Mommysavers Newsletter -- January 5, 2004 Visit our site for more great resources: http://www.mommysavers.com "An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy." -- Spanish Proverb ============================================================== Hello! I hit the Target 75% off sale last Friday and had SO much fun. Not only did I scoop up some Christmas items for next year, I got some Barbie stuff for birthday gifts for next year at 75% off. Sydney and I even made a gingerbread house (a little late, yes, but we had fun!) from a kit which I got for only $2.49! I hope those of you who have been searching for post-holiday bargains are having good luck as well. Visit our site on a daily basis for new bargain updates (we had a good one for $1.99 sweatpants at Old Navy on Friday). My new years' resolution is to add new things to the site every day! Have a good week, Kim Danger ------------------------------ Please Visit Our Sponsors: They help make this a FREE resource for you!

Each month, each couple buys a new-release DVD for around $20. Then we swap DVDs with the other three couples in our group. We get to watch 4 new release DVDs and have one to keep for ourselves for the same price as renting them. We recently joined a DVD Club which saves us even more. -- Candace from PA *Editor's Note: Join the Columbia House DVD Club this month and get 5 DVDs for $0.49 shipped for free. Click here for more information: http://www.mommysavers.com/deals/dvd_club.htm Mealtime My husband came up with the best idea for keeping food stains off of our 3 boys shirts. He attached an alligator clip on either end of a small chain and we use the chains as a napkin/bib holder. We secure an extra large paper napkin around the boys necks (ages 8, 10, and 12)at meal times and they are so convenient at home and in restaurants. It works just like a dental bib. -- Cathy, 37, from TX Gift Giving Here's my game plan for almost all of my gift giving. I start right after Christmas by buying clearance items. I keep doing this all year long as well. Kmart and WalMart both have clearance racks set out near the checkouts and at other places in their stores. I buy off of these all year and put them into a huge tote in my basement. When I need a gift there's usually something in there appropriate for the occasion. -Heather M., Lewiston, MI We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

It's that simple! Add a cheese quesadilla and dinner is served. Easily serves 4. Sprinkle cheese on top if desired. Can be easily doubled or tripled for a crowd. Drain leftovers, wrap in a tortilla with some cheese and microwave for a quick lunch the next day! -- Laura, 31, from MO We need YOUR recipes for our newsletter! Submit them here: http://www.mommysavers.com/share_tips.htm ----------------------------- Real Moms: In the Kitchen My favorite kitchen hint is to put hamburger meat into a gallon size ziplock freezer bag and squash it flat and stack them in your freezer. It takes up much less space, doesn't roll out of the freezer on you and thaws in no time at all! -- Rebecca, 37, from KY My family's favorite dinner is chili beans and corn casserole. The chili beans consist of 1lb hamburger meat, 2 cans ranch style beans, and 2 cans stewed tomatos. brown meat, drain, pour in cans of beans and tomatos, 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, 8oz sour cream. mix together, preheat oven to 375. pour in a greased 9x 13 pan, and bake for 45 min. It's wonderful. -- Sara, 23, from OK Always fix enough for your husband to take something nutritous the next day in his lunch. It saves on lunch money, and is healthier for him than purchased food. -- Laurie, 39, from WV These great hints came from our Real Mom Profiles. Keep 'em coming!
