It’s time again for Non-Consumer Mish-Mash, where I write a little bit about this and a little bit about that.
Slogans That Really Make Sense
I love clarity in advertising, which is why I found this Huffington Post piece to be absolutely hilarious! It’s wonderful, and it’s all absolutely true! My favorite: “Pizza Hut: We have a salad bar for some reason.”
Which is your favorite?
Goodwill Oddities — They Never Cease
I know it seems like a shop a lot for someone who called herself “The Non-Consumer,” but I promise you that I’m really not actually bringing all those Questionable-will finds into my home.
Having said that, I had a hard time not bringing home this $4.99 Goodwill vintage lamp. I think I may have made a grievous error.
Free Lindt Chocolate
I may not be a crazy coupon lady, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t keep an eye out for the good ones. So when Frugal Living NW posted about free Lindt chocolate bars, I clicked that link faster than Usain Bolt, my husband’s grandfather who ran the steeplechase in the 1928 Olympics, Katy Wolk-Stanley on the hunt for free chocolate.
And best of all it’s for Walgreen’s and Rite-Aid, so it should work as a national deal. It’s not good until November 3rd, but you should print the coupon A.S.A.P., so chop-chop!
Click HERE for your free chocolate.

You are a goddess for finding me free chocolate!!! Unfortunately, he link to the chocolate doesn’t work :(o
If you click on the link to Frugal Living NW, you can scroll down thru their posts, even to the previous page, and you will find it. There is a limit of one coupon, and I just tried this method after reading your comment. Go quick! 🙂
I fixed the link, and if you print one, you can then print another by going “back” and then “forward” again.

I got a “bad link” error message as well 🙁
me too
I still have a saltine box like that, and use it all the time — keeps crackers edible much longer during muggy summers for us singletons who don’t eat them all in one week.
I have a Saltines tin as well. although mine’s a bit newer. I did give this exact one to my sister as a gift though.

I’ve got a metal Premium Saltines box that I still use for its intended purpose. I would never turn it into a lamp (and an especially bad lamp at that).
There are no “bad lamps,” only lamps making poor choices. 😉

lol
Thanks for the chocolate coupon heads-up!! And that lamp would look awesome on a kitchen counter. Lamps are easy to repair or to make in the first place. I also found a tin like this at a yard sale but I sold it on eBay.
Should have saved it!
But kitchen counter space is so precious. 🙁

I liked the Hidden Valley slogan:)
So, so many good phrases. I especially love the Apple, Target, Nike, and Instagram ones.
I was able to print out two coupons, which my 3 + 5 year olds saw and immediately claimed as their own. I will be making this trip while they are at school and taking a tip from my mother by hiding them…assuming my 3 year old stops climbing on top of the fridge to discover all of my “child proof” hiding spots.
Dark chocolate with sea salt is my favorite Lindt bar. Thank you!
Hot Pockets ARE a different temperature in every bite!
The Nature Valley one got me. As someone who eats a lot of the crunchy granola bars (because I have yet to find a granola bar recipe I like) I am very familiar with the crumbs everywhere phenomenon. I kind of want to hang that one up.
