This weeks meal plan.

There is one thing that never fails to happen in my house that I am sure that most of you can understand. I ask everyone "what do you want for dinner" and the answer 99.98% of the time is "I don't know". So in order to keep my sanity I have decided to to weekly meal plans like so many fellow couponers are doing.

I will pick 7 recipes each week that I will try to make. You can make anyone on any day that you choose. If you try any of these please let me know how you like them. You can also make substitutions where needed.

1. Spicy Chicken Mac
2. Italian Orange Salad - we will use regular dressing not Fat Free
3. Chicken and Rice
4. Salad withTuna fish
5. Mini Burgers with Sweet potato fries
6. BBQ chicken w/mashed potato
7. Special Fried Rice

Happy shopping

Faithful Fridays - You CAN"T beat God's giving!

It amazes me how we sometimes think that we give alot but when I look at what GOD has done for us on a weekly basis I am simply amazed.

A few weeks ago a brother from our church, a doctor, went to Haiti with a mission group. A friend called and asked for us to donate some medical supplies like bandaids, personal care items and any non-perishable supplies that we could.

I went into our closet and 2 thoughts came into my mind. The first was "Give all but 1 or 2 of each to last until you can get more", the second was " I can't give that much, I won't have enough and I am not sure when I will get more" I said a quick prayer and went with choice number one. Two days later I cut myself and needed one of the finger bandaids that I gave away, you know what went through my mind at that point but  I smiled and said "God is good all the time"

A week or so later I went into RiteAid on a day that I had no intention on going shopping and what happens, God sent me more pads for FREE than what I gave away and today FREE powerade and pringles.

As you go through this weekend, reflect on the things that GOD has provided for you and your family this week. Putting a twist on what a fruend once told me, "You will never be as good a friend to GOD as he is to you"

Have a wonderful friday all

Check your local RiteAid

I found a great deal at RiteAid. I went in there by accident (well GOD sent me there) and saw that they had alot of the Kotex, Stayfree and Always  maxi pads, liners and O.B. tampons on clearance for 75% off the regular price. This bought most down to $1.Imagine my reaction as I stood there looking at a wall of marked down pads. Now the average person would be happy with this, pay their $1 and leave the store walking on cloud nine, but not me. I immediatly called my partner in crime aka my husband and had him check for coupons.  What did we find you ask, how about

$2 off 2 Kotek Pads printable

$2 off 2 Kotex Pads in SS 1/10/10

$1.50 off 2 Kotex liners in SS 1/10/10

BOGO Stayfree in RP 1/03/10

$1 off Stayfree on some of the packages

$1 off OB tampons in RP 1/03/10

So most of these items were free or .25 each. Not bad I must say. Some stores only had their items at 50% off so please check aroung.

Happy shopping
