For those of you in advanced science and math courses, or with students in those courses, graphing calculators can be an expensive requirement. I’ve never used another brand of graphing calculator, so from a comparison point, can only say that the Texas Instruments brand is reliable to a fault (though they do melt in fire - just ask me how I know this!).

If you’re shopping for a Texas Instruments graphing calculator, you can expect to pay between $100 and $150, depending on the course/calculator requirements, and your own personal preferences. Thanks to an online coupon code and a few great rebates from Office Depot, you can purchase a new TI calculator for $50 less AND receive two free movie tickets!

Back-to-School shopping…for groceries! I think TECHNICALLY this is a Summer Olympics-themed promotion (and the last promotion was Super Bowl-themed), but grocery discounts are always welcome, regardless of the occasion!

The Summer Savings Marathon, a promotion of over 2,300 participating products “running” through 07/29/08 at all Safeway-owned stores, rewards shoppers with Catalinas (see below), in a single transaction of 9-25 participating products.
1.) Purchase 9-14 participating products to receive a $5 Catalina
2.) Purchase 15-24 participating products to receive a $10 Catalina
3.) Purchase 25 or more participating products to receive a $20 Catalina

(For those of you who are new to the Catalina term, a Catalina is an automatically-generated coupon that prints during a transaction of specific items. The name comes from the Catalina Marketing Corporation - the invisible force behind promotions between product manufacturers and retailers. The Catalinas in this promotion work much like a Safeway gift card - use the $5, $10, or $20 Catalinas to pay for additional items on your next purchase.)
