A few days off....

Good morning everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I had to take a few days off from blogging. Along with starting to home school my 3rd grade son, I had to get some sewing out of my system. The home school has been trial and error for the first couple of weeks, but we seem to be on a better path now.

I was also able to get some much needed sewing out of my system which has led to some possible contacts that I am most grateful for! You can now find my sewing projects on facebook! Search for "Meme's Treasures" in the search box and LIKE my page to see all the pictures. I have placed a few pictures here for you to see!!

I hope to be back up to speed with blogging in the next few days and I look forward to many post ahead!

Thanks again! Misty

Recipe of the Day

Okay, so after yesterday's Chocolate Waffles , I decided to experiment with this awesome Pizza Pocket recipe found on Heavenly Homemakers blog. Her blog was one of the many that I was perusing over while looking for meal and lunch ideas, and I must say that I will be a frequent flier now!

Just this weekend, my big 37 year old husband/boy, decided that he wanted pizza pockets for supper. Have you ever really looked to see how much sodium is in those things! WOW! This is surely a healthier alternative! I tried them out today and they were a hit with me and my son....we'll wait till a later day to introduce them to the hubs! This recipe made enough for us to have at least 4 lunches, we added Turkey Pepperoni. Enjoy!

Ingredients, including Turkey Pepperoni
First 9 pockets, these are easy!
Finished product with a little Ranch or Ketchup!

Wednesday Wow!

I didn't strive for a huge savings this week, but any savings is good for me! I was not impressed with the sales ads this week and only went out for a few things to buy with coupons. This is what I got at Wal-Mart and Publix.


Wal-Mart $2.38 pre-tax
Wal-Mart
  • Buy 2 boxes of Cinnabon Cereal at $2 each, use 2-75¢ Cinnabon cereal coupons from the 8/8 Red Plum insert.
  • Buy 4 travel size Shout to Go wipes at 97¢ each, use 2-$2 off any 2 Shout products coupon from the 8/8 Smart Source insert which will in turn give you 12¢ overage applied to total. 
  • Spend 2.38 pre-tax for all, average of 40¢ per item!

Publix
  • Buy 4 bags of Tyson frozen chicken on sale for $6.59 and Buy 1 Get 1. Then use 2-$1.00 off any Tyson frozen chicken, and 2-$1.50 off any Tyson Anytizzer chicken spirals which is from the same coupon group (first 5 of bar code on package matches first 5 on coupon).
  • Spend $8.18 pre-tax for all, average of $2.05 each, total savings of $18.16!
