NEVER JET HOT

I think I know why everyone around here was cranky yesterday... It's all that FOOD. Fudge. Those sausage and cheese things. ALMOND ROCA. Red and green MM's. The other fudge with the peanut butter. And where does Teresa stop to pick up lunch? TERIYAKI. It's a wonder we're not all writhing on the floor in gastronomical agony.

Shop Smart says you'll get the best deals that way. "They often offer good deals early in the day. That's when traffic is lighter so they're really trying to grab people and get sales," Freeman said.

From IusedToBelieve.com; When I was about 9 or 10, I heard about the internet. I thought that when you bought things off the internet, you had a little box attached to your computer with a hole and you'd drop coins in the hole.
