Ha!  Well, it was 7 soups in 7 days.  Now I've lost track.  Work, out of town, hubby gone, birthday parties all equal not really sticking to a plan.  I finally made the chili I was talking about tonight for dinner.  Chris is at work tonight so I guess we'll eat it tomorrow too. I have seen and experienced both sides of the coupon world.  I have done the "hit every store for the great deals"

So I forgot to soak my beans for chili, and when I got home from work yesterday I was at a loss for what to make... EXCEPT for the broth and cut up chicken in my fridge left over from the last few days of soup :)  So I hate to say it but yesterday's "soup" day was a big FAIL, except for the fact that the meal I made had all soup ingredients... it just wasn't runny like soup, ha.  I made chicken

Well, we made it past the halfway point!  I can't tell if everyone in my family is genuinely excited about the soup each night or if my hubby has discovered my blog posts LOL! :)  Either way, I think the soup last night went over well.  I've never made Hot and Sour Soup before so it was a fun learning experience.  I *loved* pouring the egg in the swirling water and watch it cook before my eyes.

Ahhhh so much comfort in a good Beef Stew.... We have lots of Irish going on over here so it always has to have Guiness in it :)  Still no complaints on soup now 3 days in a row.  That amazes me!  In fact, my husband raved about the stew.  We'll see how tonight goes... I'll be trying something I've never made before! The "extras", as I was reminded by a friend (thanks Andrea!), are very

Day #2 was a success!  In case you didn't figure it out from the hint I gave at the end of the last post, I was roasting the last of our tomatoes from the garden to make a DELICIOUS (and mostly free) Tomato Basil Soup.  I got the recipe from a friend and it has changed my life. My family still doesn't know I am attempting 7 soups in 7 days.  I probably would have heard some complaining by now

Wow!  Its been a long time since I have posted.  I miss it so much!  Life is busier now than ever- I am a preschool teacher 4 days a week and clean a house bi-weekly to help pay for our daughters tuition.  We LOVE her school so it is totally worth my time away.  A huge plus is that the girls hardly notice that I am working since I'm at the same preschool as our youngest.  God is good :) Since

I have another post that is more of an update coming, but I thought I'd get a meal plan out since I need to add pictures to the other one. You haven't seen a meal plan in a long time... and I haven't officially written one out lately, which usually equals bad news.  :)  I do it in my head and then forget stuff.. no bueno, especially for the budget.  So here it is, in all it's glory.  I would

Well, a little late on the meal plan for the week!  We were out of town from Friday-Monday so I focused in on the laundry piles between last night and today :)  After my girls slept between 6-8 hours each night (which means I slept way less), imagine my delight to come home to a freezer full of easy food after last weeks couple of big cooking days.  Monday we did BBQ Chicken Calzones and Tuesday

Freezer Cooking day 2 (yesterday) was a success!!  I was so tired last night, I just couldn't finish the pita bread and corn tortillas.. not a biggie.  I was really happy with the things I did get finished though.  Its hard to get an exact read on the costs, but I estimated that everything I made below cost me a total of about $15 with my biggest expense being white and whole wheat flour...

Today was a great day although I forgot about an oil change and hair appointment at 2 different points of the day that took me away from home for a bit.  Combine those with breakfast, lunch, dinner for the family, and the fact that I ran out of flour- (what a HUGE oversight on my part!) my freezer baking day sort of went down the drain :)   On a happy note, the calzones turned out delicious!

I spent a large portion of last week caring for my sick babies which equals soup pretty much everyday, so I'm glad to move into some different food categories this week!  I'm going to do a big cooking day today and stock back up on things I am low on.  I actually got a head start last night by using up the last of the fresh pumpkin I had in my freezer (since November) to make pumpkin bread.  I

Coupons have been restocked over at Coupons.com, and I just came across a $.75/1 Gold Medal Flour coupon!  I saw this on sale at Kroger last night which will equal a great deal on flour.  Be sure to hit the back button after printing to grab 2 of these great coupons!

I'm so much like a little kid in a candy store with coupons- especially when Super Doubles are happening :)  Today I spent $4.90 and saved $51.60 (91%).  I would have had to spend that on the organic soup alone!!   Go HERE for a great list, but I wanted to include a few things I found that weren't on the list for you that would be FREE!

Ahhh Monday :)  I sort of skipped last week because Chris was gone all week.  Never went to the store once, but the girls' and I survived though thanks to my stocked freezer.  We ended up having a fabulous Valentine's dinner at home last night including heart-shaped pasta with chicken, artichoke, and spinach and lobster tail (on sale at Publix this week!).  My hubby and I will definitely go out

So I posted on my meal plan that I was going to make Chicken Chili on Friday.  Well, I didn't want todays dinner, so I made Fridays instead :)  It was AMAZING!  I wanted to share what I did differently because if you follow the recipe as stated, you will be disappointed (and your mouth will be on FIRE!)

Well, its been a few weeks since the last Tuesday's Timesaver- sorry friends!  If you missed the last 2 posts you can view them here and here.

Its sooooo cold here right now... nothing like hot soup and fresh bread on a snowy day!  Homemade soup is not only the ultimate comfort food, but it is usually very inexpensive and can be frozen for an additional meal later.  Many of the recipes I'll be using call for chicken broth as a base.  If you have read along with me for a while, you know that I make my own and keep it in the freezer

Check your Kroger stores for marked down sunscreen.  At the store in Franklin on Murfreesboro Rd, there is a whole bin of Huggies sunscreen for $3 in the Manager's Special section at the front of the store!  There is both the spray and rub on kinds.  I checked the expiration dates and they will for sure get us through the summer..

Seems like everyone around the frugal blogosphere is doing "pantry challenges" for any given amount of time.. some 2 weeks, some 30 days.  This is when you spend that amount of time eating out of your stockpile you have accumulated through couponing and deal finding.  These types of challenges are great because it keeps you out of the stores for a bit, gives you a break from couponing and

The disaster in Haiti has especially grabbed my heart.  Haiti was the first place I ever went on a missions trip to when I was 15.  As we flew over with a team on an old World War II plane, the rumbling engines drowned out everything except for my thoughts as I wondered in anticipation for what the next couple weeks would hold.  I knew my life would never be the same!

I'm sure many of you have heard of Groupon by now- I really just started checking it out about a week ago and bought my first one a few days back.  This isn't just for Nashville, but for many different cities across the US. I am SO impressed with this site!  Groupon offers great ways to save (usually over 50%) on dining, entertainment and more buy "group buying".  There is always a set number

If you haven't heard about Kiva, you are going to love it!   Kiva is an organization that "connects people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty."  They find real people- entrepreneurs who are simply short on money and they connect a lender with that person... or many lenders since the funds are given in $25 increments.  How amazing to take $25 and lend it, get it back and then

I want to take a few weeks and talk about entertaining.  Today's post isn't actually going to provide any timesaver tips, per say, but will be an intro for what is to come :)  I get asked a lot about entertaining- how to fit it into a busy schedule and how to do it in a way that doesn't break the bank. Being hospitable is a big New Years resolution for me this year.  Six years ago we moved

Back to the ol' meal plan!!  December was meal planning chaos, LOL!  Its always the month for last minute get togethers, dinners out, family in town, etc... so I was definitely ok with being flexible.  There is something so comfortable about that meal plan though- Not to mention, its definitely one of the things that will help me save a lot of money and time.  Here's what I'm thinking for this

Yes, its true.  Sometimes I deviate from my menu plan... SHAME! ;)  Just kidding- don't we all sometimes?  Yesterday I was in Kroger and found a great deal on ground turkey- 3 lbs for $1.99!  Yesterday was also our 7th anniversary and even though our "date" for the day was lunch out sans kids, I thought it would be fun to make something I hadn't made before to make it kind of special (its amazing

Right now through Nov. 30th, Ebates is offering double cash back!!  Here are a few of the deals: Old Navy- 10% cash back & free shipping on orders over $50 Shutterfly- 15% cash

The Publix Penny Item for Sunday and Monday is: Publix Frozen Pizza (crispy crust) You are eligible to receive the penny item when your total hits $10 before you hand over your coupons. Many of our local stores do not require that you have the penny item coupon (found in the weekly ad), but I have heard change is happening in a few places, so take the coupon just in case.

There is a great running list at Faithful Provisions that bloggers from all over have weighed in on with the skinny on Black Friday deals.  I'm probably going to head out for some drugstore deals and a couple other things, but honestly I'm not super impressed with the day (especially since it means I have to get up at 4am).   Any die hard Black Friday shoppers out there?

Yesterday was THE stressful day of the year for me.  I pulled out of it during the day by finding some great deals at Publix, Aldi ($.99 Pineapples) and Target, but found myself back in the stress seat after dinner.  There have been a few unfortunate circumstances that have helped increase the stress, including hitting my mother in law's car in my own driveway and the dishwasher breaking.  On

This should be a fun week of shopping!  I did a 5 minute run through of the Sunday paper and here's a few deals I came across at first glance! Publix: Along with the SmartSource insert this week, there is also a Publix coupon insert ("All the Trimmings") with some great coupons!  Here's one deal I saw: Friendship Sour Cream, 16.oz- regular price (not sure if its on sale)- $1.39 $1/2

There are so many deals that are going to be happening this week, I am not going to reinvent the wheel here with deal lists for drug stores! :)  There are long lists, but they are good lists, and I prefer these over others I've seen since they include the Black Friday deals.

So here's a quick timesaver tip!  If you are someone that cooks with fresh onions, buy a couple bags when you find them on sale and chop them all at one time (use a food processor if you have one).  Bag them in individual baggies (put those baggies in one big freezer) and toss them in the freezer. This way you can just grab a bag when you are cooking! I like to do this with jalepeno peppers (

This is a question that comes up at most of my coupon classes.  Is Costco a good deal?  My answer is yes and no. Prior to couponing, I dropped a lot of money at Costco.  It was my primary place to shop for food- I went every 2 weeks when my husband got paid.  I also filled in with items from Whole Foods and usually 1 more grocery store- either Kroger or Publix.  I thought since I was buying in

So I'm behind a day on my meal plan :)  My sweet husband came home yesterday after being away in England for almost 2 weeks.  We survived, and as you know I got some major cooking done while he was gone.  I didn't finish everything on my list, but am hoping to finish the last few things this week.  I made 2 dozen bagels today finally- we love having those in the freezer!  Here's the plan for
