasol Dishwasher, Tide, Purex, Bounty,

  2. I'm a Kindergarten Teacher of 21 years and LOVE every minute of it!! :yup:

    Personally, I don't expect my parents to buy me a single thing.

    Yes, I am an underpaid Teacher working in a poor community, but I CHOSE THIS CAREER.

     

    Nothing saddens me more than for parents to spend $10-$20 on a gift for me when their child is standing there with holey jeans, no mittens or socks, and their little tummy a rumbling.

     

    I always send a note home two weeks in advance that states DO NOT BUY THE TEACHER A GIFT, SANTA WILL BRING HER ONE FROM ALL THE CHILDREN. I purchase for the class 2-3 books from Scholastic, a pair of fuzzy child-like slippers in my size, and a huge box of instant cocoa and marshmallows. NATURALLY, I am shocked :shock: when I open the big box and I have to Parade around the classroom in my funny looking slippers :gdclap: which the children just Laugh and Laugh! They say things like: Didn't we do a good job?

    Aren't You surprised Teacher? We told Santa what to get you! We told him our Teacher loves to read and drink cocoa, and wear fuzzy slippers!

    Then USUALLY the orneriest little one will say.... Teacher, don't forget you always say to share, and we will have hot cocoa, cookies, I will read to them in my brand new fuzzy slippers, and EACH AND EVERY CHILD WILL GO HOME THAT DAY THRILLED BECAUSE THEY GOT TEACHER A GIFT ;)

    There are always 4-5 children in each class whose parents don't buy "Teacher a gift" and that little child is SOOOO EMBARRASSED.
