Boost Your Budget ~ Weekly Update 1/9/12

Boost Your Budget Pantry Challenge

Well, week one is done and week two has just begun. I’m happy to say my first week started off very well! I took some time this weekend to completely organize my pantry. I went through all the food that was in there and put meals together. I was surprised at how little I need to purchase to make complete meals. I created a menu for the next two weeks off what was in my pantry! This is why I love stockpiling!! Also, this is why it’s a good idea to do a pantry challenge like this. I’m able to use some of my stockpile to make room for more (fresher) products. Plus, I’m able to keep my grocery budget minimal this month.

Here is my menu plan that I created for the next two weeks:

baked chicken with risotto
ham with mac and cheese
chili
spaghetti with garlic biscuits
tacos with cornbread and Mexican rice
baked chicken with pasta side and salad
vegetable soup
chicken with potato casserole
pork roast with rice and black eye peas

leftovers re-purposed:
chili over baked potatoes
spaghetti sandwiches
taco salad
vegetable soup over rice

All of the above can be made with the addition of just a few items. I plan to visit the grocery store later today and will write another post listing all I buy.

I also have signed up for the E-MEALZ Easy Meals for Busy and Frugal Families program which I strongly encourage you to look into.  It’s a great program that creates a menu based on your grocery store selection’s sales for the week.  You can print out your menu with recipes for the week and print your corresponding shopping list for the week.  This not only saves you time but money as well.  While I am pulling a few recipe’s from my list(s) I will begin to fully utilize this program next month.

Be sure to check back next week for another update.  Also be on the lookout for my grocery store shopping post coming later today.  I’ll also have some recipes posted this week, so watch for those too.

Visit all the listed blogs below to see how they’re doing on their challenge.  Leave your link below to your post or leave me a comment telling me your pantry goals for this month.  You’ll be entered in the weekly contest to win the $25 Coupon Clutch Gift Certificate!!

Frosted Toast Crunch ~ Review and Giveaway

Okay, time for a little admission… I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.  I can eat it with milk in the bowl or straight from the box dry.  It’s that tasty to me!  So when I was approached about trying the new Frosted Toast Crunch cereal I jumped on the opportunity!

The box came in and my kids and I tore into the package, knowing a good treat awaited.  And what a good treat it was!  The poor box didn’t stand a chance, it was gone, okay devoured, in less than a day.  We opened the package of cereal, tried to maintain a level of dignity by slowly pouring some into each persons hand, then bam!  We tasted it and that was it, gone!

Seriously, this is some good cereal!  If you love Cinnamon Toast Crunch I can pretty much guarantee you’re gonna love this new Frosted Toast Crunch cereal.  It’s crunchy, has a great vanilla flavor to it, and even has a light dusting of cinnamon.  Yummy!

Can’t wait till it comes out in the store to get a box?  I understand…  Enter below on the rafflecopter form for your chance to win a completely free box along with some other great goodies.  One of my very lucky readers will receive:

    • Spilt milk bowl
    • Lickety spoon
    • Frosted pitcher
    • Frosted Toast Crunch cereal

Look for the new Frosted Toast Crunch cereal to appear in your local grocery store early this month.  Run, don’t walk, and get your box, you’re gonna love it!  :)

Giveaway closes Jan. 13. Open to US residents only ages 18 and up.

Perplexus Original Review and Giveaway

Every year for Christmas I get each of my kids a game and/or puzzle. We enjoy playing games together as a family and often have “family game night”. This is always a fun event in our home.

My son, who is very technical, loves puzzles. He enjoys the books that have puzzles in them and enjoys putting jigsaw puzzles together. For Christmas this year he is getting the Perplexus Original. I can’t wait to see him try it out as I know he is gonna love it!

When it came in the mail my husband and I just had to try it out. I wasn’t to sure I was gonna get to give it to my son as my husband enjoyed it so much! It’s really a cool item. It’s a 3d puzzle made inside a round ball that contains a small marble. You manipulate the ball to make the marble move around inside the maze. It’s great for developing hand-eye coordination in children! Once you get started playing with this puzzle you won’t want to put it down.

Perplexus Original has been nominated as Educational Toy of Year by the Toy Industry Association. If you think you’ll love this item as much as we do, I encourage you to take a moment and vote for them. When you vote your also entered to win one of 10 toy prize packs!

The voting takes a few steps:

1. Go to Toy Awards

2. Select Perplexus

3. Click Submit My Vote at the bottom

4. Register your information to complete your vote. (Super simple registry- name, email, zip code)

Voting ends January 10, 2012.
