Free Burgers for the Feixes (and any other James)

If we could get the first born Feix males together today, we could get away like bandits at Red Robin, where they are offering FREE Jim Beam Burgers to anyone with the name James (or any variation).  My babe, Nolan, is really James Nolan, after his daddy, Alex, really James Alexander, his grandpa, Jim, his great grandpa, Jimmy, and his great-great grandpa, James. That's a whole lot of Jameses!

Who knows, if Alex (James) gets off of work early enough, we might just check this out. Maybe they would let the momma of our second James eat a free burger for her baby. :)

In the Durham area, you will find Red Robins off of 15-501 and in Brier Creek.

Meal Plan Monday - Seeking Crock Pot Recipes!

This should be a "Meal Plan Monday," but it's Monday evening at 5:30, and no plan has been made. The hubs has been working ridiculous hours for the past few weeks, and it's making mealtime pretty tricky. I'm lacking motivation to come up with meals when I'm not sure if/when he'll be able to eat.

I bought a rotisserie chicken for last night's dinner, and it looks like the leftovers will be used in some form tonight - maybe fajitas.

I think I need to search the internet for crockpot recipes. These seem like they'd be a perfect solution to our dinner time uncertainty. I have a few go to favorites, but would love some more.

Do you have a favorite crock pot recipe to share??? Post a comment to share a recipe or link!

Understanding Overage

If you haven't yet printed the coupon for $3.00 off one Kikkoman Panko Bread Crumbs, I suggest you do so. Not only will you be able to snag a free box, but you will also have a chance to try your hand at using overage.

Overage is sometimes given by a store when the value of a coupon exceeds the price of an item. For example, the bread crumbs are on sale at Target for $1.97 (found in the Asian food section), but the coupon states $3.00 off. If you are lucky, Target will give you the additional $1.03 to be applied to the rest of your items. Not all Target stores will give overage. Some will adjust the coupon to the price of the item. ALL Walmart stores will give overage, either applying it to the price of other items, or giving you cash back!

I shopped at Target today, using two coupons for panko crumbs. This gave me $2.06 in overage. I also had two $2.00 off Kashi coupons (from Recyclebank - use back browser arrow to print two), which would make granola bars $0.99 a box. I decided to buy two boxes. This left me with $0.08 of overage. I needed tomato sauce for dinner this week, so I bought one can and had the $0.08 applied toward the cost. Oh, and I paid for the balance of my bill with my Ebates Target gift card! No money out of pocket. :)

If you were to use the Kikkoman coupon, the overage could be used for any other product you wanted to buy. Buying other items matched with coupons simply stretches your money further.

Have you ever tried using overage from coupons???

In case you're interested, the Snickers pictured were FREE at Walgreens. They are on sale two for $1.00. There is a coupon for $1.00 off two (click get coupon), which makes them free. You are able to print two coupons per computer, making four free candy bars per computer. These would be great stocking stuffers!

Daily Deal - $20 at The Body Shop for $10 (Groupon)

If you're still in need of Christmas gifts, check out Groupon, where they are offering $20 to The Body Shop for $10. The voucher is only valid in stores and expires on December 24th, but this would still make a great way to save a little holiday shopping money. The Body Shop sells many items for under $10, so this could be a way to load up on stocking stuffers, or a treat or two for yourself.

Printable Coupon - $3/1 Panko Bread Crumbs or Ponzu Sauce (=FREE)

I LOVE cooking with panko bread crumbs, so I was excited to see a printable coupon for them this morning! If you head to the Food Network website, you have the opportunity to print a Kikkomon coupon that will score you FREE panko crumbs or ponzu sauce. The coupon is for $3 off 1 product. You will find these products for well under $3.00 at most grocery stores.

Remember, you can print two coupons per computer!

Rite Aid Trip - 12/2 - Junk Food Freebies

I'm not one to keep sweets in the house. I bake infrequently, and I usually don't buy candy. With Alex on a tough work rotation this month, though, we could both use a little reward by the end of the day. Plus, we have our first teenage babysitter coming tomorrow night (YAY YAY YAY - first date night since September!), and I remember how much I disliked sitting for families with empty cabinets. SO, when I saw an opportunity to score some free treats from Rite Aid, I jumped.

Through Saturday, Rite Aid is selling two bags of Hershey's or Reese's brand holiday candies for $5. I had a coupon for a November insert for $1 off any two bags of Hershey's or Reese's candies. I also had one Rite Aid Ad Perk coupon for $1 off two bags of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and one for $1 off two bags of Hershey's Kisses. This meant that I could get four bags for $7. For every two bags purchased, I would earn $2 in +Up Rewards, for a total of $4. I had a $7 +Up Reward from a previous purchase that I could use as payment, which meant I just had to pay sales tax for four bags of candy.

I decided to use the $4 reward from the candy to buy a few other snacks to have in the house. I picked up one box of popcorn (which came with a free Red Box code) for $2.50 and a Coke for Alex, which was $1.49. The problem was, this brought my total to $3.99. I needed at least $4 worth of products to be able to use my reward, so I searched the store for a cheap filler item.

I came across bags of Reese's Pieces, on sale for $0.59. Attached to each bag was a Rite Aid coupon for $0.50 off, making each bag just $0.09! I could have picked up just one bag to put me past the $4 mark, but I added a second because it seemed too good to pass up.

Including tax, I spent $1.01 for $20 worth of products, and I will be able to get a free rental from Red Box. Not bad.  Now, with a ridiculous amount of candy in the house, it's time to hide some of it away. :)
