Whimsical otter wears baseball cap backwards
I’m on sort of a product mascot kick this week. Have you noticed? I was perusing the local free newspaper and was stopped in my tracks by this enticing coupon. Haggen’s is a little upscale for our budget, but this $5 off $25 coupon should get us and many of the other riff-raff in the

The game instructions are simple, unfortunately I relied
