Stater Brothers Savings!

Having been inspired by Money Saving Mom - I have been saving a ton on groceries and have even been buying specialty items for hubby and the girls!  Now in order to save so much I have a huge stockpile and never go to the store to just buy anything.  My trips are incredibly planned out and matched with coupons.

Since Stater Brother's is celebrating 75 years they are having a great sale including many 75 cent items!  This wasn't a huge stock up but I did get many things that will last us months!

Producer, Meat, Juices, Sauces, Junk Food It's All There!

Here are the potatoes.

Look at all of that food!  The receipt says I should have paid: $84.91
My actual total paid: $44.28!

Yes, I saved more than 50% and bought numerous things that will last months and some things I had to buy anyways.  Plus the buffalo chicken strips were a treat for Justin (who has been staying up until 1am daily trying to get his schoolwork done) and Pink Lemonade for the girls to enjoy as it is their favorite drink!  The stoeffers lasagna is what we buy every year for Valentines Day so that neither of us have to cook (not to mention we have eaten it every Vday since our first one 8 (oh my) years ago!

So what did I get for this amount:

2 Minute Maid Pink Lemonades @ .75 each
1 Minute Maid Limeade @ .75 each
1 Gallon of Whole Milk @ $2.69 - .55 coupon!
Party Size Stoeffers Lasagna @ 8.99 - $1 coupon.
2 Knorr Pasta Sides @.75 each - $1 off 2 coupon
2 La Victoria Taco Sauce (a treat for mommy - I grew up with these mmm) @1.99 each - $1 off 2 coupon
2 Wishbone Dressings @ .75 each - 50cent coupon
2 Pounds of Farmland Hickory Bacon @ 2.50 each.
Foster Farms Frozen Buffalo Strips @ 4.99 - $1 coupon.
2 Packages Farmer Johns Hot Dogs @ .75 each.
3 Oscar Meyer Salamis  @.75 each. (Rock Bottom Stock up price)
3 Oscar Meyer Bologna @.75 each. (Rock Bottom Stock up price)
2 1.5 lb packages of Hot Jennio Turkey Sausage @ Buy One Get One Free (Rock Bottom Price)

2.27 Pounds of Minneola Tangelos @.75 per pound
2 5# bags of Baking Potatoes @ .75 each for a 5# bag.
1 Mango @ $1 (because Caylee wanted it)

My coupon savings: 6.05
My Stater Savers sale Savings: 34.58
Total Saved: 40.63

Garden Update

Image
We had an awesome week - weather wise - until the weekend then we got slammed by wind.  Thankfully we didn't sustain any major damage (although our patio cover tried to fly across the yard and we had to anchor it down better).  The garden is a bit wind blown and everything is leaning but we harvested some yummy food this week: Two Strawberries @ .5 Ounces Kale @ 12.25 Ounces 3 Artichoke @ 1 Pound 4.375 Ounces A Grand total of 2.07 Pounds The girls ate the strawberries and LOVED them - Little C keeps checking for more every time she goes outside and Big C tells her they are not ready then secretly asks if she can have the next ripe one!  For the kale I am going to try steaming it down like spinach and freezing it?!?  And I cannot wait to steam the artichoke and eat them dipped in mayonnaise - yummy! Happy Gardening All, Ash of All Trades

Theme Thursday: Bugs & Insects

Image
This week (and next) we are working on bugs and insects.  Lots of Eric Carle inspiration here folks and the girls are loving it!  The books we read over and over and over are: For activities we started with: Playing with our caterpillar felts. The girls reenacted the Eric Carle Story using their kitchen food. Big C also had to order the pieces by "age" telling the story of transformation. And they just played with them making them talk and such. Then we did fingerprint ants.  These are Big C's she even drew the antennae and legs! (They are supposed to be in tunnels). Then we made a glue web.  Squeeze white glue in the shape of a web. Let dry and voila! Little C's fingerprint ant.  She did not like paint on her fingers. Played with our fly, spider, and web. Talked about how spiders trap flies and drink their blood. Again they made her talk and named her and made her friendly.  Made caterpillars out of playdoh.  Big C also made an egg on a leaf and a cocoon. Then
