I know you will appreciate the high-quality animation Reynolds provides on its website. In all seriousness, they ROCK. Last Monday I brought some snacks to work to celebrate my birthday, including a crock pot full of lil' smokies wrapped in bacon and baked in brown sugar (SOOO GOOOD), which of course spells major sticky mess...but thanks to the crock pot liner, all I did at the end of the day was pull it out of the crock pot and toss it. Doesn't make cleanup easier...it ELIMINATES cleanup. The stores want to charge like $1 or more per liner but look for coupons, or check this out at Ace Hardware Outlet (surprisingly enough) for about 63 cents apiece. TOTALLY worth it, compared to the time/water/soap you spend cleaning it yourself.<br /><br />http://www.acehardwareoutlet.com/(spnuatzw1b4uvg45x3ljjmq2)/productdetails.aspx?sku=6135883&source=GoogleBaseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832748644398583871.post-71657246528579161582010-03-20T12:35:00.988-04:002010-03-20T12:35:00.988-04:00omggggggg Julia I smell a guest blog!!!

It's an exciting day for couponing Texans.<br /><br />You're right that there are not a lot of coupons for produce. Some stores (like Food Lion and other stores neither of us have) seem to put out stuff like periodic $2/$5 produce coupons, but that doesn't do us a lot of good. So here's what I do.<br /><br />1) Look for the coupons that ARE out there. I've found Qs for tangerines, tomatoes, blueberries, etc in my Sunday inserts. Individual distributors' websites sometimes have them too.<br /><br />2) Look for combo deals that include produce. HEB has all those great 'buy this, get that' promotions and a lot include produce.<br /><br />3) Like you said, buy what's on sale. Jenny at Southern Savers suggests making a 'lowest price list' of all the items you buy frequently and what is the lowest price you've seen all of them at (as well as the regular price). Then you can be like 'Ooh! Bananas are finally under .40/lb, time to buy a bushel' even if they aren't on advertised special that day.<br /><br />4) Farmers markets. Better, local produce and you're supporting your local farmer. I wish I got over to them more often.<br /><br />Also have you tried Fiesta? I never shopped there when I lived in ATX but I've wondered since if it was cheaper on things like produce and meat, since HEB and Randall's are so ungodly expensivequidquid katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136522704029173135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832748644398583871.post-43607913242787750372010-03-17T21:00:36.865-04:002010-03-17T21:00:36.865-04:00Alright, lady, I've been stalking your blog vi...Alright, lady, I've been stalking your blog via fb and this post leaves me feeling compelled to (1) tell you that I was doing so, (2) watch Steel Magnolias by myself, no doubt ending in tears (I'M FINE I'M FINE I'M FINE I'M FIIIIINE!!!), and (3) ask you about couponing for fresh veggies. Being the treehuggin' vegetarian I am, I buy mostly fresh veggies and fruits. What's the deal with couponing for that? It's not like there's tons of manufacturer's coupons for veggies (although for salad mixes, I always use 'em). I mean, I can buy whichever variety is on sale, but I still seem to drop way too much cash on produce.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367702447290975511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832748644398583871.post-10853967473711946712010-03-17T19:02:00.980-04:002010-03-17T19:02:00.980-04:00I just use the one out of the Cuisinart cookbook b...I just use the one out of the Cuisinart cookbook but it's not very fluffy.
