Wal-Mart is offering a Free Sample of MultiGrain Cheerios. If you have received samples from Wal-Mart before then you know that they come pretty fast, and sometimes they even send a coupon. I have never tried the MultiGrain Cheerios so this will be a great sample to get.

This is what we had for dinner last week:

Monday - Pizza
Tuesday - Biscuits & Gravy, Fried Potatoes
Wednesday - Grilled Chicken, Rice, & Corn
Thursday - Hamburgers (My Son made for one of his 4-H projects) leftover corn, & French Fries
Friday - BBQ Chicken, Lipton Chicken Rice, & Broccoli

I noticed we didn't have many veggies this week. I started working my part-time summer job and sometimes I forget to be specific with what to cook while I am gone. Hopefully this week will be a little healthier.

Tired of continually having to buy refills for your Swiffer duster? I have not bought refills in over 6 months just simply because I can't bear to buy them just to throw them away. Not that I am a GO GREEN person, but I am very frugal and don't like to throw away money.
Well, thanks to Niki over at FREE 2 BE FRUGAL for finding this post, now you can make your own reusable duster!

Here are the very easy instructions. And while your there check out the cover she made for the Swiffer sweeper/mop.

Father's Day is fast approaching, and some of you may not know what your kids are getting their father for Fathers day. Well, I have a great solution! This is a fast and easy craft that can be done in less than 30 minutes. The great thing is you may already have the supplies you need without going to the store to buy them.
I received this great idea form Martha Stewart's craft of the day e-mail. I am truly not a huge fan of her but I do like the ideas that her employees put together! Also if you go to the link above then you will also see that there are other crafts you can do for Father's Day as well.

I got all this for .03! Wow! I was so proud of Mom when she got er stuff for .05 and then it was my turn! I ended up getting more than I had planned on, but it really paid off. Listed below is what I got and what q's I used.

2 Reeses Whipps 2/1.00 - 1.00/2 MQ
12 Bags of Asst. Gold Emblem Candy .88ea - 1.00/2 CRT
2 Folgers Coffee $10ea - 1.00/2 MQ
2 Sobe Life Water 1.00ea - BOGO MQ
3 Twizzler 2.49ea - B2G1 MQ
4 Nivea Shave Gel 2.99ea - (2) $4/2 MQ

I used a $10/50 CRT & a $3/10 CVS products CRT(Gold Emblem are CVS brand)
then I used 29.96 in ECB's
I got back $20 in ECB's
Paid .03 OOP!!!

I did lose 9.96 in ECB's, but still have about $30 so I am okay, because I will go and do the Nivea deal again this week.
FYI - the Nivea Deal is a money maker. Buy 4 shave gels use the coupon from this last weeks paper, B2 get $4 off, then you get $5 ECB's so even if you have no ECB's to start this is a great deal to start with. You bank $1.04!!!

Oh by the way, the Twizzlers have 3 point on them that count towards a free movie ticket. Get 15 point to earn the ticket. So of course now I am saving as many points as possible to count towards this deal. We don't go to the movies much due to the cost, so this will be great if I can get enough points added up.

My menu last week was as follows:

Monday- Coke Roast - glazed carrots - augratin potatoes
Tuesday - Beans & Sausage (like beans and wienies)
Wednesday - Hamburgers & Chips
Thursday - Chicken Tenders - Mac&Cheese - Corn
Friday - Fin For Yourself (Late Ballgame)

Sorry this is a day late...We have been super busy with Softball!

Today (now yesterday) when I got up out of bed this is what I saw. This is the view from my bedroom window.
I thought I would share it with those of you that don't live in this area. And even if you do, you may not get a chance to see the lake everyday. This is the only positive to living where I live. I do have a gorgeous view, and actually the picture does not do it justice.
