I flew to Denver late Friday night and drove back to Atlanta to bring my son and his car home.. Nothing like going from 3 1/2 hours in a plane, to 24 hours in the car.. Made it home at 6 am yesterday morning
Haven't shopped in weeks
We are packing and I am getting on the road again.. We have 3 days until we leave for Disney
Great way to save!
Was crazy here too. Local Facebook group someone said they were at Dollar Tree when it opened and couldn't even get a paper because they had presold (held) them for people who had phoned in on Saturday! She said people were walking out with cart fulls of them, that is nuts. I pretty much just get my delivered paper and a few from relatives anymore. It's too much of a sport for me and I don't even get up early enough to go hunt a paper.
We save our change too, and every few months we have over $50 and get a Starbucks card. I think it's my turn from the batch in there now, as DH got the last one. I never thought of throwing actual gift cards in there, that is a neat idea!
The giftcards are a great way to help us save. I have a few of the Hardee's gc's that I got from mycokerewards. My DD won a free years subscription to Netflix shortly after I had already signed up for it, so we agreed that I would take that $15 netflix fee and buy a disney GC with it each month for the year(much harder to spend a GC when there isn't any disney stores around us..so easy save), and anytime I have O at T or get a few T GC's saved up, I buy a disney or restaraunt gc and put it in the jar. I have also amassed a few disney and gas gc's from walgreens. We recently received $150 in visa GC's from cell phone rebates, which were only good till Dec 2011 (couldn't save them for our trip in 2012), so I took them to walgreens and turned them in disney gc's. It is amazing all the ways to save without actually tapping into your everyday budget.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of a christmas basket with home-made goodies. that's what I've been planning do for christmas this year. except i haven't managed to do any preserving cos of pain, so I figured I would do canisters of recipe mixes:
soup
cookies
cakes
rice pilaf
couscous
fajita rub
etc....
and attach recipe cards to them. all organic of course.
haven't thought it through fully, but I might make em thematic... so one would be like fajita rub, black bean mix etc... and then one could be all cookies and so forth. or maybe I'll do it as a meal in a basket. appetizer, entree, side dish, dessert.
habanero hot sauce sounds fab! check out dave's gourmet hurtin' habanero sauces and hurtin' habanero honey mustard some time. we LOVE them both. might give your DH ideas for the future.
apples, we get premade sheets of phyllo or puff pastry. toss cut apples in lemon juice, brown sugar and cinnamon. put into pastry strips and fold over , then crimp edges, to make rectangular hand pies. brush with a melted sugar and butter mixture. bake in oven.
yummy hand pies!
in summer we do a similar thing with strawberries or blueberries. it's much like homemade pop tarts for breakfast. i pick whole wheat pastry and so it's even healthier.

Have fun at Disney, I can't wait to go back. I hear this is a good time of year to go.
On to apple news, I made this [allrecipes.com] today and it is GOOD! I doubled the apples and added some cinnamon and fresh grated nutmeg to the batter. My playgroup will be happy tomorrow!
The apple pie is cooling for tonight and we're off to Chick-fil-a for my son's school fundraiser. I love that their coupons expire, but they will take them forever. I have a huge pile and use at least 3 each time.
Wow That's a crazy trip!

We have been in May (way too hot), been in June (even worse.. hot and crowded), been in December (this was my all time favorite trip!) and now, we are trying a fall visit
Add me to the apple-dumpling-crescent-rolls-and-tons-'o-butter-'n-sugar fan club
Thanks! It is supposed to be a nice time to visit.. We have never gone in the fall..

Have a wonderful time at Disney.
Our last trip in 2010, we stayed for 9nights 10days. It was soo much fun, In May we will be going for about the same amount of time again. However, the cost is much higher due to the fact that I have to pay for my DS15 to go with the school band to perform in the main street parade. So I have to pay for separate room and travel expenses, plus some other expenses that we would normal not have or would be included in our stay amount. But definately a once in a lifetime experience for him (he plays the Tuba). No matter the cost, I will NOT pass up going to go watch him. Told my DH that although we have never charged a vacation on our CC, that this one is definately charge worthy, if need be. So save, save, save is what I am doing.
This will likely be our last big vacation until 2015. Why? lol Because that is the year that my DS will graduate HS, DD will graduate College, DH & I will celebrate our 20th anniversary and we will officially pay our last mortgage payment early in 2015!!! So deemed this to be enough to cause a major vacation celebration. Plans are to do a Disney cruise and land package for 2 weeks at least. And it will take me that long to save enough to go again. LOL

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it should include some extra soft toilet paper and diaper wipes.
And for the second part - I always laugh out loud when I read your posts.
both contain SLS/SLES (sodium laurel sulfate/sodium laureth sulfate). in the case of method it is hidden in the description. in the case of 7th gen, it is plainly written but at the back of the label that is affixed to the bottle
and given the research on links to pregnancy impacts, birth defects, eyesight, impact on children etc, i am going to be looking for alternatives. i am sad. here i thought i had found something great.
one of the posters on the Method thread likes biokleen a lot. it has hefty eco-cred online and lots of great reviews.
anyone here tried the biokleen dish detergent, handwash, or laundry detergent? thanks!
....
apple butter... you could do a breakfast themed basket....
include a canister of a homemade scone mix
a canister of some homemade muffin mix or maybe some breakfast bread with which you'd have apple butter.
maybe a homemade pancake mix.
add in some dried fruit that folks can use for baking.
home made cinnamon chips (or the cinnamon cereal recipe that someone here posted)
habanero sauce... ahh there are so many possibilities with that.
the obvious one of course is to do a tex mex basket.
fajita rub.
black beans.
home made taco shells.
home made tortilla chips.
maybe put it all in a molcajete (a mexican mortar and pestle used for making guacamole, made of special lava rock).
if it's someone local, you could put in a couple of avocados and some limes in there. or include a bottle of pasteurized lime juice.
a margarita mix if your recipients drink.
and then of course include recipes for each thing.
we use our habanero sauce for so much - hash browns, chicken, shrimp and beef marinades, baked sweet potatoes etc.
it's awesome!
well done!
no disney trip here either, but we use gcs to save, too. i have a box where i stash all gcs so they're easy to find. any cards we have that we won't use, we sell off on ebay or plastic jungle and put the money towards savings. the ones we will/can use for things we need, we turn to all the time.
I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it should include some extra soft toilet paper and diaper wipes.
and she's baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
My ds#2 flushed a hot wheels car in the toilet and DH is scaring me with lots of plumbing storires, and i serious dont want to use that toilet.. any ideas how to deal with it???
going busy for me with my SIL at my home with little infant (she is back from hospital and from her home to my home).. I have constant worl with SIL is recuperating. she is having tough time since her delivery with worst episiotomy, later UTI, so we thought it would be better if she comes back here, so i could take care of her. so far good, but it is too tiring for me, but no complains though, i love girl babies and this little baby is making me more & more consious that we dont have a little daughter :

I was regretting yesterday when i kind of missed the method deal, since only 20% off with the gift certificate and i didn't buy it..
Also, do you know guys the sb bogo takes the whole $9.99 (on higher priced item)..looks like a nice deal
The rewards come around the first of the year. There should be some nice tax software FAR deals then. Rewards can also be used for shipping and postage stamps.
You can also increase the rewards with the ink recycling. OD takes anything. All they ever do is count them.
I think Staples is better in many ways... but we don't have a Staples here.
