I know this is late for my fellow bloggers to find these deals, but I was proud of my savings and had to share.
I needed razorblades. I saw on Walgreen's add that they had a 3 pack for 8.99 with $3 register rewards. I priced walmart's at $10.89! So the next day, I went and picked up a pack- got my RR. I also picked up some dial hand soap that was buy 1 get 1. Then I went back the next day & bought 2 more. Used my RR on toothpaste. Got another $3 + a $1 for the toothpaste!! Score!! I still have $4 in RR to use the next time I go in. I usually try to watch their add, you can sign up online and it will e-mail to you. So that was like getting 3 packs for $21! If I would have bought at walmart it would have been $30, so a savings of $10!! YEAH!!!
Happy Saving!!!

Robins Menu for March
This month I actually planned my menu in February and had my shopping done before March 1st! I just didn't blog about it when I had intended to. This month is pretty busy, with speech therapy twice a week and not getting home until late on those nights. I also committed to cook for my parents on Friday nights (the day they both work), since dad is having radiation treatments and is pretty tired. I will just start with today:
3/8- Pizza @ Mom's
3/9: Taco's- freeze leftovers-- Cook Baked Potato Soup
3/10: Reheat Baked Potato Soup
3/11: Murphy's Burgers (Pioneer Woman recipe)
3/12: Go out- Alan's Birthday
3/13: Farmer's Porkchops
3/14: Crockpot BBQ Sanwiches (Freeze leftovers)
3/15: Italian Pizza Casserole
3/16: Birthday Party- might go out or cook- depends on if we go somewhere
3/17: Sausage Pie (make clover shapes out of pie crust)
3/18: Not cooking
3/19: Go Out
3/20: Slow Cooked Brisket & Creamy Mashed Potatos
3/21: PF Chang Bag Meal
3/22: Chicken Taco's & Spanish Rice
3/23: Crockpot Lasagna
3/24: Breakfast
3/25: Italian Stew & Muffins
3/26: Party
3/27: Chicken Spaghetti
3/28: Chicken & Pasta
3/29: Stuffed French Bread w/ leftover taco meat
3/30: Chili
3/31: Pioneer Pizza
This month is very busy, so there is more eating out than usual. We have Addi's Birthday Party this month, marriage retreat & Alan's Birthday.
The thought behind my madness is on Monday & Thursday- either reheat soup that I cooked the night before or some other meal that Stephen can have ready when we get home. Last month I tried cooking soup Sunday afternoon so we could eat it monday for dinner- this month is just too busy. Also- my daughter will eat breakfast foods, so I try to do that 1 night a week. We have also discovered the frozen bagged meals, which are perfect for Stephen to cook. They won't work for everyone, but 1 bag will feed the 3 of us and even the name brands are around $6, which is still cheaper than eating out. I try to cook foods from scratch when I can and use my crock pot during the week. I tried lasagna in it last month and it is awesome- just like I baked it. I put it together the night before. I used all of the normal ingredients, except I made my sauce a little more watery than usual. I did not cook the the noodles, just broke them to fit and layered the ingredients. I had my mom cook it on low for 4 hours and it was wonderful- I even fed them with it. Try it!!
I need some ideas for Sunday lunches, though. We would like to start putting something in the crock pot before church, so we aren't tempted to go out afterwards (the exception is the sunday's that I'm in the nursery).
I think I saved money this month on groceries... I still need to buy some produce throughout the month, but atleast I don't wander around walmart and grab a bunch of things that we may or may not cook. You should try it sometime, even start out small- a week at a time and see how it goes.
This makes the planner in me so happy!! ha!!
