Tide Ultra Stain Release Review

how will it preform? 

My Tide Ultra Stain Release came!

I received a 37 ounce bottle in the Original scent.  To me it smells clean and maybe a little like blue flowers, not overpowering, just nice.  The detergent is HE safe and this bottle promises to wash 19 loads of laundry!

I tried it out on my yard work clothes...  it seems to work great!  I have a lot of old set in stains on my work jeans but anything new came right out!

This scent made my hubby happy, he loves this sort of product.  I prefer a more natural scented detergent, so this will be his!  Cant wait to see how it preforms on his smelly exercise clothes :)

I rate this product with a thumbs-up!  It gets new dirt and stains out wonderfully!

Safeway Bargains

Use that Just 4 U program on the Safeway site...  it is fantastic if you are trying to cut your grocery budget.  Supplementing with free, and nearly free, food this month has allowed us to save SO MUCH toward our goal.  I plan to keep this up as much as possible all summer!

$3.50

This bunch was $3.50, the ice-cream was a splurge of course, my family loves treats and at just over a dollar i could justify it!  I actually used one 'real' paper coupon here, making the hot dogs free...  not something i would normally buy, but will make fun summer lunches for the kiddos.

$1.97

This group contains a few free coupons so i only paid for the bread and cereal.  $1.97 total!

$2.67

More cheap bread, and these flavorless eggs will only be used for baking (my hens are not laying enough for all our needs right now) and this trip cost me $2.67!

I have saved SO much this month it is unbelievable.  While I did sacrifice quality on a lot of my shopping trips I do supplement with a lot of home-grown organic greens and as much 'health food' as possible, pantry is stocked with organic oats, brown rice, etc!

$2 pizza and Commissary clearance

and i only went in for garlic...

Fresh garlic was on my list...  an opportunity to visit our Commissary and see what i can find!

No Spend update & HUGE mid-month savings!

my favorite, early morning quiet spot. 

Half way through this no-spend month...  i did end up spending a tiny bit more..  mainly on that darn produce, boy we eat a LOT of it!

No-Spend update: $189 spent

Our Pantry Challange is going great!  Surprised?   Yes, I have spent $189 so far on groceries and we are only on DAY 9!!!   If this continues we will be....  actually, way ahead of the game!

My pantry challange is more relaxed than it used to be, my kids eat SO. MUCH. MORE. and feeding our pets is not something that can wait, and I buy them quality food which is not super cheap...

PLUS, a few pricy things we cannot 'live' without, such a coconut oil and stevia somehow ALL ran out at the same time this week!  Of course they did!  Chickens eat a LOT of food too...  little stinkers!

So, where did i spend all this money?  Heres where....

35,000 prizes from Dominoes!

Those are the kind of odds i like!  Simply sign up  HERE to get the notice that the giveaway has begun!  I have done this in the past and was super slow to respond, but this time I aim to be quicker, wanna get those kiddos some free pizza!  ;)

Freezer Chicken Tikka Masala

I am supposed to be doing the Pantry Challange but when i see chicken breast marked down to $1.04lb i buy 10lbs!  because that deal is too darn good to pass up.
