FYI Rita, I was able to print the granola bar coupon at least 4 times. My husand LOVES those, so it's nice to get a few boxes at a lower price. Thanks for keeping up with this. I know it's not always easy but I'm really into it and I appreciate all you share!

Wow! how impressive.

Great job! I don't often get my totals to negative either.. try to avoid it, but when it does happen they always make me buy something :)

The only place I've really found that has produce coupons is Super Target! I had printed off a Target coupon for $1 off potatoes and they were on sale for 1.99, so I think that was a great deal! Go here http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/view.php?pg=cpngenerator to find all the Target coupons available right now. They frequently have one for $1 off veggies too, which makes them free sometimes!

Rita, where do you get coupons for produce? I never seem to find those. I'd love a bag of potatoes for $1!!!

We've shared an award with you, although I'm not sure what we need to do other than just warn you!

2009-03-24T22:00:00.000-05:00

Better than free toilet paper is not needing it at all....Save money and the Earth and be clean at the same time! Get serious and add Bathroom Bidet Sprayers to all your bathrooms. I think Dr. Oz on Oprah said it best: "if you had pee or poop on your hand, you wouldn't wipe it off with paper, would you? You'd wash it off” Available at www.bathroomsprayers.com with these you won't even need toilet paper any more, just a towel to dry off! Don’t worry, you can still leave some out for guests and can even make it the soft stuff without felling guilty. It's cheap and can be installed without a plumber; and runs off the same water line to your toilet. You'll probably pay for it in a few months of toilet paper savings. And after using one of these you won't know how you lasted all those years with wadded up handfuls of toilet paper. As for water use a drought is always a concern and must be dealt with prudently but please remember that in the big picture the industrial water users always far exceed the water use of household users and in the case of toilet paper manufacture it is huge. The pollution and significant power use from that manufacturing process also contributes to global warming so switching to a hand bidet sprayer and lowering your toilet paper use is very green in multiple ways.

Have a great week!

2009-01-10T18:33:00.000-06:00

Hi Rita:

My name is MJ Purk. My real name is Margaret. I am 21 years old and am a junior in college. I have SMA type 1+, meaning I don't fit in any category. I got your blog address from a google alert. I'm sorry to hear about Eli being tested for SMA. I have an organization that sends blankets to kids with SMA and would love to send one to Eli. My organization is called B4SMA. My caregiver and several others make the blankets. If you would like more information, check out http://www.our-sma-angels.com/b4sma/
Should you decide that you would like to receive a blanket, please e-mail me with your post address. All we ask in return is a picture of Eli with his blanket covering him. Also, if I can help answer any questions you may have regarding SMA, please don't hesitate to email me at any time. I am not afraid to answer any questions you might have. Big hugs to you and your family.

2009-01-06T12:55:00.000-06:00

I think I am going to start stealing your meal plans. I would love a fried potato right now! Hope Mr. Eli is doing well.
Love you
Brandi

Rita,
We will hold you and your family close. If you do get the SMA diagnosis and need some support, please contact me jgood03@windstream.net. I am the mother of a 2.5 year old with SMA type I. He is thriving with the abilities he has. I know this is a very hard time for you and your family. there is a whole community that can help you if you get this diagnosis and when you are ready.
May the Lord hold you closely as you wait for the results.

2009-01-03T19:46:00.000-06:00

Very nice!

I didn't think about using my 2.50 off 10 pain relief CRT for the Excedrin! Agh! I didn't do the deal since I couldn't print the $2.00 off coupons (used those months ago!) That would have been great!

Ah well. Too late now!

By the way, you're blog design is quite lovely!

Tator Tot Cassorole is one of my favorite comfort food favorites. It's also a big winner for potlucks.
Have a terrific week.
