Back to the Basics – Coupons Found in the Grocery Store

There are great coupons to be found inside your local grocery store. The trick can be spotting them while you are busy looking at your list, keeping the coupons you brought with you organized and if you are like me chasing down the crazy 4 year old. But once you know more about what you are looking for the easier it becomes to find these coupons.
Here are some of the different types of coupons to be on the look for:
Catalina Coupons are the coupons that print at the check-stand. If the coupons print before payment ask the see if any of them can be used on this visit, if they print after you pay they are to be used on another transaction. Be sure to check your grocery store’s shopping list on Pinching Your Pennies because many time your can get greater discounts and incentives by planning your shopping trip are specific Catalina promotions. Why are they called Catalinas? Because the company that distributes these coupons is called Catalina Marketing.
Blinkies are the small red dispensers that have a blinking light to get your attention. They are usually right by the item that the coupon is promoting. They are manufacturer coupons that can be used in any store. Look for similar devices in the frozen food section, typically on the freezer doors.
Peelies are the coupons that are attached onto the product. Make sure you remove the coupon and hand it to the cashier, because most of the time they won’t even know there is one there and if you rely on them to find it, it will probably be missed.
Tear Pads are pads with coupons or rebate forms attached. These can often be found near the item that the coupon is for BUT also in other places around the store. Check for current beer rebate forms (not just for beer) in the seasonal area of the store and also on the endcaps of the aisles.
Don’t forget to check the ads! At most stores they have copies of their current ads at the customer service desk or near the entrance. Sometimes there are coupons in these ads – AND if the coupon is a store coupon you can most likely use it along with a manufacturer coupon for the same item.
Wine Tags If you are shopping at a store that sells wine, frequently there are rebate forms or coupons around the neck of some wine bottles. Sometimes these coupons require the purchase of wine and sometimes they do not. Many of these coupons are for food items that are complimentary to wine like cheeses, seafood and meats.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas

What are you giving for Father’s Day? I have learned that it is the small, thoughtful gifts that mean the most…not the most expensive. My kids love to do homemade gifts on Father’s Day too. Here are a few inexpensive and FUN ideas for you.

1. Make a photo collage. Last year my kids cut out pictures from magazines that described their dad…everything from food to activities to physical characteristics. We wrote at the top of the poster “We love our Dad!” and then they glued all the pictures on the poster. It was awesome! (sorry no photo!)

2. We took these empty Altoid tins last year and make containers for his small screws, nuts, and nails with this template (I couldn’t find the ‘screw’ tin for my pic). The kids colored the paper then we mod modged the paper onto the tin. Easy!

3. My kids love making homemade cards for their dad on Father’s Day. Get out the markers, stencils, construction paper and stickers! Make it fun. My older kids have started writing poems in their cards. Ode to Dad!

4. Make a candy gram (candy bars/candy on a poster).

5. Paint a large rock for a paper weight.

6. Here is a great freebie to give to dad this year! A free mousepad from Rite Aid Video Values. Watch a short video and earn a credit for a free computer mousepad, valued up to $12.99! Order online and pick up in-store.

Spray Painting Fun! Refinish your furniture!

Do you ever wish that you could get new updated furniture, but you can’t afford it? For a couple of years I have been refinishing furniture, shelving, picture frames, and even my doorknobs! It is an easy and inexpensive way to make your old things look new and updated. I now look at things I see at thrift stores and yard sales completely differently. A coat or two of spray paint is all it takes! There is a spray paint for pretty much any surface so your option are limitless.

Sherri’s simple steps:

Select an appropriate spray paint for the surface you are working with.

Wash the piece of furniture with warm soapy and water and allow it dry completely.

Lightly sand wood furniture prior to painting.

Set up in a well ventilated open area. I have put newspaper down in the driveway and I have even just painted my pieces on the lawn (after a mow or two you will never know)

Stand about 1-2 feet away from the piece and sweep the paint wide. If you get too close you will have lots of drips and runs.

After you get a good 1st coat let it dry completely before going on to the second coat. Most paints actually are dry in an hour or so.

Seal with a clear spray polyurethane or polycrylic, there several options here from matte to gloss.

Shelf Reliance – Introducing THRIVE Freeze Dried Cheeses!

Shelf Reliance is excited to announce the addition of four new cheese products to the THRIVE food line: Shredded Mozzarella, Shredded Cheddar, Shredded Colby, and Shredded Monterey Jack. These freeze-dried cheeses are superb and a great addition to any food storage. These cheeses easily rehydrate and become the perfect garnish to add a gourmet touch to your everyday meals. And they melt great too! THRIVE cheeses have a 20 year shelf life and can last up to 2 years after being opened.

THRIVE Shredded Mozzarella brings the taste of Italy right to your kitchen. This cheese is perfect for lasagnas or on top of pastas. Or, for a delicious food-storage-inspired pizza, create a masterpiece using THRIVE tomato powder for sauce, THRIVE vegetables as toppings, and THRIVE mozzarella sprinkled on top! This cheese is made with part-skim milk, making it lower in fat and still a great source of calcium and essential vitamins!

Never a more versatile cheese, THRIVE Shredded Cheddar can be used in almost any dish. For summer picnics, it becomes the best grilled cheese sandwich. Or, if a fiesta is more your taste, use this cheese for tasty quesadillas or quick and easy nachos. This medium cheddar is the perfect way to add a little extra flavor to any dish.

If something more mild suits your pallet, Shredded Colby Cheese is a must. It has a moist and creamy texture and a more subtle taste, making it the ideal choice to dress up any salad. You can also use it in casseroles or as a topper for tacos.

Shredded Monterey Jack has a delicious buttery flavor. Its mild flavor makes it a welcome ingredient to most dishes. It can be melted over your favorite steak or used in making scrumptious enchiladas. Try adding it to your favorite soup or chowder. Be sure to have this cheese on hand, and add a little extra to your next meal!
