Well today me and mom ended up
going to Kroger and another store called Deals.
I had never been to Deals before, located
in Westerville by Roush Hardware.
To me they are a cross between a Dollar Tree,
Dollar General and Family Dollar.
The only thing I got there was
Hawaiian Punch drink mixes for water $1.00 each
and a container of parmesan cheese for $2.50.

I got a few items.
I was trying to buy items for the kids
lunches that were more healthy for them
and had less sugar.

2 bananas to make peanut butter banana
tortilla roll ups for kids lunch .50 cents.

24 bottled water for $2.60
3 boxes 8 count sugar free Hawaiian Punch for water $1.00 each.
This was cheaper than Capri Sun juice pouches
which ran $1.90 for 10 pouches.
Those pouches contain about 18 grams
of sugar per serving compared to the water
and Hawaiian Punch that had no sugar in it.

I also bought a large jar of applesauce with
no added sugar. To buy the jar I got twice
as much applesauce compared to buying
the little individual serving sizes.
A regular or cinnamon applesauce
jar had 20 grams of sugar per serving!
With the no added sugar applesauce was
only 9 grams.
I also bought a small box of sugar free
strawberry jello .33 cents. I plan to empty
this pouch into the no sugar added applesauce
to make strawberry flavored applesauce.

Also bought some diet 2 liters of Big K pop
and a package of cookies.
I know cookies have the sugar but it's
ok in moderation.

My total bill was $13.28
BUT I didn't pay anything due
to using a gift card I had.
I had signed up for some kind of research/survey thing
through Kroger's pharmacy and they gave us
two $25 gift cards for doing it!
And ya know I don't even remember having
to do anything to get those cards!!
.
.

After shopping me, mom and my step-dad
went to Fazoli's Italian for lunch.
I had printed a coupon they sent me in my email
and we used that.
Our total bill came to $5.33!!!!!!
If it hadn't been for mom getting extra
cheese on both dishes it would have been $4.33!
Tax was .34 cents.
We got 3 waters free,
a large plate of spaghetti with extra cheese
and another dish of pepperoni spaghetti with extra cheese
and unlimited bread sticks!!!!
We split up everything between the three of
us and our bellies were stuffed when we got done!

--------------------------------------------

4:15pm

I got the strawberry applesauce made
along with 8 bottles of water with
Hawaiian Punch drink mixes.
It's so much easier to make things ahead of time!
.
...-----------------------------------

5:45PM

It's 55 degrees out at the moment,
cloudy and 14mph winds.
I hear a knock at the door.
It's truck driver neighbor's 2 girls
at the door asking for the boys to come out,
which they are not allowed at the moment.
One has shorts on and the other a little skirt
and neither have shoes on their feet.
And we wonder why we all get sick
this time of year when we can't dress
our kids appropriately!!

Tony is at the doctor's office,
an hour and a half later from the time
his appointment was, grrr.
Now they are sending him to
a specialist for his diabetic feet.
Have to wait to get the appointment.
Wonder how much that is gonna cost?
I swear family doctor's aren't too
knowledgeable when it comes
to diabetics as they really haven't done
much for him other than put him on pills
and run blood work!
He says he has severe pain in his feet
so they give him pain medicines.
You can't take these medicines and drive
let alone work as they make you feel loopy,
tired or lightheaded.
So what good are they other than to take
at home when planning to go nowhere??


6:00PM

Got supper on the stove.
We are having
Creamy Chicken & Noodles.
2 boxes chicken helper $1.00
1/4 bag already made chicken .05 cents
(remember I got like 3 family packs
chicken all for $1.29 so it was very cheap!)
5 slices of bread with butter .05 cents
(bread was .38 cents a loaf
and butter was free!)

$1.10 for 5 servings
@ .22 cents a serving

I also made up some chicken salad
for the kids lunches for tomorrow
with a little bit of the chicken from
above that I reserved and put aside
for lunches.
So they will have chicken salad sandwiches.


Gotta run to Kroger tonight after
supper to get Tony's prescriptions,
then start packing lunches,
unload dishwasher & put dishes away,
load dishwasher with dirty dishes,
hang and put away the remaining
load of clothes in the dryer,
throw some blankets in washer,
might do that tomorrow though
as I am trying to plan to hang them outside
Wednesday when the weather isn't calling for rain,
work on a grocery list and a plan
for Meijers and possibly Walgreens tomorrow.
I say plan as I see on my $2.00 coupons
from last week are only good
per transaction! Grrr!
So looks like I'm making a couple trips
through the checkout since the coupons
expire the 7th. Either that or make
another trip back tomorrow.
I can't let free $12 worth of coupons go to waste!
Sometime I need to find time to
clean house as it looks like a war zone in here!
I can't get ahead worth nothing
and if I do it looks like I never did anything!
So I can't win!

10-3-10

Homemade Simple coupon booklet with over
$35 in savings.

Takes 4-6 weeks to get.

----------------------------------------

Here's a suggestion for an upcoming
baby shower where they are possibly
serving chili.
I just now thought about this
as this was what we were having
for lunch today.
How about making chili bowls
for the chili and serving sides
such as onions, cheese, sour cream and
a bottle of Frank's Red Hot Sauce???

The bowls are really easy to make
with a can of regular size biscuits.
Kroger 8 count biscuits are $1.00
but today is the last day of that sale.
Remove biscuits from can,
lightly spray the backside
of a cupcake pan
and press the biscuits over
each cupcake part.
Bake according to directions.
Remove from pan and
spoon chili inside cups.
Kroger shredded cheese
is going back on sale starting tomorrow
for $1.00 a 2 cup package!
(reg. $2.99 each)

Watch for the sour cream to go
on sale for $1.00 also.

If you go HERE you can sign up
and are able to print 2 coupons Frank's Red Hot Sauce.
If you use the coupon doubled at
Meijers you can more than likely
get it for FREE!

10 cans biscuits $10 (1 chili bowl each, double for 2 each)
5 pkgs cheese $5.00 (about 1/4 cup per person)
2 tubs sour cream $2.00 (if it goes on sale)
3 onions, diced .60 cents
Hot sauce -Free
Someone else makes the chili- Free

Total cost to doodle up your chili
for a party of 80 people:
$17.60
for 40 people:
$9.60 to $10.60

You could bake the biscuit bowls
now and freeze.
Then rewarm in oven on about 200 degrees.

.
..
---------------------------------------

Well I no sooner got lunch done
and now time to throw supper in the
crock and a load of clothes in the washer.

Supper:
Tilapia in the crock
marinated with butter & Italian seasoning
Baked & seasoned potatoes
Cut potatoes into wedges then
coat with olive or canola oil
then shake in a large zip bag
with some flour & seasoning then bake 400 degrees
for about 30 minutes.

-----------------------------------------

3:20pm

Got the fish filets marinating.
Thinking about wrapping the filets
up in aluminum foil and baking them
along side of the potatoes in the oven.

2nd load of wash is in.
Another in the dryer.
And yet another I did the other day
got folded and hung up.

Now will work on getting the kids
lunches made for tomorrow
and plan a menu for them for
the rest of the week.

Thinking about pb&j roll ups.
-cut the crusts off bread slices.
Roll bread out with rolling pin
or the side of a glass.
Spread with a little peanut butter
then jelly.
Roll up like a jelly roll.
Then cut/slice into 4 pieces.
.

kidsushi20090302-2

other ways of making:

-use flour tortillas instead of bread.

-place a banana on tortilla
along with peanut butter or nutella then roll up.

---------------------------------------------------

Well around 6:00pm

we're heading out to Hilliard to check out a TV

we saw on craigslist.

Our TV has broken buttons on it

but still works with the remote.

Christopher has a tv with no remote

and the volume down button won't work.

The volume is stuck on a louder than

normal setting than I would prefer.

So we're giving him our tv, trashing his

and buying another used one for our room

with a remote.

I know I have owned our bedroom tv

for at least 16 years!!

Amazed it is still going!

And no siree, this new tv is not

an LCD.

Can't afford another one of those

just yet, not even a smaller one!


Because our radiator has started

leaking on the Suburban.

We noticed a puddle under

it Friday when eating at Taco Bell.

I don't want to know how

much another one costs! We bought

one for out tracker at $150 to $160 I think

and that was a tiny radiator compared to this one!

-------------------------------------

8:00PM


Went to Hilliard and got a tv.

Got about 1/4 of the way home

and realized the remote didn't

go with the tv so turned back around

to see if they had the correct remote

and they did.

Home now and still working on laundry,

getting tvs hooked up and moved around,

kids need to get their shower soon,

got lunches all ready to go for tomorrow.

Now need to lay clothes out for everyone.

Is it possible that one weekend go by

that we don't have to go anywhere

and do something?

Not sure if I'm going to the store tomorrow

or not. I really need to stay home

and get bills done!

Then Tuesday and later on this week

go to Meijer and Kroger.

The only thing I really need from Kroger

is pop and cheese.


------------------------------------


8:45PM


Just got an email for Fazoli's

with a coupon. You would need

to sign up with them to receive

special offers in your email.

Anyway the printable coupon

is for a Free small spaghetti entree

with the purchase of an adult entree.

Wonder if those $3.99 deals are still going on

for spaghetti, ravioli or zitti?

If so I could take mom and my step-dad,

they split the $3.99 entree which is enough

for 2 people and includes bread sticks,

and I could have the free spaghetti.

We could drink water for free

or they could get a senior discount

for a soda for .50 cents.

Me and mom could split a refillable soda

and step dad could get one.

So for a total $4.99 I could

take the three of us out to eat

at an Italian restaurant.


--------------------------

9:00PM

Me and Tony are sitting here doing

an experiment. He has an electrical tester.

You're supposed to put the end of it to

a wire and if the wire has electric current it will beep like

crazy and won't beep if no electrical current.

Here's a scary thought, and I don't know why it

does it for only me as we tested the kids also,

when my hands are off the computer or mouse

the electrical tester does not beep when he puts

it to my shirt BUT when I touch the mouse or

lap tap and he touches my shirt it beeps like

crazy which says their is a small electrical current

running through my body from the computer!!

How do I know it's the computer setting it off

by only touching the tester to my shirt,

I kept removing my hand from the mouse

and it would beep only when touching the mouse,

not beep when I let go, then beep again when

touching the mouse again.

So think about that next time

you are on your computer and

what may be entering your body.

So maybe there is some truth behind

those stories told about cell phones

and them possibly be cancerous.

Scary thought!

Looking at my mouse and computer

a lil differently now!

No, I don't feel an shock from my computer

or tingling hands.



---------------------------------------


This next group of photos I will
leave at the bottom of the blog since
it is so long.
Any new posting for today will
be listed above these.

Stopped in Walmart yesterday
once we got into Logan.
We had to find a gift bag large
enough for the crock pot we got.
Check out what is parked
in a parking spot and tied
to the light pole!


The rain held off long enough for the wedding
to take place out doors, yeah.
But it rained during the reception
and for the drive home.

Me and Tony yesterday.
.
..

View of the backside of the lodge where
the reception took place.
The area we took the picture from
was a gazebo and deck.
There was an additional deck
off the lodge to the left of the photo.
.The lodge sat atop a hill
and there were many steps that
went to the bottom of a hill
where there was a field and stream.
All guests and wedding parties
had to go down these steps!
.
The field where the wedding took place.
.
.

The groom awaiting his bride.
.
The bride and groom lighting
remembrance candles
and combining unity sand.
I think it's something like
liking a unity candle.
.
Gotta love the zoom on my camera.
You'd of thought I was standing right
next to the bride when she was getting married
but was sitting about 3 rows back.
.

Her name was Sarah.



The groom's name was Randy.
He is a coworker of Tony's
and a friend of ours.
Now married and walking across the field.
.
Everyone who attended the wedding
was asked to walk over to the stream
and gather on the bridge for a photo.
Here is a picture of the bridge.
This view was from the gazebo
atop the hill.
.
Everyone trucking back up the steps
back to the Lodge for the reception.
Handicapped and elderly guests
got a lift by way of a golf cart or car
that drove around to the bottom to
take them back up.
.
The wedding cake.
.
The reception area.
.
.Other coworkers at our table.
Another maintenance man
and his wife.
.

The lady on the right works
in the office at Tony's work.
Not a good photo, lol.
We were playing a game with our
cameras taking pictures when others
didn't know it then passing the camera
around the table to laugh at them.
And this was one of them photos
where I caught them off guard, lol.
.
The bride and groom at the head table.
.
The cutting of the cake.
.
After this, photos were hard to get.
They had about 3 photographers
a camera man and family taking their
own photos.
So crowds gathered around
for feeding of the cake, dances, garter toss
and flower toss.
I gave up and put the camera away.

The video person went around
to each table asking everyone
to say something to the bride and groom.

Dinner was:
Marinated chicken with mushrooms,
Prime Rib,
Rolls, steamed green beans,
mashed potatoes, salad, rolls.
Served with beer, wine and pop.

Then there was appetizers
like an assortment of cheeses,
vegetables, truffles, cookies,
& chocolates.

The drive home wasn't fun at all!
Pitch black country side
with rain, newly paved blacktop roads
that reflected every light like a mirror,
fog, twists, turns & hills in the road,
and wipers that were really crappy!

We were so tired and I was achy
by the time we got home.
Any smoke breaks at the reception
were outside under a tent
(where the bar was)
and it was cold and rainy.
Once home I couldn't wait to get out
of my dressy clothes and into pj's and crawl into
bed with an electric blanket, ah!
We had left for Logan around noon
and got back at 9:00pm.

7:35AM

Sitting here looking at next
week's ad for Walgreens.
What is the difference between
a BIG roll of TP
and a DOUBLE roll of TP???

Here's some of the deals at Walgreens next week.

at the moment but figured I'd
jot down a few things of interest
so I can check them later on.

Coupons?

--------------------------

Going to garage sales this morning.
Don't know when I'll have time to
do coupon match ups, maybe Sunday
or Monday.
Pretty busy at the moment til then!

_______________

12:30PM

I am getting flustered.
Between yard sales and thrift stores
I have found no other outfit to wear to this wedding.
I guess I'll just hem up this one gray dress
and wear it, BUT not take off the sweater
because the dress is sleeveless and I don't
have the arms for sleeveless things!!
Maybe I could somehow take it in
on the sides also.
I don't know.
You'd think this was my wedding with
the way I'm running around here
trying to get ready for it freaking out!!

I did find a nice crock pot at a church sale,
nicer than mine and I want to keep it sooo bad,
for the wedding. It's a Rival Smart-Pot.
Paid $5.00 for it and it's in it's original box.
Found a new one on Ebay for $54!
I'll get photos later on.

I got other things also but everything is
at moms at the moment.
(trying to remember what I got)

bootie slippers $1
(I think I have a pair just like these
but they are wearing out. Use them
to do laundry in basement in the Winter time
because the floor and basement are cold)

fleece jacket $1
(I love my sweaters to wear around the house
or on a Fall day like today!

foam mattress topper for Jonathan's bed $1

New package of panty hose .50 cents
(need this to go with my dress!)

Taste of Home magazines 7 for .70 cents

Hair gel .25 cents
(need to tame my fly aways!)

And I don't remember what else there was
til later on this afternoon.

Oh I also stopped in Speedway this morning
and got me a 20 oz. pop and 2 butterfingers snackers
for $1.59. I'm assuming they are still free
with the coupon!

------------------------------------

Hip2Save

Go here to score a FREE Sample of Vaseline Intensive Rescue Lotion! You do NOT need to be a Sam’s Club member to snag this freebie..

---------------------------

Can you believe it, I'm running around
like a chicken with it's head cut off
and here comes my sales ads for the week
when I have no time at the moment to go through them!
Any other time I sit and wait and wait for them
and they finally show up sometime Sunday afternoon.
GRRRRR!!

I didn't get a nap this afternoon and are
feeling the effects.
I was working on my dress for tomorrow.
I took it from floor length to
knee length!!

Anyone ever invites me to any major events
and only gives me a week's notice,
you better have ear plugs!
This wedding alone has stressed
me out in a week's time.
I thought it was a little disrespectful
to give us (& other coworkers) only a week to prepare for this
while I'm sure other family members
had about a month or so!

Here are the gifts I got for the wedding:

Slow Cooker $5.00
Silver Plated Candle & Flower Holder $2.00
..

Well my sales ad bag was calling out
to me so I just briefly looked inside.
SUCKY, SUCKY, SUCKY!

Meijers has most of their brand names on sale
and Kroger has buy 10 items and
get it for a sale price.
I hate when they do this!!

Don't feel like cooking tonight
so it's gonna be a trip to Taco Bell
for something off the $2.00 meal deals.

I wish it was about 12PM tomorrow already!
Just so the planning and getting ready for the wedding can
be over with!
Me and Tony NEVER EVER get time to ourselves
so to be able to attend a fancy wedding
just the two of us is gonna be different.
Do you know about the only time me and Tony
get some alone time together is to go
Christmas shopping for 1 day!!
That's the only time I ask mom to babysit
unless of course someone is hospitalized
and we visit them.
Those to me aren't really times
of alone time to be with one another,
to go out to dinner, to go to a movie,
to talk a romantic walk.


You know what has me shaking my head though?
This couple has spent $30,000 on this wedding!!
And no that didn't include the $12,000 ring!!
Better be some damn good eats at that price tag!!
LOL!!

Now I have to figure out how to get my housework
for the weekend done in one day. Sunday!
There's no rest for the weary!

Needed a little break so sat
down an did another $3.00 survey.

-----------------------------

5:55PM

Just got done with my dress.
Here is a pic of it now.
I won't be wearing the white shirt
as I just tried it on over my clothes.
This was not an easy dress to shorten
as the skirt part didn't go straight down
instead it went into a bell shape.
Oh and I also removed the shoulder
pads from the sweater.

BEFORE
..
AFTER
.
--------------------------------

7:40PM

Another survey done.
Now up to $35.50.
Some days are better than others
with getting surveys to do.
While other days I could start a survey
then have it tell me I don't qualify for it.

--------------------------

Got the camera on charge and deleted
pics off camera card to get ready
for tomorrow.
All I need to do now
is mapquest some directions
and take a HOT bath to soak
away all the aches and pains
in my legs and back.

I'll have to remember to take along
some scissors tomorrow.
Will have to stop somewhere to
get some gift wrap & tape and wrap up
this crock pot along the way, LOL.

About Me

My photo
My name is Sherry, 39yrs old, from Columbus, Ohio. I am married, a SAHM, and have 3 children ages 9, 10 and 20. I have been frugal/thrifty all my life. I would like to share on this blog how we get by day to day on one income with a family of 5 with a dog and a cat. You will also hear about my everyday gripes about daily life and the cost of living. Hubby says my favorite saying is, "and that is another thing that pisses me off!"
