Coupon Clipping Services

Hey everyone Rue here, to talk a little bit about coupon clipping services. I don't use them very often since I like to do the clipping and research myself (it's relaxing to me.) but they are a great service for people who don't want to clip or don't have the time. The prices are pretty fair you can get enough for your family for about the cost of a newspaper assuming you don't have a huge family :) The site I use most frequently is http://www.thecouponclippers.com/coupons/home.php Their coupons range in price from about .8 cents to about .30 cents. Of course the prices can change, the more expensive coupons have a higher value or are for free items. There are many other coupon clipping sites you will just have to find one that suites your tastes and budget.

Cheap recipe # 2

Hey all. Betty Rose here with your second cheap recipe. This dish is super simple and is one of the comfort foods I go to a lot. My mom used to make this all the time and now I will share it with ya'll! This recipe is pretty much 3 ingredients not including your cooking oil or salt and pepper and prep time is pretty minimal also. Here's what you'll need.

1 pkg of polish sausage
7-9 red or yukon gold potatoes
1-2 yellow onions
2-3 Tbsp of veg or canola oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Slice onions in paper thin half moon shapes.
Preheat your oil in a large pan on medium low. Once the oil is hot place the onions in the pan and cook until tender and translucent. When the onions are done remove from the oil and set aside. Slice your sausage in to half inch rings and place in the oil to lightly brown. When your sausage is done set aside. Sausage will render some fat adding to the oil in the pan. If you need to cook the sausage in batches, that is fine. If you find you need to add a little more oil to the pan at any point that is fine as well.
Wash the potatoes off really well. There is no need to peel them for this dish. When your potatoes are clean, slice them in very thin rounds. Place the potatoes in the pan and season them with the salt and pepper. Once you have the potatoes covered in the fat, add the sausage and onions to the potatoes and mix. Place a lid on the pan and steam for 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Taste for seasoning, adjust and enjoy!

Hope you enjoy this recipe!

Hotel deals

Hey guys Betty Rose here again. I just wanted to post a quick tip about hotels.

1. Before you book your hotel, check around and do some research. A lot of hotels offer rewards for those who stay with them and not with others.

2. Also check to see if there is a multiple night discount. Some hotels will give you a free night if you stay so many nights.

3. Some hotels offer a membership of sorts as well. Some of them use a point system as well, meaning the more you stay with them the more points you rack up. Once you've gotten enough points you can use them for a free stay or you can get an extreme discount.

Remember if you take the time to do your research you can find some great deals.

Honoring our Heros

This is a cause very close to my heart. Kroger and the USO are teaming up to help support the military men and women that work for them. The first 50,000 to sign up and "shake hands" with a military person get special coupons. Free coupons and making our military personnel feel loved? What could be better? Also while you are getting the extra coupons don't forget to add the coupons Kroger already has up on their site.

Cheap Recipe #1.

Hey guys Betty Rose here again. I wanted to share a recipe for chicken salad with y'all that I've come up with. The good thing about this particular recipe is most everyone has most of the ingredients in their home already! This chicken salad is not only different and yummy but a great way for parents to get some extra fruit into their kids.

Here's what you'll need.

1 cup of mayonnaise
1/2-1 cup of apples, cored and cubed (I use gala apples)
1/2-1 cup purple or red grapes (sliced lengthwise)
1 cup of craisins
2-3 cups of chicken cubed
Salt and pepper

Preheat your oven to 375
Place your chicken in a baking dish and season both sides with the salt and pepper. Cook for 30 minutes or until done.
While the chicken is cooking mix mayo, cubed apples, sliced grapes, and craisins together. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Once your chicken comes out of the oven let it cool some until you're able to handle it.
Slice your chicken into bite size cubes and combine with the mayo mixture. Give it a taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Once the chicken salad tastes perfect to you cover and chill it in the fridge for at least a couple hours. After that enjoy!

There are many ways you can serve this chicken salad. Here are some suggestions.

1. Put it on crackers. You can use saltines, ritz, or whatever your favorite cracker may be!
2. Make it into a sandwich. This recipe taste especially good on potato bread.
3. Put in a regular lettuce based salad. Jazz up the normal everyday salad with a couple spoonfuls of this chicken salad.

You can use your imagination on how to serve this tasty dish. Also feel free to use a grocery store rotisserie chicken if that's what you have. This is about using what you've got in your fridge and pantry to help save you time and money!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Traveling on the cheap!

Hey everyone this is Rue! Finding travel deals is getting increasingly harder due to the rise in gas prices. If your travel planning consists of sitting in front of a computer screen for hours pouring over every travel website out there. It doesn't need to be that hard. Of course it still takes a little bit of planning but these tips can make it much less of a hassle.

1. Make an email account just for your travel emails. This prevents you getting an overload of emails that you most likely won't want to read and will just put in your spam box. Every once in a while check the email address and see what offers are open.

2. Sign up for the travel companies you use most, of course using your “travel” email address. Most companies will send coupons and special deals to their members.

3. Book at least 14 days out.  The best deals are usually found 3 months or more outside your travel dates.

4. Be flexible about your dates and airports. If you can give yourself a little room. Say a few days ahead of the time you want to travel or a few days after. Even different times can net you huge savings. Also if there is another large airport close to you check the prices there it may be worth the drive.

5. Use coupons. The specific state you are visiting usually has a website that has coupons for hotels, theme parks, or restaurants. Also if you are driving stop at the local rest stop. There are always coupon books for hotels or attractions.

Family night ideas

Hey everyone this is Betty Rose here making my blogging debut. I'm going to give you a few ideas for a fun and inexpensive family fun night.

1. If you're going out to eat, try a place like CiCi's pizza. Their buffet is cheap and generally if you have kids under 11 they eat free. If you don't have a CiCi's pizza go with the buffet theme. For a set price you can get all you can eat and generally kids will eat at a discounted price.

2. Movies. Go earlier in the day when your local theater has it's matinée showing. Prices are usually 3 dollars cheaper or more depending on your location.

3. Stay at home. Make a dinner for the family at home. Rent a few movies or break out some of the board games. It'll be a great time with the family.

No matter which of these suggestions you choose, you're going to have a great time with the family and save a few bucks in the process!
