What to do on a snow day!

To be quite frank, my hubby gets restless VERY easily. I kind of enjoy having an excuse to not leave the house. As much as I like to run errands and snag deals, lounging or getting my never ending TODO list completed is just as satisfying. But, one thing we both enjoy wether it's cold or not is the following....SNOW ICE CREAM! Yum!

Try it sometime!

*1 bowl snow

*vanilla extract

*sugar

*milk

stir in a small amount of milk until desired consistency and add other ingredients to taste

Walmart deals

*FEEL FREE TO ADD BY POSTING A COMMENT!*

Walmart rules


1.Low Price Guarantee. The store will price match any competitors ad(with in a reasonable distance:) ) as long as the size and specifications are the same. They will NOT match BOGO sales unless the product price is specified and then you will get 50% off each item(like BOGO, but not...). It is also sometimes difficult to match store ads that require a store card(like Dillons), but they are supposed to match it.


2. Takes all manufacturers coupons and internet printable(print off store policy if they give you trouble with printables). If you have formula checks, they must be run as a check, not a coupon. Most cashiers do not know this, so heads up.

Blogging lull

I realize I've been in a bit of a blogging lull...and I have a question for everyone...which part of my blog is most helpful to you? I'm going to start posting store deals again, but honestly I'm going to stop posting my deals from shopping trips if they are not helpful.It takes time to type it all in and I don't want to if it's not helping anyone out!I rather just get together with anyone who wants to swap coupons and chat then post, or just e-mail between anyone who wants to know. Anyways, right now I'm having problems with my camera wizard and selecting pictures to post, so I'll have to ask the hubby when he comes home for help with that. My deals for this week were decent, I spent $49, half of which was DIAPERS!

FREE SUAVE COUPON!

I'll post my deals later today, but honestly, the only great deals I've been getting is at CVS. But, I'd thought I'd let you know about the FREE Suave coupon here! It's for a free full size bottle and would be a great filler item if you have any $/$$ coupons for WAGS, CVS ect. Enjoy!

The Resolutions and what we've been eating

I'll be honest...I'm one of the suckers that makes promises to themselves at the beginning of the year. Last year I tried to cook more and be more conscious of what I was purchasing(I've always read ingredient labels, but I'm more concerned/aware now)...also, to be more frugal. Last June, I decided that ad matching was not going to cut it to maintain my goal of frugalness, so I started coupon-ing! This year, I'm BAKING,PUREE-ING, and exercising! I thought that if I ate more healthful and cut out the "bad" snacks(mostly), then it, plus exercising, would get the job done of losing the excess weight. Honestly, cooking and baking make me focus on eating less anyways because I'm too consumed with making the food that I don't snack! I also chew gum when I cook or keep a water bottle handy so I don't nibble on what I make:)

Cookbook recommendations: Deceptively Delicous by Jessica Seinfeld and also a similar book called The Sneaky Chef. These have kid(and hubby) friendly recipes that will also be friendly to your diet.

MENU items
breakfasts: cereal, applesauce muffins(sweet potato puree, applesauce, and oats), PB and banana muffins(w/cauliflower), yogurt w/ berries, soyjoy bars:), bananas, homemade bread!, pumpkin muffins
lunches:turkey chili, spinich salads, soup, white chicken chili, leftovers, sandwhiches, chicken stirfry, leftovers
dinner: breakfast tacos, pasta w/veggies(I made pasta sauce too!), burgers( lean meat and carrot mixed in:) ), grilled fish....although it wouldn't cook for some reason!, chicken w/broc.cheese rice, veggie sides
snacks:fruit, crackers, muffins, chips(leftover from a party..hubby snack)...

CVS and WAGS trip

*Traci, sorry for the confusion, I bought the Springfield paper inside CVS. I wanted to buy the KCStar, but it was sold out already. I moved, and I do not live anywhere near other vendors for papers like the KCStar or St.Louis Dispatch. So, I just got tons of Springfield papers without any good RP coupons:(


I don't do well at rolling ECBs when I can't find items and are hurried by having people with me:) So, this could have been a MM or broken even after ECBs, but I didn't ask for a raincheck on the children's throat coolers until after my last transaction, so I ended up spending money on my gift card:

Trans1
3 boxes SoyJoy bars $6ea

Last trip of 2008

We had expiring checks from WIC and after moving milk and yogurt were pretty essential on Christmas Eve! So we headed off to our closest grocery destination to our new house...Walmart! Dillons, Target, PriceCutter, HarterHouse, Walgreens, and even CVS are a bit of a drive now since we have to go through town....no longer do I have the pleasure of a 5 min. walk to WAGS, but we do have a nice place for a while:) Here's what I picked up(not including our 2 new lamps and welcome mat) This is counting as Jan. budget since it's so close to the end of the month.
