Ok, had an awesome Thanksgiving with my husbands family....SOOOO excited about some new babies we have, and some new babies coming!! One of the most thankful things you can have, babies:)
Here is a GREAT money saving idea to use some of the great cereal deals we have gotten lately, and to make an extra special gift for teachers, Sunday School teachers,the mail lady (we always give a treat to our mail lady.)
Rice Krispy treats....use can use cheerios instead, if you have some that are just sitting there....The point is USE what you have....
CornFlake Candy (orig. Wendy given to me by Stacy)
1 cup Karo syrup
12 oz. peanut butter (we have gotten on sale awhile back)
1 cup sugar
melt in a pot
pour in 6 cups cornflakes (I have used Publix Raisin Bran that we got for .49, it turned out good)
drop by spoonfuls let stiffen up
package in pretty cellophane treat bags ($Tree)
get creative
If you have a ton of Microwave popcorn in your stockpile...either make popcorn balls to give, or just put unpopped popcorn in a treat bag with some candy from the $ Tree or stockpile attach it to a 2 ltr. bottle of soda and give as a "Family Night together" treat...shop your stockpile when you are coming up with gift ideas....

Ok this is not really a coupon deal...but it is a money saving idea
For Christmas wrapping, use some of those newspapers we buy each week. Let the kids decorate, or stamp designs on it....if you are wrapping clothes, protect them by putting them
Inside a plastics grocery sack first .....or tissue paper if you come up on a great deal... But it is a way to save $ , get the children
Creative, and recycle

Free Sunglasses Sears
FREE SUNGLASSES LINK HERE
I saw this deal and wanted to post here in case you don't get Hip2Save....Thanks Collin for posting and doing all you do....I am excited to go get me some "SHADES" as they say :), I am going to do something kind of selfish, but helpful also....I am going to use the coupon to get me a pair (PRESCRIPTION ONES ARE NOT FREE, You have to get NONPERSCRIPTION ), but I am going to save them and let them be a Christmas present from my family...so they have "gotten" me a gift :)
They still have to do my "nice" things though....there are no coupons to get out of that.....At Christmas, we draw names...you buy, or make something for that person....you also have to do "nice" things for that person for a week without telling them who did it....Christmas you tell when you give your gift.....
I have be blessed over the course of years by, having my bed made every morning (bless their heart, it was 2 days before I realized someone had been "unmaking" and remaking my bed...it is the first thing I do when I get up...I caught on the third day and left it so they could make it), to having the dishes unloaded without asking.....think of ways you could bless someone in your family with a "random act of Christmas Blessing"
Anyway...I will probably, hopefully, get my "shades" soon, when I do I will post a picture...it will have to be on face book . I still can't figure out this blogging posting video picture stuff....(I can only do pictures with Brian's IPod:)

Chapstick. .49 cents !!whoo hoo
I checked the single tubes of chapstick at Publix today... Some are only $1.49....look in the Green advantage ad there is a $1.00 off ANY chapstick!!! It makes them .49 cents each!!! I got two and I am planning on getting a few more of these....Bo and now Brian working outside in the sun use these alot. Glad I don't have to pay full price!!!
Publix FOUND DEALS!!
I was in Publix Sat. and checked the price on the Philly Cream Cheese mini 4 ct. they are 4 for $5 I happened to check, we have a .50 off 1 coupon, it will double that means.....25 cents each!! I got 2
Then I cleaned out and was organizing my binder last night, 2 out of 3 kids were gone...good quite time! I found my yogurt coupons and the Yellow advantage ad....Dora the Explorer Yogurt here we come! I am hoping these are the ones on sale it says the 4 pk is $2.00 each we have $2.00 off 2 yellow and then .50/1 should make them FREE...I am getting Mother's q's from her so FREE yogurt! You can FREEZE these in fact mine like them better frozen...YES THE CUPS not just the gogurts....as long as they are not fat free they freeze fine...
Also if you have the CHEERIO NASCAR booklet (I can't remember the name of it)
there is a $1.00 off 2 Green Giant Steamers it should make them .40 each not as good as free but hey....Still a good deal......now if I can just find a freezer on Craigslist or Freecycle.....ours is SLAM FULL OF BEEF.....Ribeye (our steer) went to the processor and he is absolutely FABULOUS...so where am I going to put the veggies??? I have a nack for "cramming it in"...they will fit....they will fit. THESE ARE NOT ON SALE!!!!!
And last but not least the Friendship Sour Cream I used my manny coupons on cottage cheese and we really enjoyed lasagna FINALLY HOMEMADE LASAGNA!!! The kids loved me...
I am going to get some sour cream though ....I had a ton of Breakstone from the last time it was on sale.....ALL GONE NOW....What did I do with it all??? So I am going to break down and get some for .85 each not really a good deal compared to free or .25 each...but I am out and this is for 16 oz..... so I am going to get 2 for sure THE sour cream is priced $2.35
I think those were the only ones that caught my eye that were not really listed yet
Happy Shopping:)

Sorry! I ahve been so long!!! Doing MUCH BETTER!!!!
Wow, I didn't know it had been the end of March since I last posted.....That was about the time I just got blah....and blaher! (TRUE technial terms!!!)
I am doing MUCH BETTER now, after 3 days in ICU and a few more in the hospital....I am home now...and after my check up yesterday....DOING GREAT!!!!! I don't have to go back unless there is a problem until May 20th.....I do have to stay on all the medications (WOW~~~~~ I am on 3 inhalers and 2 steroids!!!!! I am GOING NUTS!!!!!! Bo said that proves I am better...I am crazy again!!!!!)
My mind is going in 10,0000 different directons and no true goal in mind for any of those destinations!!!!! I was told this is what people with true ADHD are like......THANK YOU LORD I am not like this all the time.....and how do those poor people function.......I am used to my mind WORKING LIKE CLOCK WORK!!!! SO until this medication thing calms down.....THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT YOU MIGHT READ!!!!
Poor Brother Darrel probably thinks I am TRULY crazy because I started taking about Ronald Reagan's Bedtime for Bonzo movie (there was a point......right when I brought it up....he had to go......so I know he was like....she is nuts I'm outta here!!!!
But we were talking about how your brain recharges and "studies" itself while you are asleep......The movie was about a chimp that they made listen to records in his sleep and could function and do what it said the next day!!! So see it did relate,,,,just in a Scary way!!!
I was told again I am a SNAPDRAGON!!! 1/2 has snapped and the other 1/2 is draggin!!
Thanks so much for the thoughts and prayers....hopefully I will be back FULL force next week!!!!
Thanks again

Ideas for things to do this weekend!!! FREE!!!!
Hey sorry I have not posted in awhile.....I had a dog bite to my hand...I am fine....but I did not realize how much you use your pinky finger....UNTIL you can't use it!!!
I saw this on the Prattville Things to do calendar!!!
FREE OUTDOOR MOVIE!!! HERE TONIGHT!!!!! They are doing Planet 51
We(Bo, myself, and Carol Beth went to one last year...it was FUN)
We took our lawn chairs,(you can do a blanket also!), picnic, already popped popcorn.....WE DID NOT SPEND ONE DIME and had a blast.....
We went during the summer...I don't know how cold it will be for this one!!!
Just watch where you "set" up....we did have an ant problem!!!! But we just moved and it was solved....GET THERE EARLY!!!!! There was a TON of people when we went (We saw Tale of Despereaux) there were kids playing ball and running on the side field before the movie started...so get there early to get your spot (for a good one) eat your picnic...run and play and then settle in for the movie....
Also there is the air show this weekend FREE and fun if you have never been....we went one time and it was in I think like JUNE (HOT, wow it is hot on an airstrip!)
This is at Maxwell Air Base WAY COOL
Ok I think that's it!
Hopefully I will be "back" to speed next week!

Honey Glazed Chicken
3 lbs. chicken parts (we use what ever we have....DRUMSTICKS )

1/2 c. HONEY
Place chicken in a GREASED 9x13x2 inch pan.....Melt remaining ingredients together..pour over chicken....Bake UNCOVERED 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours (this long bake time allows the sauce to caramelize and glaze the chicken) TURN chicken and baste with juices every 20 min.....serve with rice or pasta

Count Blessings Moment
I know this has NOTHING to do with couponing, saving, any of that.....but
Be grateful for ALL Blessings you have....even the simple everyday routine things....
I need to clean the bathrooms, do laundry, sweep and mop....my normal routine...
I also need to teach my children....
I am SOOOO GRATEFUL to be blessed that I can be home to do all these things...that we have a home for me to clean.....that I am blessed with great children to teach....
I get in "wallowing" moods sometimes.....last night the kids had "Bible Drills" at church....it hit me again how Carol Beth is SOOOOOOO DIFFERENT from others....I got to thinking, again, about how she will probably NEVER "BE" Like everyone else....
It really depressed me to know...she will never "do" prom, never date, never get married, never have children, and even something so simple and "easy" as participating in group activities.....
BUT THEN THE LORD spoke to my heart and told me "yes" she might not do those things....but look at all the things she does do.....She has given me the gift of patience, she has given our whole family the opportunity to learn compassion, she can light up a room when she laughs, she has a talent for art, she LOVES to read....she has gone through a phase of reading Shakespeare!!! She is wonderful with animals...she is willing to help with those routine chores.....She is a TRUE BLESSING...I need that moment with God to remember these things sometimes....
I also need to remember the next time I complain about having to do laundry, or cook a meal, or clean something....how blessed we truly are....there are some people that can't afford any of these "luxuries" in life....the poor people in Haiti...have no house to clean....there are homeless people even here where we are.... I think of this as I get my box to donate for this month together....that tube of toothpaste, stick of deodorant, cans of food, little things we have a "ton" of, can be such a blessing to someone! We will take our box one day next week, Carol Beth will be with me showing me the blessing of her having a "giving heart"....So she is pretty AWESOME!!!

Also I noticed that they have cantelope for .99 cents!!! Publix is $1.97 ( I got mine at Publix, used my $1.00 off produce coupon from the Taco Bell deal..)
But if you have not gone yet, and need to stop by Winn Dixie anyway, you might want to check this out....and get some other produce that you need from Publix with you coupons......I ALWAYS stick with produce that is on sale.....if apples are on sale, we eat apples not bananas....We will eat bananas when ever they come back around on sale.....I know it seems "stupid" to figure it's just a few pennies here and there....but those pennies add up...and when you are counting everyone....IT REALLY ADDS UP...Plus I just can't make myself pay .79lb for bananas that around Christmas I paid .33lb. for.....
They also have alot of meat BOGO if you need it......we are REALLY well stocked in this catagory right now.......Brian had made the comment, if I got anything else that needed to go into a freezer....WE WOULD HAVE TO GET ANOTHER FREEZER!!! So that let's me know we are good to go in that department....
Thanks Jenny at Southern Savers!

Also I noticed that they have cantelope for .99 cents!!! Publix is $1.97 ( I got mine at Publix, used my $1.00 off produce coupon from the Taco Bell deal..)
But if you have not gone yet, and need to stop by Winn Dixie anyway, you might want to check this out....and get some other produce that you need from Publix with you coupons......I ALWAYS stick with produce that is on sale.....if apples are on sale, we eat apples not bananas....We will eat bananas when ever they come back around on sale.....I know it seems "stupid" to figure it's just a few pennies here and there....but those pennies add up...and when you are counting everyone....IT REALLY ADDS UP...Plus I just can't make myself pay .79lb for bananas that around Christmas I paid .33lb. for.....
They also have alot of meat BOGO if you need it......we are REALLY well stocked in this catagory right now.......Brian had made the comment, if I got anything else that needed to go into a freezer....WE WOULD HAVE TO GET ANOTHER FREEZER!!! So that let's me know we are good to go in that department....
Thanks Jenny at Southern Savers!

Publix plans this week, for us
Hey! I am trying to get my list together and coupons rounded up.....
We really don't need much this time....THANK GOODNESS!! Isn't it wonderful when you get to the "DON'T NEED POINT!"
I do see some really great deals we are going to get though
Kingsford Charcoal Matchlight 7.99 for the 12.5 lb.
I have the $2.00 of Kingsford coupon out of the "Race" booklet from Publix
I also have a $2.00 off any meat if you buy Kingsford charcoal that came out of the Smart Source insert....not sure of the date....NOW the regular kind of charcoal is probably cheaper.....but the meat coupon states buy 16lb. bag reg.(which I am not sure of the price....I need to find my best deal) OR 12.5lb. Matchlight.....and that is the kind on sale....
So I will be grabbing some charcoal.....and find SOME form of meat for $2.00....I wonder if my hot dogs would count!!!! I just thought of that...... Oscar Mayer Franks are BOGO!! at $2.99 minus the $2.00 off....thats .99 cents for 2 packs of HOT DOGS!!!! Carol Beth will be in HEAVEN!!!
Also the Taco Bell Dinner kits are BOGO at $2.69 and that Produce coupon I told ya'll about that takes $1.00 off produce if you buy 2 Taco Bell products.....I MIGHT SPLURGE and get a tomato!!! Yes that is singular....HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICE OF TOMATOES!!! Of course I have all those canned ones ....and a TON of Rotel....so I will probably get CANTALOUPE!!! YUMM they are $1.97 each minus my $1.00 coupon so .97 for cantaloupe.....and then some celery .99 so FREE
The Lance crackers are BOGO and the "Race" booklet has a $1/2 coupon will make 2 $1.89 Bo loves the Cheese PB crackers to go in his lunch.....I found out one time he paid $1.23 for 1 pack at a gas station!!!!! I could have rung his neck!!!! so I will get 2 of these....I wish I had another coupon booklet.....I wonder if they have any more........THESE EXPIRE MARCH 20th!!!! But I have found they will take them a few days after expiration........but I am going to go ahead and get them!
Sue Bee honey (can't get that stupid coupon!! so I might not get this)
I might get 1 Pepperidge Farm Cake and 1 Blue Bell ice cream....Becca's Birthday is the 29th of this month....my BABY will be SWEET 16!!!! GOODNESS GRACIOUS I AM OLD
Cottonelle Toilet Paper (we still have 5 12 packs in the "stash" so to speak...but I have $1.00 off man. out of the All You.....and a $2.00 off CVS coupon....so $3.99 for a 12 pack.....works out .33 a roll.....I will go ahead and get this....I am NOT running out of TP and then have to pay full price!!! Been there done that.....we had to get John Wayne toilet paper....You know....Rough and Tough and don't take no stuff off nobody!!! I won't do that again!!!
Thats about it that we need!!! We have cheese, meat, food...snacks.....I am glad to have a SLOW WEEK!!!! I have not seen the Piggly Wiggly ad yet....or Winn Dixie....I will post any GREAT deals I find from there when I get the ad......Bo will bring the paper this afternoon.....

AWESOME DEAL ON WHOLE PORK TENDERLOIN!!!!
BO and I had errands we had to run Sat....we ran in Sam's to get buns and sugar (the few things we still get there.....the sugar works out .50 cents a pound if you get the 50 pound bag, we keep it in a large rubbermaid container....
While we were there we found the WHOLE PORK LOINS..these are the TRUE WHOLE ones they are HUGE!!!...are you ready for this....
$1.87 a pound!!!!!
we got 2.....one for $10.48 and one for $10.63
you cut off the ends (as large as you want your "roast" part) then slice the middle into boneless porkchops!!!
Out of the 2 we bought we got 4 roast and 21 boneless pork chops!!!!
that is 7 MEALS!!! really maybe a few more if I have leftovers from the roast!!!
I put one on in the crockpot yesterday morning so when we came home from church....LUNCH WAS READY!!!
It was SOOOOOO GOOD and tender!!! it just melted in your mouth!!!I was hoping to have some left from this one......THEY PLOWED THROUGH IT!!!! of course we fed 4 TEENAGERS!!! so that will put a dent in some food!!! Well, I guess 3 teens(Carol Beth didn't eat this) and Bo and myself
The last time they had them on sale like this we only bought one....and kicked ourselves for not "stocking" up.....so this time we did buy 2.....I would have gotten more.....but our budget is squeaking this week....
BO had to have work done on his truck....(it wound up a little more than we had planned and had saved for....but we just took some out of the grocery budget and "GOTTERDONE", I am glad too....the guy showed us the part that was replaced....BO COULD HAVE wrecked at any time!!! It was the ball joints on the front????? Sure enough it was BARELY HANGING ON!!! So we got that done just in time and the Lord was looking out for him!!
