Groupon: $10 for $20 Worth of Produce at Pipkins

I've heard good things about Pipkins Fruit and Vegetable Market in Cincinnati but I've never been there.  Now's my chance .... and your chance too of course .... to make a trip there to check it out.  Pay just $10 for a $20 Groupon to use to purchase fresh produce or flowers now or pumpkins or apple cider very soon.  I don't have much but produce on my grocery list so Pipkins may be the only place I shop this week.  I love the idea of buying from local farmers!

Jungle Jim's Ad Week of September 6th


If you're local I hope you've been to ... or at least heard of ... Jungle Jim's.  If you're not local, then put Jungle Jim's on a must visit list if you are ever in the Greater Cincinnati Area.  As the logo says Jungle Jim's is an International Market. It's also a one of a kind store like none other!  Jungle Jim's started many years ago as a produce stand and it has grown many times over the years.

Jungle Jim's does not double coupons and they do not accept printable coupons.  Even still there can be some great deals to be had and they have the best produce around.  Be sure to check the many "reduced" areas around the store including the reduced produce area which is where I do most of my fresh produce shopping.  I watch for reduced meats on every trip too!  Jungle Jim's sales run from Monday to Sunday.

Menu Plan Monday September 6th


I tried some new recipes last week and all were a big hit!  The Shredded Pork on Monday was wonderful!  The only problem was there wasn't enough leftovers for another meal for all of us as planned.  (I used a 3 lb pork loin not a 5 lb as the recipe says.) I was unsure about making Lasagna in the crock pot.  I'm a believer now!  And the Orange Chicken .... YUM!!   I added carrots and zucchini for the last hour.  My only complaint with both crock pot meals is that they weren't the dump all the ingredients in and go kind of crock pot meals I love.  I'll remedy that though by having ground beef and chicken cooked and in the freezer when I plan these meals again.

I. Love. Freezer. Cooking!

Here's what's for dinner this week...

Monday - Homemade Pizza - Didn't have on Saturday

Tuesday - Slow Cooker Chicken & Dumplings, Carrots ~ My boys have been asking for this!

Wednesday - Saucy Pork Chops, Broccoli, Mashed Potatoes

Thursday - Grilled Cheddarwurst, Veggies & Homemade French Fries

Friday - Shredded Chicken Tacos

Saturday - Dinner Out ~ Hmmmm....What sounds good??  I'll have to check out some restaurant deals.

Sunday - Breakfast for Dinner - Waffles, Scrambled Eggs & Fruit

What are you having for dinner this week?

Be Quick! Ziploc Fall Meals Gift Pack

The first 10,000 people to submit a request will receive this awesome Ziploc Fall Meals Gift Pack.  It will include the Ziploc Vacuum Freezer Starter Kit, 15ct box of Ziploc Gallon Size Freezer Bags and one set of large rectangle Ziploc containers. 

I have the Ziploc Vacuum Freezer system and I. Love. It!!  I use it to freeze all kinds of things.  I stock up on the bags when I can get them close to free with coupons and catalina offers.  The best part is the vacuum pump is so small and takes up no space.
