Menu Plan Monday - 4/13/09

We did pretty good on our menu plan last week. We still didn't eat the manicotti so it will remain on the menu this week. We're also using up some of Easter leftovers to make dinner two nights this week. We've got another really busy week planned so our menu will be simple. I've got some new recipes that I will be trying out next week.

Here's my menu plan:

Breakfast Options:
Waffles
Pancakes
Omelet/Scrambled Eggs, toast
Cereal
Fruit Salad

Lunch Options:
Soup/Grilled Cheese
Pizza Rolls
Bagel Bites
Corn Dogs, Salad
Salad, Fruit
Homemade bean burrito

Dinner (no options - you get what's cooked):
1. Beef Stroganoff (made with Easter leftovers)

2. Ham and Bean soup (made with Easter leftovers)
3. Pulled Pork, mashed potatoes, corn (maybe asparagus)
4. Cheeseburgers and/or Smoked Turkey Sausage, Chips, Fruit
5. Easy Baked Manicotti

Redbox Code for 4/13/09

Rent a free movie from your local Redbox kiosk using code: J89LA2. This code is good for today only. Using the code is very easy. We've been renting them for a couple weeks now...the kids love it. We also used a few of the free codes found at Inside Redbox.

Here are the steps to follow:

1. On the first screen, select “Rent with Promo”.
2. You will be prompted to enter the code; enter the code.
3. Choose your movie.
4. Swipe your credit card (or debit card).
1. This is just in case you do not return the movie on time (by 9pm the next day). You will be charged $1 per day up to $25, if the movie isn’t returned.
5. You will be prompted to enter your zip code and email address.

You can use the code multiple times; however, you need to use a different debit or credit card.

Returning the movie is even easier. You can return the movie to any Redbox. It doesn’t have to be the one you rented it from.

Here are the steps to return a movie:

1. On the first screen, select “Return a Movie”.
2. When prompted, slide the movie in the slot.

That’s it!

Happy Easter!

I will be taking a break from blogging this week to spend time with my family. I'll see you back here on Monday!

No Coupon Inserts for 4/12/09

Just a reminder that there will not be any coupons in the Sunday, April 12, 2009 newspaper due to the Easter holiday. However, you can purchase coupons that you need at The Coupon Clippers.

My Shopping Trip - Week of 4/5/09

This week I headed out to pick up a few things that we were needing. We really needed eggs and bread. We got an extra dozen eggs to color on Saturday afternoon then turn them into egg salad on Monday.

Meijer
I had the kids with me so there were a few items that I wouldn't have picked up without them - lunchables and Dippin' Dots. I picked up a Lean Cuisine to have at my mother's house on Easter - along with a few veggies she is having. She's having a lot of items that I mentioned I would be avoiding.
