Retailers are holding steady on their prices right now, no doubt that they are gearing up for Black Friday.

Something I would recommend is getting Walmart+ right now. They have now combined Walmart with Sam’s Club for $120 a year. If you are already a Walmart+ member adding Sam’s Club not will be prorated. You will get early access to all Black Friday deals

This is big because they are offering FREE DELIVERY from Sam’s Club, so no more hour+ traveling to and from Janesville. THIS IS BIG. GAS IS HIGH. SAVE THAT MONEY!

PLUS next week I will show you how to get your Christmas Cards through Walmart absolutely DIRT CHEAP! It also works for Birthday invitations! YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS IT!

Timber Ridge Lodge’s water park is a great choice for a family outing, especially when you can take advantage of one of their fundraiser deals! These events bring the daily admission price down to just $15–$20 per person, making a day at the water park SUCH a huge bargain for families. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy time together without stretching the family budget.

What makes these fundraisers even better is that they help organizations throughout Walworth County. Families get an affordable day of fun while supporting groups in their own communities—a true win-win! These events deserve recognition for making family entertainment more accessible while giving back locally.

The water park is also GREAT for a wide range of ages, from small children all the way up to big kids, making it a fantastic option for families with children at different stages. If you see a fundraiser or special deal being offered, take advantage of it! Between the discounted admission, the family fun, and the chance to support a local organization, there’s so much to appreciate.

No more springing forward, you have been doing that for 6 months! Time to Fall Back. After being out all day with your kids, and time change happening, we are saying no date night this weekend. GET SOME SLEEP!!!
