Menu Plan 2/21-- Ten Down edition

I've officially lost ten pounds now by following the Weight Watchers online program for the last month! :)

Points Plus are listed here when I know them:
  • MONDAY: pepperoni omelets (egg beaters, peppers, onions, cheese, pepperoni, pizza sauce, etc.- pp will vary per person), fresh fruit (0pp)
  • TUESDAY: WW chicken fingers with BBQ sauce (5pp), oven fries (3pp), steamed broccoli (0pp) 
  • WEDNESDAY:  family favorite meatloaf (7pp), mashed potatoes (3pp), green beans (0pp)
  • THURSDAY: baked macaroni with cocktail weiners  (Not gourmet, LOL, but a special request of my 7 year-old who is sitting here working on the menu plan with me!) and veggies
  • FRIDAY:  hamburgers (5pp without bun), tater tots (4pp), salad (0-2pp) (requested by the "boys"-DS and DH)
  • SATURDAY:  To be determined.  I'll be spending the entire day baking in preparation for my sister's bridal shower, so dinner will probably be something easy I can toss in the crockpot in the morning.  I'll decide after I get groceries and see what I find on sale.  ;)

Peanut butter deal... by mail!

I've never ordered groceries online because I can usually do better in a store, either buying generics or else working a coupon deal.  This time, though, I definitely  scored on the Skippy Peanut Butter from Amazon, with a final cost of $1.33 per jar!  

To get this deal, CLICK HERE to go to the Skippy creamy 6-pack
= $11.40 starting total 
    Skippy Peanut Butter, Creamy, 16.3-Ounce Jars (Pack of 6)
  • Click on the right side of the page, and use "Subscribe and Save" to order.  -$1.41 subscription savings  I chose "6 months" so that I'll have plenty of time to cancel before I receive a second shipment.
  • Go to check out, and enter code UNILVR77, which makes your shipping FREE. -$8.97 savings/ free shipping
And did I mention that Skippy is my personal favorite? :)   I usually make do with the store brand, but even store brand prices couldn't beat this deal!  

Thanks to Melissa for sharing the discount code on her blog, Melissa's Bargain Blog.

Ice Storm: and more on the way!

Here's what things look like outside of my house right now:


Everything-- cars, sidewalks, trees, grass-- is covered in about half an inch of ice.  It seems strange that enough snow has melted over the last few days that we can actually see grass through the ice.  

It's been quiet for a few hours now, but the second round of this storm is due to hit us within the hour.  My prayers are with all those who have to be out in this mess- police officers, rescue workers, and utility workers.  Stay safe!
