Happy Easter – freezer pork roasts

There was a .99/lb Jewel pork roast deal back last July.  I bought a few, had them triple-wrapped in plastic and tossed into the freezer.  Took one out yesterday and had DH halve it today when thawed – you see the cooked results above.  One is a more traditional garlic, salt & pepper seasoning, while the other is a 7 herb blend I rubbed on all sides after a rub in olive oil.  DH just walked into the kitchen and said Boy, they shrunk (yes, they filled the entire pan originally!).

Serving with mashed potatoes, Monopoly pork gravy and Green Giant broccoli spears.  Hope your dinners are as hassle-free as this one was.

Sale + Rebate on Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil

Right now, Advance Auto Parts is running a special for 5 quarts of Mobil 1 Full Synthetic or Full Synthetic High Mileage and a Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil filter as well as one roll of Scott Shop Heavy Duty Shop Towels for $29.99.

Decent enough price, but throw in this $17 Mobile MIR and it’s even better!  While Advance Auto Parts is not listed as a participating retailer, the mail in rebate should work since Carquest, which is owned by Advance Auto Parts, is listed as a participating retailer.  Others have said they haven’t had any problems in the past.

edit: Free shopping at Jewel

The anything Ibotta rebate for 25¢ has reset, so scan your receipt on the freebies and make money! I just got back a quarter on the water.
MyMixx freebies plus some of the Monopoly Instant Winners – the batteries tickets was a new one for me.  Here’s something watch out for – – if you have a coupon loaded on your account and it turns up as a MyMixx freebie, only the cents-off coupon comes off!  I had added a Left Field coupon for 55¢ and even though my account showed the clipped coupon, it wouldn’t come off.  They made it work, but something to be aware of.  And apparently it was “I don’t want my Monopoly tickets, you can have them day!”
