Extreme Couponing?? close.....but not really.....

2011-05-11T23:52:00.000-07:00

Foods Co (our Kroger equivalent, but they don't honor other Kroger offers) had an awesome sale this week on many different products! Everything had to be purchased in quanities of 10, but could be mixed and matched. While I have consistently used coupons for many years, I've not consistently done well with them. Since my injury, I've been trying harder and am now concentrating on building a

Meals this Week

2011-05-03T01:59:00.000-07:00

So, what about meals? what do i create from all these purchases? Well....we kind of operate on the stock pile system, even when I have a "stock up" week like this one. I try to use the fresh food quickly, then rely on frozen, etc toward the end of the week. We do shop weekly, at least for milk and produce. We currently use 6-8 gallons of milk a week, so there is often a mid-week trip for

Cereal - 12 Boxes!

2011-04-18T23:19:00.000-07:00

Well I capitalized on Save Mart's deal again! This time we picked up 6 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, 4 boxes of Trix, and 2 boxes of Cheerios. I used (2) -$1.00/3 coupons and (1) -$2.00/5 (printed on my last cereal trip). Grand total was just over $13 for 12 boxes of cereal! This is pretty good for my area as we do not have any stores that double coupons. Drat!

2011-04-15T02:08:00.000-07:00

I often forget about the 99 cent store. It is similar to the dollar store, but (in our town anyway) it has lots more. I took a quick trip today and made quite a haul. While it does not take coupons, I think I still did pretty good. Certainly stocked the snack cupboard! Here's what I got - of course everything was $1 2 packages of Cheese & Pretzel Dippers 1 4-pack of Dannon Light yogurt -

Recess: Where has it gone? (Part 1)

2011-04-12T03:07:00.000-07:00

(Photo Credit: My Special Needs Network) Having written a paper for school on Childhood obesity, the issue of disappearing recess time has been on my mind. Of all my memories from elementary school, I remember recess the most. Playing 4 square, monkey bars, swinging, and just running around like crazy! Recess wasn't always easy. Feelings got hurt sometimes, kids were mean sometimes.

Tortellini Soup and Homemade Butter....

2011-04-10T14:30:00.000-07:00

I remember making our own butter as a kid, but couldn't remember how. Since both my parents have passed, I don't have anyone to ask. I was browsing around Confessions of a Homeschooler today and happened upon a post she did about making butter. Here is her post covering the Tortellini soup and homemade butter. The recipe looks so good, I wanted to link to it here so I can find it again when

As I've mentioned, I have been off work since November and on state disability. I had hurt my knee when I was carrying my daughter. After treatment for my knee, my back was really hurting from all the limping and using crutches. To make a long story short, I have 2 herniated disks in my low back and one is impinging on a nerve root. This is causing pain, numbness, and reflex loss in my right
