Need a free place to play indoors?

Update: I took the kids to the gym yesterday and had the whole place to ourselves. We played soccer, ran relay races and I got to walk a few laps - all for FREE!

If you are like me, sometimes you just want a place where the kids can just run wild and get out energy! But it's really hard in the cold days of February to find a spot like that. The library is great but you have to keep them halfway quiet.

If you live in the Danville area - you are in luck! The Salvation Army has a full size gym where you can come and play - for FREE.

Salvation Army
519 South 4th Street
Danville, KY 40422-2124
(859) 236-4473
Get directions

They offer open gym hours:
Monday - Friday from 9:00-11:30 am and 1:00-4:30 pm.

No need to make a reservation. No fee to pay. There were many times that I would let the kids run like crazy and bounce balls while a friend and I walked laps around the gym.

(There are a few days that they may have a special program that bumps the free open gym.)

Happy playtime!

When I was going regularly there were rarely people there in the mornings. Sometimes a few guys would come in to shoot baskets but that's all. I haven't been in quite a while. Frankly, I had forgotten it was even available. I called today and they said that few people know about the open gym times because they have such few people there. Hope that helps!

Grocery deals without coupons - Aldi

Image
Most of the time, I am able to find the best deals by using coupons and matching them to sale prices. But there are some things I find cheaper at Aldi! Current deals at Aldi in Danville: 1 gallon milk - $1.49 (Walmart will match this price if you just tell them you want to "comp the Aldi price" at checkout) box of instant oatmeal 1.49 (Walmart off brand is still 1.97) Produce is usually fresher and cheaper at Aldi blueberries 1.98 (per package not pound) seedless grapes 1.98 (per package not pound) gala apples - usually about $1 cheaper than Walmart Have you tried Aldi? I don't shop there regularly since I found coupons but for these things I don't usually find coupons or other sales.

Kroger $25 gift card Giveaway!

I'm so excited. My Blog Spark and General Mills just sent me a $25 gift card to be used at Kroger (or their family of stores). They sent it to me so I can start earning bonus box tops for my school. We already clip the boxtops regularly and save them for our school. I didn't realize we could earn boxtops without having to even cut them out! Here's the details. (Then read at the bottom about how you can get a chance to get a gift card yourself!). It´s hard to believe that the simple act of clipping Box Top coupons has raised over $300 million for our kids´ schools. Now you can earn even more money for the school of your choice because from now through March 18, the Kroger Family of Stores is giving you the chance to get even more Bonus Box Tops. All you have to do is register at http://www.rewardyourschool.com/ and select the personalized offers that you would like to receive. Once you register, you will automatically receive 5 Bonus Box Tops just for signing up! You will a...
