Amazon - Subscribe & Save

A few weeks ago I blogged my Starbucks Hack: Chai Tea Latte post. I talked about getting my chai tea concentrate through Amazon Subscribe & Save. Amazon Subscribe and Save. - a regularly scheduled delivery service provided free of charge to Amazon members. As incentive to set up deliveries and subscriptions, Subscribe and Save users earn 5% off of their delivery haul each month. For deliveries of 5 or more items, that means extra savings - 15% off your haul. Do you have a baby at home - that means 20% off of diaper subscriptions.

Happy (Belated) New Year!

2017: The Year of the Budget

Happy New Year! Better late than never - and in the grand scheme, it's not that late. Week 1 of 2017 isn't even over yet! Looking forward to an exciting and frugal 2017 with my hubby.

Hello, December!

December to me means fuzzy boots (sing along with me...apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur, the whole club was lookin at her...), peppermint everything especially mochas, twinkling lights (and makeup), and SNOW. Where is the snow?! It was 52° in Denville this morning. Nothing like getting out of bed on a December morning covered in sweat. I don't even need snow, I'm not that high maintenance...maybe just some seasonal temperatures? Lower temperatures will definitely be more comfortable for all of the running around we have to do this month...

Kale Mashed Potatoes

Ross and I love shopping at Costco for the overall savings, especially for produce. Per pound, everyday items like bananas, potatoes and greens are a great value. The savings are only worth it if you 1. have the storage space for 15 lbs of potatoes or 5 lbs of spinach, 2. can finish the larger than life packages before they spoil, and 3. can come up with enough inventive ways to use these ingredients without getting sick of them. As a family of two, the bulk sizes at Costco can become an issue. We accept the challenge and it has forced our creativity in the kitchen, hence recipes like my 20 Calorie Spinach Coleslaw and Taco Roasted Tomatoes.
