Shoppers Dropping Shopping Carts Found this article interesting. Just the other day I was shopping at Costco, using cash as usual (learning from Dave Ramsey) and watched the register like a hawk. I always keep tabs but more so lately. I've also asked the cashier to set aside items that were...

Have you been on their website lately? They are now just starting (as of a few days ago) to have "Hyvee" coupons online that you can print out, they are not the same as their flyer. They also have some manufactures coupons also you can print. The best part is you can use both coupons on one...
