Yesterday: I recvd the new Home Made Simple book of coupons. FREE Cascade Crystal Clear Rinse! And I recvd an envie in the mail from Dhunny with coupons for FREE cat food for my ferral babies. Inheriting 9 cats all of a sudden, in addition to the two I moved in to this home with, hasnt been easy. I only have three of the ferrals now, for a total of 5 cats. Pet food is on the rise, as well as everything else, so I really appreciated the coupons.
Today: I recvd the Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash FREE sample that I posted on Friday Freebies a few weeks ago. I'm anxious to try this but was disappointed there was no coupon included to entice me to purchase the product. Also, today there was a mailer from Vocal Point. It was advertising the new Ford Flex. Included was a pack of FREE breath mints. I couldnt figure out how to open the container. Boy Wonder was able to figure it out and so I gave the mints to him. I would love to have one of the Ford Flex', but there just isnt the money in our budget for a new vehicle.
Did you receive any goodies in your mailbox today?

Skyrocketing Potato Prices
Around here, 5lbs of russet potatoes cost $4.99. It's outrageous. Is your potato prices gone through the roof?
This week Aldi's has 10lbs russet potatoes on sale for $1.99.
I price matched them at Wal-Mart getting a couple of bags that will last us a while.

Friday Freebies
This week I recvd my BeingGirl sample gift. This "gift" contained 1 pad, 2 pantiliners, 1 fem wipe, and 3 tampons. It also had a coupon in it for a FREE 18 count package of Always Infinity Pads, $1 off a box of Tampax Pearls and $1.50 off Tampax Compak Pearls. The expiration dates on these are 2009 & 2010. Now I will sit back and wait for a CVS deal offering ECB's and use my coupons then! I consider it one of the better freebies a company offers. They are offering a free sample of their new Always Infinity pad. I'm sure it will include a wonderful coupon in it too!
I also recvd my free sample of Meow Mix Cat Food. With it came a coupon for a FREE cup of the wet food version. This is the big reason why I request FREE samples. 90% of the time they will come with an excellent coupon. These coupons wont be found in your weekly coupon inserts, they are better than that!
Now for this week's freebies. There were some good ones.
Is that not just the cutest coffee cup! I want one. I have one on the way. To get your FREE coffee cup go here: DigiLake Free Coffee Cup The form is very simple... you don't even have to enter your town or state, just the zip code.

Chicken Spiedini
I'm always looking for a different way to cook chicken. One of the Kansas City Italian Restaurants serves this. I'm not sure this is exactly how they fix it, but it's good and easy enough for me to prepare.
If you have a way to fix chicken that changes it up, something different, let me know. I'll gladly try it. It seems chicken is the only meat that is reasonably priced and on sale around here on a weekly basis.
Grilled chicken spiedini
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons grated lemon zest, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped pickled pepperoncini
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
Combine lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest and olive oil; blend well. Remove 2 tablespoons lemon juice mixture, stir in pepperoncini and set aside. Place remaining mixture into zip-top bag and add chicken breasts. Seal bag, refrigerate and allow to marinate 30 minutes.
Place bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, remaining 2 tablespoons lemon zest and garlic cloves in shallow dish such as a pie plate; blend well. Remove each chicken breast from marinade and place in crumb mixture, coating well. Carefully cut each breast into 1-inch thick slices and thread onto metal skewers.
Preheat grill to medium-high (400 degrees, see cooking tip) allowing coals to burn down to white ash. Grill chicken 9 to 12 minutes, or until fully cooked and meat thermometer registers 170 degrees, turning midway through cooking.
Place on serving platter and drizzle with pepperoncini mixture.
