Compost

Last week, I showed you all of my recycle bins, including the compost bin. For years, we have been wanting a compost bin. We have looked at models like this but never wanted to put out all that money. Then, just before Christmas, my friend told me there was a woman in our town that was giving away free compost bins through a special program. Turns out, that woman was my daughters teacher!! I emailed her about it and she said we could gladly have one.




So, a few days before Christmas, we brought this FREE compost bin home and began our journey into composting.

I bought this ceramic jar for my kitchen.....


We we have fruit and veggie scraps or old bread, we stick it in this odor free ceramic jar. Every few days, we take it out to dump into the compost bin. I am sure in the summer, we will have to empty it more often.

Once there is a layer of scraps in the bin, we toss an arm full of brown leaves, from the woods, into the bin.

We will not try to compost our grass clipping. We have a mulching blade on the mower and just let the grass lay to compost back into the yard. We are so happy to be keeping our food waste from going to a landfill! Compost is also a gardeners best friend! We are anxious for warmer weather so that we can start using some of the compost that we made!

Disney's Princess and the Frog Deal....

The Princess and the Frog is being released tomorrow! (Tuesday, March 16, 2010). We were in Disney when they were promoting the release of the movie. My DD and I were asked to be part of the Princess and the Frog steamboat show. That was so much fun!! Of course we forgot to take a camera with us but my DH got pictures from where he stood in the crowd. Enjoy the pictures!

I am 5'4". That man next to me had to be 7 feet tall! His elbow was at my shoulder!

Thinking of buying the movie? Here are a few ways to save.....

Get a $10 off coupon here.. Disney Magical Savings – Coupons and Savings on Disney DVDs

Get a $5 rebate here - http://www.frogtape.com/Princess%20and%20the%20Frog/Rebate.aspx

Get another $5 rebate here - BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages

You should be able to do both rebates since there are 2 UPC codes on each DVD. Just purchase the band aids and movie separate so that you have 2 receipts. A photo copy of the movie receipt is acceptable.

It has been reported that Target is offering a Blu-ray DVD/combo pack that includes an exclusive Princess Tiana purse. All for $26.99. After the coupon and rebates from above, the movie and the purse will be $6.99 total! That would make a great Easter gift for only $6.99!

Make the deal better by printing coupons for the band-aids at Target too... Target Coupons

Too much hassle to do all that? Then just order it here

OR... to be even more frugal, you could just wait and borrow it from the library or rent it from Netflix or Redbox.
