E-Mealz.. my dinner savior!

"MOOOOOMMMMMMMM whats for dinner.. I'm STARVING!"

How many times a week do you hear that??

I use E-Mealz.com for all my dinner recipes and ideas! Each week I am emailed a 7 day menu and complete grocery list! How easy is that!

You can pick from dozens of different "menu" options, like regular food, low fat, point based (think weight watchers) you can also pick from general grocery store, walmart only, aldi only... lots of options!

For just $1.25 each week its a no brainer!

The menus each week super cheap.. so even without coupons you can shop each week for $75-85 bucks! And add in coupons.. I am shopping for around $20.00 bucks a week!

Hows the food you ask? AWESOME! My kids have asked for several of the menu items again, but since I get a new menu each week.. we have not had a repeat dinner in MONTHS! I will admit, there are a few duds here and there, things I know my family wont eat, but its not like I dont have a mind of my own anymore, I just think of something else for dinner that night!

Toy Story 1 and 2 on blu-ray for 15.98!

If you go to here to the Disney Movie Rewards page you can print either a 5.00 off or a 10.00 off coupon for Toy Story 1 and 2.

The 5.00 off coupon is easy to print. The 10.00 off coupon requires you to enter the "upc" from the VHS copy of the movie you already own. I am sure you can find the upc if you look hard enough!

If you can print the 10.00 off coupons.. then head over to Target!

Laundry soap and body wash!

So, I went to Walmart for more laundry soap, to give away, since I have at least 2 years worth already. Walmart was out of the 50oz bottle of All 2x that matches the Big Lots ad, so the gal said she would sub for the All 3x, which did not match the coupon. So she looked at the coupon, which was good only on 50oz or larger, and said I could get the 50oz 3x All with my coupon, and would still price match to Big Lots... it was 6.88 a bottle.. and I got it for .50 cents! HOLY COW! The best part, its for HE washers and dryers, which my best friend has.. and now shes the proud owner of 2 years worth of laundry soap, for 6 bucks!! Its 600 loads, thats just a penny a load!

Target had 8 oz bottles of Gillette body wash for 1.78 each and Gillette Clinical Sport deoderant for 1.78 as well. There was a coupon in the 2/21 P&G insert for 4.00/2, which makes them both free! I got all 18 bottles for 2.51 in tax!

Spent 11.14, saved 105.20
