Starbucks: Half Price Frappucinos (May 7-16)
Visit participating Starbucks from 3-5pm. May 7-16, and you can get half priced Frappucino blended beverages. This sounds like a yummy treat. I think I'll be making sure to take advantage of this offer at least once during that week!As always, you might want to call your local store to make sure they are participating. I'd hate for you to get there only to find out that you have to pay full price.
Thanks Cha-Ching on a Shoestring!

Monthly Spending Summary (April)
Monthly Grocery/Household Budget: $190
Total Spent: $187.86
Week 1: $16.58
Week 2: $114.59
Week 3: $23.43
Week 4: $29.53
Misc. Expenses I missed recording: $3.73
Credits: $56.97
- this was all from rebates
Ending Balance: $130.89 (or $59.11 extra)
Balance Carried from Jan./Feb./March: $178.09
Well, here I thought I was over budget for the month but I must have just miscalculated! Just to be sure I double checked my math several times, but I always came up with the same amount, so I was happy that I was actually under budget by a couple of dollars even before my rebate credits.
I now have $237 of overage that I can put towards fruit and vegetables to can and freeze. I am thinking that should nearly cover the cost of the produce and fruit that I buy to preserve, but am not totally sure. So I guess I'll just keep saving away for a couple of months yet- if I can!

Tasty Tuesday: Crunchy Thyme Potatoes
This simple and fast dish is one that we absolutely love, especially with meat loaf. Reminiscent of home fries, I think Crunchy Thyme Potatoes are even yummier. I got the basic recipe from a church cookbook I have and then combined several other recipes and my own ideas to create this recipe. I think you'll enjoy it!
Crunchy Thyme Potatoes
4 large baking potatoes
1/3 c. butter
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 to 1 tsp. salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
Melt butter in a jelly roll pan in a 375 degree oven.
Add a single layer of potatoes cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices; turn once in butter.
Mix remaining ingredients and sprinkle over top of potatoes.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until done.
* For variation you can also sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or shredded cheese. This is a very versatile recipe and I have tried different combinations of seasonings and we have enjoyed many variations. In fact, I know of someone who did this with zucchini!
