Bluelight Specials are Back

kmart This post was sponsored by Kmart. All the opinions are mine.

I remember these specials growing up and honestly I thought they were still going on. I remember they literally had a bluelight flashing on a cart-type rolling box throughout the store depending on where the specials were. I honestly thought what they did was find a spot in the store where hardly anybody was there shopping and throw the bluelight on and the people came rushing including us sometimes. You just went with the flow way back then. Of course I know better now but I still have that idea in the back of my mind.

Well the Kmart Bluelight Specials are back and you can catch them this weekend for one day only on August 1st. There is going to be over 40 bluelight specials throughout the day in-store. There will also be some great specials online at kmart.com as well in case you cannot make it to the store but again only on Saturday. Should you become addicted to Twitter like I have now you can get updates and even more specials by following @kmartdealsnnews.

Kmart will have these specials from patio furniture to sports equipment to jewelry. I remember one year I was shopping I believe maybe in October/November and came across a jewelry sale. Must have been 80% off because I bought this beautiful ruby and diamond bracelet for myself as a Christmas gift. I used Kmart’s layaway option and had it in time for Christmas. And no, I did not wrap it and put it under the tree. I wore that baby out the store proudly. I also get my earrings there since they are usually on sale as well and normally end up buying 2 pairs of each due to the fact that I keep losing them. Not sure how it happens but it does and I’ll always end up with just one of each and have a miss mash of earring posts. Might as well go there this weekend and get some more because I’m on my last matching pair again.

Twitter and Man v. Food

Friday, July 31st, 2009 | Technology with 1 Comment

Well, ever since I got this program to win a new blackberry I have essentially been hooked on it just because i can get my favorite blog post captions as well as keep up with some of my friends who might post some inane thing on there. I even have my local news channel in twitter and they post some new news stories and/or if there is some sever weather going on which i think is kind of neat.

I don’t know if you haven’t seen or heard of Man v. Food on the Travel Channel but this show is hilarious mainly from the host Adam. He tries to eat these insane amounts of food and sometimes other people will try the eating challenges with him. They are all nuts if you ask me but he will find some of the out of the way places or the most popular especially if they are around a college which probably most of them are because we all know that students eat a tremendous amount especially at night. Gotta eat that greasy stuff to counter act the liquor I guess right?

Four Foods on Friday #84

Friday, July 31st, 2009 | General with 4 Comments

Time to learn more food facts according to me. If you are not interested you can move along. As always be sure to check out Fun Craft and Recipes to join each week and to spread the news so others might join as well.

1. What’s your favorite flavor of Italian Ice?
Well, I don’t have many of these but I usually get cherry.
2. Watermelon. So you prefer seeded or seedless?
Seedless all the way and it still bugs me when they are supposed to be seedless and they still have seeds I need to pick out. That’s the whole point of seedless isn’t it?
3. Ice cream. Do you prefer soft serve or hard?
Okay, I must be dumb because I do not know the difference. Of course, I also haven’t had ice cream in ages either soo….
4. Ice pops. What kind is your favorite?
I haven’t had any of these since I was a kid and it was always the red and purple for cherry and grape but then the lime would come in the next. I forgot what the other flavor was in there because there was always 4 flavors. Hmm…
