Knox Gelatine-o-rama!

You guys are cracking me up with all the Knox gelatin ideas you have sent me!!  I am sitting on one measly coupon so I will not have nearly the stock that you all have!  BUT–feel free to keep sending me your Knox pictures…you guys are the best to give me a good laugh…Shay actually spelled out “HI” in gelatin boxes and sent the picture to me!!

Candi over at Family, Stamping, and Food let me know that she posted several recipes including marshmallows and mousse…you can check them out HERE.

Maybe I should do a giveaway for the most creative use of Knox Gelatine

Weekly Meal Deal: Cook Once Eat Twice!!

I think Amanda had me in mind when she came up with her weekly meal deal this week. OK– so probably not…but I do love recipes that allow me to cook once and eat twice.  It’s not that I am lazy but making 3 meals a day almost every day can be tiring and honestly it is not fun!! So whenever I can make my life a bit easier I jump at the chance!!

This week she has come up with a recipe for meatballs that are used to make Meatball Subs one night and Baked Spaghetti the next night!  What is even better is that you will be able to do this for $1.68 per person-per meal!  Heck you would pay more than that for a soda at many places…so I would say that is definitely a meal deal! Go HERE to see the recipe and all the details!

Huge thanks (as always) to Amanda over at A Few Short Cuts!

Free Blockbuster Express Kiosk Code

For those who have a Blockbuster Express Kiosk you can use the code: GT9SA  for a FREE movie rental!  Blockbuster Express kiosks can be found in many Publix stores.  Go HERE to check for a kiosk  in your area. This code expires 2/28/10. This code can be used once per debit/credit card.

Coupon Ethics-Let’s Discuss!

My inbox is suddenly full from some of the recent discussion about coupon ethics.  So I thought I would create a post where you all can discuss and feel free to post your opinions. 

I will start by letting you know my stance on coupon usage and how I choose to post deals and such on this site: I don’t cheat –plain and simple.  It is too easy to score a deal honestly that I don’t have the need to misuse coupons!! While I am not a fan of being scrutinized by cashiers–I will gladly allow that scrutiny as I am confident the my coupons are valid!  It is an unfortunate consequence that the honest couponers must endure this scrutiny due to the fact that some choose to cheat.  No, it is not fair and often times it makes me very unhappy…but I know I can hold my head high once all is said and done!! 

I consider myself to be an ethical couponer.  I make sure I know the guidelines established by my store and follow those guidelines.  If I am ever unsure of a coupon or a policy I ask store management for their opinion.  When I create my grocery list I make sure the coupons I plan on using are accurate for what I plan on purchasing.  I make a list, sort my coupons and shop!  It is my responsibity to make sure that the coupons I use are valid and appropriate for my purchases.

Many of you send me great deals and I post the majority of those deals so that others may benefit.  Some deals I have to pass on as they may not fit the general Publix policy.  Since Publix does not have a written corporate policy AND to keep things as simple as possible I stick with generally accepted policy to ensure the majority of people will have success. 

I try very hard to ensure that I provide accurate information as I would never intentionally advocate improper coupon usage!  I am human and will make mistakes.  I appreciate the fact that there are so many of you wonderful readers who keep me on my toes and not only alert me to errors but also find additional match ups that benefit others.  I love the fact that you all are willing to help each other and thus this site seems more like a community working together than just a site to make a grocery list!

So–with all of that said…I want you all to feel free to discuss. I do ask that you keep it clean and be kind to each other as everyone is entitled to an opinion
