Wondering...
Sun, 02/05/2012 - 09:41 — stephgarnerHey Dale, have you tried using the Word format document that Amy includes at the very end of the column? I download that each week, and then I can format it however I like (changing margins, font size, orientation, columns, etc.). I was copying and pasting from the blog into Word, so when Amy includes the Word document here, it's SO much easier!
Just a thought. :-)

Sun, 02/05/2012 - 09:19 — DalejHey Amy
Love that you are doing half the work of my shopping trips! :)
However, I like to print off entries like the Sunday/Wednesday deals. Unfortunately the print format is the same as the display format. And with that I waste 1/3-1/2 of the page to the column for the adverts and the font of your write-up is very, very small.
Could you see if your IT guys can set up your blog so that it has a different print version that doesn't have the adverts in a side column (say not at all (preferable), or maybe at the end) and increase the font size of the print.
Thanks!
Dale

Sun, 02/05/2012 - 10:47 — AmyDunn (author)Hey Dale,
Click on the word document attachment at the bottom of each post so you can print without ads, etc. That way, you can also eliminate any stores/deals you know you're not interested in to print even less.
And thanks so much for your kind words about the Sunday and Wednesday deals list! It's nice to know folks are finding them useful.
