Food Lion
Swans Down cake flour - $3.59
FL whipped topping (8 oz) - $0.97
FL peanut butter (18 oz)
RP $2.99. Minus $1.00 coupon (it printed out at the front kiosk). FP - $1.99 (0.11/oz)
Final OOP - $6.68
I was particularly excited to get the peanut butter - I've been "almost" needing peanut butter for two weeks now, and been putting off buying it until I found it for under $0.13/oz. I printed off my FL coupons this morning at the kiosk and there was a $1.00 off Food Lion brand peanut butter, making it just $0.11/oz! Very happy with this.
I probably just bored all ten of my readers to tears.

Meal Plan Monday
Our family has been going through some health issues recently, so two weeks ago we were placed on a dairy-free diet. I can't believe how hard
it has been to cook without using any cheese. I am grateful this is
temporary but for the next few weeks our menus will reflect this dietary
change. If anyone has any yummy dairy-free recipes will you please
share!?
Monday (February 13) - OYO; I have ladies group at church
Tuesday - Tangy Oven-Fried BBQ Chicken, Corn Sticks (recipe forthcoming)
Wednesday - OYO; it's a church night
Thursday - Cinnamon rolls, venison sausage
Friday - Family is coming in town so I'm leaving this open
So what are you eating this week!?

Make Your Own List
Don't forget to keep checking my "Make Your Own" page to see what things I've been making! You could save a lot of money by doing some of these things!
Make Your Own
Homemade laundry detergent!
With just a few ingredients you can easily make your own laundry soap. Who knew it was this simple??
What you'll need:
20-Mule Team Borax
Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar Soap
You’ll also need a bucket that is at least 3 gallons and has a lid and a large pot that will hold at least 10 cups of water.
I found all these items at Harris Teeter. I'm sure you can find them at most grocery stores. The Fels-Naptha soap was $1.69 (it was on the laundry aisle) , the Borax was $5.39 (76 oz; also on the laundry aisle) and the washing soda was $3.49 (55 oz; also on the laundry aisle). I haven't gotten this far yet but from what I understand this will make 128 HE loads (which is the type of washer we have) so it's got to be a pretty massive savings.
Grate half of the bar of Fels-Naptha soap. Add the soap to a pot with 10 cups of water. Heat until the soap dissolves. Thanks Mom, for saving me the trouble of purchasing a stock pot! :)
Add ½ cup of Arm & Hammer Washing Soda.
Add ½ cup of 20 Mule Team Borax.
Stir until dissolved. Pour 1 gallon plus 6 cups (22 cups) of cold water into your bucket. Add the soap mixture. Stir until well mixed. Cover. Let sit for 24 hours.
Use ½ cup per load (¼ cup for HE washers).
This soap smells soooo good you shouldn't need to add any essential oils to it. It smells so clean. I loved making it and kept sniffing at it!
All my information for this came from Hallee.
If you want to be really snazzy you can get a dispenser like this and use that for dispensing it. :)

Frugal Tip - Repair Things
It just goes without saying, if something in your house breaks, and you can repair it instead of replacing it, that is smart because it will save you money.
This is a small example but you'll get my point. My friend Allison has an amazing consignment store here in town. When things come in that are too worn for her to sell, she gives them to me for Fed By Faith. Occasionally something might have a rip or a stain, and she can't sell those items. One such item was this really sweet shirt that just happened to be Brianna's size! I kept looking over it trying to figure out why Allison wouldn't sell it. Then I saw - one button was missing!
Well, we can fix that, right? I popped off all the other buttons except one and got out my button jar. I got a mixture of white, pink and purple buttons and sewed them on in random order down the shirt.
Voila! A new shirt that is unique, just like my beautiful girl. :) I'm glad we were able to give this shirt a second chance!
