Sales Ad

Aiyyyy ... it's Wednesday which means the newspaper has the Publix ad that starts tomorrow (my favorite grocery store, where shopping IS a pleasure). But of course, I've already been scoping out the real deals over at I Heart Publix because Michelle does such a GREAT job of putting a preview up! So I'm browsing both online, looking for a few additional coupons over at A Full Cup and telling myself that I really DO NOT need anything this week with the exception of milk (which of course, I will buy 2 packs of oreos, spend less than $7 for 2 oreos and 2 gallons of milk, which is actually LESS than 2 gallons of milk in the end). *note: the deal is this, $1.50 coupon (tearpad) off 1 gallon of milk (milk runs about $3.39 lately) when you buy one Nabisco cookie. Then I also have the $1 off Golden Oreos. So my oreos cost me $1.99 and the milk cost me $1.50. We go through 2 gallons of milk a week and about 2 packages of Oreos (and no, not at the same time!). Makes sense to me. But then I start browsing some more. Oh. Ritz crackers are on sale. Oh Cheese! I'm getting low on cheese (I THINK, need to dig around in the freezers) and I have coupons and there is also a match up of free Ritz when you buy 3 cheeses. Hmmm. I can get TWO free Ritz, use TWO $1 off coupons on the crackers AND use the $1 off of each of the cheese. $16 less $4, less $2, less $3. Hmmm. That would be $7 (again??!!) for 2 boxes of crackers & 3 lbs of cheese. Sounds like a no brainer again. Ugggg. What's a girl to do?? Then there is the $1.50 off berries coupon that expires TODAY. I can get free blueberries with that. The kids have already eaten the 2 pints I bought over the weekend. Amazing that they like fruit better than chips. I'm glad! I do need bleach. Benadryl (pill & spray). Milk. Bread. Salad stuff (I used the last of my $1 off salad last week, Horrors!). Tonight is tacos so I better go see if I have cheese, huh? :) Oh wait, I can use the taco dinner that has the liquid stuff if need be. I also need ... something else, but I'm clueless at the moment! Oh. And then Crystal Light is on sale again. BUT silly me held out the last few weeks and my coupons all expired. Uggg. Guess I'll be drinking my less favorite stuff (the teas...not crazy about them). There's the Sargento Cheese deal too. Buy 2 Sargento sliced cheese and get a free pepperidge farm bun for free. Hmmm. $1 off two Publix coupon, 2 55 cent off one package and FREE buns? $2.69 each, so $5, less $1, less $1.10 AND FREE buns? Oh I think I might have to work this one too this week. Everyone is eating THIS stuff up (don't even go to the ice cream stuff, BLUE BELL this week!) And then you have the Sobe water deal at Target going on, buy 10 at $1 each and get a $5 Target gift card back. Oh boy. I have 2 b1g1f coupons. I also have 1 50 cent off Target coupon AND the electronic 50 cent off Target on my phone (they scan bar code on screen of phone). Hmmm...FREE Sobe, or awful close in the end. That is definitely the steal of the day. So, how about the rest of you? Anyone doing any spectacular deals?

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
