This morning of checking deals on the various coupon blogs, I spotted this post. I've kept these coupons for a while now and was finally able to use it. Stopped in at Home Depot and grabbed some off of the shelf. The cashier wasn't willing to use the coupon since he was paying attention to the picture instead of the wording on the coupon. The manager stopped by and fixed the issue. I'm very excited to try and get the crayon off the wall and table and stereo...well basically everywhere in the house.
