Freezing Friday!!!

It was 8 degrees here this morning. They said with the wind chill, it felt like 10 below. Good day to get a good fire going and stay home bundled up. With a few layers on and a good fire going, I am able to keep the heat at 62 for most of the day. I usually turn it up when we are getting ready to go upstairs for bath time and then down again afterwards. We all have flannel sheets and lots of blankets to stay nice and warm all night.

Thursday.......

Well, I am home with a sick kid today but I ran out to buy a new Webkinz for DD and I because we are addicted and I got a speeding ticket. I am half tempted to call the officer and argue my case since the limit changes 20 feet from where he got me. BUT.. I will just pay it and learn my lesson UGH! Here is what I found today.....

Tuesday happenings.....

Well, I finished my first knitted scarf. there were a few mistakes but DD loves it and wore it to school today. I may start another one tonight to give my MIL for her birthday along with some home made jewelry that DD is making for her.
I went grocery shopping this morning. There is one thing that I do that helps me save time and money that I wanted to share here. I buy a huge pack of hamburger (the bigger packs are cheaper) and I brown the whole thing right away. I rinse the fat off, put it in freezer bags in meal sizes, let cool on a cooling rack and freeze. I get at least one extra meal out of the pack when I do this. It really saves time for me too. It is so nice to grab an already cooked bag and throw a quick meal together on nights that are busy for us.
Another thing I do is make snack foods instead of buying the little convient prepackaged bags. The little muffins that cost a fortune and only have a few in the box are the perfect example. for less than a dollar you can buy a package and make them in 5 minutes. You have spent much less and get many more muffins! Store them in cheap baggies so the kids can grab a bag and go.

Frugal Friday!!!!

I have heard there will be a ton of coupons in this Sunday's paper. Good week to buy extra's and work on that stockpile/pantry for the new year!!!!
Walmart.com - Olay Definity- free sample
H&S on TeenFX.com - Free Sample Registration Page. - free sample. My DH insists on this shampoo and it is not cheap like my suave! I grab every free sample I can!! LOL I tried the store brands but he says they are not the same. Maybe I should pour the store brand into the regular bottle and see how he likes it then!! LOL

Special K Protein Water. I haven't even seen it yet, but there will be a coupon for a free bottle in Sunday's paper up to $1.85. Also, watch for stores to have it on sale for $1, and there are blinkie coupons appearing for $1 off = free. Look for it near the protein bars or SlimFast or flavored waters; it may not be in the water aisle. If you can get several free coupons, the best place to redeem them is probably Walgreens next week, since the ESC #41 offers a $3 rebate when you buy $10 in Special K products. Limit 2 on the rebate. I borrowed this from Refund Cents website.
