Walmart shoppin'

I got some fantastic deals at Walmart today! Here's today's highlights:

2 Glade Lasting Impressions $5 each - (2) $4 coupons = $2/both

Betty Crocker twin pack of Au Gratin potatoes were marked down to $1. I didn't have a coupon on me, but that's a great price.

2 boxes Special K 100 calorie cereal packs...clearanced to $1 each, used $1/2 coupon = 1.00/both

Caress bar soap $2.47-$1.00 coupon = $1.47

All Small and Mighty $4.97- $2 coupon= $2.97 (not the best price, but the coupon was about to expire so it was good enough)

Dog toy $2.97-$1.00 coupon= $1.97

dog toy $2.04 - $1.00 coupon = $1.04

2 Country Crock tubs $1.62 each - (2) .45 coupons = $2.34/both

High School musical make it yourself pillow...I forget how much these were at Christmas, but they weren't cheap...on clearance for $2

Now, there were 3 Vive for Men shampoos on the clearance rack, and I KNOW it said $1 on them and I had $1 coupons, but they rang up for $2 each and I didn't catch it. I don't know if I am going to take them back or not.

I bought several other things and my subtotal before coupons was $71.27, and after $39.37

**********************************

Arby's will be having Wed. freebies! I hear it's for several weeks, and they gave me a flier for May, but I left it in the car. I know the first week is free fruit tea. One week was a free Roastburger with a drink purchase. The flier said coupon required, but I don't know if they are going to send one out in the paper or what. If you haven't signed up for their emails, right now is probably a good time to do it.

I also make money doing surveys. One of the best ones is MySurvey. You do surveys for points, and you trade them for prizes or cold hard cash. Sometimes, the survey will say it's a small amount of points, but when you answer a few questions, if you match the criteria they are looking for, they offer you more points. They have also sent me TONS of free stuff to try out. I posted a button over to the left, click on it to get started.

**********************************

CVS has Post Trail mix for $2.50. Go here for a $2 coupon: http://www.postcereals.com/trailmixcrunch/

**********************************

You can get a free cup or cone at participating TCBY's on Mother's day

**********************************

I have several children's Claritin $3 off coupons that expire June 30. I am sure I will not use them. If anyone wants a couple, send me an email. :) I will send the first 3 people to email about them 2.

**********************************

Have a great shopping day!

Walgreens and Kroger

ok, here's what I got a Walgreens today:

2 Neosporin- $4 each
1 Band-aid- $3

I used 2 $1 Neosporin coupons, making the total for them $9 and I got back a $4 RR. Not free, but my kids tend to hurt themselves a lot during the summer. I should have had $1 on the Band aid, but I couldn't find it, so I may have used them all on Diego band aids at Walmart (they are $1.24 for a small pack)

Air Wick I-motion $4.99, and I used a $4 coupon

Nivea Body wash $4.99, I used a $1 coupon and got back a $5 RR, making $1.01 profit.

I paid with a previous $5 RR, too.

My OOP was $10.24 after tax and I got back $9 in RR, so I can't complain. I may or may not go back tomorrow.

**************************************

I got some good deals at Kroger, too!

Pedigree Dentastix- $3.99 minus $2.50 Shortcuts coupon and $2.50 paper coupon = $1.01 profit

Free White Castle BBQ pulled pork slider: http://www.whitecastle.com/_assets/images/pulledpork_coupon.jpg

*******************************

Remember you can roll your RR's at Walgreens if you want to do all of the transactions, or can return. (you cannot roll into the same product)

For example, buy the meter for $14.99 w/ coupon, you get back a $5 RR with no OOP money.

Then, buy the Rembrandt toothpaste for $5.99, use the $5 RR plus .99 and tax, and get the RR, which may print out at $6.

Then buy the Nivea and Ecotrin, using whichever coupons you have. Make sure your total is over $6, even by a penny is fine, so you may have to buy filler items. Pay with the Rembrandt RR. You will get back RR for Nivea and Ecotrin.

Buy the Bayer, use the Ecotrin RR plus a little OOP $ to pay, and get back the Bayer RR.

Use your RR from Nivea and Bayer to buy more Rembrandt + filler items. You can use this cycle as long as they will let you.

Let me add here that I don't often do this. I don't like doing multiple transactions unless it is something I will REALLY use, and I don't have the time to go back over and over. HOWEVER, I have saved them often to use the next week, or have used them to buy things I need that I don't really have coupons for, so it's up to you. I used to use them to buy rebate items. RIP, rebates. :(

There are some monthly RR deals, too that started yesterday:

Buy 2 Nabisco cookies and 1 galloon milk and get $3RR (I hear these print even if you don't buy the milk)

Garnier Shampoos, conditioners, etc are free at CVS this week after ECB and $1 coupon. Limit 1

Schick Intuition plus is .99 after ECB and $4 coupon- limit 1

Here is a secret of stockpilers: more than one CVS card. Sign up your husband, etc. then you can do the deals more than once. Some CVS's are ok with this and don't bat an eyelash. Some don't like it AT ALL. If they don't, do the deals at multiple CVS's or on different days.

**********************

Usually, I get clothes detergent pretty cheap. I have a set limit in my head that I will pay, and a set limit I will stock up on. However, if you'd like to make your own, here is a recipe:

1/8 bar fels naptha soap
water
1 tbs borax
2 tbs washing soda

Boil 4 cups of water. Grate fels naptha into heating water and stir to dissolve. Once dissolved, turn down heat, let cool. Mix in borax and washing soda. Pour into detergent bottle, add water to fill.

This will fill a 32 load detergent bottle. You can also double/triple/whatever and store in bigger containers with lids. I would mix it every few days.

************************

Glade sent me TWO free coupons for the Sense and Sprays. What I will do is hold onto them until there is a deal with them, such as RR, ECB, or rebates. I will make note of the expiration, and if there isn't a double-play deal before they are about to expire, then I will just use them.

************************

Picture blog

Here are some pictures that I finally uploaded...the first is some of the goodies from Walmart this week...



These are some from the Easter baskets. In total, I spent about $30- $35 for all 3 baskets and there is WAY more stuff in them than anything you can buy at the store.

As I started filling:




About 1/2 full:




The end results:

Of course, you know, the candy was all gone in about a day. Gotta love it when kids bounce off of the walls.

Have a great shopping day!

Holy cow

Walgreens may turn out to be better than I thought this coming week.

I mentioned that Nivea Bodywash, Bayer Quick Release Crystals, and Rembrandt toothpaste or mouthwash would be free after RR's. It looks like there may be some other really good deals out there.

The biggest is Ecotrin. It's free after RR's, plus there is a $1 coupon out. BUT if you go to smartsource.com, there is a printable $2.25 coupon, meaning you can make a $2.25 PROFIT. You'd better hurry, because they are liable to pull it once it gets a lot of hits.

Also, Breeze 2 or Contour meters are $14.99 with a $5 RR. There were coupons out for up to $30 off in March. If you have them, it's free with a profit of $5. If you don't need them, you can donate them for people who do. :)

Got2B hair care is 2/$10 with a $5 RR. If you got the BzzAgent campaign (if you haven't signed up for BzzAgent, get on it! What are you waiting for?!) you have $2.50 coupons, leaving your final price free after RR. If you didn't, you can get $2 coupons here: http://got2b-production.s3.amazonaws.com/coupon.html Print 2, and get both for $1 after RR.

There will be a $1 coupon on Nivea coming Sunday.

Buy 3- 32 oz Gatorade (3/$3) and get a RR for 20 free digital prints

Buy Gatorade 6 pks at 2/$8 and get a RR for 75 free digital prints

I think I will be hitting up Walgreens!!!

**************************************

Do you shop at yard sales? I went today and got some really good deals. Clothes for my youngest for .25 each, a tall bookshelf for $8, an XOXO purse for $2 (I'll admit, I have a purse addiction problem...you really, REALLY don't want to know, but I have a serious purse problem), some really nice, heavy flatware for $4 for a whole new set!, toys for my kids, etc. If you don't go to yard sales, seriously consider them! You never know what you might find! We went to one that had vintage books that I nearly never dragged my husband away from. I was coveting a really old copy of Little Women, that I managed to restrain myself from.

2 Hunts ketchup $2 - $1/2= 1.00/both

2 David's sunflower seeds $1.96 - $1/2 = .96/both

I bought some other things, too, but those are the deals I got. In the end, my subtotal before coupons was $61.82, and the subtotal (before tax) after coupons was $34.55

My husband won't kill me this week.



*****************************



This is the darndest thing I have ever seen. If you are a fan of Tombstone Pizzas and buy them, there is a form to get a credit on your utility bill!!! $5, $10, or $15! Find the form here: http://www.kraftfoods.com/SiteCollectionImages/ImageRepository/7/TombstoneFlyer.pdf

Next week, these items will be free after RR at Walgreens:



Nivea Body Wash $4.99

Rembrandt Toothpaste or Mouthwash $5.99

Bayer Quick Release Crystals $2.49



****************************



I've started doing instant wins online. It's kind of fun. I've won a t-shirt, a $25 gas card, a blow up chair, things of that sort. You can go to several deal websites to find the instant wins, and someone suggested here: http://www.sweepsadvantage.com/ but I haven't tried it yet.

I wrote Glade because one of my Sense and Sprays was spazzing out and they sent me a coupon for a free one! Glade has excellent customer service!

Have a great shopping day!

Walgreens and Kroger

Boy am I tired today!

Use this coupon http://www.walgreens.com/dmi/onlineoffers/default.html?ec=hn1016f_trouble to get 15% eligible items (most things in the store) and 20% off WG brand items, PLUS a FREE green reusable shopping bag....TODAY ONLY!

I had $5 in RR's so I went to WG to get the 3/$11 A&W/Sunkist (7 up also included) in the ad...pay $11 for 3 and get $5 RR, so I wasn't going to be out anything as far as RR go. I bought those, 2 Axe 2-packs...mini ones that I am saving for stocking stuffers for my boys..they were clearanced to .75 each. I also bought a stick of Right Guard on clearance for $1 and used a $1 coupon. I got a box of Natural Instincts hair color...sale priced at $5.99 minus the $4 coupon from last week. Then I bought candy for the boys. My total after coupons was a little over $12, and I got $5 back in RR, plus I will add the Axe to my total for my ham rebate.

************************************

I saved 55% at Kroger, today, too. Some of the highlights:

6 half gallons of milk at 79 cents each..marked down. I will freeze these. Between them and the milk I bought and froze last week, I shouldn't have to buy milk all next month, unless of course some major milk catastrophe happens.

2 Suave shampoo at .88 cents each (1.76) minus $1/2 coupons = .76 both

2 Suave deodorants at $1 each ($2) minus 2 $1 off coupons = FREE

1 Bounty paper towels $1.29 minus 50 cent coupon (doubled) = .29

Kraft parmesan cheese- $1.79 marked down

2 Parkay butter packages $2 minus $1/2 coupons = $1/both

2 Ragu $1.58 each (3.16) minus 2 30 cent coupons (doubled) = $1.96 both

3 Smart Taste pastas $1.49 each (4.47) minus 3 $1 coupons = $1.47/3

2 Pillsbury brownies $2 minus 2 .35 coupons (doubled) = .60/both

3 Mc Cormick grillmates grinders $3 minus 2 .75 coupons and 1 .25 coupon (.25 doubles) = $1/all

2 Fiber Plus bars (boxes of bars) $4 minus 1 $1 and 1 .75 coupon = $2.25 both

2 packages Steamfresh $2 minus $1/2 coupon = $1 both

Now, here is the big deal (for me). There was a LOT of yogurt marked down. I am making an effort to eat breakfast now, and I have been eating a lot of yogurt.

I got 3 DanActives (4 pack) for $1.29 each minus 3 $1 coupons = .87/3

2 La Creme (4 pack) $1.19 each - 2 $1 coupons = .38 both

3 Activia (4 packs) $1.19 each - 3 $1 coupons = .57/3

That's a LOT of yogurt. I am up to the challenge. :D

Tomorrow, I'm heading out to Walmart!

Kroger is having a 10 for $10 sale. I am going to make a small trip I think.
Pillsbury Brownies are included, and there was a .35 coupon on March 29th...My Kroger doubles, so they will be .30 for me. Some Krogers triple to .35 - if yours does...LUCKY!!!! I don't really need these brownies, and if you saw my behind, you'd probably agree, but I'm buying them anyway.

McCormick Grillmates are on sale, too, and there have been $1, .50, and .75 coupons lately. With the $1 coupon, it says any McCormick spice or herb. This coupon should work.

Quaker Quakes are on the list, and there are coupons out to make them free.

Both Angel Soft toilet tissue and Lawry's Marinade are also included and should have coupons out. I need to go through my coupons and see what else I come up with.

Tums Dual Action 25 ct are $7.99 and you get a $3.00 RR There are $3 off coupons in the 4/17 All You

Post cereals are 2/$5. There is a coupon for Trail mix crunch here: http://www.postcereals.com/trailmixcrunch/ if your store has them. If you print twice, you can get 2/$1. There were also $1/2 cereals, but then the deal just isn't as good. ;)

Big Walmart, little Walgreens

There probably won't be any pictures today unless I manage to get some on later. I am having trouble with my desktop wanting to load my pictures lately, and the laptop is in the room where my husband sleeps during the day. (He works overnight.) I will look into it later. :)

I made a little money at Walgreens today.

I bought
1 pkg Scunci 18ct no damage bands- $2.00
1 Schick intuition razor...came with trial sized Dove shampoo and conditioner clearanced for $2.39-$3 coupon
1 Jane eyeshadow stick, clearanced for $2.39- $2 coupon
1 Edge shave gel $2.99 - $1 coupon

Total (with tax) was $4.36 and I got back $5 in RR.

Now, I totally could have done more transactions and rolled my RR, including the Dove/Degree etc, or the Chapstick that is free after RR, but I didn't for 3 reasons:

I am overstocked on soap and deodorant as it is, most of the trial sized was gone, and I was in a hurry. I may or may not go back and do the Dove anyway because I need to buy a few more things for my ham rebate, but I just did not have time today.

***************************

Walmart was a great trip!

I won't list everything because I bought some things w/o coupons *gasp*, but here are the deals I got:

1 Leapfrog baby learning disc clearance for $5 - $5q = FREE
1 Leapfrog baby learning disk clearance for $3 - $5q (yes, I got overage! I love that cashier!) = FREE + $2 profit! (these coupons came from coupons.com- link to the left)
1 Crunch and Munch $1- .50q = .50
2 Glade Lasting Impressions $10 - (2) $4q's = $2/both
1 Oil of Olay facial cleaning mousse Clearance for $2 - $1q = $1
1 Oil of Olay anti aging something- Clearance for $2 - $3q (overage ) = Free plus $1 profit!
1 Durex Play tingling $4.24- $4q = .24
1 Dentek floss $1 - $1q = FREE
1 Good Life cat food $4.77 - $2q = $2.77
1 Viva paper towel $1.18 - $1q = .18
1 Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara $6.47- free coupon= FREE
1 Rimmel foundation Clearance for $1 - $1 coupon = FREE
2 Taco Bell taco kits $3.84 - (2) $1q's = $1.84/2
1 McCormick seasoning .88- .25q = .63
4 Vitamin waters $4 - (4) $1q's = FREE

They also had Honeysuckle White turkey breasts on sale for .98/lb, so I bought one. I don't know if it was leftover from Easter or that's the sale price or what.

*****************************

I hear a lot of Kamrts will be doubling coupons again next week! Email them at their website and ask if yours is!

*****************************

Kroger has been running John Morrell polish sausage BOGOF for a while now. I use one pack of these for all 5 of us. I put a little oil in my large skillet, add diced potato (I leave the skin on) and let it cook a little while, stirring occasionally. When they are about halfway done, I add diced onion. I then cut the sausages first into slices, then cut the slices in half and add them to the potato mix when it is nearly done and cook it the rest of the way together. It makes a lot. We eat it alone, or sometimes I scramble some eggs to go with it. It's a nice, cheap meal!

Tuesday Misc.

Good afternoon from allergy central! I have been sneezing my head off all day!



I thought I'd just blog about some random things today, the first being Walgreens. There is a register reward deal for Dove (also includes other products- Degree, Caress, etc) Buy 4 & get $2 RR or buy 6 or more & get $6 RR. I have heard the trial deodorants are working on this. There are also clearanced Axe products and Degree products that you can match up with coupons from the Unilever insert weekend before last that will work. These all count (the before coupon price) for the free ham or turkey promotion from Unilever. So do the free Suave deodorants from Kroger. :)

You can take these RR's and roll them into the free after RR items.

**************************

I want to tell you to be wary of Spot Shot carpet cleaner. It ruined my carpet. It left weird black gummy spots on it. I wrote them about my experience, and they called and offered to send someone to see if it could be professionally cleaned. They even asked for a sample of my carpet, which I had from remodelling my bathroom. (It was there when I got the house, not my idea!) This was over 2 months ago. No one ever called, the sample is still here...I'd rather they would have just said "Sorry about your luck" than promise me something and not follow through. So, I thought I'd let you know.

**************************

On another note...I bought several of the Bertolli Oven Bakes at the Kroger sale (they are supposed to remain on sale through the 25th, I think) and let me say....these things are dangerous. I love them. LOVE. It's like a little piece of heaven in your oven. I'm going to be so sad when the sale is over. :(

Happy Easter!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter!

Walmart and Easter

HOLY.COW.





Walmart was a MADHOUSE today!





I had a headache when I got there...it was worse when I left. I do not like crowds. It never occured to me it would be that busy today. ANYWAY, I had to look for things for the boys' Easter baskets. I also needed to do some other shopping.





A lot of the clearance things they had last week had been picked over. There are still a lot of dog clothes. $5. I am eyeballoing them to go down some more. I like to dress my dog on the cheap. That sound you are hearing is my husband's eyes rolling. Pay him no mind.

Isn't she cute? That's her $4 dress that I couldn't turn down.

ANYWAY...I got my Olay soap, although they have raised the price now to $2.48, I still bought it because I just love Olay.

If you have the $1.50/1 Kraft dressing coupons, dressing is rolled back to $1.58.

The $1.50/Kraft cheese price is cheaper than even the Walmart brand. I bought several.

The Airheads Extreme are 64 cents at the checkout, and I had 55 cent off coupons. :) That was the boys' treat for unloading the car for me when I got home.

As far as the Easter baskets go, I bought these buckets that were $1 each. I will fill those. I don't buy the grass. I hate that stuff, it's not good for anything but clogging up a vacuum cleaner. I bought several packages of candy that had 3 or more things inside it. I can divide them that way. Between that and the stuff I bought at Walgreens the other day, they should have nice baskets. I will post pictures when I get them together.

I was also in search for the cheap veggie seeds that most places around here carry. WM was out. Walgreens was out (though I did stay long enough to get a rain check for the Crayola crayons they had in the ad, but never had on the shelves), Dollar Tree was out...I guess a lot of people want gardens this year. I have started some seeds, but I want more. I refuse to pay $1 pack when I get the very same seeds for 20 cents, so I am waiting it out. Impatiently.

I guess that's about all of the exciting things that happened today.

Have a great shopping day!

I got the Got2B Smooth Operator Smoothing Luster Lotion campaign from BzzAgent. I tried it this morning. My hair has been so crazy with all of the weather changes! So, I put this stuff in my hair after I towel dried it. It really feels like lotion in your hand, but disappears into your hair easily. After I put it in, I combed it through, and the comb just slid through so easily! It had a nice scent, too. Anyway, I dried my hair with the hair dryer and it is so soft and smooth! I love it!! There are no flyaways, no frizz. I really like this product, and I will probably buy it in the future!

*******************************

I would love to hear about products you love or don't love. Drop me an email at dimestretchermom@gmail.com and let me know what is a hit or miss with you!

******************************

Here's a frugal tip:
Every time we have leftover veggies, I pop them into a big Tupperware dish in my freezer. Sometimes I add little pieces of meat like leftover chicken or roast. When it's full, I thaw it, put it in a pot with some tomato juice, water, and beef boullion or broth, and add anything I would like in...such as onion, chopped potatoes, noodles, etc. Simmer it until it's hot or the fresh veggies/pasta is done and you have leftover soup. It keeps you from tossing perfectly good leftovers!

OOPS! I forgot!

Walmart has Oil of Olay 2 packs of soap for $1.97. The most recent P&G insert had $2 coupons, so free Oil of Olay soap!!! Hooray!

I think I'm going to have to start backing off the soap a little, or else start looking for a new stockpile place. I have so many Johnson's Buddies and Dove it's a little scary..and I've given a lot away!

Oh, well....at least we'll be clean!

Hooray!

My Campbells tomato seeds came today! The packet looks like a tomato soup can. How cute. A $1/5 coupon came with it.

There was also a coupon on http://www.campbellskitchen.com/ for $1/2 cooking soups which is awesome!

*****************************************

I went to Walgreens today to get my Diet Coke. Heaven knows I need my caffiene fix. I almost passed out when I got there and the Coke display was empty. Luckily, the Coke man showed up while I was still there. Got my 5 12 packs and I am a happy girl.

I also bought a lot of candy for the kids' Easter baskets. There were a lot of coupons for certain candies for .39 each, etc. Putting together 3 Easter baskets is not cheap, but I still can put together a better one than any premade one sold in stores.

****************************************

After I left Walgreens, I went to KMart. I had heard some Bissel Spot Shots were ringing up for $13 at some Kmart stores. (reg. $129!) Sadly, not mine.

Mine DID have a lot of cool notebooks, to do lists, notepads, etc on clearance CHEAP. I bought several and spent less than $6. I am a bit of an office supply addict. I really have no idea why.

Have a great shopping day.

It's a new week!

My sister was in this past week with my niece and I had a great time playing with her. She is almost 9 months and just an angel. <3 My kids are on spring break this week, so I won't be shopping a lot, but I will be keeping up with things. Taking kids shopping kills a budget. **************************
Here are some of the things I bought at Kroger yesterday. For those of you who get triples, I am jealous. :)

3 Fiber One bars @ 2.49 each...minus (3) .50 coupons, doubled...$1.49 each. Got free milk for buying 3. So, $4.47 for all 3 plus milk.

Kroger's version of Kraft delux mac and cheese was on sale for $1.09

Ronzoni Smart Taste elbow macaroni $1.25 (closeout)- $1.00 coupon

Sister Schubert Rolls...$2.50 each minus $1 coupons...$1.50 (these are soooo good)

Kroger Self rising flour $1.99- .45 coupon in the booklet I just got from Kroger in the mail

Glade Lasting Impressions $5.49- $4 coupon

Healthy choice Naturals meal $2.49 minus $1 coupon from Kroger, minus 50 cent coupon from Shortcuts

Bakers Secret cookie sheet $3.49 on sale, minus $2 coupon from Kroger

Duncan Hines cake mix..$1 minus 35 cent coupon, doubled.

3 Johnson's Buddies soaps ($1.09 each) minus $3/3 catalina. Produced a $2.50/3 catalina for buying them.

There really wasn't a lot on the mark down tables. Bummer.

Bertolli frozen dinners are $4.98. This is an incredible price. It includes the oven bakes, too. There is a $2 off coupon here: http://www.villabertolli.com/registration_ovenbaked.aspx

******************************

Here is a coupon for $5 off of $25 at Rite Aid. This would be good to use when buying your rebate items.

******************************

Walgreens has Colgate Total for $3.49 with a $3.49 RR back. If you have the $1 coupon from All You, or the 75 cent coupon from the inserts, this is a money maker. Remember, you can only get 1 RR on the same item per order, and they do not roll. (You cannot use the RR to buy another Colgate total and get another RR to print)

Betty Crocker Cake or brownie mix is 2/$3, and you get a $1 rr when you buy 2. There were also $1/2 coupons out. So, after coupon and RR, they end up being 2/$1

Lipton tea is $1.99 with the in ad coupon. Use the 60 cent coupon from January for some cheap tea!

Oust air sanitizer is $2.99 with $1 rebate. Use the $2 coupon from March to get it free. Limit 4 rebates.

Glade lasting Impressions are free after rebate and $4 coupon.

*note...I do not list all sales, just ones I think are pretty good. Be sure to look at your ad before you go!

My seedlings for my garden are about ready to plant....and it's turned off cold. :( Hopefully this weekend... *sigh* I am anxious for fresh veggies

***********************************

If you have Mennonites/Amish nearby to where you live that sell goods, check with them. Sometimes they have things early if they have planted in greenhouses. They are a lot cheaper than stores and the produce is fresher. Some of the ones around here also sell homemade jellies and jams, and some even sell baked goods.

**********************************

I have been buying a lot of breads lately from the grocery on the markdown table. Usually, they have a couple of days left in them. Most can just be heated with dinner and are very cheap. They also come in flavors, etc that you may not make at home.

**********************************

I did get a good recipe for easy homemade bread..

1 1/4 c warm water
1 package granulated yeast
2 Tbs melted shortening or oil
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt (optional...I did not use it)

Mix and add 2 cups of self rising flour. Beat 200 times with spoon. Add and mix in 1 cup more flour. Pour into greased loaf pan and let rise about 1 hour. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes.

***********************************

Walmart has Green Giant steamers back at $1/bag again. They also have Kraft shredded or block cheese (8oz) for $1.50.

I saw peelies on the 97 cent Glade sprays to get $2 off of Glade Fabric refresher. I bought 2 sprays, using a BOGOF coupon and used 2 peelies on the fabric refreshers...it ended up being about $3.95 for all 4 and I'm a bit of a fabric refresher addict.

***********************************
