Today at the store near me they had a deal where if you buy a spiral sliced ham you get a free turkey up to 14 lbs. We're not even going to be home for Thanksgiving this year but I couldn't pass it up. I came home and my husband just can't understand it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17406011176832681223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-16184143548263351212009-11-21T13:58:50.186-05:002009-11-21T13:58:50.186-05:00That is so sweet!

There was a promotion that waived the joining fee, which was only slightly more than a month's membership. So in essence I saved about $5, and I belong to 2 gyms for the next 25 days.
