It's back to school and work for everyone around here--except for me. I should be heading off to the kids' school library today, since I volunteer there every Monday morning. But instead, I'm on the way to the doctor's office, since I've got pinkeye. It's not cool to bring that to school!
There is one part of my Monday routine that I won't forgo this morning, and that's the Weird Holidays that we like to highlight here at Ultimate Coupons. Enjoy these fun bargain opportunities.
