Gerber Pledge/High Value Coupons

Go over here and make a pledge for your child/children, nieces/nephews, grandchildren etc. and once you have successfully submitted your pledge you will need to click on the coupon link. You can print off $3 off coupon for Gerber baby food, Graduates foods or Graduates for preschoolers. They also have a $5 off coupon for formula! It did only let me print the coupons once, but hey that's okay. I did need to register, so the whole process takes a few minutes but is definately worth it!

Bath and Body Works

So one of the things that I really like to buy are the Bath and Body Works foam antibacterial soaps. they are on sale right now 5 for $15. I plan on getting 10 of these (as I think that is the limit) and then using a $10 off $30 coupon(the ones from the surveys on your receipt) and then I also printed the FREE signature collection body care item. I'll post pics after my venture :D

PINK @ Bath and Body Works?!?!

ATTENTION fellow PINK lovers! Pink is NOW at Bath and Body Works! How awesome is that?! I have two BBW located here in town but NO Victoria's Secret stores. Now I can get some of my favorite products a LOT closer to home. And here is the BEST part they are NOW on sale 2 for $20 for various body mists, body washes and body lotions! Go here and check out all of the details or visit your local Bath and Body Works. I am super excited especially since I had planned on making a trip there tomorrow! YIPPEE!!

FREE PERSONALIZED HALLMARK CARD!

Yay, I love cool FREE stuff. Here's another great one compliments of Hip to Save. So you will need to go over here and pick out the card to customize it. Then when you are checking out make sure to enter TRIAL in the promo code box. Your total shipped is $0.00!! I did have to sign up to be a Gold crown member (but hey that just means more cool offers right?!) I made a cute Easter card for my boys :D They are going to be so excited! Not sure how long this offer is good so make sure to go over and do it right away...

Soft Soap Rolling deal DEAD!

Alas I went to the one of the three Walgreen's here in town and tried out the Soft Soap deal. I purchased one and received a RR (register reward) for a FREE Soft Soap, so I went over and grabbed another one. Paid my $0.20 in tax and darn, no more RR...maybe if I feel up to it I will try one of the other 2 stores here and town and see how it goes...

My best friend tried it in Manitowoc (about 30 minutes away from here in Sheboygan) and she had to call the manager because she did not even get one! She often has MANY problems at that Walgreen's because they are NOT very coupon friendly...so occasionally she will come here. It is VERY frustrating as a consumer when the cashiers are soooo rude to the customers. I mean they act like you are taking the money out of THEIR pockets! In what way does it affect them? You are purchasing items, which help generate revenue, which in turn boosts sales to help the suffering economy...WHERE IS THE PROBLEM! The stores are getting the face value of the coupon PLUS at least $0.08 more! They are getting MORE! Duh people, it is NOT our fault that we are trying to get the most bang for our buck and score a sweet deal! Seriously lighten up...sorry for the rant but some people need to stop. Don't get me wrong there are some REALLY nice cashiers out there...(especially my fav Katie at my Walgreen's both the kids and I LOVE her :) The bads seem to over take the goods at times...Any who...

1st 10,000 get a FREE tote

Go over here scroll down towards the bottom and click to make your pledge. Once you submit it will tell you if you got a FREE tote. Great for all of that deal shopping and get for the environment! I got one early, so hurry over and check it out!!

Thanks, It's Hip to Save!

Friday 3/27/09 such a busy day!

Friday I may not get too many things posted as we have a pretty busy schedule. I have to go to the post office and mail some of the packages from ebay. Then we plan on swinging by the Bath and Body Works to get a few things. A quick stop to the grocery store to pick up sugar, milk and what not. The boys have a bowling birthday party from 1-3:30, then we are picking up my younger brother (he loves to cook and I plan on baking quite a bit tomorrow he has apparently mastered colored Easter bread, if we have time we may try that too.) But we are making Jumbo Oatmeal Peanut Butter Raisin Cookies and Mexican Lasagna (without the meat for lent.) I got the receipe from my best friend Cindy. It is pretty simple:

1 pckg (8oz) cream cheese
1/4 c cilantro leaves
2 c monterey jack cheese
1 can enchilada sauce (28 oz)
12 corn tortillas
1 lrg can of diced tomatoes
2/3 c diced onion
1 can refried beans
1 can black beans
2 c cooked rice
(then you can add 3 c. chicken, ground beef, ground turkey, steak whatever)


Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for 30-45 seconds until very soft. Add cilantro and 1/2 of the shredded cheese. Mix thoroughly. Put 2/3 c of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a lasagna pan. Cover with tortillas. Pour rest of enchilada sauce in a bowl and put on the side.
For the remaining tortillas you will want to dip them into the enchilada sauce (to get them moist) before using them for the layers. For the layers use beans, onions and cheese (meat), then tortillas, then cream cheese mixture( I also added diced green chilis), then tortillas then tomatoes, rice and cheese, then tortillas, then black beans (you would add meat here), then tortillas. Cover with enchilada sauce and top with cheese. Bake in the oven @ 350 degrees for 40 minutes. You can top with sour cream, chopped cilantro, lettuce olives or whatever you like. Yummmmm! Can't wait!! I also made cornbread, I add 1 can of cream corn and cube up some cheese..it is soooooo good!
