Walgreens shopping day

2011-10-30T17:38:00.000-07:00

My Walgreens shopping day was not too bad but I did learn about fillers. When you receive RR (register rewards) from Walgreens, they will only allow you to use 1 coupon per item. So, this is where the fillers come in. I had to go to two different Walgreens but the total was $36.04 and I paid $10.04. (I have a $2 RR left over so $12.04 - 2 = $10.04 ;)

First Walgreens Transaction
Pantene, Herbal Essence or Aussie Hair products 2/$7 = $2RR
Nivea body wash $3.99 = $2 RR
Advil 24 count $2.99 = $1 RR
Total $13.98
   $3.00/2 Pantene product coupon
   $1.00 Nivea coupon
   $1.00 Advil coupon (found here)
OOP $10.17
$2, $2, $1 RR

Second Walgreens First Transaction

CVS shopping trip

2011-10-30T17:16:00.000-07:00

There are several deals out there for CVS, but to really save, you have to buy only what you need... and this is what we needed this week :)

Total bill was $35.95 and I paid $8.38. I had the $2.00 extra CVS bonus and an extra $4.00 and $.99 buck
Here was my scenario:

First Transaction

Schick Quattro for Men or Women razors 1ct or cartridges 4ct $8.99 = $4 Ecb (limit 1)

Buy 2 Aveno lotions = $7.00 Ecb

Total $11.97

CVS: Free $2.00 ExtraBucks

2011-10-27T20:07:00.000-07:00

How about an extra $2.00, and all you have to do is have your card. Go to CVS website and make a pledge to get your $2.00 in extra bucks. How easy is that?

Left over cake

2011-02-01T05:23:00.000-08:00

If your like me, you always have that little bit of cake left over from leveling. We would always just eat it but, have you tried making cake balls with it? I've tried this recipe with just regular cake and it was great!

Red Velvet Cake Balls
http://www.bakerella.com/red-velvet-cake-balls/
I first tasted these two years ago at a Christmas party and immediately had to have the recipe. It’s based on a mix, but I imagine you can follow the same directions substituting from scratch cake and frosting (I’ll try that one day). You can also try it with other cake combinations.

Red Velvet Cake Balls
1 box red velvet cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)
1 can cream cheese frosting (16 oz.)
1 package chocolate bark (regular or white chocolate)
wax paper

1. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly with 1 can cream cheese frosting. (It may be easier to use fingers to mix together, but be warned it will get messy.)
3. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50. You can get even more if you use a mini ice cream scooper, but I like to hand roll them.)
4. Chill for several hours. (You can speed this up by putting in the freezer.)
5. Melt chocolate in microwave per directions on package.
6. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)

I also only melt a few pieces of chocolate bark at a time because it starts to cool and thicken. It’s easier to work with when it’s hot.

How to Make 3 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake | eHow.com

2010-11-14T11:19:00.000-08:00

By Angelgirlpj, eHow Member

I've been told the 3 minute Chocolate Mug Cake is the most Dangerous cake in the world. You'll have to make my cake recipe and see if you agree.

Difficulty: Easy

Things You'll Need:

1 Coffee Mug
4 Tablespoons flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons baking cocoa
1 Egg
3-4 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil
3 Tablespoons Chocolate chips (optional)
Small splash of vanilla

Get a coffee mug of choice. If you are making this as a gift choose a coffee mug especially for that person. If you are making it simply to eat just grab your favorite coffee mug.
Add dry ingredients to coffee mug and mix well.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add chocolate chips ( I used white chocolate as that is what I had) and vanilla and mix again.
Put your coffee mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, don't be alarmed.
Allow to cool a little, tip out onto plate if desired and eat.
And you might be asking why is this the most dangerous cake in the world? Because we are only minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night.

Tips & Warnings

This can serve 2 if you want to share.
You can add a few nuts to make it extra special.
A bigger Mug will keep it from going over the top.
You know what a cake looks like adjust the milk accordingly.
Don't overcook as your cake will be dry. You might want to stop a little early.

Thanksgiving Placecard Markers

2010-11-03T17:38:00.000-07:00

This is a really cute idea from Wilton

Double the fun this Thanksgiving by creating autumn-inspired place cards for the holiday table. Not only do they enhance the décor, but make scrumptious mini desserts to enjoy after the big meal.

Here´s how easy they are to make! Begin by pouring melted Candy Melts into mini loaf pan cavities and refrigerate until firm. Next, use additional melted candy to write guests´ names on the cards and to brush the edges. Dip each edge into fall-themed sprinkles to create a festive border. Your place cards are ready! Guests will be as impressed by the custom place cards as they are by the turkey and trimmings. The "cards" can be wrapped in plastic and enjoyed later if everyone is too "full" to eat another bite after the Thanksgiving feast.

Tools:

Ingredients:

Makes: Each candy serves 1.

instructions

*Brand confectionery coating.
Melt Candy Melts according to package instructions. Pour into mini loaf pan cavities creating a layer 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep. Refrigerate until firm. Unmold.
Place melted candy in disposable decorating bags; cut a small hole in tip. Write name on plaque with contrasting melted candy.
Brush edges of candy plaque with additional melted candy. Dip each edge into sprinkles. Repeat with remaining plaques.
Refrigerate until firm. Cut additional Candy Melt in half; trim one edge flat to create right angle. Attach both halves to back of plaque to act as a stand.
