Saving Money with Menu Planning


It’s Mother’s Day and I feel like I accomplished something huge today. I planned out dinner for the next month! We are leaving for the summer in 36 days and I didn’t want to have tons of food sitting around this summer, so I inventoried my fridge, freezer, and pantry today and came up with a list of dinners that could be made using those ingredients and made a grocery list for the few other items I’ll need. (Wow…that was quite a run-on sentence!) I’m guessing I should be able to buy the remaining dinner ingredients for under $40. Although the menu isn’t extremely exciting, I think I did pretty well working with what we have. Stay tuned…I’ll be posting each week’s menu on Menu Planning Monday.

Happy Mother’s Day to all my Mommy Friends! Hope your day was very special!

Saving Time and Saving Money

We’ve all heard the saying “Time is Money” and if you’re anything like me, it usually seems like there is not enough of either. One of the biggest objections I hear to couponing is “I don’t have enough time.” I totally understand! Between being a wife, being a mom, and my job, it seems like there is not enough hours in a day. Throw in church and everything else we’re involved in and I feel totally overwhelmed at times. Enter my new time and money saving friend: The Grocery Game. The Grocery Game is a website that tracks prices at your local grocery store, matches those prices with coupons, and tells you when an item is at it’s rock bottom price. This site is really helpful and has saved me a ton of money. (For those of you who hate to spend time clipping coupons, file each weeks insert in date order and The Grocery Game will tell you which insert the coupon you want is in…that way you can just clip them when you’re ready to use them! They have a trial offer that allows you to try their site for 4 weeks for only $1. After the trial is over, they charge $10 for 8 weeks if you subscribe for one store (They charge $5 for each additional store) They have CVS and Walgreens too, but I wouldn’t recommend getting those stores. There are enough good resources on the web that offer coupon matchups for those stores. If you decide to join, I’d appreciate it if you list me as your referring friend. savingmoneylivingbetter at gmail dot com. Click here for more info about The Grocery Game!

KFC Rain Check Information

Due to overwhelming response to the coupon for the FREE Grilled Chicken meal, KFC is no longer taking these coupons. They are offering a rain check, though. Click here for more info on how to get your rain check!

Vera Bradley…Totally Worth the Splurge!

I love purses, handbags, and luggage! Unfortunately, I don’t like the cheap stuff! One of my favorite splurges is Vera Bradley! There are great colorful prints and fun patterns and best of all, you can throw them in the machine and wash them. We use Vera Bradley back packs, lunch bags, purses, duffle bags, lap top carriers, wallets, beach towels, belts, and pajamas! What can I say…we’re quite addicted! Much of what I purchase from Vera Bradley is on sale, but there are some things I’d splurge for whether they were on sale or not! I have also found that Vera does some great online promotions! Right now Vera Bradley is offering free shipping on orders of $75 or more.

Vera Bradley Designs, Inc.
If you’re looking for a great gift for someone special for Mother’s Day, check out Vera Bradley! (And if you want to send me a gift too, I’d be totally fine with that!)

Last minute deal!

I know this is very last minute, but if you happen to make it to Target by Saturday, you can take advantage of this great deal on Special K products! Right now Target is running a deal that when you buy 5 Special K products, you get a $5 Target gift card. Plus there are some great internet printables for Special K right now! Crystal over at MoneySavingMom has some great coupon matchups here and here! You just can’t beat Special K at $.39 and $.49 a box! Yummy! Also, while you’re checking out Crystal’s great coupon matchups, be sure to print some of the new coupons.com coupons for Kellogg’s Cereal! We LOVE cereal at our house!!!
