Family On A Budget

Why Milk? is featuring a drawing for free milk for a year. You can enter the drawing and get a coupon for a free gallon of white milk with and $100 grocery purchase. I was able to print out two coupons with a 30 day expiration date. I am thinking my Giant Eagle may not take this coupon because it is over $3.00 but I can always head over to Walmart for one of my trips.

Thanks to Common Sense with Money for the coupon heads up.

Here is our menu for this week. That makes two weeks straight for me. Most of the meals this week are coming from items I already have in the freezer. While I am not following the freezer challenge that some of you are I am making an effort to use what I have. A few of the items are great bargains that Giant Eagle is having this week.

Monday: Roasted Chicken, potatoes and carrots. (held over from last week):

Tuesday: Salmon Cakes with buttered whole wheat noodles and green beans. (using leftover salmon from Saturdays dinner).

Wednesday: Meatball sandwiches (frozen meatballs with Ragu and mozzarella cheese) with sweet potato fries and salad.

Thursday: Turkey and Black Bean Burgers with salsa (recipe from The Deen Brother’s New Cookbook, but here is almost an exact match online already.) I made a pot of Black Beans this weekend and have some ground turkey in the freezer. I also have the frozen corn and salsa in the pantry already. Will need to pick up an avocado to add to the salsa.

I do not have any small children so normally I just scan through the diaper stuff, but we do like to by baby wipes to keep in the bathroom for extra freshness. Coupons.com currently has a set of new Huggies printables and there is one for $.75 off of baby wipes.

Additionally UPromise also has eCoupons for Huggies and I selected the Buy any 2 Package of HUGGIES Baby Wipes, save $1.00 for college.

I am hoping that Giant Eagle has a sale for these coming up because this could result in some inexpensive wipes.
