I just added a quick & easy recipe to my Household Recipes page for a gallon of disinfectant that will cost you less than 5 cents to make.  It only has 2 ingredients!

Sale starts tomorrow (Sunday 10/26). Look here for all the freebies! So sad there are no more Kmarts in Texas.  Here is a list of participating store locations.

Go here for a good list with printable coupon match-ups. I’m getting Halloween candy for 50c/bag. If you like to see the scanned pictures of the ads and put together your own list, or add to the one already mentioned, look here. Time to load up on SoyJoy Bars again. If you’re unfamiliar with the taste read this article for info.  If you get a bunch for free and you don’t like them, you can always give them to trick-or-treaters!

Does it get any better than that?  I can’t confirm this deal until I shop, but apparently JCPenney just mailed out a coupon for $10 off a single purchase of $10 or more good 10/29-11/1. Use coupon code DOOR39 at JCP.com.  Just wanted to get the info to you.

The Partnership for Prescription Assistance brings together America’s pharmaceutical companies, doctors, other health care providers, patient advocacy organizations and community groups to help qualifying patients who lack prescription coverage get the medicines they need through the public or private program that’s right for them. Many will get them free or nearly free.  There is NO COST INVOLVED!  Here is their site.

If you’re not already a member of coupons.com this is a great reason to join. It’s where you can get your $5 off $20 coupon at Walgreen’s which is good for today and tomorrow (Friday & Saturday) only. I tried to link, but for some reason it wouldn’t let the viewer come back to this page. Anyhow, you can only print it twice (per printer).

Well, this is the longest break I’ve taken from my blog. I needed it though. I’ve been homeschooling, teaching piano, teaching a speech & debate club, getting involved in an international student ministry, driving kids and living life. I will resume posting, but only as time allows. I have a very full plate.

I have been tired of half my grocery bill going to laundry detergent and toilet paper. I’ve been looking for acceptable alternatives for items that needlessly suck money out of my wallet. I have a lot of recipes to share with you, but will only do so after I try them, tweak them and accept them. I refuse to use recipes that are not up to my standards. I currently have 4 recipes on my Houshold Recipes page. If you’re interested, please take a look.

I’ll let you know when I come up with a toilet paper alternative.  No, the Sears catalog, leaves and expired coupons aren’t acceptable.
