    Target has bottled glue for $0.20 for RoseArt and $0.40 for Elmers. That’s their normal (back to school) price!

    Jolene I was going to say the same thing, and yes the coupons worked just fine together.

    Does anyone know if Land’s End has sales around this time of year on backpacks? I have heard great things about their backpacks and got a code in a magazine for $10 off $50. Just wanted to use it at the right time, you know?

    PS, You mean can you go back and try to get a refund for the difference? I guess you could call and ask but I wouldn’t think so.
