Does the idea of shopping, let alone cooking make you want to sit down and cry? It does me. The only thing I want to make in this heat is reservations.
I was camping for 4 days this past week. The night time tempatures dropped so low there was frost on our pillows. All I wanted was a hot meal and cocoa. Then I come home and the over night low is 85 with a high of 108. All I want now is ice cream, with shaved ice on the side. I refuse to turn on the oven. So, here's your tip for the week:
Arby's has buy something get something free every Wed (usually buy a drink, get sandwich free)
Chic fil-A has free kids meals on Wed (fashion place mall location is Tues)
Lone Star has free kids meals too, used to be Tuesday, call and check before going.
Training Table has half price cheese fries Mon-Thurs.
For lunch I love to take my kids to the dollar movies. When the movie is a buck, you can afford popcorn and a drink. Buy the large size that comes with free refills and bring paper cups. Fill their cups up and keep their dirty little paws out of your popcorn. Do the same with the drink, but use sippies (even for the big kids) they will all spill, I guarentee it. Afterward if they were good during the movie stop in for an ice cream. I love our old fashioned creamery, Leatherby's.
Enjoy the summer heat and take out!

How To- short version
The basic lesson behind the maddness is this: Buy what is on sale and use coupons for those items. Stock up when there are GREAT deals. You'll spend the same with double the groceries.

Mom's tip Jar
Mom’s Tip Jar
For the 12 loads of laundry done each week,
For the all the lost socks that you help seek.
For the dishes that won’t do themselves,
For stacking the games back on the shelves.
For making the beds and scrubbing the floor,
For driving to practices and running to the store.
For every meal planned and prepared,
For all the wiped noses with nary a care.
For the coupons you cut and the pennies you pinch,
For the chart that measure each child’s every inch.
For the kisses and band aid’s on every skinned knee,
For chasing away ghost that only a child can see.
Here is a jar to keep the coins that you find,
Under cushions, in washers, even under the blinds.
For dollars crumpled and laundered,
Forgotten and never again pondered.
Here you can keep all these little treasures,
When you think your deeds go without measure.
By the end of the week you’ll have enough for a treat,
By the end of the month you can pamper your feet.
We’ve kept it simple, even discreet,
So little hands will not be tempted to peek.
Mom’s tip jar will keep all dues that are owed her,
From the people whom forget to say “thank you, mother.”
