College Kids Will Eat Anything


Last week my nephew at college sent my a picture of himself wearing a t-shirt that said, “I heart canned SPAM”. I instantly called him to find out what the deal was. I’ve never known the kid to eat canned food, much less canned meat products, so I was dying to know the story.

Turns out he burned through his money and was left with nothing to eat. One night he got hungry so he scavenged the cupboards looking for something. That’s when he said he found a can of SPAM. Yes an unclaimed can of that questionable meat product. Considering the gel stuff that’s in the can with the spam, I’m not really even sure it’s meat. But the kid was hungry so he opened the can and fried up the stuff.

I had to ask, why on Earth was there a can of canned SPAM in the first place. Interestingly enough, his roommate who uses lots of coupons printable got the can for free with one of his printable coupons. But like anyone else with taste buds, the roommate didn’t want to eat it.

A hungry college kid, one can of spam, free coupons printable…that all sounded interesting, but that didn’t explain the t-shirt. So the story behind that was that as it turns out, the kid actually loved the canned SPAM. He loved it so much he wrote a letter to the SPAM company. In the letter he told them how much he appreciated the product. He told them that even though his roommate obtained the their tasty product for free with a printable coupons, and even though he had to been extremely hungry when he tried the it—he actually loved fired SPAM.

In reply to the letter, the folks at SPAM sent my nephew a package full of SPAM spiffs, a recipe book, stickers, and a t-shirt. Well, the story and the picture cracked me up. And even though this kid has made fun of me for clipping coupons, I can now remind him, he and canned meats were brought together by a free coupons printable.  

Persistent Kids and Coupons Printable


The other day my kids spent a good 20 minutes trying to convince me that pizza is a healthy meal. I finally relented and ordered pizza for dinner because I was impressed with their debating skills, and because I had some free Pizza Coupons, which saved me a lot of money. But I still let them think they had a good argument.

Those little monkeys told me all sorts of things about how pizza is actually a tasty Italian meal and not just American junk food. Then they told me how pizza really covers all of the food groups. They told me they were even willing to order extra veggies on the pizza to make it healthy. Who has ever seen such persistent kids?
 
In the end I ordered the pizza, like I said, because I was impressed with their bargaining skills. I was also super impressed that they went to my computer and found my coupon sites and printed out pizza coupons for the type of pizza that they wanted.

Now that I know how much work these kids are actually capable of, I’m going to have them help plan meals, gather free in store printable coupons, and I’m definitely going to make them eat even more veggies than before. All of this because of a hankering for some pizza, some hungry kids, and free pizza coupons.

Pack a Snack for Less with Junk Food Coupons

Who knew the cost of packing a lunch everyday for my little kindergartener would add up so quickly. After several months of complaining about the cost, I finally found free Junk Food Coupons. These coupons are easy to use, and they are saving enough money that I can schedule a monthly pedi without feeling any guilt.

Now, thanks to the printable Junk Food Coupons I found, I pack little Matilda a hearty little snack and never worry about the cost. I usually send her with a juice box, a small water bottle, or a tiny can of tomato juice. I also always include a piece of fruit or dried fruit. And finally I include something high in protein, like a pack of Ritz cheese crackers, Planters nuts, King B beef jerky, M&Ms trail mix, or a mini can of Pringles.
 
The great thing about using Junk food Coupons, is that I can buy the name brands I prefer. My little darling is getting a complete snack of name brand foods everyday and I’m getting peace of mind and big savings.

Next year Matlida has to start packing a lunch and a snack. I’ve heard several other mothers complaining about the costs, and every time, I just tell them the secret of the Junk Food Coupons. Of course its not really a secret. The only secret is that you can buy all sorts of healthy foods like nuts, cheese sticks, and dried blueberries with the Junk Food Coupons.

Homemade Hummus always tastes better and so does saving on crackers with Pepperidge Farms Coupons.

I love grocery printable coupons. I’d say most of the coupons I use are for food. We eat three square meals a day, mostly all homemade, and that translates into a lot of food. To avoid sticker shock when I go to the grocery store, I always use coupons. Some of my favorite coupons to use right now are Pepperidge Farms Coupons. When the Pepperidge Farms crackers and cookies are already on sale, I can really stock up on the things I need. 

I used to love it when I could find Athenos Hummus on sale, but then I found out how easy it is to make. I never buy ready made hummus anymore. In fact, when I taste it, I realize I prefer my homemade stuff.

Here’s a quick recipe for one of my favorite things to eat with crackers. It’s super cheap too, basically the cost of a can of beans and of course the Pepperidge Farms crackers, but you can use Pepperidge Farms Coupons for that.

Homemade Hummus

1 can garbanzo beans
2 T tahini
2 T lime juice
¼ t cumin
½ red pepper flakes
½ t salt
2+ T olive oil

Dump everything into a food processor and whirl until smooth. If necessary add a bit water if too thick. I’ve found that with Hummus the best way to get the perfect mix, is to taste it. Some days I’m like more lime, other days I’d like to make it a little more spicy, and then I add a tad more pepper flakes.

We all seem to be a little low on cash these days, but we still like to get together with friends and go to parties. I’ve found that a good and inexpensive way to bring a nice appetizer is bring hummus and crackers. As long as I remember to use free Pepperidge Farms Coupons, I can impress my fellow guests for less than three bucks.

A Minimalist's Guide to Shampoo & Shopping


I love to shop, but I hate to buy unnecessary things. Thus, I have to choose the things I buy carefully. I don’t like clutter in any form. I read the paper online so I don’t have to deal with papers lying around the house. I limit the number of shoes my kids get, so I don’t have to worry about tripping over stuff. I can’t stand having extra spoons in the kitchen drawers or extra bottles of shampoo and soap in the shower. I am a minimalist who likes to shop. It is a bit of an oxy moron, but I’ve made it work.
In my shower I only allow one brand of shampoo and conditioner. I use Pantene Coupons to get those products and that’s it.
Same with the vanity. I use Pantene Coupons to get one bottle of hairspray and one thing of gel. That’s it.
I use Pantene Coupons so I still have fun with the thrill of the hunt. First I look online for the printable Coupons and then I go shopping for the best deals on the things I really need.
I love good-quality things, and shopping with Pantene Coupons and other In Store Printable Coupons helps me get the brands I want and trust, and the prices I can afford. I’ve found if I get the products I really want, I’m happier in the end.
I love Pantene, it is just one example. I like the brand because it makes my hair silky and luxurious, and the Pantene Coupons make the price lovely too.

There's Nothing Boring About Pizza Hut Coupons


I just re-read my last post and thought, holy moly that was BORING! Sure we all love a video, but that wasn’t the most interesting post I’ve ever done. I love Pizza Hut and I love Pizza Hut Coupons, surely I can come up with something a little more interesting.

So here’s the redo for Pizza Hut Coupons, Part Duo.

You can get the best pizza at Pizza Hut, so of course you can also get the best deals with  Pizza Hut Coupons. What kind of deals you ask? How about a big ol’ pizza for less than ten bucks? I’ve already printed my coupons, and I’m heading there for family dinner tonight.
 
My kids love Pizza Hut, so I always reward them with a family night out at the Hut. If they do all their homework and chores for a week, I give them a choice of rewards. They usually choose chowing down at Pizza Hut, who wouldn’t.

Personally I’m glad they usually choose it because I love the pan pizzas, and as you already know, I LOVE the Pizza Hut Coupons. Anytime you can take out the whole family for less than making a meal at home, I’m definitely in. Speaking of eating out for less with Pizza Hut Coupons, I’m signing off to go enjoy a fun night out with my cute hubby and kiddos.
