Menu Plan Monday

We had a wonderful time in Chicago, but always great to be home! The kids had a blast without us also, Chloe (my 4 year old) did not want to come home, but she did!

So here is our menu plan for the week. My weekend schedule will probably change since I think my BIL is coming up from Florida for the weekend but not sure yet!

Monday - Chicken & Potatoes (on the grill) Corn & bread

Tuesday- Tacos- Chips & salsa

Wednesday- Pancakes & Sausage (we love Bob Evans original sausage)

Thursday- Chicken Burgers (a guy that works for my husband makes chickenburger will let you know what we think of it!)- watermelon- green beans

Friday- Pizza

Saturday- Out to eat

Sunday- Everyone on their own (unless my BIL is here then I will cook something?)

Have a great week everyone! Mine will be busy as usually!

CHICAGO

We are going to CHICAGO!
The pic yesterday was looking west down the Chicago River; Michigan Avenue Bridge

We are looking forward to getting away from work, and busy schedules and spend some time together. The kids will be well taken care of, they won't be going with us!
And we will definitely be going here:

One of my favorite places to go in Chicago! I will be sure to share pics and what we did in Chicago! Have a great weekend!

Can you guess where I am going this Weekend?

My husband and I are celebrating our 10th Anniversary! In ??????? for the weekend. I'll let you know where we are going tomorrow! Let's see if you can guess!

Weekly Shopping Trip!

I love to save money on my groceries, I shop the sales with the coupons, a great way to save money. We have a family of 5 and my weekly budget is $60.00 a week, that includes everything food, toiletries, etc. I usually shop CVS, Meijer, Kroger and sometimes Wal-Greens!

This week I shopped at Meijer:
Here is what I got 58 Items for a total amount spent of $57.80, or .99 for each item. I like to keep that under a dollar, I just made it this week!


Also got this for free, buy 10 Kellogg products get $10.00 off a backpack, this backpack was priced $7.99 so it was free! My daughter was excited she loves PINK!



I like to stockpile when sales come on, you won't see much meat when we shop at meijer, I shop our local butcher shop, great prices and great meat! I usually go once a month and spend around $30.00 (this is included in the $60 a week, I usually skip shopping one week and just go to the butcher shop) and that meat will last us a month. We also have other meat that we bought in bulk in our freezer that we use alot. Any questions let me know. So how did you do this week?

Wordless Wednesday!

My Baby....she is now 4! This was taken the day we got home from the hospital! I love this pic!

Review & Giveaway! -Ended July 27

This is what all she sent me a very nice company to talk to, be sure to check out their website.
Mystic Wonders Inc.--Complete Laundry System

I was so excited to receive my first product and to be able to do a review on this! I have heard people talk about and was very curious in the Mystic Wonders Complete Laundry System!

So I got my package, my girls were very excited to see the bracelets in the box! There was also several other items in the box besides the laundry ball.
First off The Chapstick I absoletly love... a few days after I received this I was in the sun and my lips got sun burnt, so I used the Chapstick for a few days and they were fine. No chapping whatsoever! They felt smooth and the chapstick did not make my lips feel sticky like some I have tried. (My husband says I am addicted to chapstick so I use a lot of this and have tried lots of different kinds)

Wonder Goat Milk Soap: I used this also and it leaves your skin feeling soft. It also rinses very easily. A great product!

And then the Laundry Ball! It was very strange not putting any soap in the washer, I put the laundry ball in started the washer, add the clothes and that was it! After using the laundry ball for about 2 weeks now, I really like the laundry ball. My clothes look and smell clean. Even my towels (I always think they have a musty smell to them especially in the summer) they smell clean, no musty smell! So you are asking how does this Laundry Ball work click here to read all about it, she explains it much better than me!

Dryer Balls- Love it also, no sheets to throw in the dryer! And my clothes are not static when they come out!

And Now the Giveaway! They are very generous- There will be 1 who will win the Complete Laundry System and 5 who will win a 1 year laundry ball!

For those who may not know... I like to shop with coupons and I match my coupons with the store sales! I like to shop at Meijer and Kroger, my Meijer doubles up to $.50 and my Kroger triples up to $.50. I also like to shop at CVS & Wal-Greens!
So here is what I got on my $60. a week grocery budget!


I spent:
$2.37 at Wal-Greens
$34.36 at Meijers I bought 42 items so that is about $.82 for each item.
$15.00 at our Local Butcher Shop for Hamb & Chicken!
Total of $51.73 I was under budget this week!

I had a rain check on the Quilted Northern from last week, and I got some fruit and vegtables that I did not have coupons for, it was a pretty good week.
