I am a sucker for Combo Loco and Meal Deals at H-E-B. I usually try to base my weekly meals around what the Combo Loco Deals are and the groceries I have stockpiled at home. I also try and add to my stockpile when I find unbeatable deals. For example: The deal below for Bumble Bee Tuna is one that I would stock up on. When you buy Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna (12oz), you get FREE H-E-B Melt Shells & Cheese. Both the Tuna and the Shells & Cheese have a pretty good shelf life AND I know they are items that we will eat in our home. My kids are crazy about tuna and tuna salad! It’s also a very cheap and easy way to make lunch! My daughter starts full days in school this year (Kindergarten) and I plan on making her lunch everyday. Tuna Salad and Tuna Sandwiches will be something I will be making for her lunches to take to school. Like I said, it’s cheap, easy, healthy and would go great with some carrot sticks and maybe some cut up fruit! What are some things that you like to make your child for lunch?? Leave a comment and let me know! I’d love to get some more ideas!

If you have kids then you know how hard traveling and staying in hotels can be. I know all too well about this challenge!!! The good news is that Marriott Hotels and Nickelodeon have started a promotion that is sure to make your trip a little easier!

At over 2,000 Marriott brand hotels across America you can “Nickelodeon Your Stay“.  All kids get free activities including a Nickelodeon bracelet with a code to access free online games at Nick.com, and an activity book with challenging puzzles and mazes.  Kids who eat at the hotels’ restaurants also receive a placemat featuring favorite Nickelodeon characters, SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer.

Marriott and Nickelodeon also offer an upgrade package at several of Marriott’s brands, including Courtyard, Fairfield Inn & Suites, SpringHill Suites, Residence Inn and TownePlace Suites  locations for $10 that includes all the free items plus a SpongeBob activity bag and splash ball, Nickelodeon sunglasses, and a 3-D build-your-own SpongeBob craft. The package costs $20 at Marriott and JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts and kids get all the above items and a special SpongeBob SquarePants or Dora the Explorer pillowcase and storybook.

I had a chance to review a Nickelodeon Activity Bag with several of the goodies mentioned above. My kids had a blast with the activities! The Splash Ball is fun for your kids to take to the pool with them or even to play with in the bathtub! Building the 3-D build-your-own Spongebob won my sons heart over, haha. My daughter was very quick to grab the Pillow Case and put it on her pillow and the activity books are still keeping them busy!!! If you are planning a stay at the Marriott I would highly recommend you Nickelodeon Your Stay!

Mom Central in conjunction with Nickelodeon and Marriott hotels provided me with an activity bag at no cost. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have been signed up with Inbox Dollars for over two years now. It was the first survey site that I ever signed up with. You can get paid to read emails (2 cents per email), get paid to take surveys, play games (winster, etc.) and more! Yes, you only get 2 cents per email, however if you click all the emails they send you, this can add up to 50 dollars or more a year! You can also earn more by taking paid surveys. Most surveys take about 15-20 minutes. I’ll be the first one to tell you that you won’t get rich from taking online surveys, however this cash does add up over time! If you can spend an hour or so a week taking paid surveys then you can earn several hundred dollars easy throughout the year. Inbox Dollars allows you to “cash out” when you reach $30. I personally am not cashing any of my survey checks this year until a few months before Christmas. I am saving it all up until then!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Mission Foods. All opinions are 100% mine.

I recently got the opportunity to do a review on Mission Tortillas. This was a lot of fun for us because we are always making some sort of Breakfast Tacos, Fajitas or Quesadillas! We decided that we’d take this Mission Menus Challenge and make our weekend favorite Breakfast Tacos! These are super easy to make and very yummy! Of course, my kids are always happy just munching on Tortillas by themselves, haha.

We start by chopping up bacon, cooking it and setting it to the side. Next we scramble up our eggs while adding the bacon pieces, I like to throw in chunk of cheese with my eggs while I’m scrambling them too! To top if off, you must add salsa! You can add various items to your Tacos to fit your needs. One ingredient that I was missing was Cilantro, I am addicted to Cilantro! I’ve attached a few pictures below for your pleasure, haha.

You can take the Mission Menu Challenge and submit a budget-friendly recipes to Mission at Mission Menus Challenge for a chance to compete in a cook-off in Los Angeles and win a $10,000 dream kitchen makeover as well as a host of weekly prizes.
The grand prize winner will win round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations for two to the Mission Menus Challenge Cook-off on September 10, 2010 at the Hard Rock Café in Los Angeles. You will have until August 9th to submit your recipes! 

Here’s a neat fact about Mission Tortillas: Mission Tortillas has partnered with Share Our Strength “No Kid Hungry”, their goal is to end child hunger in America by 2015. Click Mission Menus Challenge for more details.

Stephen’s HOT Target and CVS Deals!

Reader Stephen has started rocking the Target deals!!! I might need to start taking Target lessons from him, LOL.

The purses you see below were on clearance at Target for $2.50! Stephen used a $3 off Target Merona Coupon and actually made $.50 on each bag he bought (he got 10!!!). Let’s hope Stephen passes these purses out to the women in his life and not keep them for himself! HAHA. Stephen…you know you are laughing right now!!!

10 of those bags, 2 packs of socks, 1 pair of shorts and 1 tube of
kids toothpaste and 2 packs of gum. Total cost= $0.00!!!

Stephen scored the Nioxin products FREE at CVS last week and he got the Sebastian products FREE from BzzAgent!

42 Pretzel M&M’s at CVS for a total of about $2.54.

I think Stephen is set for Halloween this year with all those M&M’s!!! Either that or we’ll need to start searching for a free dentist appt. for him, hahahaha.
