So far, I’ve only made it to Walgreens.  If I make it to CVS I’ll likely only get the free candy (through today) and the Glade deal that I have a raincheck for.

Transaction 1 1 Blink @ 8.00 1 Vienna Sausages @ .99 subtotal: $8.99 used $1/1 Blink from 1/15 {Read More}

Is Buying a Whole Chicken Cheaper than Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast?

This post may contain affiliate links.

I have finally proved if it’s cheaper to buy boneless skinless or whole chicken. My theory was that the extra fat and the bones of a whole chicken, plus extra cook time and preparation efforts, would cancel out the savings from the lower price point. Being the numbers girl that I am, I set out last week to determine if the boneless skinless chicken breast that I usually buy is cheaper or if the whole chicken is cheaper. You’ll be {Read More}

This post may contain affiliate links.

Practicing coupon cutting with expired coupons. This was actually my husband’s idea.  I had mentioned several months ago that I needed to print off some worksheets with different types of lines for little Turkey to practice cutting.  My husband asked why I would waste ink and paper like that when I have stacks of expired coupons to cut (to send overseas to military families) that he could practice with- AND feel like he’s helping Mama.  Ingenious!  I spent about 40 {Read More}

This post may contain affiliate links.

As I sit down to write the menu for the week, I’m writing out my 4 weekly “to do” lists (personal tasks, blogging tasks, cleaning chores, less common maintenance cleaning tasks).  It’s helping me to accomplish things that easily get pushed aside otherwise, even if I don’t get them all checked off!  Has anyone found a homemaking plan online that works for you?  I’ve tried Fly Lady, but it was just too much for me.  I’d love to hear about {Read More}

Frugal $5 Dinner Menu Week 5 of 2012

This post may contain affiliate links.

My goal is to provide dinner for my family for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal!  I shop the grocery sales each week.  Then I plan my menu based on the foods I have already at home (at a great price). I balance more expensive meals with less expensive ones. We typically only cook a main dish 4 or 5 times a week. Each main dish {Read More}

$0.70 off Keebler Crackers

This post may contain affiliate links.

$.70/1 Keebler is a pretty good coupon for Keebler crackers.  This should make them about the same price as generic crackers at most stores without a sale.  If you pair it with a sale they should be cheaper!
