This week we have some pretty good deals at Rite Aid and Target. I prefer gift cards to store rewards because, I confess, I have inadvertently let store rewards expire before using them. (I hate that!). But, gift cards don’t expire. So, if you’re good at making sure you won’t lose those store rewards and live near a Rite Aid, then you’ve got deals from Rite Aid and Target to choose from. If you’re like me and don’t have a Rite Aid in your area or are worried about losing those rewards dollars, then Target is a safe option
Have you ever let store rewards dollars expire?

It’s been a rough few days in our house. I’ve somehow managed to ruin three meals in 4 days. Various reasons from burning green beans to over salting our meat. It’s just not been fun. There is nothing worse than throwing food away and wasting all that money. So I had to figure out a way to save our dinner where it could be saved. There are actually quite a few tips out there for you if you happen to run into one of these situations. Make sure you bookmark this page so you can refer back to it.

1. Overcooked veggies. You may not like your veggies mushy. That’s ok though, you can still use them. Store your veggies in the freezer and add it to a soup or stew. You don’t have to throw them away and they still taste pretty good in a soup.
2. Burned bottom of soup. The VERY SECOND you know you’ve burned the bottom of a soup, pour it into another pan, but DON’T SCRAPE THE BOTTOM!!! Then taste the soup. Sometimes if you haven’t stirred the bottom, the burned taste will stay on the bottom. Sometimes this works and sometimes not.
3. Too much salt? This was our problem tonight. It was in a gravy and it was bad. So I added a little more milk to my gravy and much better. If you’ve done this with soups try put in chunks of potatoes and let them soak up the salt. It can’t be a HUGE amount of salt, but this works.
4. Cake that falls apart. I tried to make a cake the other day and it was a DISASTER. Seriously the whole thing fell apart. There was no way it was going to be a cake, so I did second best, I made cake balls!

Summer is here, are your kids bored yet? It’s only a matter of time when your kids are clawing at the walls and you’re ready for school to start again. But hopefully these Thrifty tips will help you when you hit that point. These are ideas that are either free or very cheap for you to do with your kids.

1. Library day. Your children may even have some summer reading so the library would be great. A lot of libraries even have summer programs. Check out their calendar and put it on yours. Most programs will be free and tons of fun.
2. Rent a Redbox. This is a much better option than just finding something on TV. This way your family can make an outing out of it and you can choose something together. The kids can get out of the house and Redbox has a lot of promos going on during the summer to get you free rentals.
3. Vacation bible schools. A lot of local churches will do VBS. They are generally free and the kids love them! You can either call around or check out your community calendar, a lot of churches will put their event on there.
4. Do a building workshop! Both Lowes and Home Depot both have free workshops for kids. Check them out.
5. Clean the floor! Yes, I said clean the floor. Throw your children into their swimming suits, wet the floor, add a little soap and let them slip and slide around. They will have a blast and when it’s done, simply take a rag and wipe it up. Your children have scrubbed the floor having fun and you got a chore done! How fun does that sound!?
What are your thrifty ideas for the summer?

My family has been on a journey to get rid of as much processed food as possible, but remain on a budget. One of our most favorite things in the world is popcorn. Especially movie butter popcorn! I can smell it now! However the artificial stuff in it is not something we want to eat anymore. So this past weekend I played around and make the perfect popcorn without the junk and it was VERY thrifty!

What You Need
Popcorn kernels
Butter
Bowl
Plate
Salt
What To Do
1. Render your butter. This makes it so your butter doesn’t make your popcorn soggy. It’s super easy to do, just follow THESE instructions.
2. Put 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels into a microwave safe bowl and cover with a plate.
3. Microwave for 2.5 minutes watching to make sure it doesn’t burn.
4. Pour rendered butter over popcorn and salt to taste.
This truly makes the best popcorn ever! It even rivals movie popcorn. And the cost is minimal. One bag of popcorn kernels will make a ton of popcorn. The savings is immediate!
