Good savings this week. Getting an overpayment refund is always a nice surprise -- much better than getting bill in the mail! I also love the goodie bag your daughter received at her kindergarten orientation. What a cute idea!

Thanks Rachel! I agree the refund was a nice surprise and so much better than a bill. I too thought the goodie bag was a cute idea. She was so excited to receive it.
