Here are some great frugal money saving uses for day old bread- from an article written by:
Deborah Jeanne Sergeant

Save Bread
  • Save slices in the freezer until you get enough for making stuffing. It's great with chicken, pork and turkey.
  • Crumb slices with a food processor, along with paprika, parmesan cheese, minced onion, salt and pepper. Top a casserole and broil until browned.
  • Pop a slice in the cookie jar to revive hard cookies.
  • Make slices into French toast by dipping in a 50/50 batter of egg and milk with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
  • Tear up slices and feed the birds.
  • Thickly butter slices and sprinkle with garlic powder. Toast in a 350-degree oven for Texas toast.
  • Crumb slices for breading. Brush 10 chicken strips in buttermilk and dip into a mix of 1 cup of bread crumbs, 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and 1 tsp. dried cilantro. Bake on a greased rack in a baking pan for 15 minutes at 375 degrees.
  • Make croutons by cubing slices, tossing in canola oil and sprinkling with garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder to taste. Then baking at 300 degrees until crisp and dry
Thanks, Dollar Stretchers

    Eating In or Eating Out....What's for Dinner Today

    Boy, what a deal I scored at Walgreens today!  If you and your family  like Salmon; you will love this deal.  At my house Salmon Patties are a frequent main dish. 

    Walgreens has canned Chicken of the Sea pink salmon for $1.49 this week.  I purchased 4 cans today for ........wait for it....$1.96; they usually sell for $3.69 each which would have been $14.76.  Even at $1.49 they are a deal.

    Here is what I did:
    I bought Placker Flosser 90 packs that are $2.00 a pack this week with $2.00 Register Rewards (RR). Making them free.
    I bought two packs and applied my $4.00 RR to my salmon that were $1.49, so each one cost me .49 .
     
    I was so charged!  What a deal, I saved over $10.00 and got my Salmon and my flossers.
    Loving Walgreens today.


    I hope you get your salmon this week. Below is a quick and easy recipe for Salmon Patties from Allrecepies that I hope you enjoy. Salmon salad would also be great.

    Don't feel like cooking, take the kids to Chilis, kids eat free at Chilis today.

    Blessings!

    Safer Products

    If you have ever bought an unsafe product you will want to read this!  Do you know what to do about an unsafe product?  Do  you know where to report it?

    The Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, has just released this site making it a lot easier to report any dangerous products.

    It's a new website called Safer Products.gov


    This is How it Works
    Example, you just bought an umbrella, opened it up a few  times, and note that the metal spokes that holds the fabric in place are very sharp, "this is a dangerous umbrella ."  Go to  Safer Products.gov and file a complaint.

    Once you are in the site,  select a category, describe your product, and tell them what happened.

    The complaint will be reviewed, and sent to the manufacturer for response. If it's serious problem, the CPSC will investigate.

    Special note:
    Did you know the correct place to complain about a bad car part is the NHTSA.  How many people know that? I certainly did no know it.  several years ago the accelerator pedal broke off in my car,and Ido mean completely off, the only thing I knew to do was have it repaired.  A lack of knowledge is very costly.
    ***** Thanks, John Matarese @ Don't waste your money -The Cincinnati Enquirer for this timely information. You can read his colume in the Cincinnati Enquirer daily.
