Hy-Vee 2 Day Sale

As apart of Hy-Vee's 1 year birthday celebration this week they are offering %15 off select meet and cheese items including the meat and cheese in their Deli!

Upon entering the store you will see a display for this. Simply grab a paper bag and the add that tells you the qualifying items. Any meat/cheese items you put in this bag will be discounted at 15% and you can use coupons!

All Things Baby

Below is a copy of my post you can also see on TopekaKidsRock.com today! Be sure to head over there to see any area events that maybe happening this weekend!

All Things Baby

Since I am officially 36 weeks pregnant today you could guess that most of what is on my mind centers around this baby. For months I have been stocking up on items I know we are going to need and getting my hand on every baby coupon I can find so I can continue to save money when buying necessary baby items! In today's post I want to give you some baby brand sites that I highly recommend signing up for in order to save the most on baby products. My thought is if you are going to buy diapers, wipes and baby food anyway why not use a coupon and save some money while you are at it! Here are the sites I have benefited from the most.

Pampers
You will receive valuable high dollar coupons by mail for diapers and other products as well as FREE samples! Don't forget to check out their Gifts to Grow program while you are there where you can earn points for FREE stuff!

Huggies
You will receive valuable high dollar coupons by mail for diapers and other products along with FREE samples!

Enfamil
You will receive many coupons by mail worth $5 or more to use on formula! You will also get FREE samples and a diaper bag!

Similac
You get the same benefits as Enfamil

Gerber and Nestle Goodstart
You will receive by mail valuable coupons to use on formula, baby food and baby items like clothing, cups, and spoons!

For other great online resources be sure to visit Baby Cheapskate's post here! While you are there be sure to also read this blogger's 5 ways to save BIG on disposable diapers. I have implemented many of her tips and have saved a TON of money!

If you aren't a mommy of a little one you may know someone or have a friend that would greatly benefit from this info so be sure to pass it on!

Happy Thursday!

Kraft Catalina money maker!

I was just reading here about a Kraft catalina at Kroger this week. Since Dillons is affiliated with Kroger this catalina deal should work at our local Dillons as well. Here is the deal:

• Buy 4 Kraft BBQ sauce (16 oz. or larger) and get a catalina for $2 off your next purchase
• Buy 5 Kraft BBQ sauce (16 oz. or larger) and get a catalina for $2.50 off your next purchase
• Buy 6 Kraft BBQ sauce (16 oz. or larger) and get a catalinafor $3 off your next purchase

You can print $1/1 Kraft coupons here or use .75/1 coupons from this weekend's recent inserts. Here is a deal you can do:

• Buy 4 Kraft BBQ sauces priced at 1.08 (this is what they were priced at 2 days ago when I was there)=4.32
• Use 4 1/1 coupons here or .75/1 coupons from recent inserts or a combo of both=-$4.00
• Total OOP=.32 +tax and you get a couopn for $2 off your next purchase!

That is overage of $1.68!!! You can also buy more and make more overage it just depends on how many coupons you can print or have!

Be sure you don't miss all the FREEBIES to be had with other Kraft Printables at Target!

Homeade Applesauce

I often times can find 3 lb. bags of apples marked down to a $1 at most of our local Dillons. When I do I usually use these to make applesauce since quite a few of the apples might have some bruises.

Homemade Cinnamon Apple Sauce (this is the smaller version that I usually triple)

• 4 medium size apples ( I have used all kinds and think it tastes great every time)
• 3/4 c. water
• 1/4 c. sugar
• How every shakes of cinnamon you want (probably 3-4) (leave out if you want plain applesauce)
  

I simply peel, core and cut apples into quarters. I then combine them in a big enough pan with the water, sugar and cinnamon and cook on medium heat until the apples are soft (about 20 minutes or so). I put the apples and remaining water into a blender or processor and puree it.

I store my applesauce in an air tight container in the fridge. I have found that the applesauce stays good for quite a while.

Most often when I make this recipe I triple it since there are about 10-12 apples in a 3lb. bag. I figure this actually makes about 2-3 big jars worth. So considering 1 jar of applesauce can cost around $1.50 making your own apple sauce can save you money!

Dillons: Kraft Deals

Okay so until close tomorrow all these prices are good on Kraft products at Dillons!

• Kraft Natural Cheese=1.66/1 (use 1/2 coupon here to get these for only 1.16/bag!)

Sunday: Mother's day dinner with my family
Monday: Left over mother's day dinner (my parents were sweet and sent the leftovers home with us!)
Tuesday: Hamburger Potato Bake
Wednesday: Chicken nuggets/mashed potatoes and corn
Thursday: Biscuits and gravy
Friday: Pizza
Saturday: Dinner with my family again (in honor of my brother coming home for the weekend)

I will have some sort of frugal recipe posted tomorrow, but I am unsure of what that is:) If you have a recipe you would like to see posted on this blog be sure to email me!
