"Angelfood Ministries" I'm making Chili with my AF ground beef!

I'm trying this Chili with the ground beef  I got in my Angelfood signature box for March.  We are really enjoying our food.  You can order your April Angelfood order at ALVC any Sunday following service, or you can order on line through Overflow Ministries.

If you order online and want to pick up your order at ALVC just let us know at the information desk after service on any Sunday prior to the pick up date.  The pick- up date for April is April 17, 2010 from 10:00 am until 12:00 noon. 

Help us support AngelFood who gives food around the world to help people in need.  As we help them we also help ourselves.
 
With the signature box you can feed a family of four for five days.  That is $6.00 a day or $1.50 a person.  How great is that!

If you live in another part of Cincinnati or another area of the country go on line to www.angelfoodministries.com and find a host site in your area.  There are host sites in many cities across the country.

Enjoy the Chili.

The Language of Couponing Part Two

This is part two of "The Language of Couponing." It has helped me save a lot of money. I hope it will help you. I'm writing this before I go to sleep. I don't want you to miss a deal. The new weekly fliers are out for most of the stores. I have already been to CVS today. My bill was $61.00 and I paid $29.00. I took my husband with me. It amazes him how I use coupons to save us money. He is learning, but I haven't sent him on his own yet to do a big shop. He is close!

The following list is good information to know. I have found the more information you have regarding coupon use the better. I am still learning.

Walgreens has a coupon booklet that is usually next to their fliers. I have found coupons in that little booklet and the same product on sale in the store, and on top of that, I had a manufacturers coupon which you can use with the store coupon from your booklet(this is called stacking). Many times I get the item for free or almost free. I really love when that happens. I always pick up one or two booklets each time I'm in the store. They come out at the end of the month.

Rolling Catalinas - (Catalina print at the register) You can use your catalina as payment on another transaction of equal merchandise and another catalina will still print.
Example: If you buy five (5) brand name items a five ($5) catalina will print. Then you buy another set of five of the same items you can use the previous catalina to pay toward your order and another $5 catalina will print.
This can be a big money saver.

Internet Printable - Can be found on most Manufacturers websites and on blogs.
Check this blog for coupons.

Inserts - RP Red Plum SS Smart Source PG Proctor & Gamble GM General Mills usually found in the Sunday Paper. They all have websites you can print coupons from.

Stacking coupons - Is when the store allows you to use their store coupons along with a manufactures coupon for the same item.

I hope this is helpful to you. Leave a comment and let me know.
