Target Price Match Toys R Us

Toys R Us came out with their two day ad for Friday and Saturday. They had these Leapfrog Caterpillars for $10.49. If you take their ad to Target to the Customer Service Desk they will price match these and use the Target coupon for $10 off and get these for $0.49/each. I was able to get the last 2 at my local Target, two christmas prestents down for less than $1!!!!

Target



I went to Target tonight to get the Baby Wipes deal but of course they were all out. But I did see that they had Coffee-Mate on sale for $1.50 and some were even marked down to $1.16, so with the $1/1 coupon at coupons.com you can get some inexpensive creamer.

Baking Days

I started my baking Saturday morning with one batch of strawberry waffles and one batch of chocolate chip waffles.

I then made a double batch of pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and finished off with a pan of lasagna and two pans of ziti.

Monday night I was able to make 14 egg, ham, & cheese breakfast burritos and a homemade pumpkin pie.


Tonight I made two pans of turkey, broccoli, rice, & cheese casserole (1 for dinner and 1 to freeze). I substituted turkey for chicken because we were able to get 2 turkeys at Wal-mart for $0.40/lb.

Homemade Pumpkin Puree


So I decided to make my own pumpkin puree Sunday. I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to find any in the stores with the shortage and why let the pumpkins go to waste? So it wasn't as hard as I thought. We cut up our big (22lb) pumpkin into smaller pieces and laid them face down on a baking sheet and baked them at 350 degrees for 1.5 hours, I also had a smaller pumpkin. After they cooled the skin peeled right off and then into the food processor until it was smooth. Then I put 2 cups into each sandwich baggy and froze them. I'm excited to use them in my recipes and see how they turn out. I'm planning on making a double batch of pumpkin chocolate chip muffins this weekend!
