Saving Myself Silly: March 2012

Weekly Totals

I went out to Aldi today to graba few things we were out of, and actually ran across a couple really good deals while I was there:

I paid $28.02 for all of this! The tortillas were marked down to $0.89 and $0.99 per pack so I grabbed some for the freezer, and the strawberries that were in the ad as $1.29 were actually $0.99 and they were HUGE and delicious, not small and overripe like the ones I had been finding, so I grabbed 3.

I had planned to hit the sales that ended this week at Kroger and Albertsons. I had gathered my coupons and made lists and everything, but I ended up seeing the doctor instead. That's ok, because I might would have ended up going over budget.

This trip together with my CVS & Tom Thumb trips from Monday, plus a nearly frivolous Aldi trip last Saturday for ice cream and supplies that was $19.xx brings my weekly total up to $63.76. That's under budget for the week, again! I haven't gotten these into my savings tracker spreadsheet yet to know a yearly update just yet, but I was already under budget for the year so this can only help!

I've been doing a lot of eating from my freezer and using what I had on hand, and not much bargain hunting with coupons this month, so my stocks have dwindled and it's time to pick it up.

How did your shopping go this week? Link Up below or leave a comment!

March Into April Giveaway Hop: Win A CopyKids Eat Fruits & Vegetables DVD + A $25 Whole Foods Gift Card!

LOOK: Prize is Now DVD + $25 To Whole Foods!!!

Welcome to the March Into April Giveaway Hop hosted by Planet Weidknecht and Going Crazy!! Wanna Go??!!

There are over 80 bloggers participating in this hop, and each is giving away prizes worth at least $20 on their blogs. After you enter my giveaway, be sure to scroll down past the rafflecopter and hop around to all the blogs on the list below to enter more awesome giveaways!

About The Product:

I was given the opportunity to review a DVD about healthy eating for children from Copy Kids. The main idea of these videos is that kids love to watch other kids and do what other kids do. We all know its true! We've seen it happen a million times.

Our toddlers imitate (and annoy the heck out of) their older siblings, our school aged children come home doing things that we would rather them not do that they've seen done on the playground, and for sure they act out in pretend play anything and everything they see on TV!

When I first heard about this DVD, I thought it was a brilliant idea! They have filmed a wide variety of children while they were eating (and enjoying) fruits and vegetables. You can see a clip from the video here.

My Review:

The children shown in this video are all between the ages of 1 & 4. My girls are 2 and 5. My 5 year old actually really loves her healthy foods, but the little one definitely is my more picky eater.

I decided to let her begin watching this while her older sister was at school. I also decided to ease her into the idea by starting with something that I knew she enjoyed...strawberries!

What are you doing pointing that thing at me?

As the video progresses, each time the shot goes to a different child, their name is spoken. My daughter was enjoying watching them. The clips are short, and we watched the strawberry clip 3 times in a row, as she had asked for more strawberries and had not finished them. By the end, she had learned most of the children's names, had picked out favorites, and became excited, saying their name when they reappeared on the screen.

When her sister got home, I still had some strawberries remaining in the fridge, so I put it back on and let them both watch it while they ate. The older girl, whom I thought was a bit old for this (it is recommended for ages 6 mo-5 years, and she will be 6 in May) was actually mesmerized by it, too! She knows how to work the remote, so while I intending to stop with the fruit they were eating (and I had on hand) she actually played a few more fruits and they sat and watched raspberries and bananas while they finished their strawberries.

The next day she came home, and wanted an apple for a snack, and asked if they could "watch the babies eat the apples" while she ate her apple. The younger one had eaten some crackers while we waited on the bus, but of course she quickly asked for an apple, also!

The next morning, I took a leap and went for the veggies. I had some fresh carrots at home, and my 2 year old likes cooked carrots in soups and whatnot, but has never been a fan of raw carrots. I decided not to give her a carrot when I started the clip, but I intended to hand it to her in the middle and see what happened, so I turned it on and set to work peeling a carrot quietly in the kitchen.

Before I could come over and hand it to her, she was at my feet saying "Can I have a carrot to eat, too?"

Here she is happily munching away.

She ate about half of this whole carrot, which is more raw carrot than she has ever eaten not slathered in ranch dressing, plus it was not long since breakfast, so I think she wasn't very hungry or she might have eaten more.

There are several more fruits and vegetables on the DVD (bell peppers, cucumbers, broccoli, tomatoes, avocado, blueberries, oranges, etc.) that I am very interested to see how my children respond to them, but I've not had them in the house, and my recent illness prevented a planned shopping trip to get them.

So far, I've been quite pleased with how they have taken to the idea of eating more produce. I have been trying to make more homemade "from scratch" foods around here instead of boxed convenience items, as well and include more fresh produce in our menu, so its good to know that I can buy it now and perhaps not have to fight with them quite so much to get them to eat it! I do plan on playing this before dinner next time we have broccoli. ;)

The Giveaway:

Copy Kids would like to give a copy of this DVD along with a $25 Gift Card To Whole Foods away to one of my readers. You must enter using the Rafflecopter form below.

The giveaway begins now and will end at Midnight EST on April 2. At this time, I will choose a winner and email them. They will have 48 hours to contact me. I will then send their info over to the sponsor for prize fulfillment.

We are so excited to be holding our first giveaway and to be able to feature chicken from Zaycon Foods.

You know how I like to batch cook, so this recipe makes enough for two meals. One to eat, and one to freeze! You could even double it, and eat one and freeze three!

Ingredients:
1 16oz package of bow tie pasta (I have used other shapes..no big deal)
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup butter
2 cans cream of chicken soup, undiluted
2 cups frozen peas
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
1) Cook pasta according to package directions.
2) Meanwhile, cook chicken and red peppers in butter over medium heat 5-6 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
3) Stir in the soup, peas, milk, and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1-2 minutes until sauce is heated through.
4) Stir in Parmesan cheese.
5) Stir in pasta and toss to coat with sauce.

Serve half immediately, and place the rest into a freezer container. Cover and freeze up to 3 months.

The Rest Of Your Coupon Match-Ups For The Week

You may have noticed that my grocery deal posts were not posted bright and early this morning as usual.

Yesterday, after I returned from the doctor, I posted on facebook that I had strep and a severe ear infection that has since ruptured. I've been in quite a lot of pain from that all day and it's been a bit hard to focus. I've posted my local stores that no coupons are needed, but I didn't want to leave you without the national chains.

Instead of trying to post them myself, I'm going to link you over to the pages of some trusted friends. This helps you and helps them as well, so if you are needing to shop at one of these stores, please hop over and check out the deals!

For Albertsons deals, please visit Practically Virtuous.

Synovate Global Opinion Panel Open Again & Looking For Participants

One of the very easy online money making tactics that I've let fall by the wayside lately is taking online surveys.

They are very enjoyable, and while you won't get rich, you can earn some extra spending money and often get free products to test.

One of the leading online survey companies is looking for participants again. I've both gotten pain by this site and gotten free products to test and keep (usually a toiletry of some sort, but that's one less thing to buy!)

Tom Thumb Trip 3/26--Saved 76%

After CVS, I went over to Tom Thumb. There were a couple of freebies there are coupon this week, and I brought a few other coupons along just to check their prices in store. I found several surprise deals, so I'm pretty pleased with my trip.

Here's everything I came home with:

Total Shelf Price: $55.40
Total Sale Price: $39.24
Price Paid After Coupons: $13.34 76% Savings

CVS Trip 3/26--Saved 93%

Last night I sat down and pulled out coupons to shop at 4 different stores. I went to two today, and plan on hitting the other two tomorrow morning (had to wait until payday!)

My first stop today was at CVS. I went in with $15 in ECBs to spend. I was able to stock up on Easter candy, as well as some food items we were running low on.

Here's what I got:

Shelf Price: $34.89
Sale Price: $22.99 (Already 34 % Savings)
Price Paid After Coupons and ECBs: $2.40 93% Savings And I got back $7.99 in ECBs.

The scanner machine gave me a $0.25 off two of the small eggs that are $1 for 2 and FREE after ECBs, and I used $1/2 coupons so I got them for much better than free!

I think that should be enough candy for my little ones for Easter....if only I can hide those Reese's eggs from myself and my husband. *Shhhhh, they're in the Easter baskets on the top shelf of the closet* And I only ate 1. ;)

Aldi Trips After No Shopping Last Week

I'm trying very hard to keep tabs on my spending each week through out the year, and being away last week has thrown me off.

On Saturday, after we got back, I made a quick run to Aldi to stock back up on fresh foods. They had some amazing produce prices, and since we were down to just a few apples, I went crazy! Well, not too crazy, but I did end up spending $41.53, but that included toilet paper and a few snack items.

Apparently between then and today, when I had to return because I was out of milk, I also got amnesia. I seriously had no recollection of purchasing half the things I did saturday....like raisins....so those things were on my list again today, when I returned and spent another $34.82.

I got more flour and sugar, as well as peanut butter (which, wasn't it just $1.49 last time I bought it??? Now its $2.29???) and I stocked up on some tortillas because I'm going to be making some freezer breakfast burritos with some of those eggs my aunt and uncle brought up. And you can see that I grabbed 4 boxes of their Herb flavor stuffing. I couldn't resist. It is my absolute favorite stuffing, and it's a "seasonal item" which means they only stock it during Easter and Christmas. I couldn't bear to miss out. ;)

I also came across post St. Patricks clearance, and nabbed some green sugar sprinkles for decorating marked down to just $0.19!

I spent a total of $76.35 spent at Aldi this week, which is *just* over my weekly budget, but I think my lack of spending last week more than makes up for it when I take the yearly average.

Last week, I spent $6.81 at CVS, and then there were a few random expenditures while in New Orleans, including Snow Balls and Beignets...necessities, really! ;).

This is the 12th week of the year and I've spent $795.08 so far, and that is an average of just $66.26 per week, so I've been staying well under budget!

Plus, I still have $40 of this month's cash left and payday isn't until Tuesday, so I just may hit some of the grocery stores with some coupons and see what I can do. I haven't really done much coupon shopping AT ALL this month, and my stockpile is dwindling quickly. I think I may have used a total of 5! LOL. But hey, don't we all have months like that?

I'd love to know about any deals you scored this week. Link them up below or leave a comment.

New Carefree Coupon = FREE At Tom Thumb

Herb Garden Update + Getting Started With Vegetables

I wanted to give you guys an update on how my herb garden is growing.

If you recall I planted two pots each of basil, thyme, oregano, and cilantro.

Some pots it is hard to tell from the picture, but at least something has sprouted in each one.

My next steps will be moving these sprouts into larger more permanent pot homes.

Don't forget about my giveaway for the Growing Culinary Herbs E-book. It ends tonight and has VERY low entries, plus I have 10 copies to giveaway so your chances of winning are very good!

I have since planted seeds of several vegetables: tomatoes, corn, okra, peas, green beans, cucumbers, some hot peppers for my husband, and some melons. I'm waiting on those to sprout so that I can move them to bigger containers or put them in the ground.

I've already got some potatoes growing, as well as some pumpkin, green onion, and garlic that actually sprouted in my compost pile and I moved them to pots, and a rosemary that is still going strong from last year.

I'm very excited about my garden this year. The only other thing that I'd like is bell peppers, and I think I will purchase some plants instead of starting those from seeds, just because I was out of seeds. I may also buy some strawberry plants.

What are you growing this year?
