Harris Teeter Triple Coupons

Hey people who live in Harris Teeter states! This weekend is triple coupon weekend up to $0.99!!! The dates are from 4/29 to 5/5. Southern Savers has a great post here that lays out the rules and lots of great coupon match ups.

Take advantage of this.. My parents did and they scored the loot pictured above for $21.50 (at least a 50% savings)!!

31 Cents @ 31 Flavors

From 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Wednesday, 4/29/2009 Baskin Robbins will be reducing the price of small cones to $0.31! Be sure to contact your Baskin Robbins to see if they are participating. Locals...here are the locations nearest you

What To Do With All That Money You're Saving....

So....now that we are getting GREAT deals and saving so much money.....what's next???

Here are a couple of ways that you can give your time and/or money to others:

#1 My husband wrote a post on his blog of 50 things that you can do to serve others and your community. In addition to that, you will find two more links each with 50 MORE things that you can do. Find these practical and sometimes challenging lists here.

#2 On Sunday we heard a great sermon from Barrett. He talked about how we can reach out to the fatherless. There are quite a few things that you can do, but I am going to highlight Compassion International

You can adopt a child for $32 monthly, $96 quarterly, or $384 yearly. Where does this money go? Here are some direct quotes from the Compassion International pamphlet: *Opportunities for improved health and education, *training to become a productive citizen, *a way out of poverty, *help in connecting with a local church based program where he or she will feel loved, valued, and protected.

This organization has been operating for over 50 years and conduct independent finanical audits each year. This is your chance to help out a child in over 24 countries for a price for tank or two of gas!

Frugal Experiment: Entertainment

We had a nice time this weekend with my father-in-law and sister-in-law. We did a couple of fun but new and frugal things on Saturday that I thought I would share.


First we went and toured the Wild Turkey Bourbon Distillary. It was about 30 minutes away and the tour is FREE complete with a gift shop to browse. Justin did buy a $3 bottle of Wild Turkey Bar-b-que sauce for the lunch he made at home after our tour. To find out more details about the tour click here.


Later we went to the Bible themed putt-putt golf course in Lexington. You can play one course for $5.50 or you can play all 3 courses for $7.50. If you choose the latter, then they will stamp your card and you can leave and come back anytime during the day to play. BUT, if you have an Entertainment Book there is a Buy One Game Get One FREE coupon (good for the one course option only). So you and a friend could play a course for $2.75 each!

Make Your Own Laundry Detergent

My friend Kelly G. gave me this simple recipe to make your own laundry detergent. I tried it out this past weekend and it works great! I give this experiment an A+. Here are the details she sent me:

This is a phosphate-free, perfume-free, dye-free concentrated powdered detergent for laundry. It costs just pennies per load and will last for 6 months to a year, depending on much laundry you do.

12 cups Borax
8 cups baking soda
8 cups grated ivory soap (about 9 bars)
8 cups super washing soda

Mix together ingredients very well and crush all clumps
Only use 1/8 cup (about 2 Tbs) per load (will not suds or bubble)

Tips:
- Freeze ivory soap before grating to make it a little easier & faster
- Use 1/4 c. white vinegar as a fabric softener in the rinse cycle
- Borax is found in the laundry aisle - cheapest was found at IGA
- Super Washing Soda - available from drugstore.com by Arm & Hammer
