Zarbees Cough Syrup $2 Shipped

Posted on June 30, 2010 in Deals of the Day 7 comments

Zarbees is a honey based cough syrup.  It is all natural and safe for use on children 12 months or older.  You can also try it for only $2 per bottle delivered.  Just use promo code USA during checkout.  The limit is one bottle per transaction in order to enjoy the free shipping but you can order as many as I want.

I got a free sample of this last August and this stuff is sweet, sometimes to sweet to swallow.  But it was the only thing I could take when I had a cold a couple of months ago and it helped.

Thanks Ginny!

Oh no! Banned from Coupons.com

Posted on June 30, 2010 in Fun Things 14 comments

I just wanted to show you what Coupons.com is offering me right now.  After so many of you are saying that coupons.com have reset I went on to check and the site says they have ZERO coupons for me today.  No more saving money with coupons for me :-(

Anyways, I think they are in the process of resetting and that’s why it is showing like this.  Are you getting this same message too?

Sobe Coupon Reset? Limit Increased?

Posted on June 30, 2010 in Coupons 59 comments

Have you been playing the Sobe Heads or Tails Game?  Well, if you are like me and keep winning the buy one get one free coupon but can’t print more because you already printed it I have good news for you.  According to my friend Marcia, the coupon has reset and according to Karen over at Minnesota Adventures not only did the coupon reset but also she was able to print 8 coupons!  GASP!

I hope I am able to experience this tomorrow when I get to play again.  I swear I almost play this game right after I wake up in the mornings, so I haven’t been able to confirm this myself.  Make sure to let me know if it reset for you.

Guest Post: Trifle Dessert for the Fourth of July

Posted on June 30, 2010 in Budget Recipes 7 comments

The following is a guest post by Liz at Hoosier Homemade.  You may remember her from when I shared her awesome Memorial Day cupcakes.  She is now bringing you this delicious and beautiful looking 4th of July Trifle.

Thanks so much Mercedes for having me! I’m just thrilled to be sharing this fun Trifle Dessert with you and your readers!  Fourth of July is one of my favorite Holidays! I love decorating, cooking and especially baking for this fun Holiday! But, along with the Holidays, come extra expenses and trying to stay within my grocery budget can sometimes be difficult.

I enjoy sharing this Trifle Dessert! It is a low cost dessert to make, can be changed to fit your taste, and everyone always loves it whenever I take it to a cookout or get-together. Not to mention it looks very impressive, it looks like you spent several hours on it, but it’s actually very easy.
Trifle Dessert:

  • Trifle Bowl or large vase with straight sides
  • Cake, brownies, cookies or even cupcakes work just fine (Cake mixes are $.88 at Walmart)
  • 2 tubs of Whipped Topping (I buy mine at Aldi’s for $.89, but you can often find Cool Whip on sale)
  • 1 box Vanilla Instant Pudding ($.45)
  • 1 container of Strawberries ($1.19 at Aldi’s this week)
  • 1 container of Blueberries ($1.99 at Aldi’s this week)
  • Decorations (sprinkles and stars made from Candy melts, if desired)

Directions:
Bake cake, brownies, cookies or cupcakes, cool and cut into pieces. Place on bottom layer.
Mix pudding as directed on box, place in fridge to set. Then fold in 1 tub of Whipped Topping.
Spoon over cake layer. Then slice strawberries and add on top of pudding.
Add a layer of Whipped Topping, about 1/2 the container. Then repeat layers.
I added a few Blueberries on top, for color. Blueberries are a little more expensive than strawberries, it would take probably 2 maybe 3 boxes if you wanted to add them to the layers.
To make the Trifle Dessert more festive, I added a few sprinkles and some stars made from Wilton Candy Melts. I also used some of the stars when I created my Fourth of July Cupcakes.


This dessert goes a long way, feeding at least 25 servings. You definately get a lot of “bang” for your buck with this Fourth of July Dessert.

But right now through this offer you can get two years for the same price.  PLUS you get to choose a local school to get a donation of 40% of your total.  To get this magazine this cheap:
