DD and I took the bus downtown to the main library book sale.

I used DH's buspass saving .50¢ (2 transfers for .25¢/each. But using the pass saved me a greater hassle of nervousness and frustration!) We took a bus southbound, then transferred to another going eastbound.

Bought 4 "Threads" magazines for .25¢/each, 1 bread machine cookbook for .25¢, and a Rival CrockPot cooking book for $1.00.

After we came back to our part of the city, we stopped...

DH and I went to the state fair today. In this month's Valucoupon envelope was a coupon for $3 of 2 adult admissions tickets.

Saved $6. Parking this year was free--yay!

After roaming around all the arts and crafts exhibits, and hearing a 15 minute mild rant from the baking judge about how putting yeast into a muffin doesn't make it a muffin--it's a biscuit-- and MUST be entered in a different baking division, we walked around the business exhibits.

I must have...

Homemade pizza (bread machine pizza dough)
Grilled garlic and herbs bbq chicken breasts.

Herbed Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

1 ½ pound of dough (fits 15in round pizza pan)

1 cup water
2 Tbsp olive oil or cooking oil
2 cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp dried basil, or oregano, or Italian seasoning, crushed
¾ tsp salt
¼ garlic powder
1 tsp active dry yeast, or bread machine yeast

Add ingredients...

I'm the only one couponing in Albuquerque.

I just know it.

I subscribe to the Sunday paper to get inserts, supposedly the "best" inserts to get, but it's still nothing compared to what the rest of the known couponing world is getting.

I can only chalk this up to that fact:
I'm the only one couponing in Albuquerque.

The coupon makers don't want to waste too many resources to fill my paper with coupons.

Now I know...

I pulled something in my back last night. So glad I soaked the beans overnight!

Tonight's supper:

Crock pot 7 bean soup with ham bone
Parmesan cornmeal bread in bread machine
