Who Loves You, Muskego ?

Smell of success

Speaking of which, our pick for roses, while not overly fancy, looked great at a cost of $3.99 for a half dozen. Where? Aldi of Muskego. If you don't want to be exposed as frugal on such a romantic holiday, grab a nice vase at Jerome Drugs, along with a small gift from their assortment.

All that glitters

Thomas Jewelers  is offering through Valentine's Day a rare sale.  In addition, any non-sale item you purchase garners you a free pair of 10mm fresh water pearl stud earrings (while supplies last) as well.
