Saving Eggs  

Posted by Johnny



If you find a great deal on eggs and your not sure what to do with them remember you can always freeze them. Read about it here. I have frozen eggs before after whisking them up and put them in a freezer bag flat in the freezer. They stack very nicely and you can store several dozen this way. Great for scrambled eggs or omelets. I have not tried freezing them individually yet, that will be next.

Glade Oil Warmers  

Posted by Johnny


After my Mom and I visited my brother in the hospital today we decided to check out the Kroger's in Ft. Wayne. We found 6 Glade Oil Warmers, however instead of getting a $4 Catalina for each one purchased we only received one. I had bought 2 and my mom 4. So then we stopped at Meijer and bought some there. The same thing happened. We only received 1 for each set of two purchased. I am very confused by this considering I was just in the Meijer here in town last night and got 4 for the 4I purchased. I think I will try to return them at Meijer and rebuy them to see if I can get my other (4)$4 Catalina's. I have plenty of these already and if I can't get the original deal then I really don't want them.

Update On My Brother  

Posted by Johnny

My brother ended up getting two stints put in on Wednesday. All went well and hopefully he will be going home Friday(tomorrow). He will have to lose some weight and be on a strict diet for his diabetes, then at some point they will go in and do a bypass. Thanks to everyone for praying for him. He will need continued prayers as he struggles with his diet.

Family Matters - Please Pray  

Posted by Johnny

So I have a bad weekend! My brother had a heart attack Friday, early morning. As we sat with him in ICU the doctor came in and told us the terrible news. The doctor informed us that he has the worst type of Coronary Artery Disease that they see. He also said that he as a surgeon really didn't like to operate on this particular type. Needless to say my brother and the rest of my family were and still are completely shocked by this news.
It's Monday now and the doctors are still are unsure of how they are going to treat his problem. I am very frustrated with these doctors. He has three that are seeing him and still nothing has been done. Last night I left the hospital thinking he would be having angioplasty today. Then at 3pm we find out that they are not going to do surgery and won't be until the earliest Wednesday and that is just tentative.
I am very frustrated! Please keep my brother, his family and my family in your prayers.

What Are You Doing With Yours?

So of course right on schedule Walgreens issued another $5 off a $20 purchase coupon. I haven't purchased my FAR's yet and this may be what I get with mine, but I am still undecided.
What are you going to get with yours? If you have any great ideas leave them and maybe I will get inspired!

Your 2 Cents  

Posted by Johnny

I have been signed up with Your2Centsfor quite some time now and get several offers to try and qualify for surveys. They pay really well if you get excepted, between $1 and $5 on average. I think this is good compared to most companies that only offer points. Usually I answer the preliminary questions and get booted out of the system and don't qualify.
Finally I have qualified for one. I am very excited about this one because I actually get to test two different products and then submit my online results after testing them out! The best part is I use this item very often and they will pay me $10 for completing this survey!!! Yeah!!

I will come back and blog after the survey is done, as I am not sure if I should give away the product right now.

Wednesdays Shopping Trip - 10/15  

Posted by Johnny



This is my stop at Meijer. Yes, I went to Meijer again! I just couldn't pass up the great deals, plus I found out about some great catalina deals after searching the Internet last night and decided to try them. I also overlooked a couple of deals and after seeing them on other blogs I decided it was worth getting.
So here are some of the "NEW" deals I did today along with some deals I recycled from yesterday: (MM = Meijer Mealbox)

Miracle Whip - 2/$5 - MM $1/2 = $1.50ea
Spaghettios - 6/$3 - .40/2 MQ = .10ea
Jello - .64ea - MM $1.50/2 = 2 FREE
Betty Crocker Bagged Potatoes - .89 - .35/1 MQ = .19ea
Taco Bell Salsa - 1.85 - MM 1.50/1 = .35ea (I use these in stuffed peppers, stuffed cabbage, chili, etc.)
Argo Cornstarch - 1.35 - .45/1 MQ = .45
Birds Eye Steam Fresh Veggies - $2.19ea - MM $1/2 + $1/1 Catalina = 1.19ea
(I meant to grab the $1.59 ones to make this a better deal)
Glade Scented Oil Warmer - $4.69 - Use BOGO MQ - Get a $4 OYNO for each one you buy.

I split some of deals and did them twice, like the oil warmers. The first transaction was $15.23 then I used the (2) $4 OYNO on the next transaction and paid $4.50. Bringing the grand total to $19.73. I bought 36 items total and ended up paying .55 per item. I had a savings of $41.23. Plus I also have $8 to spend!
All the items are not listed above but are pictured.




This is what I got at Scott's (AKA: Kroger)

Rain check for Land O Lakes Butter - $1 - .30/1 MQ (they actually tripled this today) = .10ea when you buy two you receive .75 OYNO Catalina(2) Cottonelle - .99ea - .50/1 MQ = FREE + I used a Shortcuts e-coupon so I actually received overage
Chicken Leg Quarters - reduced $4.31
Tropicana O.J. - reduced $2.49 - .75/1 MQ = $1.74
(2) Tennessee Pride Sausage Gravy - $1ea - .55/1 = .45ea

I had (2) .75 OYNO from previous butter purchases. My total was $5.22. (.65/item) I saved $7.63in coupons, not to mention the amount I saved from teh chicken and juice being marked down.

I will probably be over budget this week and will have to cut back somewhere. I know I have to buy coffee at Kroger so I am just hoping the deals are not super awesome the next two weeks! LOL!!
