a meal plan, a coupon, a give away, a question

Lots of stuff, make sure to read all the way down…

You know why I’m participating in MPM so much these days? It helps me write my shopping list at my desk at work. I just look up this post on Google Reader and I’m good to go :)

Sunday - Pizza night, a few days late!

Monday - Baked Potato bar

Tuesday - Queso burritos (from the Whole Foods rotisserie chicken sale, of course)

Wednesday - Tater tot casserole (with homemade cream of mushroom, so hopefully it won’t be too scary. This is the first time I’m trying this, so we’ll see how it turns out!)

Thursday - Pasta with beans and greens

Friday - Take-out. P will be at MIL’s, so we’ll put the babies to bed and enjoy a quiet dinner.

Saturday - Chicken chili

Also on my shopping list, a FREE Happy Bites Organic Toddler Meal! PDF coupon via Attention Target Shoppers, but since we have no Super Targets in my entire state (boo!), I’ll be getting mine at Whole Foods. Note the expiration date (12/21/08) and get yours this week, too.

I have a pile of coupons (well, three piles, actually) for Seventh Generation cleaners, diapers, paper products, and some other natural/organic household and baby misc that I will be posting tomorrow. The catch is that they expire 12/31/08, but I know someone will get some use out of them.

Totally unrelated question: I cut up a few of my husband’s old plain white t-shirts to knit some dish scrubbers, and was pretty excited by the results and how fast I could knit them up. I made two today, while hanging out with the little boys and doing the last of the holiday packing and card writing, so I think they averaged less than an hour a piece! Does anyone know a resource for cutting the shirts more efficiently? That took me a lot of time and came out uneven (in a bad way) in a few too many places.

Thanks for linking to me. I hope you get to use the coupons at Whole Foods. I wanted to make sure that folks knew you could get it other places than just Target.

BTW, I don’t know why Target can’t get stores in places where Targeteers live!

Happy Holidays!

I’ve seen crochet dish cloths. Are they durable?
I love Whole Foods- Apricot Turkey is one of our favorites.

To cut up shirts so that you are able to get a nice long “string,” cut off the bottom edge of your husband shirts. This is the finished edge (or you can work it into your dishcloths). Then work diagonally in about 1/2″-1″ wide strips up and around the shirt. When you get to the arm of the shirt you do need to stop there. Take off the sleves and cut up the rest. The smaller strips of cloth work well for smaller projects or for repairing clothing. I hope this helps.
