Building a Stock Pile

by | | 0 Comments

I'd like to explain some of the benefits of having a stockpile. You almost NEVER have to pay full price for something when you need it because you are stockpiling when things are on sale, and hopefully with a coupon. You almost always have something on hand to cook for dinner, make for lunch or to put together a quick snack.  And if you happen to have bad weather, you'll be all set for food. Stockpiling DOES save you money, if you do it slowly. Don't try to get everything in one shopping trip. It could take months to build up a good stockpile. One thing to remember is that just about everything has an expiration date. When my mother first began her stock pile, she quickly realized she...

Cook’s Ham Blogger Event at Price Chopper in NY 3/16/10

by | | 6 Comments

Yesterday I spent a portion of the day in Latham, NY at Price Chopper with the great gals of Cook's Ham and Price Chopper.  I totally didn't mind the 3 hour drive there and back, it was well worth it.  Plus it was quiet time for this mommy in the car, alone!!! I was told there would be some cooking demonstrations, some taste testing and a supermarket challenge.  Sounded like fun to me!! I was one of 9 bloggers there and I was very excited to meet some new people.  I now have new blogs on my reader. OK, so onto the event.  The gals from Cook's Ham cooked a spiral ham and then showed us a few ways to use it, first as a meal and then as leftovers.  Their ham looked so much better than mine...

Window’s Snipping Tool: A Very Useful Tool

by | | 8 Comments

Do you know about the Snipping Tool on Windows??   I'm finding out that a lot of my blogging friends had not discovered it until I just happened to mention it.  It's a great time saving tool for bloggers.  I have no idea if Macs have anything like it but it's an extremely useful tool. What is the Snipping Tool?  Well, it's a tool that snips a picture on a web page and then it easily saves it to your pictures folder.  You can name it what ever you want.  It's so simple and takes no time at all. No more copying and pasting into Paint and then cropping and resizing.  That used to take me so much time that half the time I didn't even bother with the picture!  Now I snip pictures all the time....

CVS Coupon Policy

by | | 1 Comment

Here is CVS's coupon policy.  I emailed them to see if they can send me an official document we can print and take to the store.  In the meantime, print this out because it comes directly from CVS so these are the rules. CVS/pharmacy will accept coupons printed from the Internet. They must have a legible barcode that scans at the register. If the coupon does not scan at the register, the cashier should politely inform you that we are unable to accept your coupon. We do not allow manual overrides at the register for coupons printed from the Internet. Our registers are set to allow 1 CVS coupon and 1 manufacturer coupon per item. However, the staff should be allowing customers to use Extra...

I'm always looking for good deals online as well as in the stores. Especially at stores I normally would not shop at, but always wanted too!   I was glancing through Yves Rocher tonight because I received an email about $10 OFF & FREE SHIPPING with orders over $45! when you use coupon code 10OFF45.  I was intrigued.   I always look for a clearance or sale section and I was happy to see they are having a 50% off sale. What better time to shop than when it's 50% off!  Plus you can combine it with the $10 off $45.  I was curious as to how much I could get for $45 with only pay $35 out of pocket after the coupon. I'm happy to say I was able to fill up my cart with lots of goodies! (1)...
