Outback save $5!

Long time no blog, what a week. My computer got surged, and with DH out of work it took longer than anticipated to get this computer up and running. Jesus was with me that day I tell you!

So today in my inbox was a great deal for Outback. We don't fare there much because of our budget, but a nice place to dine. Why not save some bucks! When you order online with the code OFFER at checkout it will give you a whooping $5 off!

More deals to come as computer was down, but the deals don't stop for rain, snow, sleet or broken computers! Happy day everyone! ☼

BJ's Wholesale *SPLUGE ALERT* Savings over $200!!!!

Thanks to I heart Publix we learned about Zaycon foods coming into town. Seeing as we don't have a deep freezer [yet..], and I have been pining over a Foodsaver. Posted before I was on the fence about this, but then low and behold there was a coupon on Foodsavers on FB. The couponing Mama I am it spoke to me very evilly I might add.

After a trip to Walmart, Target, and a bit of online hunting I stopped in BJ's Wholesale because you can use coupons there. I heart this store I kid you not. So in Walmart another model was $80, or $149 for the upright version. After a bit of research on Walmart.com people said they just weren't good. I am not sure if it is the quality of Walmart products or what. Walmart and I have a love hate relationship prior... Anyhoooo back to Bj's Wholesale ♥. The Foodsaver was a G3 model for $134.99. Not only did it have a WHOLE roll [$11], gallon bags [$5], a qt canister[$5?], deli container?[$5], and lovely marinade container [$22] So ontop of saving ten bucks we got over $48 in extras.

1 Foodsaver G3 134.99-10.00mq=124.99
4 pk Foodsaver rolls 29.99-[2]2.00mq=25.99
2 pk yeast 4.49
1 Natures Made 200ct Calcium, Mag, Zinc vitamins 7.99-5.00mq-2.00bjq=  .99!!!!!

So overall savings is over $200. I just can't believe my luck. My wee bit of savings allowed me to splurge on this purchase, but still satisfy my need to save money with coupons.

Now onto the next....how do I use this thing?

Holy Pirates!

Hubby just called to tell me he was working on a special account today so he couldn't call me like usual. So he tells me that it was someone famous. Obviously I can't think of anyone in particular. He gave me a small clue...A PIRATE. So of course I know then. Since Mister Johnny Depp used to live in Miramar, FL!!! Since I am googly for him. he never ages!! Plus another clue he was in the Bahamas atm which I knew he had a house in the Bahamas [solar powered which seriously I thought of buying out there because it was 150k for a totally solar operational house.] Needless to saw I am a bit starstruck atm Johnny Depp [plus a couple years back I kid you not there was an amazing good look a like for Halloween....or was it really Johnny Depp?!!?!? I will never know.] Okay back to regular ungirly swoontime.

PS If it was really Johnny Depp at my door last Halloween we apologize about all the yelling aka swooning from the girls in the house.

Foodtown interesting experience....

Nothing like going into the kitchen looking over fresh ingredients and being inspired to cook. Fresh ingredients just make it better in my opinion! So when DH was in search for a new hobby [don't ask seriously they are a dime a dozen] I did a bit of research to find a spice he was looking for. Again don't ask...even I am fearful lol.
So we get to the store...I want to turn around because it smells absolutely horrid. We plug along being as nonjudgmental as possible. The first aisle was all chinese/japanese cooking ingredients! My eyes were now as big as half dollars, but I have never seen so many ethnic foods in less than a cubic foot! Needless to say I could have been there all day, but school bells ring and I must be there ;)

Will I be back there...you betcha! I was looking for tamarind paste everywhere for pad thai, and I finally found it! Wooohooo! So here is our small venture at Foodtown [they have so many ethnic foods I haven't touched a small amount Indian, Chinese, Japanese, different regions of Latin cultures, Island ethnic foods...really something to see.]RAMBLING! Off to the deals!

1 bunch Cilantro .33
1 Sweet Chili Sauce 2.99 [for 32oz!!!!] And it is amazing! We spend $4 a bottle for a small bottle at other stores!!!!
1 can/jar tamarind paste PRICELESS I mean 2.69
1 can coconut milk .99
1 jar Chili paste 4.99 [Now at Wholefood's the only place I can find chili paste it is almost $4 for a tiny jar so this is a steal! Taste will tell.]
1 package fresh Tumeric 1.49 [I don't know what I am going to do with this, but Tumeric is old world super spice!!! So good for you!]
1 pk thin rice noodles 1.99 [pad thai nomnomnom]
1 bag dried Anchos....[I got the wrong kind, but they will not go to waste!]2.49

Grand total of this awesome experience....$17.95
Savings.....at least 66% off grocer values.

Most are priceless because I just can't find them, and would have had to buy them online. Do you have shops like this in your town? What spice/food inspires you to cook?
