Lowes Foods Super Doubles 4/24

Oh how I love super double coupon time! This week you can go to Lowes Foods and they will double any coupon that has a face value of $2 or less. Meaning, if you have a $2 coupon they will double it to $4!

I made my grocery list by using Southern Savers website. I encourage you to go to that website to learn how to coupon so that you can do just as well with your shopping trip. :)

Today I was able to get $88.13 worth of groceries for only $35.01. That is over 50% savings! My goal is to save at least 50% with each coupon visit.

Break down of my purchases:

- Bounty 2 pack paper towels: $3.50 - $1 = $1.50
- Charmin 4 pack Ultra Soft: $3 - $1  = $1
- YoCrunch Yogurt: $2.99 - $1 = $.99 x2
- Trident Gum: $1 - $1 = FREE x2
- Hershey's Bars: $1.19 - $1 = $.19 x4
- DiGiorno Pizza with Breadsticks or Wyngz: $6.99 - $1.50 = $3.99 x3
- Stouffers Large Family sized Ravioli or Lasagna: $9.99 - $1.50 = $6.99 x2
- Cooked Perfect Meatballs: $2.99 - $1 = $.99 x3
- Edys Fruit Bars: $3 - $1 = $1

All of the above deals (minus Bounty, Charmin, DiGiorno and Stouffers) were via Southersavers.com . All coupons used were from the newspaper and none of them were printed. Again, I encourage you to check out the coupon site for daily deals. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions.

Homemade Yogurt Bites for Baby

I have seen homemade yogurt bites all over Pinterest lately and thought I should try it out. The only snack that we give David right now is Puffs. He eats so many of them that I'm surprised he hasn't already turned into a Puff himself! :)

After doing some research, I found that it is recommended that you give babies organic yogurt made with whole milk. I found tubs of Stonyfield yogurt on sale this week at Lowes Foods. They are organic and made with whole milk, french vanilla flavored.

These are so easy to do! Just spoon your yogurt into a sandwich bag, cut a small piece off of the corner and pipe little circles onto a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet! I popped them into the freezer for just 25-30 minutes. After that, just take them off of the parchment paper with your hands and store them however you'd like. I just put them into a freezer bag and placed them back into the freezer.
I hope that David likes them! If not, I can always just eat them myself :)
