What's the deal?

Seriously what is the deal with me and why isn't Hy-Vee's ad posted yet?? :)

Well the quick of it is my little one has ear infection #3 and my oldest has just turned 3 with a vengeance. So if I am not holding and cuddling the 1 I am disciplining the other and that does not leave me much time to blog at the current moment.

Oh and did I mention my children have been up at 6:00 a.m. the past 2 mornings... good thing I get up at 5:30 so the coffee has kicked in by then:)

I am getting to work on Hy-Vee right now but no promises:)

Dillons: 2/3-2/8

I have updated the Mega Event item list below. I have tried to highlight in BLUE the items where I know the price has changed from last week.

Here are the best deals I see for the week. My goal here is post the items that I think you can get for less than shopping at Aldi because if you can beat the Aldi price you know it is a GOOD DEAL! Some items don't beat the Aldi price, but still might be a great price if it is name brand.

Menu Plan Monday

Well now that birthday week is over it is time for some normalcy around here again (and less sugar!) Here is our week...red beans and rice carries over because I never got to it. Probably because I know there will be a fight with the 3 year old about it:)

Sunday: Ritzy chicken with steamed broccoli
Monday: Cheeseburger rolls with broccoli salad (Check out how my friend Hannah makes these over here... pretty creative!)
Tuesday: Red Beans and rice with bread
Wednesday: Beef Potato Bake with green beans
Thursday: Left overs
Friday: Pizza with veggies and dip

I will post the recipe I use for red beans and rice tomorrow!
