Cool Site. I don't know how you only spend $50.00 dollars a week. I spend about $150. a week for a family of five. Are you including your household products? How do you do it? Would love to hear how. I have been trying to cut back on my grocery bill for years.
Those apple pie muffins sound delish! I am going to give those a try! have a wonderful week!
Hey Gayle,
Go to slick deals, walmart forum

and scroll down you will see a run down of deals and links to coupons for various items
I noticed you bought pickles and they have a link to coupons $1.00 off valasic pickles or relish. They don't expire until December 08 They can make for some good cheep pickles or relish--you get three to a page. I have used them and they work great no scanning issues.
Hey, did you know that you can actually wash your shower curtain liner??
Yep!
Wash it in hot water with one cup of salt. This will kill all the mold and yuck and actually make it resist mold and scum too!
There, that saves you at least 2 bucks!!
Am I speakin' your language??
Leanne
I just found you via Organizing Junkie and I think I'm going to stick around and see what you have to say. I've been perusing your blog and bookmarking recipes for a while now. Keep up the good work!!
the apple pie muffins are awesome. The only thing is that when you reheat them the topping is not crisp. My husband doesn't care though--He said that these are "way better" than the Panera Bread muffins he's been getting! He's very sad that they are all gone in just two days ;-)
