A bargain I just couldn't pass up!!

Perhaps by now, it's well-known that my three favorite "C" words are Carol (daughter's name), Coupons (duh), and CLEARANCE (double-duh)!  

Coupled with my strange obsession with boxes and various storage containers, this deal at my local Kroger immediately coaxed me over. I snagged 10 storage boxes (shoe box size) for a TOTAL of $2.50!!

What will I do with all of these boxes?  I don't know yet, but for a quarter a piece, I simply couldn't resist indulging in my OCD-driven obsession with all things organization.  :o)

    Hey, y'all. I should have been more specific: this was from a few days ago, and they were being snatched up as I was snatching up mine.

    But for curious minds, it was at the Dunwoody Club Kroger, in Dunwoody/Sandy Springs.

    Kroger frequently has clearance deals like this. Once, I scored a big pack (not just the small jumbo size) of Pull-Ups for $9 on clearance, plus a coupon I had, so they were less than the smaller packs in the isle.

    I've also gotten some cute little salsa bowls on clearance for 49 cents a few weeks ago. Guess what I'll be gifting this Christmas? ;o)

(Shhh.... Sneaky) Sloppy Joes

Want to bulk up a simple classic with some veggies?  Try my Sneaky Sloppy Joes. Sauté some onions, garlic (two staples I put in just about any skillet dish), finely diced squash, finely chopped spinach.  You can also add finely diced carrots, bell peppers of assorted colors, brocolli, and whatever else you can sneak in to the pan!  I do all this before browning the ground turkey.  Then, prepare as you normally would, whether your sloppy joe sauce is canned, enveloped, or made-from-scratch (c'mon!). I've been packing mine with extra veggies for over a year, and no one is none the wiser.  Yet. (Please don't show this to my family...  please?) This recipe is also posted under my Big Oven account.  :o)

Ditching the Sponge

Ditching the Sponge This summer I accomplished something I once thought unthinkable: I gave up the sponge.  It was a gripping addiction, harder to kick than a nasty nicotine habit.   ...a habit that had the ability to spar k the silliest of arguments amongst even the best of   roomies.  Right, SwimBikeMom ?  :P  But once again, I digress; that's a blog for another day. Perhaps a tad  OCD, I was one of *those* people who had a sponge designated for various parts of the kitchen: one for the floor, one for the counters, and another one for dishes.  I knew for quite some time that sponges were a breeding ground for all things disgusting; however, I was not keen on the idea of using paper towels, or other disposable products -- I had  to find a GREEN alternative to sponges.

Unit Price, Unit Price, Unit Price!!!

I have discovered that many people do not take unit price in to account when attempting to shop savvily.  (Did I just make up a new word?!!)  So for my fellow frugal shoppers, or my frugal-shoppers-in-training, let me explain the value in knowing the unit price of an item you wish to purchase, or are pondering purchasing. What the heck is a unit price??
