Easter Weekend

This is my late post of our Easter weekend. We had a great Easter, spent some time with family and attended Church service. The weather was just perfect too. Enjoy the pics!

Enjoying the nice sunny saturday at lake sammamish

we forgot to bring his water bowl,so we used the mcdonalds box!

We love living here..such a nice community!

I prepared this last week and turned out really yummy. Hubs and I really like meatballs. I usually have it with rice but I know here in the states it’s usually with pasta. This is the inspiration of the dish at For the Love of Cooking.

Savings

My Fred Meyer shopping this week:

Retail price $53,after sales and coupons I paid 34$..

My favorite deal is the cereal, they’re on sale for 2/4, I got it for 3/$5( I used a 1/3 coupon). I think it’s good price because normally this kind of cereal cost around 4.50$ each.

The Organice Juice is Buy 1 Get 1 free,I really like mango juice so I’m excited to try this drink. The Olive oil is pretty good deal too.

I think I did well especially with what I got,organic milk,organic chicken,juice and organic bananas.I'm really getting into buying more local and organic produce, trying to be healthy here!!

Savings!

It’s nice to be back from our little vacation and I only shopped for the basics like milk and bread this week. We ate out a lot this week so Hubby and I are not really planning to cook for the rest of the weekend especially since we’ll eat out again this Sunday to celebrate Easter:) So this is what I got this morning after sales and coupons (I used store coupons) I paid $30.

Be right back!

I’m having a little vacation with Hubby this week, celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary. We are enjoying this view for the meantime:) Hope you guys are enjoying your week too!

Savings!

I had some great savings this week with cereals! I was able to print the 4/4 kellogg’s coupon, and earlier this week Safeway had a cereal sale (BUY 8 promo thing),so from original price of $3.99 and the promo sale plus coupon, I was able to get it at $.99 each! SCORE!!! The Nivea lip balm was free because it was on sale for $.99 and I used the $1 coupon. I was a happy shopper:) The Safeway trip was really quick because I had no plans to buy anything else, I just wanted to use the cereal coupons so that left time to go check out Target! Our Safeway and Target are in the same area so I don’t have to drive again just to go to another store (saves gas!) and I’m so glad that I checked Target out because I got a lot of great deals there too.

SCORE!! 8 cereals and 2 nivea lip product =$8 (original price $38). I saved $30..

Target shopping (Before sale:$40,after sale $22) and I used a gift card so No out of pocket cost for me)

My Walgreens trip, I have RR that will expire today(3/28) so I was forced to use it. We really don't need anything but I decided to use the RR for some things we can use this weekend. After sale and RR I only paid $3!!

Hubby wanted chicken wings for dinner tonight, so I decided to put some more coupons I had to use like my favorite coffee creamer. After sale and coupons I paid $25.

I’m linking up with Wednesday Weekly Shopping.

Summer Time!

I know spring just started but I can’t help but get excited that summer is just around the corner! It was so nice yesterday here in the Pacific Northwest that I decided to grill some burgers. We got the patties from the local meat shop here in Issaquah and to add yumminess to the burger I made caramelized onions and added peppery arugla.
