Campbell’s skillet sauces review

 

 

As a BzzAgent I signed up for a Campbell's Skillet Sauces campaign. I was a little hesitate because this was little out of my comfort zone, but im trying to be a little more adventurous for my families sake. We received two packages of the Campbell's Skillet Sauces, Masala and Toasted Sesame. My husband and I decided we wanted to try the Masala , so we cooked up some chicken and added the Masala skillet sauce. Reduce heat and cover for another 5 minutes or so until chicken was cooked. Super easy! I love easy. We decided to serve our Chicken Masala on a bed of egg noodles with a side of corn. I have to be honest, I thought it was tasty, but I couldn't eat much of it. Maybe I was just having a bad day or maybe it was to far out of my comfort zone . I am not sure why I didn't enjoy it as much but my husband sure did! My daughter is a little like me, on the picky side, she ate some but not really on her own. I liked it but I think I would try a different flavor, we still have the toasted sesame. Also the fire roasted tomato sounds really good!

What did I love? 1. It was super easy to cook up. 2. It’s an easy alternative to boring ol chicken 3. my husband loved it

What didn’t I love? It just didn’t seem to be for me, I've never had masala before so maybe I'm just no a fan.

Overall I would make it again but probably just for my husband, but I am open to trying another kind.

Perdue Oven Ready Products

 

As a member of BzzAgent I was given the opportunity to try Perdue Oven Ready products. Oh my how excited was I to try these!

November 2012 002

Perdue Oven Ready products are pre-seasoned so no need to do any prep work! Just remove the Oven ready bag from the packaging , cut a slit in it, and pop in the oven! Simple as that!

We really wanted to try the Boneless Chicken Breast but my store did not sell it Sad smile so we settled for the Turkey roast.  The turkey was absolutely sooo good and I am really glad I picked it up instead of searching all over town.

November 2012 006

So moist and juicy! We paired ours with the traditional mashed potatoes and peas. Biscuits or croissants would have been so good with it , but I forgot until it was to late.

November 2012 010

Even Lily ate every bite! Definitely putting this on the menu again, it was a very easy HEALTHY  meal for us.

 

*I am a BzzAgent and received items to review for this campaign. Thanks BzzAgent and Perdue! #GotitFree *

Intense Hydration-Update

 

A  week or so ago I told you I was a BzzAgent and was offered an opportunity to try out Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration. I wanted to post an update. I have been so busy the past few weeks I really feel like I have so much on my plate my to do list just keeps growing!  Im ashamed to admit I am horrible at keeping up with the typical “beauty” routines. However I am very proud of myself for keeping to a normal routine with these products. Its been roughly two weeks since I started this “challenge” and I am still very pleased! My face has never felt this moisturized. My favorite thing is still the smell , I absolutely love the smell of this stuff! It is very relaxing. I am noticing my face is not only smoother to the touch but also pores seem smaller & the fine lines are gradually disappearing!

My only complaint is the night cream is very ,for lack of better word, sticky when applied. However it only takes a minute to blend into your skin.

Stay tuned for another update in about a week Smile maybe with pictures!

Check out Burt’s Bees website to get a coupon! Only available for two more days!

Saved $53.04    84% savings!!

Im very excited for this trip!! Sobe and the green tea are my favorite drinks but I never NEVER have room for them in my budget but with my coupons and this sale I DID!

My Sobe coupons I have been collecting for such a sale, every time I went to the store I would take one or two, I never took them all at once . Ive been collecting them for about a month , very surprised they lasted that long. I have one or two coupons left . I hope I can go back and get more before this sales over.

The fruit snack coupons were from a booklet I believe, I got them off eBay. I don’t recommend buying them but I got 20 for $2 , and this is something we buy very regularly.

The Frigo string cheese is normally $6!!  That’s crazy to me, I'm thinking about getting some more while its cheap .

 

KMART

I forgot to take a picture of my Kmart trip . The cashier told me on my last trip that I had $5 in points expiring today , and then when I got home I had an email saying I was awarded with $5 in points to use in apparel so I guess that was the $5 the cashier was telling me about.  I decided to try and find something for Lily. I refuse to let money expire! I really wanted to find  her shoes for her birthday but settled for a really cute Dora  Shirt and pants for next year, after my points I spent $2.72. Keep an eye on your emails, this is the 3rd or 4th time I have gotten points for doing nothing !

 

Budget spent: $13.49

Budget remaining: $34.01

~Meijer Trip~

 

I made a trip to Meijer to take advantage of the  Kraft Catalina, We use a lot of cheese and it has a long expiration date on it. Even though we do use a lot I really didn’t want to go through line with 10 bags of cheese Smile with tongue out  I mixed a few different items so I could get the Catalina AND get a few items we needed. My husband came with me for this trip so I decided to do two separate orders so I didn’t have to worry about making a special trip up to use it.

They have tons of clothes 40% off already clearance prices! The $5 email coupon I have had for awhile and forgot exactly what it was for, I remember it just said kids merchandise.

I had a ton of issues with my coupons scanning, the new barcode NEVER seems to scan at my store.  She had to key in the Velveeta and the Kids advantage coupon. And it took her awhile to do that. She was really nice though so no complaining Smile

She also told me I had $5 in points expiring in next three days so I have to go back soon. Hoping there is a good paper products deal next week.

On another blog I saw you can use two of the Glade coupons even though one is free. I know how much trouble I have at my store so I decided not to try it.

~Kroger Mega Event~

The “What a Deal” Mega Event started last week at Kroger and continues this week. This is the best mega event I have seen in awhile, I was so excited !  I stocked up on a lot of things. Some things we wouldn’t necessary use on a regular basic but because it was such a good deal I stocked up. My husband takes his lunch to work everyday to avoid spending so much money at the machines. So most of the snacks will be for his lunches . When I used to work at the same factory he works at I could easily spend $10 a DAY on drinks and food. It was crazy.

~Making a Comeback~

I’ve been gone for a few months, as you all could see. I've been struggling balancing everything.  Lily is now almost 3 years old and is pretty much attached to my hip 24/7, which I love most of the time, but I struggle with having time for my hobbies. I am going to try and make myself make time for blogging. So hang on tight, don’t give up on me…I'm back Smile

So since I have been gone deals have been very hard to come by, I got into a bad coupon funk, and I just really didn’t care anymore. I have been having a very hard time staying within my budget Sad smile  We are trying  very hard to eat healthier and eat less processed foods , that just makes my budget seem very unattainable.

However this past week the Kroger mega event and a bunch of really good coupons lately have given me hope Smile  I will hopefully be sharing some of my other adventures I have been exploring. Lots of DIY and crafty stuff coming up!!

~Taking a break~

As you have probably noticed, I have decided to take a short break on blogging. I hope it will not be to long of a break but as Lily grows I am finding less and less time to be on the computer. I really enjoy blogging so I hope to find a balance soon. Thank you all Smile
