Saving Money with Glade Coupons

I have stumbled across some GREAT Glade coupons! Go here to get a $2 coupon off their new Fragrance Collection candles and go here to get a $4 coupon! I am a BzzAgent and I am currently Bzzing about theses candles and let me tell you they smell great! They are soy based candles and have the look and smell of the designer candles you get at places like Yankee Candle and Bath and Body Works. Be sure to get these coupons and try these candles out! I highly recommend them!

The best deal I am currently finding for these coupons is at Walgreens, but not until April. The candles are $5.99 and in April there will be an EasySaver Coupon for $2. When you combine the $2 off Wags coupon with the $4 off Glade coupon that equals FREE CANDLES!!!

Saving Time and Money Cooking

It's been a while since I gave you a recipe, so you are definitely due a few. I have a couple of new, incredibly easy recipes to share with you this week. The first recipe I'll share tells you how I made 1 pork roast last for 3 dinners and 1 lunch! I believe I paid around $8 for the roast. That is a great deal!

I purchased several large pork roasts while they were on sale for around $1.59/lb. I put them in my freezer and pull 1 out every once and a while. Here's what I did with the 1 I pulled out last week.

Meal #1- Pork Roast in the Crock Pot

(I cut 4 3/4" thick pieces of the end before I did this, I'll explain why in the next meal.)

Pork Roast

2 Cans French Onion Soup (or 1 family sized can)

Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder to taste.

Cook for 6-8 hours.

I served this with mashed potatoes and broccoli.

Meal #2 Fried Pork Chops

4 Pieces cut from the pork roast

coat in flour

fry on both sides for about 6 or 7 minutes each until white in the middle

(optional- add a can of cream of mushroom soup when chops are cooked fully and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes)

I served this with left over mashed potatoes and corn.

Meal #3 Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Used 1/2 of the leftover pork roast- shredded the meat and put it in a pot with 1/2 a bottle of BBQ sauce

Served on buns with Mac & Cheese and peaches for lunch.

Meal #4 Pork Tacos



Used the rest of the pork roast- shredded the meat and put in in a pot with taco seasoning and followed directions on the seasoning.



Served with taco shells, toppings and corn.

I cannot believe that we got 4 meals out of 1 big piece of meat! Next time these go on sale be sure to pick up a big one and let me know what you do with it!

Saving Money at Walgreens

I ran across some more Wags deals thanks to Crystal at Money Saving Mom and you know I wanted to share them with you!

• Dove Soap single bars are $.99 using the in ad coupon- buy 8 and get $10 back in Register Rewards. That makes it a MONEYMAKER! My Wags was seriously stocked up on these last night, but you might want to hurry to your to get this deal as I have a strange feeling they are going to go fast!
• Starbucks Chocolate- (Some people are reporting theirs in on sale for $4, but mine was 2/$10.) Buy 2 and use the coupon in the Easy Saver Rebate booklet for $6/2. There are blinkies and tearpads found at various locations (including right on the shelf at my Wags!) for $1 off any Starbucks Chocolate. With the 3 (1 Wags coupon and 2 Starbucks) coupons together you can either get FREE chocolate or chocolate for $1 a bag! Not a bad price in my book! (I just HAD to buy the chocolate covered coffee beans for my Grandma!)

Saving Money with Crazy-Good Deals

Seriously, I completely need to check to make sure my brain is still in tact! I completely missed 2 deals yesterday that are MONEYMAKERS! What on earth was I doing?!?! Oh, yeah, being a wife and mother and choir/orchestra director! Sundays are busy at our house!

CVS

• Renuzit TriScents Air Fresheners are $5.49, get $2 back in ECBs- use the $4 coupon from yesterday's paper to make this a MONEYMAKER after coupon and ECBs! (limit 5)

Target

Edited because I've apparently really lost my mind! I am applying coupons to things they don't apply to! My appoligies! Mad props to Mich for catching my HUGE mistake!

Get a $5 Gift Card from Target when you buy 2 Gillette Razors. Mix and Match as you wish :

• Venus Razor is $7.99- use $2 coupon from the 2/8 P&G insert and $3 Target printable here to make it $2.99
• Fusion Razor is $7.99- use $4 coupon from the 2/8 P&G insert to make it $3.99

Either way (2 Venus, 2 Fusion or 1 of each) after coupons and gift card you will be paying from $.49 or $1.49 each! Not bad for a great razor (but it's still not as good as the deal I made up in my head using my imaginary coupons).
