With a minimal out of pocket money and some mega coupon stacking on sales, clearance items and rolling UP rewards, I was able to snag some great deals at Rite Aid this week!  I was super excited about the mega package of Huggies diapers below! 
$2.34 for the week after UP Rewards! 

Here’s how I stacked coupons on the weekly sales [...]

For several weeks, we’ve been eating lettuce and Bok Choi or Pak Choi Chinese cabbage out of our garden.  It has been very nice to not have to buy lettuce and cabbage at the grocery store and we are enjoying the incredible freshness it provides as well.  I’m also enjoying the savings the lettuce and [...]

Wow this week flew by for us!  I’m going on my 3rd week of using my homemade dishwasher detergent.  I’m loving the fact that it is not only cheap to make, but it is working!  My dishwasher is on it’s last leg too, so that is really saying something for our old washer.  We do [...]

I spent the afternoon in the garden.  It is still too early to plant tomatoes, squash, beans and peppers.  But it is perfect weather for planting  lettuce, onions, cabbage, and other cool weather vegetables.
My garden now isn’t by any means anything grand.  The things planted in the garden now will drastically cut the grocery bill [...]

We love meatloaf around here.  I made a very modified version of Martha Stewart’s Meatloaf Recipe. Our large size meatloaf turned out wonderful and was the main feature of our tasty supper for our family of 10 at $1.20 per person!
Meatloaf is one of those meals that you can put together relatively inexpensively but has [...]

We love salad!  Even better, we love homemade salad dressing.  Making my own homemade salad dressing was so intimidating to me…so I never tried it.  Little did I know how easy and CHEAP it is to make your own homemade salad dressing.  Now I wonder how the salad dressing market stays afloat.  It must be because [...]

I just read this great article:  Doing the Math on Coupons on the Wall Street Journal.  Wow, I’m amazed at how couponing is hitting the media like it is.  I wrote about how the bad American economy was spurring the resurgence of coupon usage in the article:  Coupon Usage is Up in Bad Economy.  I’ve discovered the [...]
