Happy Thursday, I hope you all are having a great week. How 'bout them Hokies? My daughter has to go to Roanoke every 6 months for lab work and we always stop by Sam's Club on the way home. This time we filled our cart with Halloween candy for our orange Boo Baskets. I love the ability to spend less money and buy in bulk. Right now, Macaroni Kid has partnered with Sam's Club and has an amazing deal for families. You can sign up for a membership ($45) and receive a ($45) Sam's Club gift card in the mail. Who doesn't like to get things free? Hurry, this offer expires on September 30, 2021.
News:
