Happy Father's Day

Everyday I am thankful for the wonderful and inspiring Fathers in my life.  I am lucky to have an amazing Father who raised me to be a strong, confident woman with a great mind.  I married an incredible man who allows me to obtain my goals in life.  As I watch my husband with our two boys, I am amazed at the love he has for them.  I hope my boys grow up to be great Dad's just like their own and their "Papas"!

Happy Father's Day!

Why You Should Wait to Use Your Coupons!

Through my almost year of heavy couponing (that is what I call it), I have learned to hold on and wait! I know I often get a high value coupon for a product I really want to try and all I want to do it buy it now! But I have learned to wait it out because chances are that product will go on sale and it will be an even better deal with my coupon! So why oh why did I break my rule this week?


The May 2010 issue of All You had a coupon for a $1.50 off a Buitoni Complete Meal and I have been eyeing up the Shrimp and Lobster Ravioli as a nice splurge for quite some time. Well the coupon expires 6/30/10 and I was getting nervous! When I went to Giant Eagle on Sunday they had them priced at $9.99 so I took the plunge and bought it. Normally I would NEVER pay that much for a frozen boxed meal for 2, but hey it was a splurge plus with the $1.50 off it brings the price down to $8.49. Now the package of Shrimp and Lobster Ravioli with a Garlic Cream Sauce is proudly sitting in my freezer staring at me every night. I am waiting for the perfect time to make it as a special dinner for just my husband and I. I sure hope it tastes as good as it looks!

Well guess what? I got my Giant Eagle advertisement in the mail and guess what is on sale for $7.99 starting on 6/17/10? Yep – the Buitoni meals! I could have had my splurge for $2 cheaper. Well lesson learned, hold onto the high value coupons and match it with a sale to get an even better deal! Well you can print another coupon from $1.50 off a meal here, so maybe I will have to buy another one like the Grilled Chicken and Spinach Cannelloni!

So tonight we needed a quick dinner and all my son wanted was peanut butter, so I finally opened that box!I HIGHLY recommended this meal as a treat, it was delicious!

Menu Plan Monday – Week of 6/14/10

The last couple of weeks I was on a negative track as far as cooking dinner. It was HOT and I just did not know what to make. Personally, I like grilled food, but I have a limit. So I found some new recipes and now I have a POSITIVE attitude again moving forward, so bring on the menu!

Monday – Spaghetti

Tuesday – Grilled Pork Kebabs with Cucumber Sauce

Wednesday – Hamburgers & Fries

Thursday – Fish Tacos with Avocado Sauce (recipe to follow)

Friday – Pizza Night

Saturday – Eat Out

Sunday – Father’s Day at my Parents

Chicken Breast Divine

Ingredients:
4-6 chicken breasts
4 tbsp butter
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup cream (or I use whole milk)
1 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp dijon mustard

Directions:
Brown chicken breasts in butter then remove skillet.  Add cornstarch to cream or milk then brown in skillet stirring continuously.  Once thickened, add broth and mustard and simmer for 10 minutes.  Add chicken breasts, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.  I like to servce over white or brown rice!

Schwan’s Dine In. Chill Out.

So with 2 working adults sometimes you need a quick meal. But a quick meal could lead to fast food or running out to get something to eat. When I get home from work the last thing that I want to do (or my kids) is to sit in a restaurant. We have found a much cheaper alternative, having some readymade food items in the freezer from Schwan’s. It is definitely A LOT cheaper than eating out and it is A LOT faster than eating out. Some of our favorites include:


Garlic Red Skinned Mashed Potatoes
Turkey Mignon
Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
Tortilla Encrusted Tilapia
And of course, the Ice Cream

My Schwan’s delivery truck comes to my door every other Wednesday. We do not order every time but probably every 2 – 3 times he visits. I also like to pre-order online that way everything I want is on the truck! Right now you can get 20% off orders of $60 or more when you redeem code SV online! Offer is good through July 24, 2010. I always check out the Specials section and normally can find a great deal! There is a $1 delivery fee so I recommend ordering as much as you can in one order!

Groupon

I just tried Groupon and I LOVE it! I just got an Eco-Friendly oil change from Lube for only $18!! The normal price is $37! What a great deal. We already get out oil changes at Lube Stop and use the Eco=Friendly oil so it was a perfect deal for me!


If you haven't signed up for Groupon, it's a really neat site. Each day they email you an amazing deal based on the city of your choice. Deals can be up to 90% off. Then, because Groupon uses the theory of collective buying power, they have to sell a certain number of deals or they cancel the deal and you don't get charged. That way you only get the most unbeatable price.

It's really easy to register and it's FREE. Here's what you do:
1.Register for Groupon
2.Check each day for their unbeatable deal (or sign up to have the deal emailed to you)
3.If you decide you want the deal, you just click on the buy button.
4.If the minimum number of people sign up, they charge your credit card and send you a link to your coupon. If not enough people sign up, you don't get charged (but you don't get the deal either).

Swagbucks - 20 Free Points for Sign-ups

Do you use Swagbucks?  I do!  If you search the internet, why not use a search engine that rewards you for searches? 

If you’re new to Swagbucks, it’s an online search engine that rewards you for searching online. It’s very simple to sign up for. In fact, it takes all of about one minute. There are no fees, no credit card required and no phone number or address requested.


After that, you are credited 30 points to your account. After that, you’ll be rewarded randomly 5-20 points for searches you do online. You can also earn points by downloading the toolbar. Plus, Swagbucks routinely gives away free points on their blog, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

With just a tiny bit of effort, you can pretty easily earn enough to get a $5 Amazon gift card (or a number of other prizes worth around $5) every 4-6 weeks.

Now, you might be thinking, “What’s the big deal if I only earn a $5 gift card every month?” Well, you’re right, $5 isn’t that exciting. It’s something, but that’s only the beginning. You see, your earnings will exponentially multiply when you refer others.

Do you know anyone else who searches online? I thought so. Well, tell them about Swagbucks, send them your referral link, and you’ll not only instantly earn more points when they sign up, you’ll also earn points for the searching they do online.
