It is hard to tell but this picture is actually 12 free Barilla pasta coupon, 12 free Barilla sauce coupons and a $5.00 off Glucerna cereal coupon. I think we will have free spaghetti for a while!! The pasta ans sauce coupons came from a 1/2 hour survey I posted a few weeks ago. It was lengthy but well worth it in my mind!!

My Garden......

Here are pictures of my garden.........Look at all the little green grape tomatoes. I think there is a hundred hanging on this plant. This plant is actually in a pot on my deck.

Here are some gree tomatoes hanging in the garden. I am anxious for these to turn red. Nothing tastes better than a home grown ripe tomato!!

This tomato plant is at least 4 feet tall. I think the mushroom soil we brought in made everything so big this year. We did not even use miracle grow this year! You can see some corn behind this plant. We have about 16 tomato plants this year.

Here are the red beets. You can see a big beet sticking up on the middle plant. These beets are almost ready to be pulled.

Here is a nice sized green pepper already. We have about 20 pepper plants this year of several different varieties.

This is the world's largest cabbage plant. I am anxious to make cabbage rolls and cole slaw with this cabbage.

Well, the tubes went great!! After everything we have been through with DS, this was a piece of cake. We were out of the hospital with in 2 1/2 hours.

I am going to take some pictures of out garden today. We brought mushroom soil in this spring and you just would not believe how big everything is. Everyplant is at least double in size! Let's hope the veggies taste good too! The radishes we picked a few weeks ago were the best we ever had, so I ahve to think other veggies will be good too. I will try to post the pictures tomorrow morning.

Feeding your family on a very tight budget.....

I have had weeks where I skipped grocery shopping because money was tight. I have a large freezer that is usually full and a walk in pantry in my basement that is pretty full too. I can survive a week without shopping. I may not be eating what I really want to eat that week BUT, we will not starve. Here is how other families do it......
The 1-Week $45 Dollar Emergency Menu (Feeds 4-6 People) - Healthy Eating - Health - Family Resource - I think this is the most realistic suggestion.
Mary's $20 Monthly Menu - this one is a little outdated on the prices but you still get the basic idea.
$10 Grocery List - again, the prices are out of date but the general concept works. I had to laugh when it says to put $10 gas in your car. How far would that get us today?
Couponing, refunding, and stockpiling will make your money stretch by Mary Kenyon Issue #92 This article is written by a woman that I have admired for many years. Her thoughts are the very similar to mine when it comes to the grocery budget.

Monday.....

Free bug control.......

This will get you 2 free Off! PowerPad Lanterns. First, look for a tear pad of forms (seen in Home Depot, but not store specific) which offer a B1G1F rebate when you buy 2 lanterns. It expires 12/31/07. Use the B1G1F coupon from the Sunday inserts when making the purchase. You pay for one lamp, and get one free. Then send for the rebate, and you'll get the price back for the one you had to pay for. End result = both will be free. The refund is good up to $16.

All My Free Stuff......

I got a ton of free stuff over the last week and a half. Here are some pictures of what I got.

This Raid yellow jacket trap is from www.bzzagent.com. I am part of a word of mouth study for this product. I got stung by a yellow jacket last year near our pool and it hurt bad! My arm got huge! I was very excited to try this product from a company I have depended on for many years. It looks nice hanging up and I think it is working already! I highly recommend this product! Bzz agent is also giving my friends a chance to win $300 in gift cards. Go to http://www.chitchat.neu.edu and use conversation ID: 322079. They will ask you a few questions that take about 5 minutes and you will be entered to win! That simple.
These are the free soda coupons I got at www.mycokerewards.com . We are not drinking soda right now because we are dieting but I will save these for the beach!
Thes are all the other samples I got in the mail. The free underwear are a very funny story. I picked my size not my underwear size. WELL... the underwear could fit an elephant! I will probably save them for the box I donate to a pantry at Christmas time. The other things are dog food, Dove deoderant, a great little manicure kit from www.fivemoms.com , pledge wipes, clorox wipes, Cheer detergent, Fiber sure, 2 golf balls, Nivea for Men sample, Life saver gummies and Life saver fruit tarts and Dove Energy Glow body cream.


These Silly Scented colored pencils by Crayola were bought at Toys R Us with a $3.00 off coupon sent to us from their birthday club. They cost us 29 cents plus tax. They will be saved as a stocking stuffer for Christmas.

Wednesday...

Netwinner update......

It took me exactly 7 weeks and 4,591 clicks to do but I finally qualified for a $25 gift card from Netwinner. I had 10 referrals with 3 of them clicking more than 100 times to help me with points. I did most of my clicking while working from home so it did not take away from anything else. Was it worth it? I think so. $25 extra for very little effort. I chose the Target gift card and will combine it with coupon to make the deal even better. If you want to try.... here is the link...... http://jackpot.netwinner.com/?signupCode=BRSPRI . Good luck and happy clicking!

Surveys.....



One way for me to make a little extra money is filling out surveys. Some survey sites pay in gift cards but this one pays in checks made out to you! You can cash in as soon as you have $10 worth. It really does not take very long to get to that either. You could realistically get several a year. Some of my friends save this extra money to buy Christmas gifts. Go sign up and check it out!
