Disney's Bolt movie for less

I almost never buy movies as soon as they come out. Some how you can always get them for less.

Here is how you can pick up Bolt for a few dollars:

Here are some printable coupons

$5 off Bolt DVD

$10 off Bolt Blu Ray

Click here for a $4 rebate when you buy Ronzoni pasta and the Bolt Movie.

Here is a $1.00 off coupon for a Ronzoni product.

I bet either Target or Walmart would have the lowest DVD price. So for under $10, you can get a new dvd and a pasta dinner!

One Meal Challenge

It's Wednesday! Guess what day that is. All the sale flyers are published in our daily paper! Grocery deals galore. But, first it's time to shop my favorite place! Have any ideas where that is?

It's my own pantry and freezer! The prices are right and I have plenty of stock.

I believe the true key to saving money is using what you already have. Buy items low and USE THEM!

Yes there are good sales, but if I don't need an item and I have some stock on it - I don't buy more. Here is a crazy concept - it will go on sale again.

So what I first do when I get those grocery sale flyers is take a quick glance at what's on sale. Then I open my pantry and my freezer. What meals can I make from what I already have?

Take that challenge for a few weeks. See if it saves you some money.

Here's the One Meal Challenge - make at least one full meal from items you already have!

Get creative. One fantastic thing about the internet is you can find a ton of recipes. Try googling two or three ingrediants. Like Rice, Ground Beef and Tomatoes. See what recipes come up. You can find so many new options with this technique.

What do I have this week?

I have a can of chilis and some chicken in the freezer. I have an extra can of enchalada sauce I got on sale at albertsons. With a bit of extra veggies and leftover corn tortillas, I'm making chicken tortilla soup one night. Out of pocket cost $0.

See why I'm my own favorite store!

You try it. Save money by shopping YOURSELF first!

Imprompto Cake Stand

 

Friends of ours are getting married out of state. We also wanted to show them we were happy for their wedding, so we threw them a little wedding reception.

Instead of a big cake, a few of us ladies made some cupcakes. To have a cute way of offering the cupcakes to the guests, we needed a cake stand. Since no one had one, it was just as easy to whip one up.

I found all these supplies at the Dollar Store and they worked perfect.

 

Materials

3 large clear circle platter

6 champagne classes

9 punch bowl glasses

3 doilies

some decorative flowers

I then turned the plates upside down and hot glue the cup stands on to the plates. 3 champagna glasses on the one, and three each of the smaller glasses on the other two.

 

To  tier the plates, I kept the one plate with just one layer of small cups glued on. The second plate had two layers of small cups stacked. And finally the tallest tier had the champagne glasses stacked.

Place a doillie on top, hot glue some pretty flowers and your good to go!
