SIGN up for email alerts from JC PEnney's -- you will receive $10 off of a $10 purchase coupon, quite often. If you wish to get one of their credit cards, it's even better. You get $15 off of a $15 purchase. I love their St. John turtleneck sweaters, as does my sister and couple of friends. This time of year, they have them on sale in the store for $14.99 and I used a coupon and only paid 4.99+ tax for a very nice sweater! Also, I love warm corduroy pants and their Cabin Creek brand is often on sale for $14.99. USE the coupon for a GREAT value! I just remembered something that may help folks out.

I always buy a bunch of each. At Christmas, I bake the brownies in cupcake tins so they end up looking like cookies. When cool, I frost them with the creamcheese frosting in the can and place a pecan on top (I shop for nuts at Aldi's.) I package them in re-usable tins or inexpensive containers from WalMart. I give these a lot as gifts. Each gift costs about $4.00 or so. Often, I am asked for the recipe! One friend said that she served these (on a doily) for her Christmas dinner desert! Golly! You could also top it with a cherry instead of the pecan, or a sprinkling of coconut to vary the look of them.
