Have you Omahans checked out the new No Frills Fresh in Baker's Square on Center and 132nd? If not, this would be the week to check it out. They still have daily deals. Check them out:

Monday: Fresh Donut Holes 18 ct $1.49

Tuesday: Whole Roasted Chicken $3.99

Wednesday: Dole Bananas $.10/lb

Thursday: Grilling Sausage 2/$1

Friday: Basket of Blooms Bouquet $6.99

The banana sale is AWESOME!! I guess I better run over today...or price match it a Walmart!!

*Note that the ad DOES say they reserve the right to limit quantities-I suspect that is going to play a big part on the Banana Wednesdays...

One of my tips and tricks to successful grocery shopping with kids is that almost every store bakery gives kids free cookies. So, my kids know that if they behave, they get a cookie at the end! Well, I think when they find out about this, they will never be satisfied with cookies again!

Super Saver in Millard (144th and Stony Brook) will have FREE Ice Cream Cones for Kids Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from noon-6 pm. And for the mommas, the Pantene Hair Studio will be at Super Saver on Saturday May 1 from 11am-3pm.

I don't know about you, but car troubles and car repairs are one of the things that cause me a lot of anxiety! I always worry about getting a car repair done. I never know whether I can trust an estimate to be fair, and I never know if my car actually need the repairs I am told it needs. Well, thank goodness I found this website: http://repairpal.com/.

What a great resource to help take away some of my anxiety. This is a FREE website that will give you estimates, advice, and user reviews, and boy does it have a lot of great features. On the initial page for http://repairpal.com/, you will see a place to enter your make of car for an estimate. It is quick and easy to do.

Another things you can do is to look up by city (FYI-not all cities are listed, mostly big cities). Let's say you are in Houston, TX and you need an auto repair. You can go to their Houston auto repair page where you will find top rated auto repair in the area as well as general info about Houston and more specific info about auto repair in Houston. It is really useful.

You can also look up information by car. At the top of their page is a "Car Info" tab that you click on which takes you to a page where you can enter your cars make, model and year. It then gives you user reviews, Questions and answers and recalls and common problems, For an example, check out this page about a 1991 Acura TL.

And possibly the most useful thing on this website is the encyclopedia! You can really educate yourself here about all kinds of car related topics. You can look up oil change or look up a brake job, and they will give you all kinds of information on when, why and how to change my oil or how to repair brakes. It is very useful information.

All in all, I think this is a very useful FREE site full of helpful information for all kinds of car related questions and I recommend checking it out whenever you have a car question! It is always good to educate yourself before you make a major purchase, including a car repair! Next time you need car info, give http://repairpal.com/ a try, it is worth your while to check out!
