The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie
Who doesn't like a chocolate chip cookie?? I personally love soft cookies that ooze that chocolate. My husband, however, loves them on the crispy (BURNT) side. What's a girl to do??? Well there is this bad boy that combines the crunch with the ooey gooey of it all. This is one is a bit cake like, so if you don't care for that taste then this is DEFINITELY NOT for you!!
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
5 individual wrapped Reese's, crushed
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2.In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add pudding mix, eggs and vanilla. Combine flour and baking soda; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Fold in chocolate chips.
3.Drop by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes.
Makes 5 dozen

My Sunflower Run 6/20
I bought all the above for less than $20.00. I saved about $20.00 according to Sunflower pricing. In a typical market store, the pricing would have been CRAZY!!!
My Target Run 6/20
There isn't much going on at Target this week. So, I won't be doing the matchups, but feel free to go HERE, Kerry does a GREAT job!!!
I bought all in th pic for $4.24. I was a little bummed since that Target didn't have much that I went there. That little dress saved my trip!! itwas only $3.74!! Not too bad!!

Cheap Entertainment
It's not a big surprise that I HATE paying retail price for ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING!! It's such a thrill to know something is really pricey, but to snag it at a killer price, often times FREE!! This brings me to the topic of cheap entertainment. With 4 kids things can be quite pricey so I am always looking for it on the cheap. Here is a list of how we entertain, but keep it light on the pocketbook!!
**Free Days! The first Saturday of the month Denver Art Museum, Colorado History Museum and a few others have FREE admission. The first Tuesday of the month, The Children's Museum has free day from 4 p.m - 8 p.m.. Also, The Denver Zoo, The Museum of Nature and Science and The Botanical Gardens have free days. Check with your local communities. Many of these attractions offer free or discounted days.
**Movies!! We visit the local "Dollar Theatre." Wait a few weeks to watch your favorite movie, and pay only $2.50 to see it!! If we went to a "normal" theatre it costs at least $50 and that's just for tickets. This way we spend $15.00!!!! Check your local theatres for matinee pricing
**Water park!! Elitches and Water World costs us over $200 for just one day!! NUTS!!!! However there are parks that have their own mini water sprinklers, slides and the such for just $2.00 a person!! Such a better price!! However, if you do love Six Flags, get a few season passes. It saves a BOAT LOAD!!!

New Safeway Coupon Policy
Safeway has put out a new and very detailed coupon policy. While there are some drawbacks (no more b1G1 coupons on b1g1 sales), there are some wonderful new inlusions. Safeway will now take other retailerscatalinas. Can you say Walgreens RR!!!!!
Manufacturer and Store Coupons:
1. Coupons are redeemable only by a customer purchasing the specific brands and product(s) stated on the coupon, with the face value of the coupon deducted from your retail or club card price.
2. Coupons must be for products sold at Safeway and coupons must be presented at the time of the transaction.
3. Coupons are subject to advertised offer limitations and all limitations and restrictions on coupon.
4. Coupons cannot be applied against the free item received in any offer where a customer buys one or more items to get one or more items free.
5. Coupon amount may be reduced so that any combined discounts and coupons do not exceed the value of the item. See number 12 below.
6. Coupons have no cash value.
7. Accepted coupons must be Manufacturer or Safeway store issued coupons.
8. Safeway will accept valid manufacturer coupons that display another retailer’s logo or name.
9. Safeway will accept valid Catalina manufacturer coupons that are issued to a customer by another retailer.
10. The coupon must have an expiration date and be presented within valid dates.
11. Coupons are void if they appear distorted or blurry, are altered in any way or copied.
12. The transaction amount may not fall below zero value, or go negative, meaning we will not give the customer money back.
13. All sales taxes are paid by the customer at the full value of the item.
14. All bottle deposits on the purchased and free items are paid by the customer.
15. Safeway reserves the right to refuse any coupons at its discretion.
Internet Printed Coupons:
16. We gladly accept internet printed coupons. The same manufacturer and store coupon rules above apply to all internet printed coupons.
17. Internet printed coupons must scan at checkout.
18. Internet printed coupons must have serial numbers and follow an industry-standard format.
19. Manufacturer internet printed coupons must clearly indicate that they are a manufacturer coupon and have a valid manufacture address on the printed coupon.
20. We will not accept “free product” internet printed manufacturer coupons.
Load to Card Club Coupons:
21. Internet and digital coupons that have been electronically loaded to a Safeway Club Card are automatically redeemed at the time of purchase after the club card number has been entered. All other coupon policies above apply to electronic coupons that are loaded to a club card.
Doubling of Coupons:
22. Check with your local store regarding ‘double coupon’ advertised promotions where customers will receive double the coupon face value off the regular or club card price up to the advertised limit. Not all locations offer double coupon promotions. Limitations and restrictions for double coupon promotions may change at any time. Changes will be posted in store only.
Coupon Stacking: (Hawaii stores only)
23. Safeway does not allow a customer to redeem two or more manufacturer coupons against the same item in a single transaction.
24. Coupon stacking policies for manufacturer coupons apply to paper and electronic coupons that have been loaded to a club card.
25. If a customer presents two coupons for the same item in a single transaction, Safeway will only accept the first coupon to be applied in the system.

26. Rainchecks expire 90 days from the date issued and are accepted at any Safeway store.
27. We reserve the right to limit Rainchecks quantities based on product availability and advertised limits.
28. Rainchecks can be written for a limit of no more than 3 items unless otherwise stated in the advertisement.
We may change this policy at any time. All coupon redemptions are subject to the policy in effect at time of redemption. Policy changes may not be advertised. The current policy will be posted at the customer service area in each store.
Revision Date: 6/7/2010

My New Baby
I have been wanting to start a new blog with the focus being on couponing and such, but didn't want it being like every other blog. So, I have put a youthful twist on this beauty!! I have brought all the positives of couponing, but will also discuss weight loss, recipes and day to day struggles raising 4 kiddos! I hope you guys will join me and invite others to peak into my world as well.
