Yo!  Did you know some Farmers Markets are still going on and a few even go on ALL WINTER LONG (shout out to Natick, Wayland, Plymouth, East Longmeadow, Newburyport, & North Attleboro!). 

Boston Family Life just wrote up a good post about the ones that are still going on in November and the ones that stay open.  Check it out HERE. 

So with Thanksgiving approaching, check them out!  I want to give a special shout out to the Quincy Farmers Market!  That place is grrrreat!  Did you know that even a lobsterman goes there and sells Lobster?  That's pretty cool (Oh how I would love to eat Lobster instead of nasty Turkey this Thanksgiving!). 

So just spreading the word about the farmers markets...

That Kellogg's Fuel-For-School Rebate that was going on in August and September came in the mail today! A $10 Check and a $70 coupon off any Dell Inspiron and Studio Laptop!

I'm actually not going to be buying a Dell anytime soon, so if anyone wants a coupon code for $70 off a Dell Inspiron or Studio Laptop, leave a comment with your email and I'll send it to you. I'd hate to see $70 go to waste!

Back in August, Staples ran a sale where you get back the cost of any backpack in Staples rewards. I finally got mine today! Woohoo! $15 in free Staples crap! I'll probably just use it to buy printer ink. I'm boring like that.

Cash in $40 or more dollars with your change at Coinstar for an Amazon Gift Card and get a bonus $10 gift card mailed to you! Offer good until 12/6/09. Check out all the details HERE! 

From November 12-15, get 25% off your entire purchase at Crazy 8 by entering code CZYEMAIL. If you spend over $75, you'll get free shipping too. Woot Woot!

Sign up at their website to get $10 off your first purchase of $30 or more - then they'll email you and snail mail you coupons all the time. Check out their new local store in Dedham, MA. Right off 95 at Legacy Place!

In light of all the people having issues with some coupons doubling and others not, I went on a Google search.  The following is the closest thing I can find for the "Official Shaw's Coupon Policy".   I personally have only encountered one cashier who manually "undoubled" coupons.  

Well anyways, here is the best "Shaw's Coupon Policy" I could find on the internet.  I grabbed it off of Hot Coupon World, by clicking HERE.   This is a post from HeyaHeather (thanks Heather for posting back in June of 2008!):

I have asked to get clarification of Shaw’s Corporate Coupon Policy again. The following is the response that I got from a Customer Care Representative. I asked a great deal more questions than I did last year, so that I could get down to the nitty gritty. If you have any further questions or concerns, you should contact Shaw's customer service center at 1-877-932-7948. I personally have found that I get a better response by going through their website.
