Eat From the Pantry Challenge

Photo credit
As I mentioned on Facebook last night, we cleaned out the fridge last night and were shocked by the amount of food that we waste when things are shoved to the back, or ingredients have gone bad because we didn't plan the meal.  I'm determined to make changes in these habits, and I know that one of the best ways to  make the most of what you have is to make a meal plan.

I've never been terribly motivated to plan our meals out each and every week, but I do notice a change in the mood of our home between 4:30 and 5:30 when I do. I also notice a marked decrease in eating out, unplanned grocery purchases and the general lack of the feeling of "what's for dinner?"  Plus, you spend less if you use what you have on hand!  That's one of the reasons why I stock up when I can get chicken for $0.50/lb, and pasta for $0.20.

This month, a week at a time I will plan meals in advance, using primarily items already on hand from my pantry and freezer.  The reason I only am planning a week at a time is because I like to incorporate sale items when possible, and I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, since baby #2 is on the way soon!

Breakfasts: Cereal, Oatmeal or Toast, Fruit and Cheese or Yogurt
Lunches: Leftovers, Sandwiches, Wraps, etc
Snacks: Fruits, Veggies, Yogurt, Applesauce (see below)
Dinners:
Dinner with friends
Pasta with red sauce (add fresh sauteed zucchini, tomatoes and basil), salad
Steak on the grill with skillet potatoes (pick up a handful of red potatoes at the farmers market)
Breakfast for dinner: eggs, toast, fruit, hash browns, sausage
One night will be left open for leftovers

Also, I've got apple fever here. We've been gifted LOTS of apples, so I'll be making 2-4 pies or crisps to eat and share with others and hopefully 2 more to freeze. And, we've been eating them as snacks every time we're hungry! Thanks, Amanda!

I shouldn't need to buy much, since I bought milk and fruit over the weekend.  I plan to purchase only the best deals this week using a limited budget.

Meal Planning Tips:
  • I keep a list of meals we like, and recipes stashed all in one place
  • When going to choose meals for a meal plan, I look first in the freezer and pantry.  Based on the meat and pantry items, I'll choose meals to make for that week.  Often, the items on sale that week can be incorporated as well!
  • If you have ingredients to use and aren't sure how, do a search by ingredient at allrecipes.com
  • Look at your family calendar to allow for nights you won't be eating at home so that you don't plan extra meals.  Plus, I love this tip from the FM Cheapskate Facebook page: if you won't be home in time to prepare a meal, use your crock pot!  Thanks, Adrianna!
  • Use a printable meal planning page, like the one here from Money Saving Mom.  Or, do an internet search to find one that works for you.  Someday, I'd love to make this this magnetic menu planning board.  It's so functional and cute!
I think the easiest thing to do is over-complicate it.  I'm really good at that.  A sheet of paper with your 5-6 dinners written on it is all you need.  Or, if you're a smart phone person, maybe there's an app for that.  Who knows.  Just give it a whirl and let us know how it goes!  

If you have tips for the rest of us, please share them!  I enjoy meal-planning but am no expert.  Anyone up for the challenge?

Kellogg's Rebates + HOT Deals at Cash Wise!

There are several great ways to get a deal on Kellogg's Cereals this week at Cash Wise! We have a Cash Wise coupon, Manufacturer's coupons and rebate offers to take advantage of!  So, remember you can use 1 manufacturer's coupon and 1 store coupon per item.

Here's the main deal and the coupons that are available:

Rice Krispies 12 oz, Corn Flakes 18 oz, Cocoa Krispies 16.5 oz, Fun Pack 8.6 oz, Raisin Bran 20 oz, Honey Smacks 15.3 oz $2
Use the Cash Wise in store coupon to save $3 when you purchase 5
Stack with 2 $1/2 Kellogg's cereal coupons from the 8/7 RP insert
Or the $1/3 Honey Smacks coupon from the 7/24 RP
Final price: as low as $0.40 per item after coupons!
Plus, if you buy 2 Corn Flakes save $1.50 on Fresh Fruit with the coupon from the Kellogg's New School Year Coupon Book!

But, the deal gets better when you combine with a rebate or two!

Cars Points
Look for boxes marked with Cars Points. Specially marked particpating Kellogg's cereals have a 16 digit code inside that you'll enter online and redeem for goodies.  My favorite would have to be the $5 gas cash gift card, for only 4 points!  Enter and redeem 30 points maximum for this promotion through 6/30/12.  Thanks, Beth!

$10 Gas Card
Secondly, buy particpiating Kellogg's cereals that qualify for a $10 gas cash gift card when you buy 10! The 10 don't have to be purchased all together. I'm not sure if you can overlap these 2 rebates, as one requires you to mail in UPC's and the other only requires you to enter codes online from the boxes.  You can mail in 5 of these $10 gas card rebates per household by 12/31/2011!

Let us know what fabulous deals you're able to snag with this great combo of promotions this week!

If your kids could use a haircut before school begins, get out today and take advantage of Josef's School of Hair Design's Cuts for Kids! Josef's and the Salvation Army have partnered to bring FREE haircuts to kids entering grades K-12 just before school starts!

From The Fargo Forum:

The event is from 12:30 to 6 p.m. Monday at Josef’s School of Hair Design, 627 NP Ave. N. in Fargo. Clients will be served on a first-come, first served basis.

Save Coin: $65 for a 2 Hour Home Deep Cleaning!


I have to hand it to the guys over at Save Coin.  I've been asking for this deal since I knew we would be expecting a baby early this fall.  A sincere thank you to whoever made it happen!

You know I am a cheapskate. You know I am frugal and try not to spend money frivolously. You may not know that cleaning and I don't always meet eye to eye.   I clean. Not as often as I think I should, but I can wipe a sink and vacuum a floor.  But deep cleaning and being 8 months pregnant do not go together in my book.   I am beyond thrilled that for a mere $65 I will be able to scratch "Deep Clean the House" off my "Before Baby Arrives" list.

Thank you Save Coin and FM Peachy Clean for offering this deal, as I'm sure you're running it just for me!  :)

Anyhoo, today's deal is $65 for a 2 Hour 2 Person Deep Clean of your Home!   The green cleaners, FM Peachy Clean are local moms who get it.  They also offer lots of other cleaning services.  It's a $150 value, but to me it's priceless.  Limit 1 per household, but you may purchase one more as a gift. (Know anyone expecting a baby?  Going though a tough family or medical situation?  What a blessing this gift would be!)  There are only 200 available, so act quickly if you plan to purchase one!

Rue La La: FREE $10 Credit for Joining!


Rue La La is offering a $10 credit to new members just for signing up with this link!

Rue La La is a deal site that offers new deals each day for a limited period of time, but you'll find great discounts! A FREE $10 should easily score you a FREE item, maybe even cover part of shipping costs! The credit is only available for new sign-ups through 8/23, so hurry to request your $10 credit today!

Credit will appear in your account within 48 hours and will expire if not used by 9/18/11.
