3 cans of formula for a $1!!!

If you are in the baby phase of life you might be curious to know how I got 3 cans of formula for only a $1. When I have a baby I make sure I sign up at all the formula companies websites to get their coupons in the event that I might need to use formula. In the past few months my mailbox has been full of them so I put some to good use.

Nestle Goodstart sent me $11/1 can of formula coupons and I knew I would be able to get some cheap formula. When I was at Dillons the other day I noticed that the small cans of Nestle Goodstart formula (regular kind) were only 8.97. I knew right away I could get at least 1 can for free and then I saw that there is a catalina promotion going on until 8/9/09. When you buy 3 cans of Nestle Goodstart formula you get a $3 off your next purchase catalina back. So here is what I did with the coupons I had:

• Bought 3 cans of Nestle Goodstart at 8.97/1=26.91
• Use 2 $11/1 formula coupons/checks=-$22
• Use 1 $1/1 formula coupon/check=-$1

Total OOP for 3 cans=3.91 and get $3 back making all 3 of these cans only .91!!!!

Even though I am not planning on needing formula, I may end up using it. Even if I don't I can still give the formula I don't use away to friends!

Keep Your Eyes Peeled

For those of you in Topeka who are Dillons shoppers be sure you keep your eyes peeled for a coupon to the Roundabout Cafe located in the shopping center near 21st and Urish.

The coupon will be located on the back of your Dillon's receipt and is good for one FREE PASTRY WITH SPECIALTY DRINK PURCHASE. From what I hear this place is awesome and the pastries are HUGE!

Even if you don't have the coupon be sure to stop in and check the place out! Lets make sure we keep these unique non franchised places around:) For more info about this cafe please read the article here!

Financial Freedom Seminar

Many of you who know me know that my husband and I are involved with a ministry called Crown Financial Ministries. This ministry is what helped us learn how to wisely handle our finances and what inspired me to learn how to live frugally.

I mention this because I just heard that there is going to be a seminar is Rossville, KS this August. I know that I have big reader base out of Rossville and wanted to make sure all of you who live there know of this great opportunity. Of course outside residents are more than encouraged to attend also!

Menu Plan Monday

Can you believe this is the 1st week since Levi was born (picture soon to come) that I have had to think about a menu! We have been very blessed with friends and family bringing us meals. So it looks like I will be getting back into the swing of menu planning again. Below is what I think our week will look like, but it will likely change:)

Sunday: Big dinner with Family for Grandma's b-day
Monday: Hamburgers on the grill with grilled veggies
Tuesday: Lasagna, salad, and bread
Wednesday: Ritzy Chicken, salad, and bread
Thursday: Most likely left overs, but if not then Egg and bacon sandwiches
Friday-Saturday: out of town:)

I hope you all have a great week! Tomorrow I will share what veggies we put on the grill:)
