Menu Planning Monday

January 25, 2009 by


I posted a lot of information about my family and how we plan meals in this initial post.

You can check out my $40 weekly shopping trip for the week here.

Here is my meal plan for this week:

Sunday – Tuesday is my husband’s birthday, but since I have to work, I’m doing the big family dinner tonight. I am also making breakfast, which I rarely do.

For breakfast, I made the Puffed Pancakes recipe that I got from Marci’s blog.

For dinner, I made manicotti, which is my husband’s favorite. I use the one straight from the Barilla website.

I also made this recipe for Basil Garlic Bread, which I got from someone off of a Babycenter cooking board years ago:

Basil-Garlic Bread

Prep: 10 min., Bake: 10 min.

1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 6-ounce Italian bread loaf

Stir together 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Cut a 6-ounce Italian bread loaf in half horizontally; brush cut sides evenly with butter mixture. Wrap loaf in aluminum foil, and bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Yield: Makes 4 servings. (I added some parmesan cheese on top also)

Then, I made cheesecake, which is another one of my husband’s favorites. This recipe is super easy, but good:

Philadelphia 3 step cheesecake
Ingredients:
2 packages (8 ounces each) Philadelphia Cream Cheese (I use the 1/3 less fat and it works fine)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 T fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
1 Honey Maid graham cracker pie crust

Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Stir in fresh lemon juice and grated lemon peel. Pour into crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool and refrigerate 3 hours (or overnight). I add a can of cherry pie filling on top.

Monday – Green enchiladas – this is a modified version of a recipe my dad makes

Ingredients:
1 can green enchilada sauce
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can Rotel
3-4 chicken breasts
corn tortillas
monterrey jack cheese

I place the chicken breasts, enchilada sauce, cream of chicken soup, and Rotel in the crockpot on low all day. When I get home, I shred the chicken and add it back to the mixture. Then, you can either do stacked enchiladas (pour some of the mixture on a corn tortilla/add cheese and repeat for as many layers as you would like) or do rolled enchiladas (place some of the mixture in the corn tortilla, roll, and place in a pan….repeat 9 times…then, pour the remaining sauce mixture over the top and top with cheese and bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes).

Tuesday – Mix in a Blender cheese souffle – this is a recipe from my mother in law and is one of my husband’s favorite. Since tonight is his “actual” birthday, that’s what we’re having! We have yummy sourdough bread with it.

Ingredients:
1 T butter (softened)
6 eggs
1/2 c. heavy cream
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp prepared mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 lb cheddar cheese (sharp)
11 oz cream cheese

Butter souffle dish. In blender, combine eggs, parmesan, mustard, salt & pepper. Whirl until smooth. Cut the cheddar cheese into pieces. Add piece by piece to mixture in blender. Do the same with the cream cheese. Pour mixture into the buttered souffle dish. Bake at 375 degrees for one hour. (If souffle is prepared ahead and refrigerated, add about 5 minutes to the baking time)

Wednesday – French dip sandwiches (slow cooker)

Thursday – Creamy bacon ranch chicken (slow cooker)

Friday – Ravioli (slow cooker)

Saturday – Lemon Chicken Puff – this is from Marci’s blog and has become a family favorite!

Deals for the week all in one spot!

January 25, 2009 by
I know that my blog can get overwhelming (at least this is what I’ve been told), especially if you are new, so I thought I’d post some of the deals for the week all in one spot:

CVS – You can find the weekly ad/coupon match ups here, the monthly deal coupon match ups here, and my weekly scenarios here.

Diapers.com – You can still get great deals on diapers without ever leaving your house! Check out all the details here.

Gap – Today is the last day of the 30% off sale. Take an extra 30% off new arrivals and get free shipping when you spend $150 or more when you enter the code SPRING at check-out. Get 3% cash back when you shop through Ebates.

Kohls – Save an extra 20-40% off selected Food Network cookware. Shop their three day specials in store (Through Tuesday) and their four day specials online (through Wednesday): 70% off selected winter coats for women, 50% off Urban Pipeline tops and jeans for boys, 60% off selected fine jewelery, 15% off entire stock of Kitchen Aid stand mixers. They are also having their Gold Star clearance where you can save 60-80% off original prices. The BEST part is that they are offering .99 shipping (if you’ve ever shopped at Kohls.com, you know that shipping can be killer sometimes!) Get an extra 4% cash back when you shop through Ebates.

Kroger – The Mega sale will reportedly continue for another week! You can access the match ups here and my scenario from my first trip here. If you want to order coupons to match up with some of the deals, I totally recommend The Coupon Clippers. Turn around time is fast and the prices are reasonable.

Old Navy – Today is the last day of the 30% off sale. Take an extra 30% off new arrivals and get free shipping when you spend $150 or more when you enter the code SPRING at check-out.

People have reported finding the Sit ‘n Stand stroller for $32. Children’s clothing is also on clearance for 30-50% off. Some areas are reporting that their stores have already started clearancing the “value packs” (at my store, these were back in the area were the seasonal decor is usually)

The Children’s Place – If you haven’t taken advantange of their great clearance sale yet, it’s not too late! Their “Monster Sale” is still going on. Take an additional 50% off already reduced clearance items. Get 3% cash back when you shop through Ebates.

Walgreens – I have had a hard time getting into the Walgreens deals lately. I spent all of my RR and am waiting for my rebate gift card. I hate spending money OOP! Becky has some great coupon match-ups on her blog. There are some decent deals this week, but the only thing I really see myself doing is this because we need a refill anyway:

Printer Cartridge Refill – $5.00
-$5.00 MIR (from the Easysaver catalog)
= FREE

FREEBIES AND OTHER “NOTEWORTHY” THINGS:

Free Bath and Body Works – The details and printable coupon are here.

Scenario Sunday: CVS scenarios for the week of 1/25

January 25, 2009 by

I’m posting this early for people who like to shop early! 🙂

My coupon match-ups for the week are here. My coupon match-ups for the month are here and my scenarios for the monthly deals are here.

Don’t forget to check out my $15 CVS gift card giveaway!

Here are some scenarios for “newbies” with little or no ECB to start with:
Spend $7.48 OOP, get $19.98 in merchandise (walk away with a $2 ECB for next time)

Transaction #1:
Buy Gillette shampoo – $4.99
Use $2 coupon

Spend $2.99, get $3 ECB

Transaction #2:
Buy Gillette Fusion – $7.99
Use $4 manufacturer’s coupon
Use $3 ECB from shampoo

Total OOP = .99, get $4 ECB

Transaction #3:
Buy 2 Wisk laundry detergent – 2/$9
Use $1.50/2 coupon
Use $4 ECB

Spend $3.50 OOP, get $2 ECB

Scenarios if you have a $5/15 CRT (always scan your card before you start shopping!) – These will also work if you have a $3/15 CRT (you just spend $2 more OOP!)

Scenario #1:
Buy 3 Wyeth Products (3 Robitussin, 3 Dimetapp, 3 Advil or mix and match)
Use 3 $2 off printables
Use $5/15 CRT

Total before coupons = $15
Spend $4, get a $5 ECB

Scenario #2:
Buy 1 Fusion razor – $7.99
Use $4 manufacturer’s coupon
Buy 2 Gillette shampoos – $4.99
use 2 $2 Gillette coupon
use $5/15 CRT

Total before coupons = $17.97
Spend $4.97, get $10 ECB

Scenario #3:
Buy 2 packages Energizer batteries ($12 for both)
use 2 $1 Energizer coupons
Buy 1 Gillette shampoo – $4.99
use $2 Gillette coupon
use $5/15 CRT

Total before coupons = $16.99
Spend $7.99, get $7 ECB

Scenario #4:
Buy 4 12 packs Pepsi – $16.67
Buy 3 bags Lays potato chips – $6
Buy 1 Pepsi 2 liter (or Gatorade/Sobe Life water/Propel) – $1.25
Total before coupons – $20.58

Use $5/15
Spend $15.58, get $10 ECB (don’t forget to send off for the MIR here)

**If you usually shop “early” (on Saturdays) and you’ve already done the Pepsi deal, I would wait until next week to do this deal. I have a feeling there will be some computer glitches with pricing (the prices are different on 12 packs and chips between the two weeks) and with the computer thinking you’ve already done the deal for the week.

My Scenario: (I will do this all in one transaction)
$52.96 in merchandise for free! (walk away with $17 ECB)

Buy 2 Huggies Pull Ups – $10/each
Use 2 $2 off Pull Ups coupons
Buy 3 Advil Cold & Sinus – $5/each
Use 3 $2 Advil printable coupons
Use $1 CVS CRT
Buy Gillette Fusion Razor – $7.99
Use $4 Gillette manufacturer’s coupon
Buy Gillette shampoo – $4.99
Use $2 manufacturer’s coupon
Buy 2 Pepperidge Farm Goldfish – $1.99 (BOGO free)
use $1 manufacturer’s coupon
Buy 2 CVS tissues – on sale 2/$1

Total before coupons = $50.97
Use $10/50 CVS CRT (be sure to scan your card!)

Total after coupons = $22.97 (Pay w/ ECB), earn $17 ECB
(I will also get back $1.50 in rebates from Caregivers)

**JUST AN FYI – Apparently the “Fusion Gamer” won’t be available in stores until 1/30. I was hoping some of the other Fusion razors would work for the deal, but I scanned them while I was there today and they aren’t!

Savings Saturday: My $40 weekly budget

January 24, 2009 by

Even though it was a “short” week for me because I didn’t have to work on Monday, it still seems like it took forever to get to the weekend and now that the weekend is here, it’s flying by way too fast!

I always like to add a little disclaimer before I post this. I am able to “make it” on a $40 weekly budget because I have been couponing for a long time and my garage looks like it could double as a grocery store thanks to my stockpile. I am also blessed to have several grocery stores that double and triple coupons regularly and I don’t have any family members with allergies or dietary restrictions. If you aren’t able to make it on $40/week, don’t feel bad or pressured. My goal is just to help you find ways that you can save money. Challenge yourself to do better, even if it’s just cutting your grocery bill by $10 a week (that will give you $40 extra each month!)

Here’s a summary of my shopping trips for the day!


Target: Total OOP = $0 (spent $3.33 on a gift card). The Ocean Spray juice was “free” using the $1 Target printable and the $1 manufacturer’s printable. Details and links to the coupons are here. The Pop Tarts are on Price Cut for $1.67 right now. There are $1 off peelie coupons on some of the boxes making them .67/box!

Kroger: Total OOP = $49.28 (the total for all of these items before coupons would have been $142.63!) – Technically I am over budget for the week, but I had $10.05 left from last week that I never spent, so I am applying that toward my grocery allowance for this week. Here’s what I got: 3 packages of Cottonelle TP, 3 boxes of Kleenex, 1 bag of dog treats, 9 bags of shredded cheese, 1 bag of pizza rolls, 1 graham cracker crust, 1 bottle of Juicy Juice, 3 containers of Daisy Sour cream, 1 container of Ricotta cheese, 1 box of Carnation Instant Breakfast, 2 bottles of mustard, 1 bottle of Cattleman’s BBQ sauce, 2 bags of Green Giant steamers, 1 bag of frozen ravioli, 2 bags of bread, 2 gallons of milk, 1 box of eggs, 1 loaf of french bread, 2 boxes of Rice a Roni, 2 packages of Fast Fixin’ chicken strips, 2 packages of Goldfish, 2 boxes of cream cheese, 1 bottle of Kens salad dressing, 1 can of Rotel, 1 package of corn tortillas, 2 packages of Pilgrims Pride chicken breasts, 2 loaves of Sara Lee bread. There are way too many coupons to list, but you will find most of them included in my scenario that I posted here.

CVS: Total OOP = $0 (used $10/50 CRT, 2 $1.50 Huggies coupons, $1.50/2 Wisk coupon, $2 Gillette coupon, 3 $2 Advil printables, $1 Advil CRT, $2 St. Ives printable, $1 Johnsons Buddies coupon, and a $27 ECB adjusted down), earned $15 ECB…I burned more ECB than I had planned because they did not have the Gillette Fusion razor I had planned on buying and for some reason I thought the Wisk was 2/$7 when it is actually 2/$9. The Wisk detergent was a quick alternative that was around the same price, I had a coupon for it, and it’s something that I will actually use. (The moral of the story is….always have a back up plan when you shop at CVS) My CVS scenarios for this week can be found here.

I thought I would share this picture also. I found all of these in the $1 spot at Target. If you’re new to couponing or just looking for a way to organize your coupons, here are a few possibilities. I am planning a post on coupon organization soon. I love the accordian style holder. That is what I use to organize my coupons for all of my weekly trips. I have a section for each of the stores I shop at most often (Kroger, CVS, Walgreens, Target, and Randalls) and put all of my coupons/scenarios in each section when I go out to do my weekly trips. I also have a coupon binder where I keep all of my coupons. I loved these dividers because they are a lot more sturdy than the ones I am currently using. I use baseball card holders in each section to hold my coupons.

Here are my updated savings totals: (if you’re new to my blog and not familiar with my savings goals, click here)
Baby Emergency fund – 748.92 (Goal = $1000) – I got my $50 “bonus” from opening an ING Orange checking account. I posted about this here. They are still offering this promotion, so if you haven’t taken advantage of it yet, you should definitely check it out! They also give you a $25 bonus if you open a savings account with a balance of $250 and are referred by a current member, so if you are interested in that, e-mail me (my e-mail is in the upper left hand corner of the blog) and let me know.

Gift savings – $132.42 (Goal = $1500)
Rolling entertainment fund – $0 (Goal = $500)

Here’s how much I have saved at individual stores:
Total Target savings – $139.27to date (45% savings)
Total CVS savings – $272.75 (84% savings…this would probably be higher, but I do buy my stamps there to go toward my quarterly ECB earnings and you can’t use ECBs to pay for those!)
Total Kroger savings – $110.86(53% savings)
Total Randalls savings – $39.47 (100% savings) – I have paid for everything here with gift cards/coupons so far this year

**If you’re looking for spreadsheets to help you track your savings, there are some good ones here on the Mommy Snacks blog

Question of the Week: What do you do when you don’t have anymore money left for the week in your budget, but there is a great sale going on?

I thought this was a great question! In the past, I have always budgeted a certain amount per month, and this is really my first time doing a weekly budget. When I was doing a monthly budget, I could float money from one week to the next so that I had money when good sales came along, which is basically what I did this week. Now, I also keep a separate savings for “stockpiling” and I can always dip into that, too, if a good sale comes along!
