Groceries and Coupons

I've been noticing over the past few months that I found fewer and fewer coupons that I can use. I attribute this to a couple of things:


  • With the exception of just a couple of grocery trips, I've been doing the bulk of our grocery shopping at Aldi, which doesn't accept coupons.
  • Because I've been trying to cook more and in bulk, I've been buying more ingredients and fewer prepackaged foods.


Coupons still come in handy for things like makeup, hair coloring and baby products, so I still look through the fliers every Sunday when I get my paper. However, most weeks, I don't find anything at all to clip. The good news is, though, that we're paying less for groceries anyway. I am a big fan of Aldi.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
