Yogurt Bananza!

I went on a Yogurt Spree... I got each of the 4pkg of yogurt for .40 cents each and the gogurts for $1. The cheese (2 lb bag) 2.99 and the apples (3 lb bag) for 1.99

Now what did I do with all of those yogurts???

Well I'm sure that everyone knows that gogurts taste best frozen...

As for the other flavors Yoplus froze really well and now my son calls it "yogurt ice cream"

The FiberOne didn't freeze as well but it did make yummy "fruit" roll ups... If you have a dehydrator spray your tray a little and evenly spread the yogurt. It said 130 degrees for 12-13 hours. You can use any yogurt you have or try different yogurts to see which you like better!

Catch em while you can!

So when I'm at a store I make sure to check the christmas sale aisle! I did at Target and boy did I save!

Don't Get Stumped!

Christmas is coming and there is always a mile long list of people you want (or feel obligated) to give goodies to...

Here are some solutions...

There are tons of things that you can get for cheap or free by couponing... I was able to get these Nivea lip glosses for 49 cents each (saved $13). These are a great gift goodies or stocking suffers.

There are cake mixes and cookie mixes that you can give away.... for a cute idea for homemade cookies in a can click HERE (one of my favorite idea blogs).

I know there is also a coupon in the SS for cuties (the clementine tangerines). If everyone gave me those for Christmas I'd be happy! I could eat the whole bag in a day!

I thummed through my coupon inserts the other day to see if there was any extra things that I could use for holiday gift ideas! You might be surprized!

Another thought is that everyone is asking for canned goods during the season... It's a good time to check your stash and give a little where you have a lot (you might notice you won't use some cans before they expire).

If anyone else has good gift ideas that are cheap let us know! We'd love to hear them!

Happy Saving during the Holiday Season!

Stock up deals!

12 boxes of cereal

7 1/2 lbs of chicken

4 bags of tortilla chips

For $14.00 (the chicken was $10.80) So... $3.20 for 12 boxes of cereal and 4 bags of tortilla chips! WAHOO!!!

It's a Rush!

For those of you that are avid couponers know exactly what it's like when you reach the check out line and watch the person in front of you spend 100's of dollars on their few items and then you with your full cart of groceries watch as the total goes from 100's to nothing! It is a RUSH! There is nothing like it! Whenever we tell people that we spend 100 dollars a month on food, toiletries, diapers/wipes, makeup, cleaning supplies, shampoo/conditioner, soaps... etc they can't believe it! (Especially because we don't live off of Hamburger Helper and Macaroni & Cheese!)

Yea for great deals, saving money and getting a rush!

Don't Miss Out!

So I love getting my papers and going through all of the ads to see what other coupons or deals I can find! I found over $100 worth of coupons this week!

Things like

$3 off Shipping

$10 off shoes

$2 off diapers

Department store money & Discounts

20% off at Ulta (and I'll add a manufactures coupon to that)

I even found an Ad that will get me a better deal on my newspapers!

Don't forgo all of these great treasures by throwing the paper away before you take a gander! You won't regret it!
