Operation $40K

Nothing. :( HERE a link to Wild For Wag's post about it - I ran out of time this morning. You can get a few good deals, but nothing FREE - check out their school supply specials!

You can find them here -- at Totally Target. Make sure you thank Kerry for her great work! :) Happy Shopping!

When you get 100 boxes of cereal.... ...you get 222 Monopoly game pieces. If I don't win something this time, I think the game is rigged, LOL!

Just a quick note - you are going to REALLY want to learn CVS if you haven't been playing at it. Walgreen's is changing their Resgister Reward program in September and, it's not pretty. CVS is where *I* will be shopping instead, but I will tell you more about that later. :) Thanks to Didie for this week's list!

Call your local JcPenney Salon NOW to book a FREE haircut for your kiddos if they are going to be entering Kindergarten thru 6th grade this fall! A few things about this: You have to be a JCP Rewards Member (sign up FREE and earn 100 points) It is August only. It is a $14 value. It is a 15 minute appointment - JUST a cut. No washing/etc. Bring CA$H to tip the stylist. Just because it is a FREE service from the salon, doesn't mean that they stylist should get stiffed. (think waitresses and tips/same concept). I say CA$H as there will be no bill - you can't use plastic and process it through the salon. Still - a $3-5 tip on a FREE cut is a heck of a great deal! Call your salon quick - they only have so many slots available! :) (Thanks to my Mamma for forwarding me her email!)

This HOT new coupon is PERFECT timing for Double Double Daze tomorrow! Each one of these you print off should be good for two FREE Milky Way candy bars when it is doubled. I am sure it will go quickly -- so print it while you can! :) $1.00 off when you buy any TWO MILKY WAY® Brand Singles Bars (1.76 oz - 2.05 oz.)

My grandma is 92 today - We have a little family lunch celebration for her at her favorite place: Red Lobster. (Y es, I have a gift card for that...HA !) Four generations are going to be at the table... so very awesome. :)

In my coupon class, I mention a few reasons WHY you want some sort of a stockpile. Even FEMA says we should all have at least a 72 hour supply of food that we can eat, without cooking and bottled water. In Wisconsin, we don't have things like hurricanes but do have to worry about things like tornadoes, severe fires (thanks to the drought), ice storms, blizzards, and chemical spills. The last item is important if you live within five miles of any railroad tracks or within one mile of a major highway. Accident's happen. Trains are derailed and semi's crash. That could mean toxic chemicals and your family is in harm's way. Are you ready? Just check out this quick video: I am a firm believer that when you have a plan, you don't need it! We are talking about a few things IN ADDITION to food, like you saw in the clip. Did you see how the organized family took the computer CPU? If there is looting after you leave and you didn't take it, you could have...

This is a picture of the grass in my front yard. I made sure to get a little of my peony bush in there so you could see how NOT green my grass really is. {{{sniff}}} In Southern Wisconsin, just since June we are down about five inches of rain... it is worse if you factor in May. Add record high temperatures over the last few weeks and we have some serious conditions. Many local areas cancelled their firework displays this year. Many areas have a "burn ban" going on. More than half the counties in Wisconsin have been declared emergency situations as it is now an EXTREME drought here, from our Governor and they are now talking about water restrictions. {{{sigh}}} Let me tell you right up front: I am not worried about the grass. It is hearty stuff and had simply gone "dormant". It will come back in full force as long as it is NOT watered and NOT mowed. We haven't mowed the yard since the first week of May. What AM I worr...

I know - it's Double Double Daze at Copp's and Pick N Save this weekend! I fully intend to use that bonus discount. :) Here is the thing... I don't need anything. We are pretty well stocked and I have no room to put 60+ new items. My Plan? Shop for the food pantry! Last week, the Quaker cereals were on sale for $2.50 a box, normally $4.13-4.25 at my store. I went late in the afternoon on Saturday and hoped to see an empty shelf. I did! That meant a rain check for THIS week and on Monday, I called in an order for 100 boxes of cereal. $2.50 x 10 boxes = $25.00 -use ten $1.00/1 coupons (doubled) pay $5.00 out of pocket. That is $41.30 of cereal for $5.00, saving 88%. I am doing that ten times, using my store card for 6 transactions and then my Mom's for the last 4. I DID do a match up for the ad, you can see it HERE . If I was shopping for normal stuff, what would catch my eye? Meats from the 13 hour sale Johnsonville brats LaChoy Dinner Creations for my...

Thanks to Tina for sharing this...

This is an oldie, but a goodie. I always seem to pull it out of my files when the weather is warmer as it is a light, cool, refreshing treat. :) SUPER easy to do! Start by baking a 9x13 cake - yellow or white. Then, as it cools, whip up 6oz of Jell-O, per the box instructions. I prefer lemon or lime, but any flavor will do. Pop that Jell-O in the fridge for a bit to start thickening. As the cake cools, use the back of a handle to poke holes in it. Then pour your slightly thickened Jell-O over it, aiming mostly for the holes. "Frost" it quick with Cool Whip or Fresh Whipped Cream Simply chill until ready to slice and serve. Yum! **You CAN make this slightly healthier... Use egg whites instead of whole eggs, use Fat Free Cool Whip and Sugar Free gelatin. 

If you didn't get yours today, stop at the customer service desk at your store and ask for a copy. Despite half of them being Roundy's items, I see a few fun things like: 16oz package of Kraft Singles for $1.98 Aunt Jemima Waffles or Great Starts $.88 New York Garlic Texas Toast $1.48 Ball Park Franks $1.48
