HOT Sunbelt Granola Bar Coupon



Buy One, Get One Free Sunbelt Granola Bars, expires 2/18/10

Be sure to take advantage of this hot coupon I found on several other sites earlier this week. I held off posting it here until I used it myself to see if it was going to be a "beeper". I'm always leery of a coupon that is so great and like to investigate before passing on what could be a potentially fraudulent coupon.

Yesterday I used it at Price Chopper with no problem. As a matter of fact, when the clerk scanned the coupon it automatically took the correct amount back off without her having to look it up and enter the amount manually. I cant say that for the bogo dog food coupon I also used!

Then I found this on Pocket Your Dollars. She called Sunbelt directly and here is what there return email had to say:

“Thank you for your call concerning SUNBELT® snacks and cereals. I’ve passed on your concerns to our Sunbelt Brand Manager regarding the B1G1 Sunbelt Coupon. Although we have in place a tracking system for the number of coupons printed, we purposely did not apply a print limit with the hope that consumers will take advantage of this great offer and purchase our product. We hope you continue to find our SUNBELT® snacks and cereals irresistible because we really enjoy making them that way. We are on the threshold of celebrating 50 years of a family focused vision and remain committed to you and your family as together we Unwrap A Smile.®”
Thanks for sharing your response with us Pocket Your Dollars!

Haiti Care Kits



Kiddo brought home a notice from school yesterday that his school is holding a Heart to Heart Care Kit campaign to aide the victims of Haiti. The 6th grade classes were asked to bring bath size bars of soap. Preschool thru eighth grade had their indiviual item designated and after the campaign drive, the kits will be assembled.

I feel it is important to teach my children the joy of giving to others who are in need. We were able to donate from our stockpile several items that hadn't cost my family a penny. Just my time clipping coupons and chasing deals.

Kiddo was very proud of the two bags of items he was able to donate to the drive, and it made me feel that all that deal chasing/hounding was worth my time even more so now! Even though we have dontated from our stockpile on a regular basis to the local community food bank and our extended family, this felt even bigger and more urgent!

I imagine the smile on some Haiti child's face when given the Johnson & Johnson fruity smelling Buddy bars, the Spiderman/Dora Band-aides, and the Crest Spin toothbrushes.

Heart to Heart International is based in the Kansas City suburb of Olathe, Kansas. They were born out of an Olathe Rotary Club meeting in which Dr. Gary Morsch shared his passion to help people in need halfway around the world.

If you would like to help with Care Kits, go HERE for details.

Pizza Sticks



I had a Chef Boyardee Cheese Pizza Kit in the pantry that I needed to get used before it expired. I was looking on the box to see what I needed to prepare the crust and found their Pizza Snack Sticks recipe.

It was very simple. I dumped everything into my kitchen aide bowl, mixed it up, rolled it out, cut into strips, and baked them for 15 minutes. I served them with some extra pizza sauce and parmesan cheese for dipping.

A simple quick after school snack for kiddo, and hubby and I even liked them.

Thanks Chef Boyardee!

Coors Light Rebate


I dont do a lot of mail in rebates. When they are for $1 or $2 it seems like there is a lot of paperwork and hassle that goes along with it.

BUT, Coors Light has a great $15, $10, or $7.50 rebate offer around playoff and superbowl time every year. The amount depends upon what state you live in, so be sure to read the forms closely.

To print off your form go HERE. Even if you cant print them right now, go over there and get them saved. That way if they decide to pull the forms off, you'll still have it.

I do this rebate twice every year. One for me and one for my oldest son. It is really worth the little bit of time for this one!

FREE Pepsi

This week you can get 12 12 packs of Pepsi FREE at CVS. Sams Secrets has the details HERE.

Egg Bread Bread Machine Recipe

Egg Bread
1 1/2 pound loaf

2/3 cup milk (90`-100` F)
2 eggs, large
3 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons butter/margarine
2 tsp. active dry yeast OR 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine fast rise yeast.

Add ingredients in order listed.
Bake in bread machine using Basic setting and your choice of color.
I always bake it on light since this is smaller than 2 lb loaf.

The eggs add a special flavor to this bread and it's a very tender
bread due to using both eggs and milk.

It is NOT recommended to use this recipe with your delay on your
bread machine due to the eggs and milk in it.

TIP: When using a bread machine, to get fluffier bread, add the warm water and yeast first. Let that sit for 5 minutes before adding the remaining ingredients.

Cheeseburger Soup

I'm back! I have been really busy entertaining my 12 year old son through the holiday break which I thought would never come to an end! We got snow on top of snow and they were out of school for a whole extra week! He was even starting to get bored and was wanting to go back!

I have a new recipe to share with you that came from Aunt Krista. Just right to take the chill of a cold grey evening meal. I serve it with home-made bread and will share my favorite bread machine recipe with you also.















Cheeseburger Soup
K. Eidson

1 pound hamburger
4 T. butter (divided)
¾ C chopped onion
3 C chicken broth
¾ C shredded carrots
4 C diced peeled potatoes
¾ C diced celery
¼ C flour
1 t. basil
8 oz. Velveeta (cubed)
1 t. parsley flakes
1 ½ C milk
¾ t. salt
¼ C sour cream
¼ t. pepper

In a saucepan, brown hamburger, drain, set aside. In same pan, saut̩ onion, carrots, celery, basil, & parsley flakes in 1 T. butter until tender. Add broth, potatoes, & hamburger, bring to boil. Reduce heat, simmer 10-12 minutes until potatoes are tender. In small skillet, melt remaining butter. Add flour, stir 3-5 minutes until bubbly. Add to soup, bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes. Reduce to low Рadd cheese, milk, salt, & pepper. Cook until cheese melts. Remove. Add sour cream.
I always double this recipe. It is so yummy, I suggest you do the same!


I was really surprised when both my sons ate this like there was no tomorrow! I chop my onion and celery up VERY fine and grate the carrots to help conceal them. The oldest is pretty easy to slip stuff by him, but the youngest actually picks apart his food to see what all is in it. The onion and celery cooked down nicely and passed his inspection. He ate two bowls of it! I was such a HAPPY mom! Something new to cook that EVERYONE loved.

Enjoy!
