Giant Eagle GetGo FoodPerks! are Here!
What is foodperks!™?
foodperks!™ is a program much like fuelperks!®, except it allows you to earn discounts on grocery purchases at Giant Eagle® by pumping gas at GetGo®. For every 10 gallons of fuel you pump, you earn a 1% discount on a future visit to Giant Eagle®!
10 gallons = 1% Off
20 gallons = 2% Off
50 gallons = 5% Off
Do I earn foodperks!™ even when I’m using my fuelperks!®?
Yes. All pumped gallons qualify toward foodperks!™ discounts, including gallons you pump with your fuelperks!® discounts.
Is the fuelperks!® program going away?
Not at all. In fact, by combining your foodperks!™ and fuelperks!® discounts, you can maximize your savings on both fuel and food.
What if I pump fewer (or more) than 10 gallons at a time?
Every ounce of fuel you pump counts. When you pump fuel in an amount less than 10 gallons, this amount is counted toward discounts earned the next time you pump fuel. If you pump more than 10 gallons, but fewer than 20, you will immediately earn your 1% discount, and the balance will be held over toward your next fill-up.
How do I keep track of my foodperks!™ discounts?
We keep track for you. Like fuelperks!®, you can find how much of a foodperks!™ discount you’ve earned and how many gallons you have pumped toward your next discount on your participating Giant Eagle® or GetGo® receipt.
How long do I have to use my foodperks!™?
Your discounts expire three months after the last day of the month in which they are earned (for example, discounts earned in February 2010 expire on May 31, 2010). Your receipt tells you if any of your discounts expire at the end of the current month.
How do I use my foodperks!™ discounts?
When you check out at Giant Eagle®, Giant Eagle Express® or Market District®, you’ll be asked if you want to use your foodperks!™ or save them for a future visit. If you choose to use your foodperks!™, your discount will be calculated after all other reductions (coupons, Giant Eagle Advantage Card® discounts, etc.) are made.
Are there limits to using my discounts?
Your maximum redeemable discount is 20%. Discounts may only be redeemed on any single transaction totaling no more than $300 in qualified items after coupons and Giant Eagle Advantage Card® discounts are applied. Any remaining percentage in excess of 20% may be used on a future shopping trip. The larger your shopping order, the more you save. foodperks!™ discounts cannot be applied toward the purchase of gift cards.
Can I give my discounts away?
You cannot transfer foodperks!™ discounts to another Giant Eagle Advantage Card® account.

$1 Flip Flops at Old Navy - May 22
Tomorrow's the day, its $1 Flip Flop day at Old Navy! Who can pass up $1 flip flops? I certainly cannot. We are going to Thomas the Tank Engine in the morning so I hope I can still snag some after lunch! Limit 5 per customer!
Dirty Laundry?
So a husband and two little boys seem to make A LOT of laundry. I tend to do most of my laundry on the weekend, but I also do a load here and there during the week if necessary. Especially since my 17 month old has 2 favorite little blankies (actually they are old burp clothes) that he keeps near and dear at all times. These can become a bit dirty and smelly and need a mid week wash!
We live in a colonial with all the bedrooms on the second floor. I thank the builder of this house often since he was kind enough to put the laundry room on the first floor and not in the basement. One flight of stairs with laundry and often a child in the other arm is torture enough on a Mom! We have had this laundry sorting system in place for about a year now and it works great. I bought 3 hampers for our closet. They were relatively inexpensive each under $10 a piece at Target. The point is that the laundry gets sorted now so it is quicker to grab a bin and go to the laundry room with it.
In our 3 bins we separate by whites, colors, and delicates. We also have an additional hamper in the bathroom for towels and then there is one in the baby’s room for all of his clothes. It makes it really easy once a hamper is filled to just take it down stairs and dump it in the washer to wash already sorted! However my one rule is that if an article of clothing has a stain on it, it goes directly to the laundry room so that I can pretreat it that night. I must say I love my Shout! Boys get all kinds of stains from spaghetti to grass!
This method works great for us, how about you?

My Most Tender BBQ Ribs with Sweet & Sassy BBQ Sauce
Ingredients:
2 slabs of pork baby back ribs
Lemon pepper
Parsley
Directions:
Places ribs in a large baking pan. Season the ribs on both sides with lemon pepper and parsley. Do not use salt, this close the pores. Add about an inch of water to the pan and cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 for 3 hours. Remove ribs from pan and place on grill. Baste with Sweet and Sassy BBQ sauce cooking about 10 minutes on each side. Enjoy!
Sweet & Sassy BBQ Sauce
Ingredients:
3 tbsp butter
1 medium onion finely chopped
¼ cup vinegar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup ketchup
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp dried mustard
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
¾ cup water
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp paprika
¼ tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp crushed dried red chili pepper
Directions:
Melt butter in sauce pan; add onion and sauté until tender. Add remaining ingredients and cook over low hear for 20 minutes stirring occasionally. Do not boil, makes 2 cups. I often double the recipe and freeze half in a Ziploc bag once cooled, saves time next time you make ribs!

Happy Mother's Day!
I thank God everyday for these most precious gifts. I know there are days I would rather be something else than Mom, but in the end, I never want to be anywhere else but at home with my boys! They grow up way to fast and sometimes I would like to freeze time, but then the next day something new and exicting happens with them.
When you have kids, you get to be a kid again. You get to experience everything else through your children's eyes. Who knew that I would be excited about going to the playground, the zoo, or to the Mall for lunch! I see how much the little things matter to them and in the end they just want to spend time with Mom and I LOVE to spend time with them and sometimes wish other responsibilities don't get in the way of this precious time.
I pray for women who desperately want to share in the journey of motherhood, that the Lord may bless you with a child of your own. Children are the most precious gift from God and I believe that everyone who wants to be a Mom should be able to be Mom!

My Coupon Organization Method
I made my own separators by cutting up old file folders and then I printed out the labels on file folder labels. My coupon categories are as follows:
Air Fresheners
Baby Diapers/Wipes
Baby Food
Baby Toiletries/Misc
Bags/Wraps
Baking Products
Batteries/Light Bulbs
Beverages
Body Washes/Lotions
Bread
Breakfast Food
Canned Goods
Cleaners
Cleaners – Kitchen Soaps
Condiments
Dairy Products
Deodorants
Department Stores
First Aid Products
Frozen Food
Hair Products
Health & Beauty Products
Laundry Products
Meat
Mexican
Misc
Office Supplies
Paper Products
Pasta
Produce
Rebates
Restaurants
Rice/Potatoes/Helpers
Salad Dressings
Sauces
Seasonings
Shaving Products
Snacks
Spreads
Toothpaste/Toothbrushes
Now in my container, after I clip coupons I just leave them in the front to file. I also try to keep my rebate submission forms in the section labeled “rebates”. These categories work for my family, but you can create your own categories more tailored to your needs. I know there are a few I have had to modify.
My other method that I use is the store envelope method. I have an envelope in my purse labeled for the following stores for my weekly trips:
CVS
Walgreens
Rite Aid
Giant Eagle (GE)
Target
Marc’s
When I cut my coupons and plan my trips, I will put my list and all the needed coupons in each envelope. I also keep my Extra Care Bucks (ECB’s) in my CVS envelope, my Register Rewards (RR) in my Walgreens envelope, and my Target and GE store specific coupons in their respective envelopes. When I make my trips I only take in my envelope for that particular store. Now for Giant Eagle I usually have a larger list and hence more coupons, I will also sometimes take in my organizer just in case I find something that I may have a coupon for in my box.
Recently I have been experimenting with the whole insert method. I get double inserts because my Mom gives me her inserts. I am now only clipping one of the inserts of the coupons I know I will use, I then save the other inserts in case I need them. If I know a coupon was in the 4/25 Smart Source, I can easily pull that one out and clip it right there.
Check out how Money Saving Mom organizes here coupon over here, her method is very similar to mine.

Make Your Own Foamy Handsoap
Using this recipe on Cutting Coupons in KC I found out that I could make my own foamy handsoap for almost nothing! We had just finished the container of Bath & Body Works, so I made my own using Dawn Hand Renewal in the Bath & Body Works dispenser. The best part is I just got 4 of these FREE from CVS with $1 off coupons! I told NO ONE in my house and the new soap has been in use for over a week and no one has noticed a change, not even me!
So I figured out that we used one of these about every 3 weeks. I normally buy these for 3 for $10, so over the course of the year, I will save over $57, sorry Bath & Body Works! I just may replace all my soaps with this recipe!

Right now on the Dr. Scholl's for Her facebook page you can get a free insole when you click on the Free Insole tab! I just got mine!
Freebies in the Mail!
This was too good to be true! I got my free sample pack from Sample Showcase today! What a great package! My favorite was the Grill Mates, Aveeno, and Secret Samples! The only bad part was it came on an 80 degree day and my Dove chocolate bar was all melted. I put it in the freezer, we will see if it is still good. Definitely pays off to sign up for freebies plus my son LOVES to open boxes we get in the mailbox!

Monthly Money Tip – Credit or Debit – Which is Better?
1. You’re Planning to Make a Major Purchase – Credit Cards offer the strongest protection on purchase disputes. If goods or services aren’t delivered as stated, the issuer will battle with the merchant on your behalf. Until the problem is resolved, the charge is suspended with no interest accrues. With a debit card, the money is gone from your account and you have to wrestle with the merchant to get your money back.
2. You’re Buying Gas, Checking in at a Hotel, or Renting a Car – When you debit for those transactions, the merchant figures out the maximum you could spend, and then puts a hold on your bank account for that amount. You cannot access the excess that is frozen until the transaction is finalized which can take up to 48 hours. When checking into a hotel for 3 nights, the merchant may freeze $1000 dollars; however your total bill may only be $600.
3. You Want Big Rewards – Many debit cards now have rewards programs, but they no way compare to the best credit card programs available. Many credit cards offer at least 1% cash back on purchases. If you spend $65 per week at the grocery store, over the course of the year you will spend $3380, but could get $33.80 in cash back rewards.
4. You Don’t Vigilantly Monitor Your Account – If your credit card is stolen, your liability is $50 maximum by law. If your debit card is stolen and money is used, the money is gone and you’ll have to jump through hoops to get it back. In the meantime you could end up spending more by bouncing checks or miss bill payments. If you do not have time to regularly check your bank account activity, use a credit card that way it’s the bank’s money that’s on the line and not yours!
