Buying Gift Cards at Restaurants!

Seasonal Tip: If you are planning on eating at a restaurant in the next few weeks, many top name chains are offering a "bribe" for buying gift cards. For instance, if you buy $25.00 in Gift Cards to 54th Street Grill, they will give you a $5.00 card as a bonus. There might be time constraints on the freebie card, but hey... $5.00 is an extra salad or drink!

Red Robin is doing the same promotion.

***NOTE: Don't just go sit at the table, buy the gift card and expect to use it that night! Plan ahead, go get the gift card and voila! It's in your wallet for when you need it!

$20 BONUS CARD

• For each $100 in gift cards purchased below receive a $20 Bonus Card*
• For Qualified purchases between 11/1/11 – 12/31/11.
• Bonus Card valid 1/1/12 – 2/10/12

Don't worry!

The same awesome projects and events will still be blogged here!!! I have just expanded. I have completely ignored my Etsy business, and that is okay! Have you seen the cost of paper crafting supplies??? Besides, I'm too busy helping friends discover how they can be wealthy in today's economy!

I am thrilled to finally have my book done. Soon, my publicist will have the website going and complete strangers will have and love my book.

I plan on doing some workshops where I teach the concepts in Month Buy Month! Couponing is great, I have saved thousands of dollars over the course of the year doing it! However, there were months on end where the coupons just sat in a pile because I didn't have time to sort them, or didn't have the strength to go shopping with them. I'm sure many busy moms and grocery shopping dads can relate! Saving money on a consistent basis does not need to be overwhelming.

So look for great articles, How To's, and deal alerts! I promise not to just "repost" other blog entries from my favorite blogs, I promise to give FRESH, informational content so you are truly learning and loving my blog!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Smashing the Smash Book!

I love having groups over to craft at my house! Here is a photo album of all the great photos taken by Michelle Lewis with My Fancy Photo. We had fun introducing ourselves, inspirational demonstrations of uses for Smash Books, and a truly inspiring devotional letting us know the importance of journaling to clear our minds of all the day in day out garbage and allow for real personal and spiritual growth.

Comments after the party have been amazing! Of course everyone had a great time, we always do, but this time, I wanted to provide the environment for some real personal reflection.

Around the room, I decorated with inspirational thoughts. Many are from my friend, Jim Fedor, who is a Master Calligrapher for Hallmark Cards. Here is his other website!

I chose the people I wanted to invite carefully. Knowing that there are busy schedules and prior engagements, I set out to invite 35 people with the promise that if they attend, they may bring a friend. All in all we had 18 people attend. Every attendee brought a canned good to share with the food bank. When I gathered it up to go over to the local church, it took two men to carry everything into the sanctuary! What a joy that was. I was going to take a photo and post all about how much food we gathered, but I decided that was innappropriate, people gave from their hearts and they received from my heart!

In keeping with my crafting philosophy, all gifts I give, I give from My Hear To Yours.... enjoy the slide show:

Great Deal on Canned Beans! at Hyvee, Meat and Tomato Juice!

A big thank you to Couponing Secret via Facebook for this deal!

DEAL ALERT! HYVEE: 3 day sale: Tomato juice 48 oz can 98 cents! Chili or Kidney Beans 15 or 15.5 oz 38 cents! 85% lean ground beef $2.38 per 1 lb roll.

Friends, these are amazing prices considering today's food price increases. This is the time to figure out how many times you plan on making chili this year and buy the meat and beans for it now!

Prices are good Sunday 9/11 through Tuesday 9/13. The bottom of the ad says: we reserve the right to limit quantities, but there are no quantities listed on the ad. IF they do limit, go price match at Walmart and get the store brand, they won't limit there. Happy Shopping!

What can you do with tomato juice besides clean up after a skunk spray??

Firstly, you might remember your grandparents drinking it with breakfast, add a little pepper and a splash of Tabasco and you have a virgin bloody Mary.

Secondly, you can freeze it in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, store the cubes in a freezer zip lock. When you are warming up spaghetti leftovers or making vegetable soups, you can add the cubed tomato juice from your freezer!

Thirdly, Tomato juice is VERY good for those who suffer from diabetes. Additionally, it prevents clotting, so it kinda acts like an aspirin for heart health.

Fourthly, use tomato juice as a base for soups like minestrone. 1/2 can tomato juice mixed with 1 can of chicken broth would make a great soup base for many concoctions!

I challenge you to buy a can or FIVE for your long term storage and try it! You might like what you discover. I personally will be making tomato ice cubes with it. I make a lot of spaghetti, it's nice to add the juice rather than water it down.
