Still fighting allergy/sinus mess here . . .
Sunday was a wonderful Homecoming and dinner on the grounds at church. I took a big pan of baked ziti--totally out of my stockpile, except for one onion. After church, I ran in Publix to get two newspapers, milk, bread, and bananas. ($10.95) The penny item was white bread, which the boys will eat, and then I might make breadcrumbs and freeze. Made a quick run to CVS that evening to get Pull-ups, Skintimate shave gel, and Easter grass. I wanted to be able to use my $3/$15 from my e-mail, but then I forgot to give my $2 PUll-ups coupon!
I still came out only paying $6.50 in ECBs for the Huggies deal ($0 oop)!
Yesterday and today I made two kinds of soup, because it is ridiculously cold here and windy! DH took one pot of soup and cornbread to friends last night who just had surgery and he took another soup dinner to friends tonight who just had a baby. We also sent cakes of cornbread (free mix after Q's at Publix), and for dessert we sent "Easter nests" the boys and I made Sunday night with chow mein noodles (free at Publix) and jelly beans (free at CVS). Instead of using chocolate chips from my stockpile (which I want to save for cookies so we don't spend on slice-and-bakes), I googled a substitute and was able to use cocoa powder, sugar, and Smart Balance. I also used the last of some Skippy chunky peanut butter--so we cleaned out our cabinet and made a yummy dessert as well! I had intended to send it for snacks for the teeball team on Monday, but the game was canceled because the fields were too wet!
Today I mailed out the two seafood rebates from the crab meat and also made a Publix run--$24.01 for 2 gallons milk, 1 gallon soymilk, bread, onion, potatoes, carrots, 2 dozen eggs, 2 bags Lays' chips (with Pepsi Q), 2 jars Ragu, 2 lbs. LOL butter, 2 lbs. ICCB butter, 2 bags Birds Eye corn, Tropicana 50 OJ, Kraft mayo, vanilla extract, Smithfield bacon, and one pack of gum.
In the mail yesterday and today I got a $4.99 Ventfresh rebate, my two Hershey movie tickets, my Pepsi-Frito Lay Q's and a Q for a free pack of M and M's from the Hunt for Yellow sweeps.
April spending: $89.12
April rebates: $14.99
April total: $74.13

Hey, how did you get free chow mein noodles?
Thats' something I hardly ever get free.Posted 04-07-2009 at 07:51:56 PM by thickbluebug
- Thanks! The chow mein I bought several months ago (they had actually expired, but were still fresh when I opened them) when they were on Advantage Buy at Publix for 99-cents and I found 50-cent Q's in the turnstyle that doubled!Posted 04-10-2009 at 06:17:16 PM by thl
