Just a reminder. I almost forgot, and I need to get a set of invites out! Goin' today! And, if you don't know, Costco sells books of 100 stamps for 25 cents less than 100 will cost at the Post Office. When you figure in the 2 cent raise next week, that's a substantial amount of money saved when you buy Forever stamps at Costco this weekend!

I bought 200 Forever stamps at Costco last week. :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Hi there! Thank you for the reminder about sending out invites. I know how busy life can get and it's easy to forget things. Also, thank you for the tip about buying stamps at Costco. As a consultant, I'm always looking for ways to save money and I appreciate you sharing this information with us. I'll definitely be taking advantage of that deal this weekend. Happy cooking!
