$5.00 Walmart Weekly Wonder: Free Razor, Cheap Tree Top and Libby’s Pears!

Shopping at Walmart is easy! With the everyday low prices and wide coupon policy, Walmart can be a one-stop shop to get the most bang for your buck. To show you how easy it is, we’ll take about $5.00 weekly to Walmart with a step-by-step transaction to get your stockpile going. This week we took it easy: no price matching, mainly Internet printable coupons, and only one newspaper coupon. Good luck!

•Walmart allows for moneymakers! If a coupon value is more than the product price, Walmart will give you the overage in cash, as a gift card, or applied to other items in the cart (the easiest and preferred method).
•Walmart will price match an identical item advertised in a local competitor’s ad. You do not need to have the ad with you, but having it makes the transaction process much smoother.
•Yes, some stores double coupons! This is not corporate policy and is left solely up to the discretion of the general manager, but some stores double coupons up to $1.00, making for amazing deals! Call ahead and ask.
•Although Walmart has a corporate coupon policy, the general manager has the right to overrule it. If you are not familiar with your Walmart store, call customer service.
•Shop Walmart in the early morning! The stores are fairly empty, and the employees are fresh and more likely to help you with a difficult transaction.

School Superintendent’s ‘Racist and Sexist’ Text Messages Make Us Wonder What’s Wrong With People (VIDEO)

AppId is over the quota

If everyone in your community could read your text messages, would they be horrified? The racist and sexist messages between school superintendent Richard Como and athletic director Jim Donato have rocked the community of Coatesville, Pennsylvania. Apparently the texts between these two men included graphic references to faculty and students. Just a few harmless, private jokes between two men? Not so much.

Copies of the messages between Como and Donato were given to the school board from an anonymous source. The Chester County District Attorney office discovered the messages when they were conducting an unrelated investigation of the district. Meanwhile, Como and Donato both resigned reportedly when they found out the board planned to fire them -- but the damage is already done.

So how bad were these text messages, anyway? Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan says, "The text messages that we reviewed were of a shockingly racist nature. They looked like something from 1813, not 2013." Oof, that bad, huh? I'm glad I haven't found transcripts of those messages yet, though I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they're leaked. (Maybe it's already happened and I just don't know because I don't want to know ...)

Board President Neil Campbell issued a statement saying that the school board had moved as quickly as possible on the incident and were cooperating with the District Attorney. "The racist and sexist language expressed by the two men was sickening and obviously unacceptable," he said.

So now we're all in agreement that this was disgusting behavior, especially coming from adults who are supposedly leading school faculty and students. Wouldn't you expect more from them? This must come as a horrible shock to the families in the community. Or maybe not. About a third of the school community is black, and I bet they're unfortunately all too accustomed to racism coming from any and all sources.

Meanwhile, I can't help imagining (if these allegations are true) what this meeting of the minds between Como and Donato must have been like. At what point did they recognize they were racist, sexist kindred spirits and start letting the shit fly with each other? Do these people have radar for their type? Ugh, probably. At least everyone else seems to agree that their exchanges were wrong. Now everyone who works for the district has to do sensitivity training. But the two people who needed it most should have gotten that training a long time ago.

Are you surprised that two adults with leadership positions in a school district were exchanging offensive text messages?

Lamar Odom’s Strange Nighttime Activities Make Us Wonder if He’s All Right (VIDEO)

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

So maybe you have more important things to think about -- in fact, I hope you do. But here at The Stir, we've been worried about Lamar Odom. Last week, when Khloe couldn't find him, we joked that Lamar was the new Where's Waldo. It was all shits and giggles until someone said, "I'm just afraid he's going to be found somewhere, dead from an OD." Ooh, downer. No one wishes that for Lamar, no matter what he's done. Well, to our great relief he's very much alive. Photographers snapped Lamar walking around downtown LA late, late last night. But is he all right? It's hard to tell.

Around 10 p.m. Lamar chatted and posed for photos with fans at his apartment building. Shortly after midnight he was seen stopping by a sushi restaurant (but not staying), and then strolling to a deli where he bought a banana. He ate the banana on his way back to his apartment. Then he left again around 3:15 a.m., got into someone's car, and returned to his apartment building around 6 a.m.

So, eating a banana is pretty normal. Guy's got the late-night munchies, and he made a healthy choice. It's not exactly crackhead behavior, but it is odd that he went someplace at 3 in the morning. Could be a hot club, could be a booty call, could be anything. He may have just had a restless night. But whatever is going on, we're just glad to see him alive and looking well. As his wife Khloe would say, "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." And if you ask him yourself, as one pap did, he'll tell you, "Life is good."

Lamar does kind of seem at loose ends, though. His marriage appears to be unraveling, and he's caught in a whirlpool of rumors about drug use and prostitutes. Can you blame a guy for not being able to sleep at night?

Do you think Lamar is on drugs, or just haunted by the turmoil in his life?

Suki Waterhouse and Bradley Cooper's Big Age Difference Makes Us Wonder How Long They'll Last

dinsdag 27 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

It feels like just yesterday we were privileged to the first photos of Bradley Cooper and his then 20-year-old girlfriend model Suki Waterhouse. You know, right after Cooper made a big splash in the media saying that his Silver Linings Playbook costar Jennifer Lawrence was "too young for him." Well, the couple who everyone thought was just reaching out for publicity back in April is still going strong nearly five months later. They were most recently spotted canoodling in Paris, relaxing in a park and reading a book.

She may or may not look like she's 16 years old in her overall and sneaker getup, which makes me feel a little awkward. I'll also note that no one really lays like that comfortably to read a book together. Regardless, they seem pretty engrossed in one another and happy. A happy that no one expected.

... could it be that Suki and Bradley are legit? Seems like the 17-year age gap isn't really fazing them, so why should it bother us -- right?

The thing with age and relationships is that so many people are just used to two people dating that are close in age. A few years here and there, that's not something that brings up a red flag. But a 17-year age gap? Obviously people ask questions. Why is Bradley into this younger girl? Is it only for her looks? Why does Suki want to date someone who is so much older than her? Is she with him for the money?

We don't know. And although it may not be my style to date that much older, I truly do believe you can't help who you fall for. Maybe Bradley and Suki will be together for years to come because they've found qualities in one another that make them happy (personally, I doubt it). Maybe they'll call off the whole thing next week.

At the end of the day, though, you love who you love and heck -- you're entitled.

What do you think of Bradley Cooper and Suki Waterhouse together?
