Grilled Banana Splits

Family Balance Sheet

I'm taking a summer classic up a notch. When I was grilling pineapple last week, my head was buzzing with all sorts of ideas for the grilled fruit. Why not grill bananas too and make homemade, grilled banana splits? My husband and I LOVE banana splits, but they are usually the most expensive item on the menu at our local ice cream shop. So we made them at home, but I grilled the bananas and the pineapple.

Combining Buy One Get One Free Coupons with Cents Off Coupons @ CVS: No longer permitted

Simply CVS

There have been rumors off and on for weeks of CVS changing this policy and apparently as of this month, July 2011, you can no longer use a cents off coupon with a buy one get one free coupon as in the past. A couple of readers have reported seeing this on other sites and today I found Didie, at We Use Coupons, reporting calling customer service twice and asking about this.

Calling All Gardeners: What's Eating Our Tomatoes?

Family Balance Sheet

I spent a lot of time this past spring shoveling out the old clay dirt that was in my garden and replacing it with the mix that is recommended in the book, Square Foot Gardening. It was hard work and there was an initial expense, but I knew I wouldn't have to deal with the weeds any more and I knew my plants would love it. I picked my first red tomato recently and I could immediately see the fruits of my labor.

It’s About Spending Less, Not Saving More

Couponing 101

One thing new couponers are eager to learn is how to save more money. While it is important to learn how to save, I think the more important thing to learn is how to spend less. It may seem like the same thing, but let me give you an example. The Jones family wants to learn how to save more. They are a family of four and have a grocery budget of $60 per week, they cook 2-3 dinners from scratch each week and eat out once or twice a week.
