Penny-pinching
Diva Strikes Again!
I
know you know by now that I love to save money. I love coupons. I love sales. I
love deals. So, when I found some today, I was ecstatic and decided to share
the fun. So, here goes.
I
went to my local grocery store, Pilgrim’s Food liner~which can be quite expensive~and
found some great deals. I found bananas that were on clearance. These bananas
were turning brown and about to ruin. So, why would I buy them? Simple. They
were an awesome deal. I took the bananas and turned them into 2 great breakfast
meals. They became banana nut bread, which I like to eat with my morning
cappuccino, and they will become banana pancakes. Here is a great tip. Instead
of using pecans in my banana nut bread. I used walnuts. They are cheaper, and once
they are chopped up and added to the mix, they taste the same.
Since
the holidays are over, I want to try to eat healthier. I found carrots on sale
along with collard greens, Dole salad, and spinach. I love all of these, and
they are healthy. So, win…win. I also got to receive a Box top for education. (This
is an awesome program. Be sure to see if your school participates or to find a
school that you can donate them to at http://www.boxtops4education.com/ )The
coupon is located on the carrots. This will be collected and given to my local
school. See. I am saving money and helping the local school.
(The bread smelt so good. I couldn't wait to eat it. So, I cut off a piece and had a bite.)
I
didn’t use any coupons on this trip. Wow! My grocery does double couponing on
Wednesdays. I love this, and I usually wait until Wednesdays to make most of my
purchases, but today, I was just on a quick grocery run.
Well,
my banana nut bread is ready. And, I will be digging in!
