Who says you can't find healthy savings?

Meijer $65.24- $29.70 savings = $34.97 (45% savings)
Kroger $11.22- $7.32 savings= $3.90 (65% savings)

I am hopeful the Greenworks free and clear will not cause us any problems (sensitive allergy prone skin), but decided to give it a try for $3.73. I am also very excited about the Kashi cereal which was on sale 2/$5. I received the sample box in the mail after signing up on Facebook which had $1/1 coupon enclosed. GoLean Crisp is so good I bought a box instead of using the coupon on one of my stand-by favorites. I scored another 2 coupons from a mailer from www.mambosprouts.com. I highly recommend signing up. They have high value $1+ coupons on healthy foods. That's also where I got a $1/1 Almond Breeze which was on sale for $2.50 (AND I got a FREE Silk Almond catalina)! While picking up the almond milk, we happened upon a quart of organic, plain whole milk yogurt for DS marked down from $7.92 to $1.99. Oh, those chocolate covered raisins? NOT on sale- that's what I grabbed from DD's hand before she could stuff them in her mouth as we passed the bulk bins.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

I decided to make a car cake for Buddy's first birthday. I wish I could share it step-by-step with you, but I finished this 15 minutes after guests arrived.

Basically, I baked a standard 2 layer round cake. I frosted one simply to serve guests. I sliced the other in half and stood them up on the flat cut side with a thin layer of frosting holding them together. I frosted patches of white for windows before covering the rest with blue. Oreo Cakesters made wheels, M&Ms made headlights and tail lights, and a bit of piped frosting finished up the details.

He certainly enjoyed it!
