This week Softsoap body wash is $3.49- use .75/1 from today’s inserts and pay $2.74. Then get a coupon for another free body wash. So each one is $1.37. The great thing is that this deal is rolling! For new Walgreens shoppers that means use the free coupon you get and another free coupon will come out and so on and so on… This happens frequently with these deals at Walgreens- they will eventually catch the error and correct it so hurry to score this deal. The shelves will be empty very soon. Thanks HCW! THEY CAUGHT THE MISTAKE AND CORRECTED IT. But now you know for next time! :)

Menu Planning Monday ($30 budget!)

03/29/2009

Share

Every night I prepare 3 meals- a regular version, a vegetarian version and a toddler version… all on $30/ week. Here’s what we have planned for next week:

MON:
Regular-Steak with sauteed mushrooms and steamed veggies
Toddler- Same
Vegetarian: Chef Salad (minus the ham)

TUES:
Regular- Pasta with Chicken Breast and Mushroom Marinara Sauce
Vegetarian- Same minus the chicken
Toddler- Same with very light sauce

WED:
Regular- Chicken Sandwich w/ Orzo Salad (I also add feta cheese)
Vegetarian- Same but substitute Boca chicken patty
Toddler: Chicken breast and veggies

THURS:
All: Homemade pizza- I top it with mozzarella and whatever veggies I have on hand. Probably mushrooms and red peppers this week.

FRI:
Regular- Hamburgers (Grilling season is here!) steamed veggies & french fries
Vegetarian- Same but with a Boca burger
Toddler- Hamburger patty with veggies (I also mix pureed broccoli into the patty)
SAT:
Regular- Chicken and Rice soup w/ french bread
Vegetarian- Organic Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup w/ french bread
Toddler- Broccoli Chicken Nuggets
SUN:
Regular- Whole Wheat Apple Pancakes* w/ Turkey Bacon
Vegetarian- Same with veggie sausage
Toddler- Pancakes with Turkey Bacon
*I skip the topping and make a triple batch of these to freeze for week day mornings. They are so filling and so good!

For dessert I am going to make these incredible cookies (again) and this cupcake from Ultimate Recipe Showdown. I am going to substitute a sweet potato baby food I have left and am going to try the mango applesauce I bought from Target last week.

Target Update

**The West Coast Target ad features 8pk Pepsi- check your ad carefully before you try the great Pepsi scenerio here.

**I found O-Cel-o sponges on clearance- 2pks for $1.48. Use $1/2 from 3/8SS= $1.96 4 sponges

**Windex Outdoor Starter Kit Window Cleaner- use $3/1 Target coupon here and $3/1 Starter Kit MQ from 3/29SS and One Buy One starter kit get a refill free here. The starter kits are priced at $14.99- so get both items for $8.99. The price is effective through 5/2 so you can try to hold out for a sale but the Target q will have expired. (Thanks Team Boyd!)

Ross:
We have been looking for shoes that my daughter can wear to the beach and to swim lessons and I found these at Ross for .49! They are a little big but obviously too good to pass up.

I have a $15 budget for a new lamp for my night stand. I found this lamp on clearance for $5.49 and the shade was $3.99. Total for all three items was $10.69.

This lamp isn’t exactly what I wanted for my bedroom but it will do for now. I am planning to redo our daughter’s room this summer and I can paint the base and it will be perfect for her.

Did you miss my post on how I decorated our guest room for $13? Click here to see!
