Kroger Mega Event Deals

This is a rather strange picture. I had to take several pictures and put them all together to fit everything in. My total this week came to $251 and I only spent $133! Here are some of my best deals:



21 lb Turkey                  $8.12
Kroger Salad Dressing   FREE
1 Dozen Eggs                FREE
5 Ronzoni Noodles        FREE
4 Stove Top Stuffing    $.25 each
6 Mahatma Rice             FREE
Nestle Cookie Dough    $.99 each
2 Krusteaz Muffin Mix   $.49 each



These are just a few of the great deals I got. My comparison savings would have seemed much greater if I hadn't bought some of the staples that I always do (like 6 gallons of milk, 6 loaves of bread, 4 dozen eggs).  I had a GREAT shopping day this week and I owe it all to Bethany over at The Big Red Pot. Thanks again Bethany!!!

Van Neste Adoption

My sister Angela and her husband Scott are in the process of adopting two little babies from Ethiopia. Please pray for them during this process. If God lays them on your heart and you would like to help them out, here is the link to their website. If you scroll down, there are directions to donate to their adoption fund. It will cost them thousands of dollars, but it will be well worth the effort and money to save these two precious children. http://vannesteadoption.wordpress.com/about/

I WON!!!

I won a $60 Gift Certificate to CSNStores.com from Bethany over at The Big Red Pot. Thanks Bethany!!! I have really been wanting a waffle maker for a while, but that is just one of little "luxury" items that I really didn't want to spend our money on. I was so excited to win this. I knew exactly what I was going to get! I LOVE my waffle maker. I posted a review on the one I picked below.

Grill & Waffle Maker

I love waffless!!!

By statum from TN on 10/4/2010

 

5out of 5

Pros: Fast, Consistent Results, Non-Stick

Best Uses: Large Family

Describe Yourself: Avid Cook

We have a large family and we love waffles! This waffle maker cooks fairly quickly and very evenly. It makes delicious, crispy waffles. I like to make a bunch and throw them in a zip lock bag, freeze, then pop into the toaster for a quick breakfast. This waffle maker makes four waffles (about the size of a piece of sandwich bread).

Finally Back

Well, I'm finally back posting menus. Since Rebekah has arrived, my life has been a little crazy. Ben broke his leg and has been in a cast & boot, which made everything a little more difficult.

I just ordered curriculum yesterday and am looking forward to getting back into a routine. I'm sure school will be difficult with a new little one, but I'm looking forward to it just the same.
