Rite Aid Trip Today

This was not my best ever trip to Rite Aid. I was very excited to pick up a few bags of the Ocean Spray Craisins for $1.00 each and then realized when I got to the register that my coupons expired yesterday. Such a bummer! Also You know how much I hate to pay full price for anything and I had to pay full price for the Canker Melts. Son #3 is battling braces and the biggest canker sore in creation. Yuck! (Nope, salt & water were not doing anything to help. It just kept getting worse)
So here is what I was able to pick up:

• 3 Act popcorn balls @ .33 a piece, $.99
• 2 Mom's Best Quick Oats @ 1.25 each, $2.50
• 1 Poli-Grip Powder $2.99
• 1 Scalpicin Anti-itch Wipes $4.49
• 1 Cankermelts $7.99 (ouch!)

Total before coupons $18.96. Coupons I used:

• $1.00/2 Act popcorn balls
• 2, .75/1 Mom's Best Oatmeal
• $1.00/1 Scalpicin
• $5.00/$20.00 Rite Aid, I know I didn't have $20 but the cashier already took the coupon off before I had to remove the Craisins because my coupons had expired. The lesson learned here is to ALWAYS hand the cashier the Rite Aid $5.00/$20.00 coupons FIRST!

Total after coupons + tax $11.04. I'll apply for the Poli-Grip and Scalpicin Single Check Rebates through Rite-Aid for $7.48. Total after coupons and rebates, $3.56.

Making Memories #10, The Smoke Fairy

Every Monday I share activities to do with our children that are kind to our budget and foster good times, great memories and family togetherness.I love it when spontaneous events develop over time into lasting memories.

The "Smoke Fairy"started visiting us when the boys were very young and were resisting bedtime. We had started turning down the lights and turning off the television and computers at 6:00. It was our quiet time. Kind of. It still wasn't as peaceful a transition as we had envisioned.

Winter was setting in and we had a power outage which is not unusual here in coastal Maine. As we started losing day light we began to light a few candles. The boys were fascinated by them. Somewhat in awe of the candle light. At bed time I let each boy snuff out a candle and we observed the smoke blowing and twisting. The next day we were still out of power. The boys were exited at the prospect of spending another candlelit evening camping out in our bedroom. When bedtime came, with kind of a hushed reverence, I asked the boys if they wanted to see the "Smoke Fairy" again. Of course they did.

When the power was restored I knew I was going to miss the Smoke Fairy. I placed the candle stick and snuffer up on the mantle and after dinner I began turning down the lights and turning off the electronics as we did before but added lighting the candle on the mantle to the routine. I explained that when the candle was lit it was quiet time and when the clock chimed eight times it was bedtime. At that time I would take down the candle and one of the boys had a turn snuffing out the flame and we all watched the Smoke Fairy visit us briefly.

The boys stopped fighting bedtime. It was and is a peaceful transition and to this day they know whose turn it is to blow out the candle. They never pass up there turn.

It's such a simple idea really. See if the Smoke Fairy can work her magic at your house too.
Blessings,

Shaw's Coupons To Keep Your Eye Out For

I found these Sunday at the end of the cracker isle at Shaw's. They are specific to Kraft and Shaw's. The tall brochure on the left (showing front & back) has 5 salad recipes and on the back it has a coupon that says "Save $1 on Shaw's Dinner Rolls when you buy $5 in participating KRAFT Products". The smaller brochure (showing front & inside) has 4 sandwich recipes and a coupon that says "FREE Shaw's soup (up to $2) when you buy $5.00 in participating KRAFT products".

Now I think you could buy just the 5 products and be able to use both coupons in one transaction. What do you think?

Around The "Honeymoon" Table, Crapple!

Two years ago this Columbus Day weekend my son and his then fiance, Ariel, were wed on the island of Vinalhaven off the coast of Maine. It was a glorious day. The sun was shining, it was warm and Autumn was all around us.

Ariel has added so much to our family, and to my recipe collection, ever since she became a Hewson. This week's recipe was on the menu at their reception and was created by her father. She tells me that whenever her family got together for Thanksgiving everyone contributed a family recipe to make and share. He didn't have one so he made one! It is legend now. (Now there's a man with initiative!) He seems to guard the recipe pretty tight so here is my version of his notorious "Crapple".

Crapple

Ingredients:

1 (12 oz.) pkg. cranberries, rinsed and stemmed
1 1/2 cups water

1 cup sugar

6 pared, seeded, and sliced Delicious apples.

In a saucepan put 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil and add cranberries. Cook until berries are tender.
In a separate saucepan place the apples and 1/2 cup water. Cook until apples are done. Mash with a potato masher and stir into cranberry sauce. Refrigerate.

It couldn't be more simpler but oh so good! I like the story behind it as well. Sometimes I add cinnamon at this is fragrant and delicious too.

Blessings,

Teresa
