1-24-10

Just browsing through the Dispatch ads.

Target is advertising SWIMSUITS and SHORTS!!
Hello people, it's JANUARY!!!

The only thing I saw in the ads worthwhile
with a coupon match up was:

16-24ct. Stayfree Maxi Pads $1.99
Use the buy 1 get 1 free manufacture coupon.
Averages out to be .99 cents each.
I am guessing that these are regularly
around $4.00 plus each.

Carefree Pantiliners $1.99
Printable coupon for $1.00 off
makes it .99 cents each.

Sure Deodorant $1.50
use Walgreen coupon limit 4
Printable .75 cents off coupon
makes it .75 cents each.
OR
use $1.00 off manufacture coupon
makes it .50 cents each
OR
use $1.50 off manufacture coupon
makes it FREE!

***Kendra- could use these coupons if you have them
as that's the only kind of deodorant Tony can use
that doesn't break him out.***

For those of you looking for an easy way
to organize coupons I made a video describing
how I set up my coupon notebook.

The sweet bread loaves are great to make pizzas with!
Split each loaf in half then cut the halves in half
and top like a pizza. I use tomato soup as sauce.
It's not as bity as regular pizza sauce.
2 loaves will make 8 pizzas.

The second bag of sweet bread I will use to make Meatball Boats.
Cut out the centers. Use the extra cut out bread to mix
with ground deer burger to make meatballs. Put meatballs,
sauce (I use tomato soup)and cheese in them then bake.
2 loaves will make 4 meatballs boats (subs)

Still not feeling the greatest today.
Leg muscles are hurting. While at the store
today my hands and nose got extremely cold!
Now as I'm sitting here I got cold chills again!
Trying to get motivated to do laundry and haul
Christmas things down to the basement.
Yesterday while it was half way decent outside,
Tony took down all the lights and decorations.

Photo of my food stockpile.
When hubby used to remodel the kitchens at
his work I would have him save me some cabinets.
Those cabinets now house food & non food items
that I store in the basement in my makeshift pantry.
