We love trying new things -- this had become one of our FAVORITE dried snack treats! I had gotten Dole Pineapple Rings FREE - they were marked down to $.60 a can (4 slice) and I had $1/3 coupons that I doubled at Copp's back in the Double Double day streak in April...for about 20 cans of pineapple rings! You take them out of the can and pat them dry with paper towels, like Miss Sarah is showing you here. Then, you place them in the dehydrator tray with a (paper towel dried) maraschino cherry in the middle. Plug it in and let it rip about 6 hours or so. They shrink to hold the cherry as they dry, like you see here, and are AMAZING!!!  I can't wait for the next Dole coupon to come out so I can load up! This is a great staple in our house now -- and two make a GREAT "dessert" in a school lunch!

You can find them here -- at Totally Target. Make sure you check the Food Clearance - they are starting to mark the back to school stuff down to make room for the new Holiday stuff !

Some people are always looking for a little extra money to make, from home, from their computer. The following sites have surveys to take for actual money, products to test and review (and get paid), or for points you can use for stuff. Good luck! I'd try it, if I had the time. =)      

I can't say enough about the photo calendars...we make "Sarah" calendars every year for the grandparents at Christmas and they LOVE them! First of all, keep in mind that I have/had four Dads -- some are remarried, and they have parents still - which makes for a LOT of Grandparents on my side. My hubby is an only child of a couple that I swear is related to Ward and June Cleaver...less the pearls. =) You can upload a variety of fun shots from the course of the year and make a neat calendar that really becomes a mini photo album! Seriously, they have saved every year by their photo albums - it cracks me up! Check it out -- you can get it for just shipping! A photo calendar through Walgreens.com is $19.99 PLUS shipping...you can repeat this offer a few times and save a bundle. I know -- soon, you will be like me: DONE holiday shopping by Black Friday and coasting through the holidays actually able to enjoy them! =)

The Sentry Food's ad for the week has a manu Q for $3 off when you buy 4 Pepsi 12 packs...take that to HyVee (doesn't say Sentry or have their logo on it) , and use it with the HyVee sale this week (four 12 packs for $8) and you will get four 12 packs for $5 - or, $1.25 each! STEAL DEAL! You can do Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew (according to the coupon).

It's back: The FREE Note Cards from VistaPrint! We seem to be talking about holiday shopping today -- these, with a pack of forever stamps and a nice pen make a great gift for a family member who is down sizing! They always have a lot of great designs to choose from - you can get as creative as you want. You also have PLENTY of time before the holidays so check out the other FREE items they have and pick the extra slow shipping option. I like to stack them on the same order. (free cards, free t-shirt, free pen, etc) =) Happy Shopping!

LOTS of new ones today - I LOVE the Musselman's Apple Sauce as I am collecting UPCs for a rebate offer of theirs! =) **Remember, you can stack these with a Store Sale, Store Coupon AND a Manu Coupon - as they don't come off the register total the day you shop!

I was HOPING that these coupons would be back this year! =) Last year, you could take these to Target or Walmart and get the TRAVEL sized games for almost nothing! Most of them run $3.99 -5.99 each, so the coupons would drop them to FREE or under $1. **The hard core couponer's figure this out quickly and these coupons vanish - print them NOW and see if Target.com has one that you can stack it with (they should come out mid month) $4.00 off the purchase of one CONNECT 4 game $5.00 off one SIMON FLASH, SCRABBLE FLASH, YAHTZE **Donation Alert!!!! If you don't have little people to buy for, think of the Salvation Army holiday toy drive or the local Giving Trees at the Mall's/Churches in November. It's a GREAT way to help out others!

I simply love this - and it's SOOOO friggin' easy! You can upload ANY photo and they put it on a canvas for you - all you pay is shipping ($14.95). If you don't like the 8x10 size, you can upgrade and apply your $50 credit to it. Think holiday gifts! I just ordered TWO - one for each different set of grandparents! Canvas prints do NOT need a frame so this is a GREAT way to decorate your walls or makes a frugal, yet impressive gift. I already talked a little about Black Friday, my goal is to be DONE shopping by then and have everything wrapped! That way, I relax and enjoy the holiday season, everything from making cookies with Miss Sarah to random drives to see holiday light displays. Check it out - you won't be sorry!

Remember, it's a holiday weekend...that means NO coupon inserts in the Sunday paper (sigh). Happily, there are a lot of NEW coupons in the printable world as it's the beginning of the month -- check them out here

$647.08 in items for 65.63 Out Of Pocket cost, saving $581.45, or 89.9% I am holding $4.50 in Walgreen's RR - to be used in September...sadly, they say redeem ONLY at Wags, so I will play with them soon =) It seems a tad light, but keep in mind that I was on vacation for 18 days out of 31. We used gift cards to eat on the road, packed items from our stockpile and still, had a blast! We came in $34.37 under our monthly spending budget for the month - not too shabby! How did you do?

Hi there -- I am posting my weekly column for the Serve One Another in Love blog on here, so I can link it to their facebook page as they are having issues and not able to update their site. I just don't want to leave anyone hanging from the last challenge =) Last week, I asked you to track your expenses. Just one week of writing down everything that you spent money on.   This does two different things for you: Make you more cautious of what you spend before it leaves your hand. Make you see where you are really putting your money. If you take your weekly list, and multiply it by 4, you get a picture of what your monthly habits could be. That $4 McDonald's breakfast, twice a week, ads up to $32 a month. That daily $3 gourmet coffee ads up to $60 a month. That $5 pack of cigarettes ads up to $50 a month, if a pack lasts you 3 days. Those are simple examples of things you wanted, but didn't NEED.   Did you find yourself thinking twice before you spent any mone...

They double coupons every day, up to $.55 - how fun! This doesn't cover everything in their add, just the bargains. Just remember that everything in their ad is FOR sale, not ON sale...  Keep in mind my price points for produce ($1/# or less) and meat ($2/# or less) There are a few deals this week - they also have the Back to School P&G deal - where you spend $30 and get a $10 Prepaid Master card by mail Produce Deals Schucks Russet Potatoes 10# bag $4.99 (that's it, sorry)   Meat Deals Fresh Bratwurst $1.99/# (sold in a 3+ pound package) Bar S Franks $.89/pack - limit 2 Schnucks Natural Fresh Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts $1.79/# (sold in a 3+ pound package) Pork Butt Roast $1.39/# Pride of the Farm Pork Spareribs $1.99/# Pride of the Farm Pork Shoulder Country Style Ribs $1.99/# Dairy Case Deals Heluva Dips $1.25 -use the $.50/1 from here Grocery Deals Gatorade 32oz $.88 -use the $3 off WYB 10 tear pad out there Kellogg's Pop Tarts $2 -use t...

T'was the night before school started, when all through the town, the parents were cheering... It was a riotous sound! By 8, kids were washed and tucked into bed... Where memories of homework filled them with dread! New pencils, new folders, new notebooks too! New teachers, new friends...Their anxiety grew! The parents just giggled when they learned of this fright- and shouted upstairs: Go To Bed! It's A School Night!

Here is part of the list from Pocket Your Dollars , I have it updated with OUR pricing and flier items as they vary by franchise...and our weekly ad starts the Thursday after their Sunday ad starts My changes are in green. **Keep in mind that the Monopoly game is basically over.
