crappy coupons

The coupons have been really crappy lately.

We used to buy extra newspapers but haven't the past few weeks
because there is nothing in the inserts we use.

Hope companies start to take notice soon..If you want people to buy your
latest adgreatest new flavored item give us some incentive.

I am perfectly happy living in a rut and buying the same items I already enjoy.
Just saying !

Hope the coupons are better tomorrow....Anybody listening?

out of stock... AGAIN

Recently my frustration level hit an all time high.

We have one grocery store in this area who is infamous for putting out an add but rarely having the items in stock.

The store manager, whom I know well, blames it on corporate ordering low quantites...

We have lived here for 7 years and this has been an ongoing problem.

Here's a tip: Don't spend money on an expensive ad if you are not going to have the items...
I am not a buyer nor do I pay one on TV but this seems really dumb...

Spend the money to buy the items, stock the store properly and you know what people might stop laughing at you.

In the meanitme, I  will stick with my regular grocery store. They may be a little more epxensive in some cases but they have what I need in stock...and they are not yanking my chain...

tomato pie

Monday night I made a tomato pie.

It was pictured on the front cover of food network magazine.

I made some changes, of course.

I sued beautiful tomatoes from the farmers market, vidalia onions
and a store bought pie crust. Sorry I dont bake, period...

Also changed the cheese to what I had  at home.

Okay, bottom line.  It was great..We had leftovers for lunch
on Tuesday and I dont think the entire pie cost $5..Divided by
2 for 2 people and then divided by 2 for an additional meal and
this was a fabulous deal.

Would love to see summertime treats you make for your family.

Stay cool. It's a hot one out there

organize organize organize

I can't say that enough.

We just completed a kitchen remodel and as we put the kitchen
cabinets back together we realized our cabinets had become a black hole.

Things went in, got disorganized and when we cleaned things out we were
shocked how long ago some things had expired.

So with our new nifty organized cabinets we have a different layout of the
cabinets to avoid that ever happening again.

One shelf is for "about to expire" items..I think it will be a good system.


I'd love to hear anyone's ideas on how they stay organized.

I save alot with coupons so I can treat myself to vacations and now
a beautiful kitchen remodel.
