Mommysavers Newsletter -- December 29, 2003 Visit our site for more great resources: http://www.mommysavers.com "Every mother is like Moses. She does not enter the promised land. She prepares the world she will not see." ~ Pope Paul VI ============================================================== Hello! I hope you all had a good holiday week. Ours was especially great because our entire extended family was around to celebrate with us. It was so much fun to see Sydney open up her gifts this year! We also celebrated Nicholas' baptism this past weekend. He cried throughout the service, but it was pretty funny. Even our pastor was laughing. Let the sales begin! In the coming weeks, we will try to let you know about all the great deals and online sales. We found some GREAT ones on kitchen items this week. Save up to 90% on platters, cookware, and Tupperware.

I use them for gift bags the next year. You usually get about 10 in a package for about a dollar. I find these at Lowe's the day after Christmas for 75% off. (The only negative-the punch-outs are a little messy!) I also buy boxed candy (Russell Stover type) and save it to send to relatives at Valentine's Day as well as stock up on red candles for V-Day gifts or a romantic dinner at home. Also, I usually find nice jars of nuts that might have a Christmas ribbon. I replace the ribbon and give them as birthday gifts (uncles, brother in law) whose birthdays fall in the first few months of the new year. Also store some in freezer bags and freeze for recipes. And how cheap is this?? Hit Dollar Tree the day after Christmas for 50 cent bargains! I got plaid aprons, ribbon, pencils and small toys for stocking stuffers, small village trees, candles, kids' gift wrap and more. -- Allison M. Time is money. Before I go shopping, I call in advance to see what percentage the store has marked down their xmas merchandise. This is especially helpful at Target since they mark things down very quickly, and often have quite a large stock. I purchase items I can use all year: plain wrapping paper, bows, bags, xmas pattern tissues and paper towels (who cares about the pattern?), toys, etc. -- Delinda in Aurora, CO Beauty For an inexpensive eye make up remover I use my son's baby shampoo. It's tear-free and we already have a bunch of it for my son anyhow. I just put a very small amount on a washcloth before I go to bed at night and it even removes waterproof mascara and eyeliner. -- Heather, 25, from NY Cleaning I found the best way to clean that dirty tub. It's better than plain bleach, or even the expensive "As seen on T.V." cleaners. And you probably already have it at home. It is Cascade dishwasher detergent. Use the liquid form, by putting a little on the trouble areas, then rub. Works great on counter tops too! -- Cari, 28, from TX We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

Kids love them, and they're quick and easy! -- Kathy, 30, from KY ----------------------------- Real Moms: In the Kitchen My family's favorite dinner is chili beans and corn casserole. The chili beans consist of 1 lb hamburger meat, 2 cans ranch style beans, and 2 cans stewed tomatoes. Brown meat, drain, pour in cans of beans and tomatoes, and bring to a boil. I also add a little shredded cheese. The corn casserole consists of 1 can cream style corn, 1 can whole kernel corn, 1 box jiffy corn muffin mix, 1 stick melted butter, 2 eggs, 8 oz sour cream. mix together, preheat oven to 375. pour in a greased 9 x 13 pan, and bake for 45 min. It's wonderful. -- Sara, 23, from OK Go through your fridge and pantry once a month and take a mental inventory of what you have and throw out the stuff you never use or is expired. It helps keep your kitchen clean and meals flowing easier...which helps on the money saving too. -- Nadine, 27, from NY Whenever I make a casserole, I try to make 2 and freeze one. -- Lisa, 41, from IL These great hints came from our Real Mom Profiles.
