March 6th – This day in history, save on Aspirin, Beatles memorabilia or apparel and men’s brand-name big and tall clothing.

1899 – Aspirin Patented by Felix Hoffmann – When you’ve got a headache, back pain or even a sore tooth, chances are you reach for some Aspirin. Aspirin has become one of the greatest accomplishments of medical science. It’s also known to provide protection against heart and stroke related diseases. I’m not a doctor so I’m not recommending you start taking Aspirin daily, but to learn more about how it can help improve your health, talk to your doctor. And if you already take Aspirin daily, then use our free dugstore.com coupons to save $10 on orders of $50!

1970 – Beatles Release Let It Be in UK – When I watch old concert videos of the Beatles in action, I see tons of women faint or cry hysterically. I asked my mom if she ever fainted in the presence of the Beatles, and she said she wasn’t allowed to go to concerts. She also stated that had she went, she believed she would’ve behaved just like the other crazed girls, which might be why my grandma refused to let her go. For all you crazed Beatles fans out there, use our free Wolfgangs Vault coupons to save 20% on Beatles t-shirts and 10% on memorabilia like posters, prints, and more!

December 29th – It was on this day in history in 1862 that the bowling ball was invented. I’m not the greatest bowler, but worse, I am the biggest klutz! I’ve dropped a 13 pound bowling ball on my toe once, and my dad’s toe, and my brother’s too…Anyway, the point is: I need some practice and better grip too! Believe it or not, virtual bowling has taught me better balance techniques, how to hold the ball and best of all how to control my wrist as I let go of the ball. Do you know what kind of virtual bowling I’m talking about? I’ve been practicing with Wii, and I’ve actually improved my real game. Improved…not mastered…and I definitely have NOT cured myself of the klutz syndrome. But for those of you who love gaming, I totally recommend Wii to you. Plus, with great add-ons like Wii Fit, you’ll get into shape too without feeling like you’re even working out. Head over to Target today where you’ll find Wii or Wii Fit for a very low price.

Walt Disney – Today is the day the greatest man (in my eyes) was born. Bringing us the best entertainment for both children and adults, Disney films have a way of making you feel like you can float. Not only do they entertain children for hours, but there is always a lesson in there that your child will learn. Eventually, children always develop a favorite Disney character. Mine is Ariel; I still have figurines of her on my desk and dolls of her at home. I’ll never grow out of Disney flicks, ever! And my guess is the no one really does. So, I say the whole family should head over to Target for great prices on everything Disney. From DVDs to CD soundtracks, children’s room decor to toys and stuffed animals – find it all in one place. And save $5 when you spend $50 or more by redeeming our exclusive Target coupons.

November 28th – It was on this day in history in 1582 that William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway. How romantic! I wonder what kind of poems he wrote her when they were “courting”. I’ve read Romeo & Juliet like a dozen times, and although I know the tragic ending, I always find myself wishing that they could end up together…alive! Shakespeare tragedies have been transformed into box-office hits. Such films include Romeo & Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, or Hamlet starring Kenneth Branagh and Kate Winslet. And who can forget 10 Things I Hate About You with Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles, which is the modernized version of The Taming of the Shrew. I think the reason Shakespeare tragedies are so popular is because Shakespeare was able to dive into the human psyche and bring to the surface our most primal fears about humiliation, fear of failure, and rejection. So, if you’re in the mood for a wildly-romantic yet tear-jerking movie, then find the full collection of modernized films based on Shakespeare plays at Target today. Be sure to redeem exclusive Target coupons to save $5 when you spend $50 or more.

1974 – John Lennon’s Last Concert Appearance – This concert was with Elton John at the MSG in New York City. Not only was John Lennon an amazing entertainer on stage, but his music always delivered a deeper meaning of peace for humanity. He strived to help people understand just how easily peace could be achieved if everyone simply did their part. This plea can be heard on the song Lennon wrote called Give Peace a Chance. If you’re a Lennon fan or a follower of his beliefs, then head over to Wolfgagns Vault for memorabilia of the musician that exudes his dream of peace. Discover posters that say “War Is Over” on large font, photos of him and Yoko singing together and much more. For 10-20% off your purchase, be sure to redeem exclusive Wolfgangs Vault coupons.
