People often ask us if weactually eat the stuff we buy. Well, yeah, of course we do! Recently, we bought 10# bags of frozen leg quarters from Food World ($.39/1#), and this Sunday we decided to break out a bag for the week!

Once you get into couponing, you will have to find a coupon sorting method that works for you. When I first started years ago, I clipped every single coupon I got my hands on. Then, I sorted them in a binder with baseball card inserts. This worked for me then because I was a stay at home mom with more time on my hands to clip and sort. Plus, I didn’t have as many coupons as I thought. It was handy though, because I had all my coupons...

Newspapers!
Well, the first and obvious answer is of course, in the Sunday newspaper. The common Sunday coupon inserts are RedPlum (RP) and Smartsource (SS). Usually on the first Sunday of the month, a Proctor and Gamble (P&G) insert will be included.
Coupons are regional. For example, Pensacola often gets “better” and higher dollar coupons than we do in Mobile. For example, in the past few months we have seen Pensacola get a $3 off Snuggle coupon that we didn’t get. We have seen Pensacola get $2.50 off Finish (aka Electrasol)...

I knew better, but for whatever reason I waited to go back last night to buy the $.39/lb chicken leg quarters. And of course, they were out! I spoke to several people who show different Food World stores and they had the same problem. IF you go to Food World and your store is out, BE SURE TO ASK FOR A RAINCHECK! What?! A rainchek? Oh yes! I got a raincheck on the leg quarters and the strawberries without having to make the $15 obligatory purchase at that moment. Plus, the manager I spoke with said the rainchecks are good for...

Walgreens’ promotional incentive is Register Rewards aka RR. RRs are coupons (money to us!) that print out when you purchase certain items at Walgreens. RRs do expire, so make sure to keep up with dates on them.
You can find out what the best RR deals are by checking online ahead of time or waiting and look in the Sunday advertisement. The key is to find free after RRs or find RRs deals with coupons that make them free-cheap. For example: Dove Deodorant on sale for 99cents and I get $1 RR for it, it is like getting it for...

Revolution In World Missions I ordered this book a week or so ago because it was free Christain literature. Well, I got it Saturday in the mail and started reading it that afternoon. This is an amazing, true story that has touched my heart and has many issues weighing on my heart and in my mind. I can honestly say, I hear the Spirit talking through this man's story. Do you long to let go of self-centeredness and be more eternally minded?Do you desire to make a difference in the lost world but aren't sure how to go about it?The...
Where do we find all of our coupons?
This is a question we both get a lot. When we started, we had no coupons except for inserts from the papers we bought on Sunday. Now? We have more coupons than you can imagine. So, where do we get them?

I think my husband may propose to me again if I keep cooking like I have been! We had leg quarters (5 for $2.80) out yesterday to thaw and that moment came. That moment of what shall we do with these?
Don't freak out when you see the ingredients. Bobby is NOT a fan of mayonnaise and LOVED these. My Dad is not a fan of chicken and LOVED these. the mixture keeps the breading on as well as sealing in the juices. This was the most tender,...

All I can say about last night's dinner, is WOW. OH, WOW!! We have a large stockpile of chicken, especially chicken legs. Well, I had chicken legs out for dinner, knew everyone was tired of fried (gasp! a southerner tired of fried chicken?!) and baked chicken, so I went searching. My mission? Anything other than fried or baked chicken (duh). This is what I came up with, and yes! we had everything on hand!

Sorry for the brief break! As most of you know, it was Mardi Gras Tuesday and our family went downtown for the day. Thanks to a fantstic stockpile, we had plenty of ribs, drumsticks, wings, hot dogs and hamburgers (from my cousin's stockpile!). We were also able to pack plenty of drinks and snacks from what we have on hand. We spent very litte which is always our sensible goal!
Tonight for dinner, we are having Pork Steaks grilled by...
For Lent, our family has decided to offer a portion of our duplicate grocery items each week to a family or person in need. This will last the entire time of Lent. I would like to ask EVERYONE on here to think of someone you know that is truly in need of help.

Please understand that this has to be a local family or person so that we can deliver the items as necessary. Note that we live in Chickasaw, AL...
I was talking to someone recently who asked, what do you fix for dinner? She pointed out she didn't see a lot of main course or side course foods in my pictures or lists always.
See, that's the thing about being stocked up so much. I have lots to choose from already! A lot of what we buy is to restock in certain areas of our little Anderson store, erm pantry or snacks for around the house, parties or lunches. You also have to remember...
Unless you are under a rock you know that Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Are you ready? Well, if not, fear not! Check the freezer, grab your sweetie's favorite meat out to thaw. Plan a simple dinner.

Guys are NOT that hard to please, so why not try to do so every now and then?! NExt, head...
