Please note that our local Nampa Sam’s club is closing it’s doors ( makes me sad to see any business close!)  So this is for local readers only!

Thanks to Teri for passing this along!

Good Evening.  I just wanted to let you in on something that others might find useful.  I was just at Sam’s Club as we were in the area Figured I might as well see what was left.  We did pick up a couple of things and our checker told us to go ahead and cancel our membership they were giving full refunds not prorating them.  I had to stand in line for about 20 minutes but I did end up with my full 40 dollar membership fee back even though my membership was coming up for renewal on Feb 14 2010.  Basically I got the use of Sam’s Club over the last year for free.  So if anyone else is a member it would be worth it to stop in before they close and get your refund.  I don’t know about you but 40 bucks is a decent amount of money to me.

UPDATE***Thanks to Russ for letting me know they have now marked everything down to only $3.99!!!!

Thanks to Mishelle for passing this along,

I just thought I’d let you know that at the Boise Town Square Mall the New York & Co. store is closing and so ALL of their clothes are priced at $5.99.  Kind of fun shopping when you don’t have to keep looking at the price tag!

Thanks to Teri for passing this along,

Have you been to the big white barn on Fairview and Cloverdale in Boise.  The thing I am happiest about is the case of broccoli for $8.95 it weighs 19 lbs including the box.  Tomorrow I am going to blanch and freeze it all.  My husband is thrilled because broccoli is one thing we can not seem to grow ourselves and he loves it.

I also got:

2 three lb bags of tangerines @.98 cents a bag

3 or so lbs of cherries at .98 cents a lb

Several salad tomatoes .98 cents a lb

And a few other things that I can’t remember the prices on, those just stuck in my mind.  It is family run and they are VERY friendly and helpful.  This would be a great place to check out when in Boise and their products are very nice.  I am so glad to find a place where I like the produce and the prices are frugal.

I got an email last week from one of my readers husbands who owns  a flooring installation company in Boise.  As a special thanks for helping  their family save with coupons. He  would like to offer A Thrifty Mom readers a discount of 15% on any type of flooring installation ( hardwood, carpet, tile, etc).  They install anywhere within 5 hours of Boise.

Thanks to Christy who sent me this great deal she got at a local shop in Caldwell, called Story and Company.  I have not been to this store, but it sound like one I need to visit! 

If any of you haven’t been to Story & Company in downtown Caldwell, then you are MISSING out!  Ruth Story has some incredible deals down there.  There is some fantastic original pieces of jewelry, amazing handbags and great clothes!  It is a consignment shop, but it very much has a department store feel to it.  I was just incredibly impressed.

I found some items that I just couldn’t live without!  I found this incredible jewelry set:

I was in my Albertsons store today and they have the kids Colgate toothpaste with Diego on it for clearance at 1.19 each. I had a 1.00 off two coupon that expired on 12/31/2009 not sure what insert. Total cost 1.38 for two tubes of toothpaste. They had many of them on the shelf. They also had some hams on sale with 2.00 off tags and there was Sierra Mist 2 liters that are part of the buy three get a 1.00 off with 50 cents off each coupons on them. I paid 1.10 for the 3, 2 liters. These were over by the meat too.

Thanks to Terri for passing this along,

Fresh express spinach 2.69. BOGO. There are coupons at 16th st store for 2.00 off of 2 packages, so net is 69 cents for two.

I was just watching my local Channel Seven news and they said that a  Christmas tree vendor is going to give away 150 FREE Christmas trees at the Nampa JC Penny store at 9 am tomorrow 12/22.  They want to give them away, instead of putting them thru a tree chipper.  If you know a family that still needs a tree…this is a very thrifty deal. I bet they will go fast so get there early!

Michael’s is making a bookmark Saturday, December 12th from 1-3PM. Details HERE.
