Blog needs some time too

Hi Everyone! I have so much to blog about, but somehow gardening in real life, farming on Facebook, and life have just gotten the best of me. I will be posting about the family's trip to the Husker Game, riding bikes IN THE STREET, and having fun at home.

I promise my blog has not just turned into grocery deals...but unfortunately that is all I have time for this am:)

WOW! This is the week for fruit salad and vegetable salads (as if we didn’t have enough in our own gardensJ) I will be bringing a LOAD of tomatoes and green peppers to AWANA tonight…I have no more room in my freezer and have not gained the confidence to can them yetJ

Reminder: the Zion church (and many other organizations) save Box Tops, Best Choice, and other bar codes for reimbursement. It is easy to save.

There is also a greater need at the People’s City Mission as well…so if you have a stockpile too high, think of othersJ

Weekly Groceries 9/2/09
I wanted to let you know that I was successful at price matching at Target this week and getting 6 boxes of Lucky Charms for my daycare (used for breakfast, sorting, and crafts) for 1.48. I would have gotten them all for .48, but I lost a $1.00 Target coupon on the way into the storeL The sale price at Hyvee was 1.56…so I considered it a good dealJ It was just as easy to price match there has it was at Super Saver!!
