Did you know that you can give to charity and local schools without spending any extra money? Many grocery stores offer programs where they give a percentage of their profits back to organizations and you can pick where it goes. Link your store loyalty cards to local schools and organizations and a small percentage of everything you spend in the store will go back to those groups. Since you already had to spend the money anyway, it’s great that the stores give some of it back!
Kroger:
Select what school or charity you wish to support. This is saved on your card for every future shopping trip. This is the only store that is working with local organizations (not just schools).
Bi-Lo:
Pick a local school to support, now when you scan your card at checkout they get a small percentage back.
Publix:
You need to get a key tag from the charity that you would like to support and scan this every time you shop. If you also use the Publix Upromise key tag, they can be scanned in the same transaction so it won’t affect your college savings. Many stores keep key tags for schools in their area at the registers.
Harris Teeter:
Link to one school each year. Go here to find the school you would like to support and get you Vic card linked automatically.
Ingles:
Link to one school each year. Go here to find your school and get your Advantage Buy Card linked.
Harvey’s:
Link to one school each year. Go here to get your Harvey’s key card linked automatically.
Safeway:
Link your card to your local school. They do ask that schools use some of the money towards nutrition and fitness education.

If you’re looking for a unique chandelier for your home, maybe you’re thinking of something more rustic like the Restoration Hardware Wine Barrel Chandelier.
Expensive:
Restoration Hardware Wine Barrel Chandelier ($2,224 Shipped)
The Restoration Hardware version is slightly bigger and comes with an extra ornamental wooden sphere that hooks to the bottom of the chandelier.
Frugal:
Shades of Light Wooden Wine Barrel Stave Chandelier ($596 Shipped)
This chandelier is bent-wood wine barrel pieces strapped together with a metal ring. It comes in different color options which is more than I can say for the Restoration Hardware version.

Fall = football in our house. I’m actually worse than my husband and am ready and waiting for new polls to come out Sunday afternoons each week… If you have true sports fans, this is a great time to grab a subscription to the ESPN Magazine. It comes out every other week (26 issues per year) and is a fun way to stay up on all the latest news. Getting a subscription also gets you access to all the “insider” content on the ESPN site.
This weekend you can get up to two years of ESPN for only $4.99 a year (that’s 75% off news stand). Head over and use code 52899 at checkout to get the discount.
You can also give this as a gift or use the deal to renew a current subscription.
