Thrift pizzas are cosmetically defective (pepperoni or sausage in wrong spots, etc.), but otherwise exactly the same as retail, bulk pizzas are the pretty boys you find in grocery freezers. I have to admit these are very tasty pizzas.
These Dock Sales are only held a couple of times a year, so if HRI is your fave, stock up now. Location is easily accessible (link to Google Maps).
Join the first Mashup Mom and deranged.me Coupon/Stockpile Swap Meet at the Lisle Public Library on Saturday, April 19th from 1-3. Want or have baby coupons or just running low on peanut butter and hoping to swap for your extra jelly? Stop on by and see what you can find. If you are looking for/hoping to swap a lot of something, feel free to comment.
The last batch of the FREE 12 pack coupons from MyCokeRewards expires today. I always keep the freebie coupon in their own special pouch ’cause, well, they’re special! Since I had quite a few of the 3/31/14 coupons, I picked up 15 Mueller yogurts, 3 packs of Diet Coke, 6 pouches of Bumble Bee Albacore Tuna at Jewel and paid $3.42. Why so much? I only had a couple of the Coke coupons left, so sometimes you have to pay for food, unfair though it might seem.
Lately I’ve been keeping the March P&G inserts in the car, since I’ve been running into so many clearance items at Walgreens: This Vidal Sassoon gel, various brand hair colors, many styling products, all vastly reduced and just waiting to be rescued for the price of a coupon. In this case the stuff wasn’t free, but I hadn’t seen it before on clearance and I was in an expensive Walgreens (the Vidal Sassoon mousse pump I bought for $1.19 was $2.39 here!).
This is one of a couple of Eight O’Clock coffees that were purchased, who knows – they’re not mine! Anyway, the point is that coffee, unlike some wines, does not mature, nor is there a market for vintage. I’m gonna open this at some point in the near future as a test: even if it’s not rancid, it’s likely to taste like pyramid dust.
Note: Do not automatically put new products on the stockpile shelves and block the older stuff (what are you, Dominicks?) and you end up with lots of food that can’t be donated (and pantries would kill for coffee and tea), or even fed to teenagers…
Here’s the entire article withFitBit refund information – basically it involves skin irritation. Note: On February 20, 2014, Fitbit Inc. announced a refund program for the Fitbit Force. This news release serves as the official Consumer Products Safety Commission recall announcement.
Hazard: Users can develop allergic reactions to the stainless steel casing, materials used in the strap, or adhesives used to assemble the product, resulting in redness, rashes or blistering where the skin has been in contact with the tracker. So it’s not like your skin will drop off like a zombie or something…unless you plan to attend the Walker Stalker Con this weekend.
FirstBorn readily agreed (hahahahahaha – yeah) to run the PITA errands this afternoon, freeing up enormous amounts of my time: Finally got around to dumping expired inserts. How to know what to keep and what to dump is easy using that handy-dandy Insert Checker on the right sidebar.
Say you have a small bundle of 156 10/6 inserts and wanna know if you should toss them or take a chance on the floorboards collapsing. You click on 10, then the 6 and you find that all coupons from those inserts except Smart Source have expired and the last date of expiration. The SS date is 2/28. What I always do is pull out one of the inserts and thumb through it, looking for that one coupon. 99.9% it’s for Morton water softening salt tablets, so I feel no pangs about tossing the entire insert. If, as happened with quite a few today, there is one coupon that might very well show up on a clearance cart, then I pull the entire page and clip them with all the other orphans.
Today I emptied out 2 1/2 full totes. Used to be my recycling guy threw hexes at my house, but now I load up the car and dump them in the paper recycling dumpster at the library (so they get the extra $$).
In 2006, 16-year-old Sam Spitz of Chicago was sickened by chicken contaminated with antibiotic-resistant campylobacter. He battled the pathogen for months, ultimately losing 30 pounds before making a full recovery. The experience inspired him and his family to become passionate advocates for a safer, more sustainable food system that is not reliant an antibiotic overuse. The Spitzes’ journey is documented in a new film, “Food Patriots,” which shows the family’s often-hilarious and poignant quest to raise food in their back yard while meeting other sustainable-food activists along the way.
Click here to watch the trailer for “Food Patriots” and RSVP for the free online premiere next Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 7 p.m. CST/8 p.m. EST. I just watched the trailer and I’m signing up so I can watch the entire show: it’s funny and scary and I want that Fresh Produce Bus driving down my streets!
Right after the screening, we will join Sam, his parents, Jennifer and Jeff, and other food and health advocates for a Twitter chat (#FoodPatsChat) about how you can become a Food Patriot and help create a more sustainable food system.

CVS target date is October 1, 2014.
This YouTube video came from Handimania, sent to MUM and me by a sharp-eyed reader. Rachel, of course, posted immediately, while I sat there, mesmerized, going “How cool is this!!!” and PITA and I just watched it again…
Which once again proves I need a life. Watch because it shows an incredibly fast and easy way to separate yolks and whites and the entire video is less than 2 minutes long.
