I noticed that when I was cutting
out printable coupons and stacking them
together that they seemed to stick to one another.
It's about like a cashier handing you new
dollar bills and they are hard to get apart
without first wetting your fingers.
That got me thinking, because what if
I hand the cashier my coupons and and she misses
scanning some
because they were stuck together.
So here was my idea to solve that problem.
When stacking the coupons, criss cross them like this
and hand them to the cashier like that.
.
10:47AM
Just got done going through my coupons
and started getting a rough draft
of a grocery list together.
This is what I am hoping it will look like
$26.53 for all the below.
I will work this evening on
getting the actual grocery list together
for tomorrow and see if everything is correct
because my head is spinning at the moment!
I still might add a couple things like
eggs and bread. Won't be able to freeze
any bread at the moment so will have
to buy it as I need it due to freezer space.
See why my head has been spinning?
Let's see you make heads or tails
of this, LOL!

Just got all the chicken I made up in the crock pot
yesterday divided up into 3 gallon sized freezer bags.
.
.
I also removed the broth from the fridge
and scraped off the fat.
This is now fat-free broth to use in soups.
When refrigerated it turns to a
jello like consistency but will
"melt" down once heated and turn
back into a liquid.
How much is a can of broth?
And how many cans could you get from
this crock pot (both crocks combined) for FREE??
LOTS!

Just a couple chicken noodle recipes
I found to get ideas of how to make mine for supper tonight.
Grandma's Chicken Noodle Soup
Quick & Easy Chicken Noodle Soup
I thought I would throw in this interesting fact.
CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP FOR COLDS-
DOES IT REALLY WORK?
___________________
Supper tonight.
Ok here's how I made
Sherry's Chicken Noodle Soup
2 boxes Chicken Helper Creamy & Noodles $1.00
About 8 cups chicken broth-FREE
1 cup (1 pound) chopped up chicken-.11 cents
1/2 cup chopped celery- .10 cents
3 carrots sliced -.05 cents
pinch of Oregano-FREE
pinch of Basil-FREE
Dash of Garlic Powder-FREE
About 1/8 cup dehydrated onions-.10 cents
Boil broth. Add in both packets of seasoning
from Helper boxes. Add in other seasonings,
celery and onions. Bring to a boil then add in
both pasta packages. Boil until pasta become tender.
Reduce heat and stir in carrots & chicken.
I boiled my carrots in another pan
ahead of time.
The sauce mixes from the Helpers
will help thicken the broth some so no
need to add any corn starch or flour!
Who says you have to make
the Helpers according to the box directions.
TOTAL COST TO MAKE: $1.36
.

GROCERY SMARTS PRINTABLE COUPONS
A VERY large list of coupons!!
__________________
Ok I've got to explain this story to you
to see if you can figure it out because I sure
as heck can't.
Today I got my mortgage payment statement.
Along with that bill they included a letter
stating I could sign up for free $10,000 disability
for the next year, then after that would cost $9.95
for $200,000 worth of disability insurance.
No doctor's exams required.
Sounded good to me as it was something
I have been wanting for Tony with him
having the house in his name and being
sole provider.
So anyway I get to reading this paper
and all the fine print.
Get this, for you to be qualified as
being disabled and to claim benefits
you have to have :
paralysis (total loss of muscle function in
an area of your body BUT cannot be brought
on by exclusions listed below!),
Double Dismemberment
(you have to lose both legs or arms,
not just one!).
It does not cover anyone that has had:
a stroke,
a heart attack,
diabetes,
mental sickness,
suicide or attempt,
other sickness,
disease,
bodily infirmity
(weakness brought on by old age),
infections of any kind regardless of how contacted,
any act of war injuries,
full time duty in military injuries,
riding on any transportation that requires a fair,
being under the influence of drugs or alcohol,
malpractice,
racing at a track,
any accidents outside US.
So what are our chances of losing
both limbs to qualify for this?
Because that sounds like the only
thing this disability will cover!!
I mean what else is there???
This is the most assinine
disability insurance coverage I have ever heard of!!
It just makes my head spin!!
And so many people out there will
sign up for complete crap like this
because they don't read the fine print!!
---------------------
And if you think that my head is
spinning from that you
try to figure out my step-dad.
I try to help them so much with saving
money. Especially now with him
being retired and their income
dropping. But my step-dad is one
who still wants to do everything
even if they don't have the money.
Doesn't want to cut back or do without!
I am sure there are many families
out there where people don't want to
cut back and keep spending even though
it is over the amount you make each month.
I just don't understand these people
and probably never will and it bothers
the crap outta me!!
Anyway here is what I am dealing
with at the moment!
Every now and then when starting mom's truck
there is a squeal that lasts for about 5 seconds.
Nothing major.
Doesn't do it all the time.
Before having the truck even looked at!,
my step-dad went out and bought 2 belts!!
It's only one belt possibly squealing for pete's sake!
If anything why didn't we try the cheaper
route and get some belt dressing to see
if that worked first?????
I am female and know you don't need 2 belts
for this, and it could be other things and not even a belt!!
Which to me it doesn't sound like a belt!
It could be one of these other things but he won't listen
to a female about working on cars!!
,
a loose belt that needs tightened,
a too tight of a belt that needs loosened,
it could be a pully or tensioner making the noise
and not even a belt!!
It could be a compressor kicking on squealing,
maybe even the alternator bearings causing the noise,
water pump bearing,
harmonic balancer,
air conditioner compressor,
or could even be a leak getting on the belts.
My ears hear something other than
squealing and I'm thinking bearings,
pulley/tensioner.
So I am so flustered at the moment with him!!
And get this, because I am still banging
my head on wall because of it-
Someone told him you need to replace
your belts yearly!
And someone told him that because
anti-freeze got on the belt it would
cause it to dry rot and need replaced!
I AM GOING TO SCREAM BECAUSE
I HAVE NEVER EVER HEARD SUCH
ASSININE CRAP IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!
WHY DO PEOPLE LISTEN TO
EVERYTHING THEY ARE TOLD???
THAT IS WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH AMERICA.
PEOPLE BELIEVE WHAT THEY ARE TOLD
AND CANNOT THINK FOR THEMSELVES!!!!
Now, he hasn't had someone replace the belts
yet, so I am curious to see when he does
if it fixes the problem or if I AM RIGHT!!
I SUSPECT THE BELTS DO NOT NEED REPLACED!
So here is my statement ahead of time
to see who is right.
Because he trusts his friend's word
over mine.
And NO, Tony is not here to tell
me all the stuff above!
He is working overtime.
I tired of being made out to look
like a dumb ass most of the time by others
because I am female and should not
know about cars!
Yes, the extra dose of hormones are
kicking in at the moment.
You figure that out also, HA HA!
Ya know what, a hot bath sounds good
right about now!

Just got done with my finalized grocery list.
I will be using 59 coupons.
My after total should be around $29.58.
And if there are any problems with coupons
I signed my name on the back
of each and every one of them.
Should coupons not get scanned or something
I can have the service desk people yank
that cashiers bag and find each and every one
of my coupons with no problem!
Plus 5 bags of chicken I got
the other day which was $11.25
(mom bought 2 bags)
TOTAL FOR WEEK SO FAR: $40.83
