Netflix: 1 Month Free Trial
Right now Netflix is offering a 1 Month Free Trial!
(Normally only a 2 week trial) You can stream videos through your PC or your TV using Wii, XBOX or PS3. For only $2 get unlimited videos by mail too.
My family has been Netflix members for a couple of years and we love it. I avoid paying extra when we forget to take a movie back. We have the basic package and usually only end up with 3-4 movies, sent to our home, a month, but we use the instant play option a lot more. Plus with a free trial you really can’t go wrong!
Netflix is a great way to watch TV series and they now have many popular series available to stream right through your PC or TV. For television viewing you do need a Wii, XBox, or a DVD player that has the ability to stream from the internet.
Thanks, Fabulessly Frugal.

Money Tree
I was disappointed that there were no Smart Source coupons in Sundays paper, but then I found and decided to check out the Herald Journal Money Tree. On the back page of section C they offer a limited number of gift cards you can get for a discount, first come serve basis. The majority of the cards are for $25 and you pay only $17, that is a 32% discount. They did have one gift card for Anderson Seed, you pay $34 for a $50 gift card. With the spring planting around the corner I knew this would be a good one and would go quickly, but I gave it a shot.
73 min! later, of constant dialing, I heard ringing and a hello! It felt like I had just won the game!!! Of course the Anderson Seed card was the first one to go at 9am. That's okay, I got a $25 gift card for $17 that makes me happy.
The Money Tree savings is offered routinely, not sure when the next one is though, so if you call and don't get the ONE you want then there is always next time. There are a couple of rules; you can only purchase one gift card per phone call and only four gift cards per household. You pay for it over the phone and then you may pick it up on Wednesday afternoon at the Herald Journal.
These gift cards make great gifts or just a way to save on going out to eat with your friends and/or family. Make sure you have some time, but the savings is worth it. They still have more available today. If you don't receive the Sunday paper then call 752-8015 and ask what is still available.

Lime Scented Strawberry Mango Salad
Mangoes . . . yummmm! I was talking to a friend this morning who reminded me of this recipe. Along with my ADD, or a side effect of it is, I forget things easily. I went to my good friend, Google, to look up this recipe and I was pleasantly surprised that the fourth entry for this recipe was found here on my blog from last April. I am reposting the recipe because it is a great side dish or dessert.
Lime Scented Strawberry Mango Salad
3/4 Cup Sugar
2 tsp grated lime zest
1/4 Cup fresh lime juice
3 cups trimmed, sliced strawberries (about 2 lbs.)
3 cups peeled, diced mangoes (2 to 3 large mangoes)
1/3 cup water
Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmner until sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Stir in lime zest and juice; let cool to room temperature.
Mix strawberries with mangoes in a large bowl. Add syrup and gently stir util well mixed. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
Serves: 8

Keeping Produce Fresh Longer
I am off to go pick up my produce basket that I ordered through Bountiful Baskets and saw this posting by Utah Deal Diva, how appropriate. I wanted to share her good information. With costs rising any helpful tips are welcomed at my house.Here is what she posted:
Being as the price of produce may drastically increase in the next week, I thought it'd be helpful to share a few tips as to how to keep produce fresh longer. By taking a couple extra steps when you bring your produce home, you can extend the life of your fresh goods by as much as a week or two! Below I've listed several common fruits and vegetables and ways to prolong their shelf life. If you have tips to share, please leave a comment and I'll add them to the list!
Apples & oranges: will stay fresh in fridge for 3-4 weeks. Don't store other produce in the same place as apples in the fridge as they give off a gas that causes other produce to ripen quickly. {Oranges don't seem to be affected, so I store them together.}
Asparagus & celery: Wash & cut off ends. Store in a container with stalks standing upright with a little water on the bottom.
Bananas: Buy small bunches in varying stages of ripeness. Break up bunches and store on the counter in a container that allows for good air circulation. I have a wrought iron basket that works really well.
Berries: Store in fridge. Berries just don't last very long, period, unless you opt to freeze them. However if you wash them, they spoil faster, so opt to wash just those that you'll eat immediately. Also be sure to pick out any moldy berries immediately as they will cause others to spoil faster.
Broccoli & cauliflower: Will stay fresh in the fridge for about 10 days. If you opt to freeze, you'll need to blanch them first which is a very easy process detailed here.
Green onions: Slice them and store them in a container with a folded up paper towel. They'll stay fresh for about 10-12 days this way.
Lettuce & spinach: Wash & dry leaves. Store leaves in a loose but closed bag or container with a folded up paper towels. The towel absorbs the moisture and leaves stay fresh longer.
Mushrooms: Store in the fridge in a paper bag. Will stay fresh for about a week this way. {Keeping them in the container you bought them in makes them slimy within 2-3 days.}
Onions: Will stay fresh in a cool, dark place for 3-4 weeks. You can also dice them and freeze them for use beyond that time frame.
Pears: Store in fridge until ready to eat. Once they're out on the counter, they'll ripen within 2-3 days.
Potatoes: Open bag they came in and store in a cool, dark, dry place. I store mine in a cupboard in my garage- they keep for 5-6 weeks!

Border's Update
Today I was in town and there it was . . . . the big yellow 'STORE CLOSING' sign. I went in to check it out. Most everything was 20% off, romance novels are 30% off. There was a crowd of people browsing and the check out line was long!
Here is my thought. If there is a book you have really been wanting then run in and get it for 20% off before it is gone. I am personally going to wait for the deeper discount and then go searching for a great book at a great deal. It will be like my own safari hunt, and I will enjoy whatever it is that I 'bag'!

Borders in Logan is Closing
When I heard that Borders was filing for bankruptcy I told my daughter that they would close our store and sure enough I read that very fact in the Herald Journal. They reported that clearance sales could start as early as this week. I don't have any more information than that, so if you learn anything please share with the rest of us in the comments section. I am sad, I love going into the store with friends to look at all the pretty books and picking out a new one to come home with me.
I am tired of companies closing their stores in Cache Valley!
I am feeling a girls trip to Borders coming on, wanna join me?

What I Learned at My Ridley's
I ran to get a few items from the PYP list that I previously blogged about. My Ridley's did not have all of the same sale items that the Orem store had.
Items I found not on sale:
* 3pk Jolly Time popcorn
* Ivory 3pk soap
* Yoplait Greek yogurt
There could be more, but those are items I was looking for.
Item's I bought:
* Yoplait yogurt, remember the first ten are the sale price.
* Tony's version of hot pocket, these were a screaming deal at $.60 each with your .50/2 SS-2/13 coupon.
* The $5/10 deals are great, I took advantage of this deal too.
I love that Ridley's tells you your total savings broken down into categories. Your frequent shopper savings, coupon savings, and enhanced promotions savings. Enhanced savings is like the $5/10 General Mills savings.
I spent $30.12 and my total savings was $43.43. I love when I save more than I spend!
***FYI, You can pre-order 40lb of chicken for $59 to be picked up starting 3/1. This is going to be a one week sale. The chicken becomes $1.48lb.
If you have a pressure cooker you can bottle the chicken to save on freezer space. You can read a previous post about bottling chicken HERE. My girlfriend just bottled her chicken breasts whole, not cut up like I have, and it turned out great and saved time!
Last month I made freezer meals and found a fabulous teriyaki chicken recipe. I will be doubling the sauce next time and I froze a combination of veggies to pull out at the same time to heat up with my chicken. Recipe is here.
Leave a comment if you have any good chicken freezer meals for us to try. Thanks!

Ridley's Deals - 2/15 - 2/21
Pinching Your Pennies actually has a listing of Ridley's deals. Unfortunately, they are geared for their Orem store and they had a double coupon day. They still have, as far as I can tell, the same sale prices as my local Ridley's and coupons are listed. Just remember that they are showing the final price as if you had been able to double the value of the coupon. For instance the Yoplait yogurt is shown as $.17 each and they will actually be $.24 each. That makes the yogurt half off the regular price, when you purchase 10.
Bountiful Baskets
I almost forgot to order my Bountiful Basket! They have tortillas to order this week, they are so yummy. You do have to finish cooking these one, which makes them even better. I also ordered the mango pack, we love them. The do have a strawberry pack, a citrus pack, nine grain bread, and granola to order as extras.
Remember, you only have till 9pm tonight, Tuesday, to order for this Saturdays pick up.
Get a FREE* HASBRO Card Game
Coupons.com has a printable coupon for a free card game with the purchase of a Hasbro game for $9.99 or more. I have heard from several people that the Monopoly card game is a lot of fun. I like inexpensive, fun family activities and purchasing two games for $10 equals many nights of family fun.
I also saw several DVD coupons, also at Coupons.com, like:
Grown Ups
The Karate Kid
Ever After
27 Dresses (I believe this is a $5 movie at Walmart)
Australia
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
And a few others
Another DVD coupon was Eat, Pray, Love. You can use the $4 off coupon, purchase 2 jars of CLASSICO products and then receive a $4 rebate by mail. Print your REBATE HERE.
New Kraft Coupons!
If these are products that you use then they will be worth using your printer ink for. I would hurry and print these Kraft and Nabisco coupons from coupons.com before they are gone! These are rare and will not last long!
$.75/1 Miracle Whip
$1.00/1 Kraft Mac & Cheese 5-pack
$1.00/1 Velveeta Product
$1.00/2 Ritz Spring Crackers
$1.00/2 Oreo Spring Cookies

Lisa Clawson has this yummy blog with tons of recipes. I am a foodie! I also love finding new recipes. My ADD gets bored with repetitive menus, okay it's my taste buds that motivate me, but I do love cooking up something new. Lisa and I have worked in PTA together and been on trek together, so while we don't 'hang out' together I do think of her as my friend.
I know I have more amazing friends and I will get you their information so that you can check them out too. Leave me a comment if you have a blog that you want to share with the rest of us.

Disney Movie Rewards
A couple of weeks ago I went through all of my DVDs to make sure that the correct movie was in the correct case. I'm sure you all of your movies are correctly put away, the little gremlin that causes DVD chaos only visits my house. Anyway, I was surprised to find Disney Reward codes still in some of my cases. I found 600 points to be added to my account!
A few months ago I turned in 500 points to receive a years subscription to the Disney Family Fun Magazine. It is a double winner at my house since my nine year old likes crafting as well as I do. In the past I have received movies and CDs with my points.
Never heard of the Disney Rewards Program? This is a great rewards program... especially if you have kiddos that love Disney movies. Basically every time you purchase a Disney DVD or go see a Disney movie at the movie theater you earn points. You find a code inside your DVD case that you will enter online and watch your points tally up. Once you've earned enough points, you can then redeem them for a reward! They have lots of different rewards available from electronics to toys, DVDs and more!
Signing up for your account is easy and free.

Printable Cheerios Coupon
I know that I used to print a lot of coupons, but I am not a huge fan of them anymore. I would print out many coupons that would never get used, waste of precious ink! I do print one out every now and then if it is something I need and already use regularly. I don't print to try something new. A lot of the printable coupons have already been sent to me in my Sunday coupon packs as well.
Okay, all of that said, this is a good coupon in my book. Cereal is outrageous in price these days and if you catch a sale and couple it with your coupon it becomes affordable. Besides, YUM! I love cinnamon, period. **After you print your coupon click the back button for a second one :-)
Thanks, Utah Deal Diva for the info!

Avocado Salsa
I LOVE this salsa! My husband and I have been known to eat it for lunch, a bag of chips, a cool drink and we are happy. This would make an excellent Super Bowl treat this weekend. With the tomatoes, avocados, and chips on sale this week you may as well give it a try.
4 med/lrg avocados, diced
4-8 roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 purple onion, diced
cilantro, chop as much as you like
chopped olives
can of sweet niblet corn
2 limes
garlic powder
season salt
red pepper flakes
Mix the first six ingredients together. Green Giant makes the corn that I use, it is a small can and I believe it is white corn. I don't always use the corn though. Squeeze the lime juice into the bowl. Add the garlic powder and season salt a bit at a time, stir together, give it a taste test, continue this process until it is perfect for your happy taste buds. The pepper flakes don't always make into the salsa either, just depends on who is enjoying it.
Truly, the amounts are subject to your personal taste buds. I will say that the purple onion gives it such a great bite and flavor. I made a batch of this last weekend, when my 21 yr old saw me cutting the onion he said 'yuck', when he took his first bite he said 'yummm'. I told him it was that purple onion that was making his taste buds happy.
It is not only a great chip and dip, but it is fabulous on your tacos, burritos, sandwiches, wherever you would like it! Enjoy!
Ridley's Deals - 2/11/2011
My Ridley's ad just arrived in my mail. There are several items that I intend to go grab as soon as I am done with this posting. I have a previous posting on how Pinching Your Pennies works, you can read it here, remember the deals talked about are from May 2009.
I use PYP when I'm creating my shopping list because it takes so much time out of finding the deals. Today I'm applying their info to my Ridley's ad to help me shop local and still get the great prices. Here is what I won't be missing out on this week:
Bar S franks $0.99, RP 1/30, $1/2 = $0.49 each, wyb2
Johnsonville Brats 3/$10, SS 1/23 $1/2 = $2.84 each, wyb2

WF/Ridley's 32oz. shredded cheese $4.99, $1 off here
WF sour cream, 10oz, $.77
WF creamery select ice cream 48 oz $2.28
Avocado, medium, 2/$0.88
Roma tomatoes $.068 lb

There are many more great Ridley's deals, these are the ones I will be grabbing. I HATE when someone at my house is sick and I have to run to the store and pay full price for a remedy. I try to stock up ahead to get the best deal and have it ready when it is needed.
In case you are new to coupon abbreviations here is some help:
SS = Smart Source
RP = Red Plum

I use PYP when I'm creating my shopping list because it takes so much time out of finding the deals. Today I'm applying their info to my Ridley's ad to help me shop local and still get the great prices. Here is what I won't be missing out on this week:
Bar S franks $0.99, RP 1/30, $1/2 = $0.49 each, wyb2
Johnsonville Brats 3/$10, SS 1/23 $1/2 = $2.84 each, wyb2
Ridley's 2lb loaf of medium cheddar cheese $5.29, $1 off here
WF/Ridley's 32oz. shredded cheese $4.99, $1 off here
WF sour cream, 10oz, $.77
WF creamery select ice cream 48 oz $2.28
Avocado, medium, 2/$0.88
Roma tomatoes $.068 lb
Yellow, Orange, Red bell peppers $0.99 each
Red Baron Pizza, 12" or single serve, 2/$5, SS 1/23 $.75 on single serve = 2/$3.50 single serve pizza
McCormick Grinders, .77-2.12 oz, $1.49, RP-1/2 .75/1, $0.74
Don Julio Chips $.88 each
Colgate Toothpaste, 6.4 oz, $1.00, SS-1/30 .75/1 = $.25
NyQuil or DayQuil, 6 oz. Liquid, 10 ct. Caplets or 12 ct. Liquicaps, $4.47, PG-1/16 and PG-1/30 $1.50/1 = $2.97
There are many more great Ridley's deals, these are the ones I will be grabbing. I HATE when someone at my house is sick and I have to run to the store and pay full price for a remedy. I try to stock up ahead to get the best deal and have it ready when it is needed.
In case you are new to coupon abbreviations here is some help:
