~Menu Monday~

It's Monday! It was almost 80 here this weekend, but is finally starting to turn cooler this week. I'm ready to start cooking in my oven again! I will give you a recap of what we ate last week:

Roast, potatoes, carrots (twice...dinner & then lunch)
Tacos & queso
Beef Stroganoff (I always add extra noodles to it to make enough for leftovers...also, the beef used was from when I made tacos...I always make extra and take it out before seasoning)
Roast beef tacos & leftover queso(used the leftover roast meat with taco seasoning and it was delicious!)
Spaghetti, corn, salad & bread
BBQ chicken sandwiches (crockpot BBQ chicken)
Pizza

As you can see, we did not eat out this week! Yeah! Also, please note that I use a lot of leftovers too. They don't seem like leftovers if you are making them into something new. It makes cooking so much faster if you already have the meat portion ready!

Hope this is inspiring you all to plan your menu and eat at home more. Dining out is the #1 budget buster.

Happy Menu Monday!

~Rain Checks~

Noticing a trend in some of my posts??? I use a great deal of rainchecks! If a store is out of a special they are running (must be advertised), don't be afraid to ask (nicely) for a raincheck. It is a little bit of a hassle (only because they have to hand write it), but pays off when the item comes in and you get it super cheap, FREE or even make money on it!

Happy Rainchecking!

~Kroger Manager Special!~

I LOVE Manger's Specials!!!


We went out-of-town for a day trip on Saturday. On the way home I dropped by a Kroger in another city. I only had a few things to get, but then realized some of my coupons were about to expire the next day. So, we ended up getting another 10 items for the $5 off promo deal (some items not in pic). My real score was the "Manager's Special" meat that I found marked down. Literally, I may have done a happy dance in the store!
The meat is only 7% fat and was marked down half price PLUS I used .50 cent Kroger meat coupons that doubled. I ended up getting this meat for around $1.46 per lb! I can make 10 meals out of these 5 packages once I split it up and freeze it. That makes me smile just typing it :)
Yes, I could have gotten meat even cheaper. However, it would not be 93/7. It would be at least 15% fat. That is why I am so excited about this score!

2 Colgate-$1 -$1 =FREE!
2 Ricola-FREE (after BOGO q....$2.19 deducted...sale price .50, so this was a moneymaker!)
Chapstick-.50
Grande Chips $2-$1q =$1
Wonder bread $1.99 -.55q =$1.44
Rotel .99 -.50q (doubled)=FREE!

~Walgreen's Yesterday~



4 Sure (raincheck)
Reg. ? (over $3)
sale $1.50
-$1.50 q
=FREE! (These will be perfect for the Christmas shoe boxes that I will be making!)

4 Scotch tape (BOGO sale)
$1.79
-(4) .50 q
=$1.29 for 2 or .64 cents each! I will never use poor quality tape again! :)

~CVS Yesterday~


2 Bengay (these are the large tubes)
$5.99
-$2 ECB
-$2 q
=$1.99 each

Glade (raincheck)
Reg. $9.99
sale $6.99
-$6.99 ECB
-$3 q
=FREE + $3 money maker! Woohoo!

I had also bought a couple other things (vitamins, etc) and used a $5/$15 purchase coupon that printed from my card at the store. It was a very good CVS day for me!

~Great Gifts From Couponing!~

Several of you have asked me to write about different gift ideas from coupons. This year I will be giving the best gifts and will have spent the least amount of money. I will be giving good quality gifts (the kind I would like to receive).
Here is a list of gift ideas from couponing:

Candles (you can get these FREE or nearly FREE)

Diffuser (FREE or super cheap)

Starbucks coffee ($1/2 bags coupon) I'm not a coffee drinker, but most people are. You could make a cute little gift with a bag of Starbucks and I'm sure it would be cheaper than a Starbucks gift card.

Lotions (Bath & Body works is always having a promo of some sort)

A Dessert Basket (take a recipe and include all of the ingredients into the basket)...gifts like this presentation is important! You could include all of the FREE ingredients that you have been collecting. Yeah!

Travel kits (if you are buying for someone who travels a great deal or has a special trip planned, get them a bunch of travel sized goodies) You can get tons of this stuff for FREE with coupons!

Household items...I made a basket full of cleaning supplies, paper goods and other household items as a wedding gift for some friends. The recipients were thrilled because it is all stuff they needed. I put it in a dishpan and added a super cute poem that related to the items and marriage. I was very proud to give it to them. The best part....everything was purchased with coupons! What retailed for over $30, I spent less than $5.

Favorite Things...Figure out what your recipients favorite things are and make them a basket. The fact that you took time to put together their favorite things will be so special. There are coupons out there for most every personal care item, so have fun with it!

Grilling Gifts...If you have someone who loves to grill or just loves to eat (he he), put together a basket with different seasonings & marinades. Men love these types of gifts!

Coupon booklet...If you know of a service that you could offer, make a personalized coupon booklet for the recipient. Example: 2 hours of FREE babysitting, etc. There are endless possibilities for a personalized coupon booklet!

Animal Lover Gift Basket...If the recipient is a cat or dog lover, make them a gift with treats and toys for their animal. There are always tons of coupons for treats.

Don't underestimate your local dollar store for add-on items to combine with your coupon gifts. They have cute gift bags and other plastic items that would be cute to put a gift in. Again, you might have to think outside the box (put a ribbon on a plastic trashcan to make a basket). It is also a great place to shop if you go with the recipe gift basket. They have $1 utensils that would be cute to put in with the basket. Also, they have cute mugs to put with the Starbucks coffee. Literally, the possibilities are endless here.

Remember giving gifts is not about the amount spent, but the thought and the quality of the item (meaning-don't give people a bunch of junk they are going to throw away...it is a waste of your precious money). Instead give them thoughtful gifts by using coupons that you can afford. Have fun with it and enjoy giving this year. The season is not about being stressed about giving gifts. Giving should bring you joy!

If you have an idea you would like to share, please leave a comment or email me (coachoshields@hotmail.com).

Hope this helps!

Be Blessed :)

~CVS Coupons Today~

What am I getting at CVS this week???


Glade Reed Diffuser or 10 oz Soy Candle $6.99
-get $6.99 ECB
- 3.00 q

I was excited this morning when they actually still had a candle left. I would have been fine with the diffuser, but really wanted the candle. When I returned to the car my hubby said "do we get to keep that one?" Ha! I am forever looking for "gifts", however we may just be burning this one for ourselves :)

*This qualifies for the SC Johnson $5 Rebate also. Yeah!

Be blessed!

Coupons and Donations

Christmas is coming and that means DONATIONS, DONATIONS, DONATIONS! Couponing is a perfect way to be able to give when you normally would not be able too. It feels so good to bless others.
Will you all join me in my excitement for being able to help families in need this holiday season? This is a great opportunity to bless others and remember the true meaning of the season.

Great things to donate (from couponing):
boxed food items
canned food items
shampoo
razors
toothbrushes
toothpaste

Be blessed!
