HURRY! FREE Swagbucks Code! - Code Expired!

Hurry on over to the Swagbucks Blog where you find a code woth 7 Swagbucks!  This code is valid until 4pm PDT.

Yucky Stuff Is Lucky Stuff

We have this ancient apple tree in our front yard.  The apples are gnarly and I usually do not bake with them.  Instead the boys gather what they call the 'yucky apples' and cart them off to the woods by the ton in our trusty wheelbarrow. These are to feed the woodland critters.  I think they have dreams of seeing a big buck emerging from deep woods for them to watch.


This year we were able to turn these yucky apples into sweet cider!  How lucky are we?!

David's friend Jesse invited us over to use his family's ciderpress.  This is THE COOLEST contraption ever!  The boys were enthralled with the simple nechanics of it.  We began by placing small apples and cut up larger apples into the wooden hopper.
Seth used his muscles turning the crank, grinding the apples into small chunks that fall into a oak barrel that is lined with a mesh bag.  You can already see some cider dripping into the pan.

Next the mesh bag is folded over the apple chunks and an oak board is placed on top.  Now we start pressing by turning the crank on the top of the press.  Sawyer wanted to take over doing this part.  Just look at those muscles!


When the going got tough Dad stepped in with a pipe.  Now it was easier to turn with greater pressure.  The pressure started the cider POURING out into the pan.  We poured it through another finer mesh bag into large thermos's we brought with us.

We spent 2 hours pressing 8 gallons of fresh cider.  Cider sells for around $4.00 a gallon so I figured we just saved or earned around $32.00!  Yucky apples harvested off the ground?  How lucky are we to enjoy sweet fresh cider for FREE?!  Lucky indeed!

Possibly FREE Thai Kitchen Organic Coconut Milk @ Whole Foods!

Whole Foods has Thai Kitchen Organic Coconut Milk on sale this week for $1.33.  These are regularly priced @ $2.19.  Here's how you can pick yours up for FREE or at the very least inexpensive:
Now if you are like me and received a $1.00/2 Thai Kitchen Product coupon we won't be able to pick them up for free but still very inexpensively:
  • Purchase 2 Thai Kitchen Organic Coconut Milk $1.33 = $2.66
  • Use $1.00/2 in the 8/29 RP = $1.66
  • AND $ .75/1 The Whole Deal - October/November or @ Whole Deal Coupons = $  .91 for 2! Or $ .45 each!  That's still a great savings over their $2.19 regular shelf price.
Our Whole Foods store in Portland does allow us to 'stack' coupons.  However some Whole Foods do not.  Always call ahead to be sure your store does before making a special trip.

Kraft Shredded Cheese Possibly $ .50 Each @ Shaw's

I need to seriously stock up on shredded cheese so I'm really excited about the new Catalina running @ Shaw's starting Friday, 10/8/10.
  • BUY 5 PARTICIPATING PRODUCTS GET $5 ON YOUR NEXT PURCHASE & GIVE 5 MEALS TO FEEDING AMERICA
  • LIMIT ONE COUPON PER TRANSACTION. ADDITIONAL COUPON OFFER WILL NOT PRINT WHEN THE COUPON IS REDEEMED IN THE SAME TRANSACTION. (Meaning this offer will not 'roll').
  • For a full list of participating products see  Shaw's Current Catalinas
For this post let's focus on stocking up on the Kraft Shredded Cheese.  Shaw's has these priced @ $2.50 each.  Here's the deal scenario:
I have had numerous readers tell me they were able to use the $5.00 coupon with out and problem.  I have had a couple of readers tell me their Shaw's wouldn't except them.  Their coupon policy states:  *Shaw's accepts internet coupons with some restrictions. We will not accept internet coupons that offer a free product, that have a value greater than $4.99, and/or that do not have a scanning UPC bar code.  It seems some stores are real sticklers about the $4.99 limit and others are not worried about the penny difference.  So your mileage may vary with scenario.
