Target- Last minute good Price Matchup
A local grocery store (Food Town) had Tyson chicken in the box on sale for .99 a box(no limit). Unfortunately, the store closest to me only takes 2 like coupons, so it was not worth it to me to stop there. The great thing is I am surrounded by wonderful coupon friends that remind me or tell me about deals I overlook and remind me about price matching(another area I tend to overlook)
So, today I got these 12 boxes of chicken wings and Breast tenderloins for .44 a box.
Price match at Target for .99 each - .55 insert from 10-11 SS.
Total cost $5.28!
Thanks Again Maya for telling me about this deal.

Anon, yes, this was advertised in the large ad available at FoodTown.

Why post the deal if its unavailable.

Anon, I posted the deal as a reminder(which I needed myself) to look at ALL the sales ads you get, even for smaller stores, because there is always the opportunity to price match at Walmart or Target. It is possible this deal will even come around again.

Just moved to Katy and found your blog! Thanks for posting the deals, especially the local ones.

This deal has ended but it's another reminder about the benefits of price matching.
HEB ad (ended 1/5) had Weight Watchers Smart Ones frozen meals for $.99. Target had a special for buy 10 and get a $5 gift card. I took the ad to Targets customer service and they matched the HEB price. Then the boxes had a $4 off 10 coupon on them.
So $.99 x 10 = $9.90 - $4 coupon = $5.90 (plus you get a $5 gift card - the register automatically tells them to give it to you).
If you purchase another 10 you can use that $5 gift card and pay only $.90 for that grouping of 10.
And I started out with a $10 gift card from the pharmacy so I paid nothing out of pocket for 40 frozen meals. (I did this at a couple of different stores so as not to annoy any one person since it is a hassle for them. I did have one difficult manager refuse to do it but 2 other stores did it).
- January 6, 2010 at 11:31 AM
Oh, okay that makes sense. Then thank you for posting the FoodTown deal.
- January 6, 2010 at 4:37 PM
Thanks for sharing your HEB/Target deal. And thanks zoeys mom for posting it.

Bigcommerce Next is the 2014 update to Bigcommerce but apart from a new name there is quite a lot of back-end functionality that is being upgraded or simplified. Existing customers have probably stumbled across many of these features in the last few weeks as they were incrementally dripped into the Bigcommerce stores. What is Bigcommerce Next? Simply an effort by Bigcommerce to simplify the Bigcommerce platform while making it more visually appealing and powerful. Sounds like a good goal from an ecommerce provider and the first set of features and simplifications is a fantastic start.
New Features in Bigcommerce Next:
- App Store. Simple installation of extra functions for your store like rewards systems, shipping and social incentives for shoppers
- Premium Themes – extra fancy, full featured usually responsive themes you can pay for over and above the free themes already provided.
- A new blogging engine to replace the old news feature.
- iPhone and android apps for managing your store on the run
- Stripe and Simply Commerce payments
- Google Trusted stores integration
- Traffic Engine – a wizard offering step by step task lists to help you get more visitors to your shop
- Shipping Label Printing – finally – well almost, it is still in beta but one email and you could help shape it
Bigcommerce Premium Themes
These are good. Very good. Responsive design, well coded, clean, fast and less than $200 which is about a tenth of what you will pay for a custom theme design. I have a few customers already who have bought premium themes to speed up new shop development and everyone of them has been impressed.
Bigcommerce App Store
The "Single Click Store" that is actually two clicks. It's a great base. Shopify have had this for years and use it to great effect to keep the core store simple and letting customers add functionality and complexity only if and when they want it. It also helps store owners manage costs in the early days before adding more as the shop develops and generates a return. As expected there is very little in here but look at that to change once developers start porting apps over from other carts like Shopify.
Bigcommerce Blogging Engine
I actually have a whole post dropping tomorrow on which blogging option to use for Bigcommerce – WordPress, the old Bigcommerce News and Updates or the new Bigcommerce Next Blogging Engine so I won't go into too much detail except to say its a good start but seems very incomplete especially from a post management point of view. You can't edit a post date once it's published which is a HUGE pain when you are bringing a new customer over from another platform and have to bulk load lots of posts. It also means you can't keep your posts fresh. The templates for the blog do not let you add meta data to the archive page like date published and author.
So what's good?
- You can add feature images
- The content editor allows you to insert tables easily (take that wordpress)
- You can very simply insert products with links and images to make blog readers buyers.
- Tag support,
- Custom URL's for posts and the blog itself (you are not forced to use /blog/),
- Disqus comment integration with one toggle,
- Social media sharing options.
It isn't a WordPress killer yet but for a good number of Bigcommerce customers they maybe able to soon dispense with the second hosting bill and move their blog onto there store. This will change bandwidth charges and Bigcommerce need to create a WordPress blog importer – maybe I should write that I have nothing but free time – if you see the blue banner asking you to switch you probably should but consult your SEO first because you may have to do some URL redirects to keep the Google juice alive – I have not yet heard back from Bigcommerce about what happens here. Look for tomorrow's post with that answer.
Bigcommerce Google Trusted Stores Integrated
Lifted right from the press release because this is a no brainer. If you qualify you should get it, to get it you should follow the steps required. Admit it you love the way I simplify things don't you?
– Start Bigcommerce quote –
Google Trusted Stores is a certification program for online merchants. Similar to programs like the Better Business Bureau, it increases buyer confidence for online merchants. Google wants to ensure that all GTS stores are of a certain size and meet excellent customer service standards. To that end, they have performance requirements to apply to the program, plus some additional store-side requirements that need to be met before the badge goes live.
Performance Requirements:
- Minimum Order Volume: 200 orders/month on a rolling 28-day basis
- Trackable Orders: >50% of orders trackable via supported carriers (UPS, FedEx, USPS)
- On-Time Shipping: >90% of orders shipped on time
Additional Requirements:
- Be on your own domain and SSL certificate
- Supply a shipping feed to measure performance
- Supply a cancellation feed to measure performance
- Insert Google's badge code on every page
- Insert Google's checkout confirmation code on the order confirmation page
The Bigcommerce Google Trusted Stores integration makes it easier for clients to qualify for the program if they meet the above criteria by building in the required feeds and inserting the badge code on every page of the store.
– End Bigcommerce quote –
Bigcommerce Next – Conclusion
I will be circling back to this post so make sure you bookmark it. The long and the short of this 2014 Bigcommerce version is that it is still moving the software in the right direction. There is still the same differentiation between Shopify and Bigcommerce and I will update all the reviews and tools (especially the Shopify 2 review) because there are a lot of people asking should they choose Bigcommerce or Shopify and to be honest it is usually obvious. Both products are poles apart in implementation and usage and the two of them really do stand head and shoulders above any other ecommerce platform on the market. Look for some shopping cart reviews and shopping cart comparisons to be updated throughout the week.
Do you want a take away line to retweet?
Bigcommerce Next is a great progression of today's leading shopping cart platform. Simpler interfaces, more powerful marketing tools and third party apps and themes will provide the platform customers need to build profitable online stores.
More to come, come back tomorrow to find out where Bigcommerce Next missed the mark

According to Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports, the Reds signed outfielder Gary Matthews Jr. to a minor league deal. He posted Taveras/Patterson numbers for the Mets to begin the year, before getting released. Should we be reading anything into this? It doesn't seem like the Reds are in urgent need of an outfielder at the moment, so maybe this is an insurance move as someone they can keep at AAA until they need him off the bench?

The proposal to open an alternative school in Panama City Beach was the big topic at Bay District School Board's Round Table Discussion. Board Members held the casual style meeting Thursday afternoon to further discuss the issues they face this school year.
They focused on a proposal which would open an alternative school for about 50 at-risk or expelled students in a vacant building at Arnold High School. The District would potentially contract with an outside company to run the program but would also need to make costly renovations to the building.
Some Board Members said they're still not sold on the idea. They're unsure about how effective the school would be and the return on investment.
"There are still a lot of reservations from a lot of Board Members about which direction to go," Steve Moss said. "The Beach District is my District. I have a lot of reservations about putting an alternative [school] on the campus of an already operating high school."
"If someone can prove to me that [the school] is worth an opportunity to try it out and give it a chance to work, certainly everyone in this District would love to [help] some of those kids we would otherwise lose," Ginger Littleton added.
School Board Members did not make or approve any decisions at the Round Table Discussion.
They also discussed school start times, extending the length of the elementary school day, and the need for an additional elementary school in Panama City Beach in the future.

The man accused of fatally stabbing Kyle Sheets aboard a boat in Mystic last year pleaded guilty today in New London Superior Court to felony murder.
Christopher M. Allen, 24, will be sentenced early next year to 32 years in prison.
He is one of four young men charged in connection with the Sept. 26, 2008, killing of Sheets during a botched robbery aboard Sheets' father's boat, the Crucible, which was docked at the Seaport Marina. Sheets, 29, had worked for a marina and was a boating and fishing enthusiast along with his father.
According to police, 18-year-old Bryan Sutton and 15-year-old Bruce Grisafe served as lookouts while Allen and Vincent Green, 18, boarded the boat with the intention of robbing Sheets. The robbery went awry, and Allen stabbed Sheets with a serrated knife, police said.
The other men's cases are pending, and the state will attempt to resolve them now that Allen has pleaded out.
Sutton is free on a $250,000 cash or surety bond and is scheduled to appear in court again on Dec. 21. Green is being held on a $99,000 cash bond and is due in court on Jan. 7. Grisafe is being held on a $250,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 10.

Movie Info
Action-adventure director Stanley Tong (Supercop, Rumble in the Bronx) did a change of pace by directing this live-action adaptation of UPA's bumbling, near-sighted Mr. Magoo the animated-series character created during the '40s by John Hubley and others for the cartoon short Ragtime Bear (1949). Millionaire Quincy Magoo (Leslie Nielsen) won't admit he needs glasses, so nephew Waldo (Matt Keeslar) removes obstacles in Magoo's path.

All Critics (28) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (26) | DVD (2)
By turns frenetic and flat-footed, Mr. Magoo is an uninspired live-action comedy.
If you really hate your kids, pack them off to this slapdash farce, whose only funny moment is the PC disclaimer at the end about the Disney company's humanist concern for blind people.
Incomplete as a cartoon, indecisive as comedy, halting as adventure, Mr. Magoo turns out to be a shortsighted project.
Here's where I'm supposed to suggest how the film might be better. But I can't think of anything to say other than to make the film again, with different writers and a new director.
Only a couple of good gags in its pileup of otherwise lame jokes keep the production from being an unqualified stinker.
Mr. Magoo is not just an insult to the blind and near-blind, it's an insult to every human being who has the misfortune to suffer through this dreadfully unfunny, 90 minute atrocity.
Nielsen, an actor who is either brilliant or abysmal depending on the material, veers towards the latter.
Stinkier than a visit to the local tip
Among those who will be insulted by this painfully unfunny comedy are women, the elderly and members of several ethnicities, as well as moviegoers with even the slightest modicum of taste.
Hopefully, this picture will force producers to think harder about which subjects have promise and which do not.
It's a mess best left to the nitrate ashes of forgotten film and television history.
When even the outtakes you see over the end titles don't raise a single titter, you know you're in trouble.
I grew up with Mr. Magoo. I watched Mr. Magoo. I loved Mr. Magoo. Leslie Nielsen, you're no Mr. Magoo.

Angelica Zapata was one of only two horses in Saturday's $100,000 Wasted Tears Stakes at Gulfstream Park that had never won on turf, but trainer Ron Pellegrini was hardly discouraged about his 5-year-old mare's chances in the 1 1/16-mile turf stakes.
The bettors, who made Angelica Zapata their 5-2 favorite in a strong field of seven fillies and mares, agreed, and the multiple-stakes winner on dirt didn't disappoint them. After making a three-wide bid on the far turn, the daughter of Sharp Humor kicked in through the stretch to prevail by 1 1/4 lengths over the late-running Ann of the Dance, who was coincidently the other horse looking for her first win on turf.
Jockey Juan Leyva gave Angelica Zapata a perfectly executed ride, saving ground around the first turn after breaking from an outside post position, swinging three-wide leaving the backstretch in pursuit of pacesetter Miss Montreal and urging her on to victory in the stretch run.

Okay, I finally got the time to answer to this.
I figure you are the same person who sent me the other asks and shamed me on /mlp/, hm? If not, that's not that important anyway, cause I would say the same thing to all of you people.
I know that kind of tone, those kinds of words. They are caused by pain and jealousy. Only a few - if no one ever - told you that you are worthwhile the way you are. They told you to loose weight, they told you to act sane, to be pretty and perfect and nice. By television, friends, parents, foes, bullies.
But you know what? They are all wrong. They do this to you because it was done to them. They are not able to see the beauty and worth you carry because the are blind of pain. And you will never have a constant happiness if you don't manage to break out of this circle.
Your body is a beautiful creation. Your soul might be wounded, but it's worthwhile, too. Your shape is individual, your flaws are just as exciting as your pros. You are the most important person in your life, and you should love this person. You should love your body as it cares for you - it makes you breath, it healths you, it let your regenerate your energy. It literally loves you. Break out of the circle and out of the darkness, you can do it. I know it, because I've been in there for a very long time. And once you did it, words won't hurt you anymore. Because you know it better and know why they are spoken.
This is a perfect, glorious answer.
Y'all should read this! Whenever you feel bad about yourself and whenever you want to be mean to somebody because something doesn't sit right with you.
Love yourself. It will make your life so much easier and happier.

Monday in Tampa: Utah delegates at GOP convention work on hygiene kits ahead of Tropical Storm Isaac
Jae C. Hong, Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — With the first day of the four-day Republican National Convention cut short by Tropical Storm Isaac, the Utah delegation quickly assembled 1,000 hygiene kits that will be distributed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, possibly to storm victims.
"Our goal here is to leave Tampa better than we found it," Wright said.
Utah House Majority Leader Brad Dee, R-Ogden, said the state has a reputation for showing compassion. "It's important to give back," Dee said. "We have so many blessings that come into our lives."
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, thanked the participants for their work.
"It reflects well of our state and of our party," Lee said. "It's good to be a Republican. Most importantly, it's good to be getting a new president of the United States."
The group sang songs while packing plastic bags with toothbrushes, soap, towels and other items, including, "God Bless America" and the fight songs for both Brigham Young University and the University of Utah.
Several Mormons from other delegations joined the service project, including Richard Fale of Hawaii. Fale told the group how difficult it is to be Republican in a state dominated by Democrats.
There were boos when Fale said Obama claims Hawaii as his home state. "If Hawaii was not as liberal as it is, I do not believe we would have produced one the most liberal presidents," Fale said.
Arizona delegate Heather Sandstrom led them in chanting "yes" to a list of Romney's positions, including repealing Obama's health care plan. Romney, she said, "will strengthen our country at home and abroad."
Mitt Romney will survive "that meat grinder called a presidential election" and win in November, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch told members of the Utah delegation to the convention at their first breakfast meeting Monday
"I'm so proud of Mitt Romney," Utah's senior senator said at an "Omelets with Orrin" breakfast honoring his 36 years of service that included a rallying speech by Josh Romney, one of two Romney sons who lives in Utah.
Hatch, lauded by Gov. Gary Herbert, Sen. Mike Lee and other members of the delegation, said Romney isin a tough battle to defeat President Barack Obama.
"To go through that meat grinder called a presidential election and keep his chin up with all of the rotten things that the administration has been doing to him, and their allies, and keep coming back, and keep that smile on his face, I've got to tell you, we all owe him a great debt of gratitude for hanging in there," Hatch said.
He praised Ann Romney for keeping her chin up as her husband is criticized on the campaign trail.
"It had to be difficult for any woman to see her husband constantly torn to shreds by people who don't even deserve to carry his shoes," Hatch said, slamming the media for finding fault with Romney because he shaved a fellow student's hair as a teenager and once drove with the family dog on the roof of his car.
"Guess what Obama was doing back then," Hatch said. "Mitt has led a pretty pristine, pure and good life and that's coming through to the American people. It scares them. They're not used to something like that."
Josh Romney, who lives with his family in Millcreek and has considered running for office in Utah, said the same enthusiasm voters had for Obama four years ago has been transferred to his father.
"I have yet to meet someone who says, 'I voted for (2008 GOP nominee Arizona Sen. John) McCain four years ago and this time, I'm going for Obama,'″ Josh Romney said. "The same thing President Obama had four years ago, we've got it now."
Utah GOP Chairman Thomas Wright showed a brief presentation outlining how Romney can win the presidency by taking swing states like Nevada, Indiana and Virginia along the I-80 corridor, one of the scenarios mapped out by the Romney campaign.
Wright said the "I-80 plan" banks on Republican gains in those states in the 2010 election as well as declines in Obama's job approval rating and support for his health care plan.
It looks like 4th District congressional candidate Mia Love will speak earlier that originally scheduled. Her address to the convention is now expected to come shortly after 5 p.m. MST on Tuesday.
An exact time is still being deterimined.

Comparative Forum Non Conveniens and the Hague Judgments Convention
Ronald A. Brand
University of Pittsburgh - School of Law
Texas International Law Journal, Vol. 37, pp. 467-498, 2002
U. of Pittsburgh Legal Studies Research Paper Series
This article begins with a discussion of the application of the forum non conveniens doctrine in four common law legal systems. It then briefly notes related concepts applied in the courts of two civil law systems. This discussion is followed in Part IV by a brief history of the negotiations at the Hague Conference on Private International Law for a Convention on Jurisdiction and Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters and a review of Articles 21 and 22 of the Interim Text of that Convention created at the June 2001 portion of the Diplomatic Conference. This review allows conclusions dealing with both the role of the forum non conveniens doctrine in contemporary transnational litigation and the effort to bring traditional common law and civil law approaches to parallel litigation closer together.

Dane Bowers to stand trial for alleged assault at Butlins in Bognor
Updated 7:40am Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News
Former Celebrity Big Brother star Dane Bowers will stand trial today accused of assault following an alleged brawl at a Butlins holiday camp.
The former Another Level singer was the headline act at a 1990s night at the resort in Bognor when the incident occurred on April 20.
The 34-year-old DJ, from Ambercroft Way, Coulsdon, Surrey, who once dated model Katie Price, pleaded not guilty to two charges of assault by beating when he appeared in court on May 15.

His brother, electrician Wade Bowers, 31, of Kingswood Way, South Croydon, also appeared in court and pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of cocaine but not guilty to three counts of assault by beating.
A third man, builder Terry Kean, 35, of Limpsfield Road, South Croydon, also pleaded guilty to cocaine possession but not guilty to using threatening words.
All three defendants were released on unconditional bail until the two-day trial starting today at Chichester Magistrates' Court.
Bowers, a former Brit School student, became famous in the late-1990s as a member of R&B band Another Level and after the group disbanded he sang a duet, Out Of Your Mind, with Victoria Beckham.
He appeared in Celebrity Big Brother in 2010.
Bowers is starring in a reality documentary series, The Big Reunion, on ITV2 where he is part of a band called 5th Story with fellow solo singers Gareth Gates, Kenzie, Kavana and Adam Rickitt.

IDA to subsidize employees for health costs' increase
Date: October 17, 2013
by: Josh Siegel | Staff Writer
The Lakewood Ranch Inter-District Authority voted 4-1 Thursday morning to provide money to Town Hall employees to pay for a 17.1% increase in their health insurance premiums for 2014.
Money will come from reserves — and won't result in increased assessments to residents. It will be applied to the fiscal year 2014 budget. The higher rate comes after two years of declining costs.
Eva Rey, Lakewood Ranch Town Hall executive director, said she learned about the higher rate, charged by carrier Blue Cross Blue Shield, Oct. 10 — the typical time when insurance companies reveal rates.
That gave little time for the IDA to come up with long-term solution to what they see as a certainty of higher health care costs in the future.
Town Hall employees receive a $747.50 stipend when they're hired to select from a multitude of health care options, provided by the employer.
The IDA will add the amount of the 17.1% increase in costs — which equates to $127 per month per employee and about $1,500 per year — to the stipend.
The board could have forced employees to pay for the increase or they could have split the costs — rather than pay for it in its entirety.
In his dissenting vote, Dave Emison, representing the consensus of his community development district, district 5, suggested the board should take a broader look at Town Hall's benefits package.
IDA board members agreed they should evaluate other options — such as choosing an alternative insurance carrier or encouraging employees to explore the health care exchanges set up by the Affordable Health Care Act — in the future.
But the short notice required the board to take fast action now.
"Every organization in the country is reevaluating its health benefits plans," said Tom Green, IDA chairman. "We need a detailed look at our benefits package. It's due. We need to know. As a small organization that doesn't offer a pension, we need to recruit and retain good people. And we have to make sure we keep repaying those people. So we have to address this now."
The subsidy increase only applies to fiscal year 2014.
