Kraft Deal at Albertson's

Have you taken advantage of the Kraft Deal at Albertson's? You really should think about it. It's truley free food. Spend $25 in kraft foods and you get an instant $5.00 off your next purchase and a $20.00 mail-in rebate. Simple as that.

Things to keep in mind:

-make sure to use your coupons too.
-if you're buying something for any other rebate too, make sure you buy them in 2 transactions, because you have to mail in the original reciepts.
-Make sure the items you pick up are the "participating" products. Brand/size/flavor etc.
-Make sure you spend $25.00 not $24.99, but $25.00.

The title of this post is a link to the deal.

I'm telling the truth!

I was having my normal conversation after being asked how do you do your "shopping thing," when the girl made a comment that offended me a little. She said sure you save lots of money but you must just buy junk food and soft drinks. Truthfully I do buy some treats for the kids and my adult treat of soda, but I also buy milk, bread, cereal, fruit, vegitables and all the other stuff one needs to fill a pantry and feed a family of six.

So, today I had to go shopping for the upcoming long weekend camping trip. I bought food for 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches and 1 dinner for 12 people. Plus, snacks for 3 days. I also bought other things that I needed for my house as well. Notice the 9 lbs of meat, 2 gallons of milk, all the produce, bread and even a bag of briquettes.

.......then, I couldn't help myself. I lined it all up pretty like, and took a picture. Total bill came to $139.08, with a $10.oo off next purchase coupon. This was an ok saving trip, but I still saved over $100.00.

Tip of the Week

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!

Did you freak out?

When you opened the paper this Sunday did you freak out when there were no ads? Well, the ad people take a day off on a holiday too. No coupons on major holidays. But you can still get coupons online and our favorite sights.
