It’s rice cereal time tonight, so I was at the conventional grocery store to see what they had in terms of organic baby food. They don’t have rice cereal, but they have a fair amount of organic jars and tubs, including the Roundy’s store brand organic baby food, stages 1 & 2. What I also found was $10/10 of the plastic tubs of Gerber 2nd foods, which comes in packs of 2. There were a half-dozen varieties at the very reasonable price of $0.50/unit. I’m going to stock up, and if you’re near a Pick ‘N Save and need baby food, the sale runs through the 24th. Anyone know about any printable Gerber coupons floating out there?

It’s been awhile since I visited Trader Joe’s Fan, but I’m glad I did because they post PDFs of their “Fearless Flyer” which shows all of the current specials. And of course, they review things you might be hesitant to try and post great recipes. When I’m done getting rid of food, I know I’ll be hitting TJs to restock.

We’re going to be starting solid food with the triplets soon (they are currently 5 months, but only 3.5 months adjusted to their original due date, so we’ll be starting in 3-4 weeks I’d guess). I’ll be making a lot of our own food but I know we’ll buy some too lest we discover they all hate any green vegetable after making and freezing quarts of strained peas. There are coupons for $1/10 Earth’s Best in a lot of locations, including their website. With three babies to feed, I’ll be printing them all!

Checking in at the Taylortown Coupon Preview for this Sunday, there is actually one great coupon that will appear in the Smart Source circular: $1 off 2 Garden of Eatin’ chips. These chips are not only yummy (I think I’ve mentioned my addiction to the Guacamole chips before) but they apply towards the Barnes & Noble gift card offer I posted yesterday. So, if you buy the paper for this coupon, recycle or repurpose (paper mache anyone?) the rest and ship the coupons you won’t use off to someone who will use them, if the paper costs $1 or less and if you were going to buy the chips anyhow… that’s a lot of ‘ifs,’ but it might be worth it for you. Personally, I’ll just ask someone I know who gets the paper already for theirs.

Two quick things, one for this afternoon only…

I’m not an Allure magazine reader, but this looks like something my poor skin could use: Korres Natural Products Olive and Rye Regimen Kit (retail value: $65) The first 250 people to sign up at 4 P.M. EDT / 1 P.M. PST will get one kit free. I’ve never used one of these give-aways, so hopefully I will get through and see what it takes to get it.

At Publix, Earth’s Best Organic Baby Food Assorted Varieties, 6 Months and Up, 4-oz jar is $0.99 BOGO. You can print your own coupon, too, for more savings, or to use if (like us) you aren’t near a Publix.
