Menu Plan Monday

This week we will be having...

Monday - Santa Fe Turkey Burgers (We actually didn't have this last week as planned) I buy these burgers at Martin's. They are pretty inexpensive and YUMMY. We eat them on whole wheat pitas with a little lite mayo (spicy mustard for me please!) and tomato. We normally don't have a side dish with them.

Tuesday - BBQ Chicken and Veggies - Chicken breasts cooked on the grill with the AWESOME Boss Hogg BBQ Seasoning Salt. Locally made in Warsaw! We get ours at Wal-Mart. You can get yours here.

Wednesday - Crock Pot Chicken - chicken breasts thrown in the crock pot with chicken broth, carrots, potatoes, celery...a chicken 'pot roast' of sorts.

Thursday - Leftovers

Friday - Homemade Pizzas

Saturday - Chicken Lo Mein

Also! On Kraftfoods.com, you can download $50 worth of coupons - including one for $1.00 two packages of Oscar Meyer hotdogs! Combine that with the Meijer coupon I linked before and you'll get two packages of hot dogs for $0.50! Pretty sweet!

Bargains of the week

In my attempt to become a Coupon Queen, I'm going to share some of my findings so you can join in on the savings!

Right now I'm focusing on Meijer. Even though they have TERRIBLE customer service, if you go early enough in the week they aren't busy and they still have the sale items in stock. (Go later in the week and you will find bare shelves...but I digress...) Here's what I've found so far...

DiGiorno Pizza on sale for $3.33
$1.25 off Manufacturer's Coupon here.
$1.00 Meijer Coupon here.
Final Price - $1.08! (the coupons are specifically for Thin and Crispy Crust - which is perfect for us!)

Oscar Meyer HotDogs on sale for $1.25
$1.00 off 2 Coupon here.
Final price - $0.75! (Freeze for those Memorial Day Cookouts!)

More to come!

Brenna took a ride on Riley's battery operated 4 wheeler the other day. She sat on it really well! The she actually pushed the button that makes it move! I followed close behind to make sure she didn't fall off, but she was a pro. She loved it! I see a Harley and leather chaps in her future!

Mary Kay has their own youtube channel!

An awesome new way to learn about new products and promotions!

Big day of errands planned for the kiddos and I. Grocery Shopping, bank, and the library. We are lucky enough to have access to a beautiful, very kid friendly library. However - I'm getting frustrated because they never have the books that I want to read! Their adult section leaves a lot to be desired...guess I'll be reading Twilight for the fourth time! *Note to Micah B. - the more I read it, the more Edward grows on me...can I be Team Jacward? ;-)*

Hello Friend.

I planted some seeds and sat them in my kitchen window - hoping the inner gardener in me would come out and something would sprout...this is what I saw this morning when I went to water them. :-)

The two on the far left are sunflowers, the next few are tomatoes (little, teeny sprouts showing on those!) Nothing on the peppers just yet...but I'm so happy my sunflowers are peeking out!
