The reason I bring it up is that Ibotta, Shopmium and Coupons.com have been offering rebates for it.

I was thinking it would go cheaper for St Patrick’s Day too. I will have to try the cabbage core with salt. I like that idea.

I normally buy Johnsonville sausage. I like to make bread pudding from the bread heels. I also use it in frikkadel, instead of breadcrumbs. That is a great price for Sprite. I just noticed that a 12 pk now costs $6.49 around here. Hope you & Bailey have a wonderful weekend!Ms Goosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797339521461126415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-19242423828690412102023-03-17T19:38:41.501-04:002023-03-17T19:38:41.501-04:00The money you are getting for the trees is such a ...The money you are getting for the trees is such a blessing. I use to always throw away the broccoli stems until a lady showed me how to peel off the woody part down until you get to the white center part. I chop them up and steam them or I just eat them raw with salt. I do the same thing with the cabbage core. I eat the center core raw with salt. I learned this from my dad who grew up during the Great Depression. I thought cabbage would be much lower in price because of St. Patricks day being today but the best price I could find was .49 lb at Kroger. I was shocked at the grocery prices today. I went to Aldi and they have really gone up on their prices. When I volunteered at our church soup kitchen for the homeless, we would use the heels of the bread and turn them so they were on the inside of the sandwich just like you said. Happy St. Patricks Day!Bobbinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-3463724244634140582023-03-17T18:48:05.109-04:002023-03-17T18:48:05.109-04:00I love the bread crusts.

I've tried another brand, and really liked it in jambalaya.<br />Glad you were able to get some money for the trees, and I hope you get enough for the property taxes. <br />I haven't heard of red bud winter, but I have heard blackberry winter and guess it is later in the spring when the blackberries bloom. I've had to turn my fireplace on this week too as it has been cold. <br />Hope you have a great weekend.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11093313893708262722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-40706276583446882742023-03-17T10:48:07.835-04:002023-03-17T10:48:07.835-04:00It was a busy week, so not many frugal wins.

I picked up some free fruit from a neighbor (we had a big storm, and many of the trees dropped their fruit), & used some store rewards to pick up a few things we needed.
