Long Time No Post

Life always seems to take over even my best intentions.  Here we are 21 days into January 2012 and I I am so struggling to do everything I want to do.

Couponing, studying for tests I have to pass for work, cleaning house, working full time, paying bills, working on the budget, etc, etc, etc.  It is tough!

I am going to attempt to take better care of this blog.  I won't promise daily posts but I will try for a few times a week.

Here's to a new year and a new start.

Sunday Oregonian Coupons

In today's Oregonian, you will find 2 coupon inserts--1 Smart Source and 1 Red Plum and Albertson's double coupons.

The Smart Source insert has an excellent way to support our Veteran's--go to:

www.believeinheroes.org

and then click on the savings to get coupons from companies that support our veterans.

There are some great high value coupons there--$1.00 off  one bottle of Heinz ketchup, $1.00 off  one package of Ore-Ida potatoes, $1.00 off a 12-roll package of Angel Soft toilet tissue, $1.00 off one bottle of Mott's apple juice, and many more.  Please support our veterans.

Types of Coupons

Cuckoo for Coupon Deals does a great job of explaining different types of coupons and how and where to get them.  Check out her video.  Thanks Cuckoo for Coupon Deals for making this excellent video.

6 Days in...

The pantry living is going well.  Friday the 1st I spent prepping meals for the weekend--baked chicken breasts, spaghetti sauce and chicken parmesan...I worked all weekend so it was important to have meals made for the family.  I also made cinnamon rolls to take in to work.   I also went shopping for fresh produce and dairy products.  I spent $40, using a $25 Albertsons gift card to help pay for the groceries--$15 out of pocket.  I purchased some salads to eat at work as well.  The only things I purchased that weren't "allowed" were some nuts for my husband to eat at work and a bottle of salad dressing.  We ended up not eating formal meals all weekend--everyone was busy and they just grabbed what they could find in the fridge.  Tonight we had the chicken parmesan and the spaghetti.  I had gone to Winco this morning to get some fresh broccoli and more fruit.  I got a honeydew melon, strawberries, grapes, nectarines, bananas, blueberries and apples.  I made blueberry muffins for the kids for breakfast.  I had a bunch of carrots that needed to get used so I grated them up and used some to make a carrot cake and froze the rest to make carrot cake in the future.  I also steamed some of the carrots to go with dinner.  I used the bread machine to make a loaf of french bread--yum!  I grated up abrick of colby-jack cheese and a wedge of paremsan also.

Doing well so far--tomorrow will be another food prep day because I have to work 12 hour shifts on Wednesday and Thursday.
