$1 Waffle Cones TCBY

Beat the heat this summer by heading to TCBY on Wednesdays. You can get a waffle cone for just $1. This is suppose to be a nationwide promotion but check with your local store to see if they are participating.

The waffle cones usually sell for about $3, so this is a great way to get a cool treat at an awesome price.

The Clearance Aisle

This past month Wal-Mart has had some items on clearance of interest to me. It’s mostly electronic items. By keeping a close eye on this aisle for a couple of weeks, I’ve been able to actually snag some good bargains.

What you need to keep in mind when shopping on the clearance aisle is that if there is a lot of one type of merchandise, then it will probably come down more in price. A Wii points bundle that included a classic controller glove and 2000 Wii points started out on clearance at $14.50. There were probably at least 50 of these available. I opted to watch and see if they moved at the price. They didn’t and within a few weeks they were marked down to $10. So, I bought one pack. There were still plenty of the bundles on clearance. They finally were marked down to $5, so I bought a few more. Now I have 6,000 Wii points and only spent as much I has would have on 2000 points.

You can’t wait for everything to marked even further down on clearance. There has to be a lot of the stock left. Still it’s worth a stroll down the clearance aisle just to check out the bargains as you never know what might be on sale.

Free Honey Recipe Book

Honey is not only a natural sweetener but can be very good for you. Local honey can help with allergies by allowing your body to be exposed to local pollens and giving it a chance to build up natural immunities.

You can also cook with honey. Use it instead of sugar, but you will have to use less since honey is much sweeter. Get some ideas by requesting a free honey recipe book from the National Honey Board. Allow for 2-3 weeks for your recipe book to be delivered.
