<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">"I want nachos" is perhaps one of the things I hear most in my house every weekend. The little turkeys can't get enough of them.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Mommy likes to keep it simple.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">First take your baking sheet line it with foil and then turn your oven to the broiler setting.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Take your favorite tortilla chips and line the cookie sheet up with them.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmtS_DvaOsB8DBI5SElCsYNsKfpWywdaWZhRnfht-CEMNndf3E6dlZD57Bo-cT9KtftPkOD55p8m3-zDFgRFMyeqj51jD1ryBO4oaV4U7rQZn1QR8hGkV4WDubgAlbWa13dlmHFmSrDJYP/s1600/100_0451.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmtS_DvaOsB8DBI5SElCsYNsKfpWywdaWZhRnfht-CEMNndf3E6dlZD57Bo-cT9KtftPkOD55p8m3-zDFgRFMyeqj51jD1ryBO4oaV4U7rQZn1QR8hGkV4WDubgAlbWa13dlmHFmSrDJYP/s320/100_0451.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Forget the expensive shredded cheese, grab a block of cheddar cheese and the cheese grater you haven't used but once when you first bought it and start shredding away.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu_MwqwCdWXlpx7vFHJcPcudXfpVSEkZRJDyapa7UEJZcn4NhBp1IKhZ-kxvm-ULEMOtMB7ZSA8mT0CYiiAlhFLDYppgwR-fGh76_SEw73T9OMKvROrQpzGBOCd8YdJQDnbCdinrtRjOld/s1600/100_0453.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu_MwqwCdWXlpx7vFHJcPcudXfpVSEkZRJDyapa7UEJZcn4NhBp1IKhZ-kxvm-ULEMOtMB7ZSA8mT0CYiiAlhFLDYppgwR-fGh76_SEw73T9OMKvROrQpzGBOCd8YdJQDnbCdinrtRjOld/s320/100_0453.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Once the oven is warmed stick the nachos in on the bottom rack for around 3-5 minutes depending on your oven. Just keep an eye on them.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Now if their not salty enough spread just a bit of Celtic Sea Salt on them and start piling on the toppings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">I don't like to load my nachos with lots of heavy things in the summer. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Simple, crunchy, cheesy, and full of flavor is my thing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">In this house the munchkins love sour cream, salsa,and those little pickled peppers.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Serve them up on a bright and colorful platter and voila an affordable 10 minute dinner.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Enjoy,</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Whenever you have a football team to entertain and feed everyday you sometimes have to really tighten your belt to come up with the extras.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">A local furniture store is offering a great special for families in the greater OKC area.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Zoo passes can be bought with a $30 discount.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">We had to buy the $85.00 special and we got a free gift. A simple wooden train.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">The part they don't announce to the public is that you also get a $30.00 gift card to the Zoo gift shop.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">In other words $55.00 for a one year Zoo pass.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Not bad for 9 people.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">The kids love the little cups in the gift shop that look like animals.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">I have the feeling that's where that $30.00 will be spent.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">The nice part is that they talk about it non stop.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">So it's a learning experience.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Hope Your Summer Planning is Going Well,</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Hi Ya'll,</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Sorry for the long break but I'm a new mommy and loving it. With that being said being a new mommy to 4 means that saving money and stretching a dollar is more important than ever. I have all boys. Yep. We're a fam of 6 and it's expensive to feed a crowd. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">With the whole moving thing I really haven't focused on couponing that much in the last few months but my binder is ready to be refilled.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Have you seen the price of groceries lately?</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">It runs about $200.00 a week to feed this crowd and this mommy is sick of paying that. So much wasted money down the drain that could be spent on better things.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">So The Cute Couponer is back and ready to save some serious dough.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">We're taking gardening to a new level too. These babies need lots of fresh fruits and veggies.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">I started printing my coupons last night.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Oh coupons how I've missed you.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Happy Spring,</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Happy New Year, long time no see. I've been tied up for awhile, my grandmother is very ill and not expected to live long and I'd like to spend all available time I have with her. I did manage to get quite a bit of after Christmas shopping done though. It's amazing what you can accomplish on 15-30 minute breaks when you are determined. In the photo above I snagged the sheet sets for $7.00 a piece, killer deal!!!! I've needed my own bundt cake pan for awhile and Paula Deen had one out for Christmas that on clearance I snagged for $5.00, lots of cake to come!!!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">This is just the beginning!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">I'm frantically trying to find a place for it all.</span></div>Valerie Cottage Making Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14831007433839333747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642095605601267600.post-27236440524448884782012-01-01T12:27:00.000-06:002012-01-01T12:27:48.184-06:00Frugal is Fabulous ------ Happy New Year<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Happy New Year</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Boy it's gonna be a good one I feel it in my bones.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">It started off with me having a 3 day weekend. Anytime the New Year starts with me getting rest I know it's going to be an awesome year.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Well what better way to get off to a good start to a New Year than to talk about saving money.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Now before you start grumbling remember saving money is fun!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Frugal is Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">That's our them for 2012</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Everything about saving money should be fun. Think of this year as a great challenging game. If you like crossword puzzles and word searches and all the board games than frugality is for you. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">It's a challenge but we're making it sooooo fun, fun, fun.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">We're gonna coupon shop, thrift shop, garage sale, online shop, craigslist shop, do curbside pick up, and hit all the major malls and boutique stores not to mention wholesale shop.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">It's shoppers gone crazy here.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">The best part is we're going to pay a fraction of what everyone else is paying.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">My kind of shopping.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">We're going to talk about saving money on absolutely EVERYTHING.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">From home to work to church and everything in between if your not living it frugally than your not living up to your potential money wise.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">So check in daily and see what the 75% off lifestyle is all about.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Here frugal is fabulous!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Happy 2012 and welcome.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"> Happy Savings,</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">So it's almost Christmas and many of you are cooking a turkey again. Now for me and my family we like to mix it up a bit. If you aren't soakin your turkey in brine your aren't livin, period.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Now most turkey brine recipes ingredients cost a fortune.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">A few years ago on recommendation from a friend of my mom's, we took a trip to Williams Sonoma and bought their turkey brine. Scrumpscious, delicious, never knew a turkey could taste that good are all thoughts that have come to mind when eating this.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">For $18.50 it soaks two turkeys. You can't beat that! Cha-Ching!!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">I'm saving my 2nd half for Easter!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmxD4Ex3UEOMCpa3REv0HdQHOf2fvoIAq2k3P7UvCFvyIEmdPAdBW9c4uXHkTVHmempQBG7UCAQf4c8jx899v6b8a130jvWEi687XKObePOCsPpuZxefKLbXFv8rA1dS2WO4wvCdsVzWU/s1600/DSCN1581.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmxD4Ex3UEOMCpa3REv0HdQHOf2fvoIAq2k3P7UvCFvyIEmdPAdBW9c4uXHkTVHmempQBG7UCAQf4c8jx899v6b8a130jvWEi687XKObePOCsPpuZxefKLbXFv8rA1dS2WO4wvCdsVzWU/s320/DSCN1581.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">It's really quite simple how this works. Boil the ingredients in some apple juice and water pour it over your turkey that's sitting in a mega-sized bowl, add more water, and cover.</span></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGbLZFnoFZz4A1uoOymBeWDucTh-1KC6i4sogcisLGYZHH9ZDm8LTlXIXXelGvIM6t5ZyhhghqJeNQPBadLhoeTZZHaOtC1J_wRUMztO1ebiojv-33VJzHbuWXv34YW_eVia2VO9C9W3E/s1600/DSCN1582.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGbLZFnoFZz4A1uoOymBeWDucTh-1KC6i4sogcisLGYZHH9ZDm8LTlXIXXelGvIM6t5ZyhhghqJeNQPBadLhoeTZZHaOtC1J_wRUMztO1ebiojv-33VJzHbuWXv34YW_eVia2VO9C9W3E/s320/DSCN1582.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Stick it in your fridge for at least three days... for Mega flavor and voila the best turkey ever for minimal effort.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">They also have it on sale after Christmas.... hint... hint!</span><br />

<div style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">I love Cask and Cream. It's like Bailey's and Cream but richer. It's great over ice or mixed in with coffee.</span></div><br />

<div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">I left Grandma's at 8:00 p.m. Thursday with no real leftovers in hand. My soup was a success. I drove by Wal-Mart on the way home and saw the parking lot was full, so I decided to go on home. Then I let the doggies out fell asleep on the couch and woke up around 4 a.m., fooey!</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">I thought about going shopping then but I was so tired I decided to let it go. It's a good thing too because I ran by Wally World last night after work to get dog food and everything was sold out. The cashiers and everyone I talked to said people didn't buy just 1, 2, or 3 of everything they bought 20 Blu-Ray players and 20 Crock Pots each. That so wouldn't have flown with me. Shelf clearing on Black Friday is a no no. I was really disappointed Wal-Mart allowed it. Common sense is that no single person needs to buy 20 Blu-Ray players even if they have alot of family and friends. Come on people 20 Crock Pots, I don't think so.</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Remember the saying, Wal-Mart fall apart. You get what you pay for there.</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">So I am confident there will be plenty more deals to be had. I was disappointed to miss the protesters in Midwest City in Target, I always love to see protesters whether I agree with them or not. It makes me feel like people really do care and want to make a difference in the world. The only bad part is that they picked a bad location for their protest. Gag!!! Better luck next time for them. Now they are all arrested in jail on a holiday weekend. How sad, what a waste of money. Just think for bail and the fines and their new records they could of sent the money overseas to the sweatshop workers and enjoyed a holiday with their family and friends.</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">So the new challenge is to see what's going to be on sale moving forward for Christmas. </span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">I can't wait to see.</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Happy Shopping,</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">We are celebrating Sunday since several family members are feeling under the weather.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm making homemade chicken noodle soup so they get feeling better.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm also looking forward to my 10:00 o'clock run to Wal-Mart.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hope you have a safe Black Friday.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Remember, if you miss out on one deal there will be many more for the next two months. It's not worth getting upset over.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hugs,</span></span><br />

<div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes you just hit gold. It's simple and practical. It's plastic, comes apart for cleaning, and on wheels and the best part is the neighbor gave it to me for free. I didn't even ask! They were moving and had no use for me and thought I might.</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now that's what I call a great weekend.</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">I still haven't been to the store for Thanksgiving shopping.</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm waiting until the last minute.</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yes, I know I'm crazy but hey, sometimes a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy This Cozy Fall Weekend,</span></div><div style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
