How I saved over $50 today

There are simple ways to save money and they all add up.  Here are some ways I saved money today.

I received 2 $10 gift cards to Starbucks from Swagbucks for free. Sign up for Swagbucks and use them everytime you use the internet. It's an easy way to receive free items.

I received my 1/2 price gift certificates to Rosy's Restuarant. I paid $25 for 2 $25 gift cards.

I went to the Oroweat Outlet today and picked up the following for $17.27 (I'm sure I saved at least 50% off original price):

4 - 2 pack loaves of the Oroweat Costco size bread (one loaf is the size of 2 standard size loaves)
2 - 2 packs of bagel thins
2  package of english muffins
1 package of mini rye loaf
1 loaf wheat bread - free
2 boxes of doughnuts - 1 free
1 box mini mufifns

I did find out that the Oroweat Outlet has double punch days (double points on their punch card so you can work towards free items) on Mondays and between 5:00 - 6:00 you also receive a free item.  Monday's will be the day for me.

Homemade Corn Dogs

I thought I would share this fun recipe for homemade corn dogs with you that I found from the Prepared Pantry.

Using tempura batter mix makes these easy to make—with only four ingredients. They are as good as any at the county fair.

One package of eight good quality hot dogs cut crosswise
2 cups tempura batter mix
1 cup milk
1 large egg

16 wooden skewers about 4-inches long (cut longer skewers into shorter sticks)

Insert the skewers into the ends of the hot dogs.

In a large bowl, stir the batter mix, the egg, and the milk together. The batter will be thick.
Pour one inch of oil into a large, heavy skillet or use a Fry Daddy. Heat to 365 degrees.
Holding the hot dogs over the bowl of batter, spoon the batter onto the hot dogs and spread it around to completely cover them.

Lay the coated hot dogs, 3 or 4 at a time, in the hot oil. Turn them with tongs after 10 to 15 seconds of cooking to prevent the batter from sliding off the hot dogs. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more or until golden brown, turning to brown evenly. Remove with tongs and drain on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.

Serve with your favorite dip.

80% off Restaurant.com

Receive 80% off restaurant gift certificates from Restaurant.com. Use Promo Code "CLEARANCE" for your discount.  This is good through Friday (12/31/10). You can purchase a $25 gift certificate for only $2. If you buy 5 - $25 gift certificates you will receive one for free.  You will receive them in the mail.  They are delivered very quick.  I purchase 5 a few weeks ago and received my free one as well.  I couldn't believe how fast they were delivered.

I have used these several times and I have had no problems at all.  I keep a couple in my purse in case we are out running around and decide to go out to eat. With the savings you can afford to eat at a nice restaurant rather than a fast food restaurant.  I live in the Tri-Cities, Washington and I have used certificates at Kimos, McDougalls, and Ice Harbor Brewery.

*Note: currently Kimo's and McDougalls are not listed, I'm hoping they add them back after the first of the year and Spaghetti Establishment went out of business so don't buy one of those.

5 Inserts this Sunday!!

Most of our coupons are expiring on the 31st, but the good news is Sunday's paper should have 5 inserts in it.  Some areas may be different. You might want to grab a couple papers. Don't forget you can always purchase coupons rather than buying a whole paper. I like to buy one paper so I can see all the ads and what coupons will be available to purchase. I purchase mine from The Coupon Clippers (they are currently closed for the holidays).

Santa Tracker

Like Moms Thrifty Deals we also follow the Santa Tracker.  If you have never done this before start this year. My 12 year old son and 8 year old daughter love to watch the Santa Tracker Christams Eve to keep track as to where he's at. The tracker is timed perfectly for Santa to come to your house after midnight when the kids should be in bed. I love sitting at the computer watching and annoucing which country, state, or city is receiving a visit.

"Supreme Pizza" Pasta Bake

Serves about 8

INGREDIENTS:

½ lb. Italian Sausage $1.43
1 (6.4 ounce) package HY-TOP Lasagna Dinner Mix*
 *I couldn't find the dinner mix so I substituted use these instead: Ronzoni Lasagna noodles $1.62 and Prego Spaghetti sauce 26oz $1.48
3 ounces sliced Pepperoni (Hormel) $1.03
¼ cup chopped Green Bell Pepper ~$.20
¼ cup chopped Onion ~$.20
¼ cup HY-TOP Mushrooms $.23
2 tbsp. sliced HY-TOP Ripe Olives $.16
7 ½ cups Water, divided
8 ounces (2 cups) HY-TOP Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Tillamook Shredded Cheese $1.78)

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Crumble and brown Italian sausage in a 10" skillet. Drain off excess grease. Set aside. In a 3-quart pan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Stir in pasta. Cook 10 minutes. Drain. Place cooked pasta in a 9" x 13" baking dish.  Pour 1/2 spaghetti sauce over pasta. Distribute the Italian sausage, pepperoni, green bell pepper, onions, mushrooms and olives over the top of the pasta and sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20 minutes.

Total Cost: $8.03 This would provide a family of 4 two meals, each meal being $4.01. You would have enough money to add a side dish of veggies or salad.
