Changes & Transition ...


Almost 2 months ago I announced that I was going to be writing at Savings Lifestyle ~ Cincinnati.  If you’ve been reading here long and lately, then you know that since then things have changed here. I’m still blogging and looking for the deals but my focus has turned more to local deals instead of national ones.

So with that I have decided that it’s time for a transition.  This will be my last post here at Saving Bits and Pieces. I am going to put my time and attention into Savings Lifestyle ~ Cincinnati.

The things I post won’t change entirely though.  My weekly menu plans and Jungle Jim’s Deals will be at Savings Lifestyle ~ Cincinnati.  Other things you can expect to see over there are the growing list of Kids Eat Free deals, local events, retail and dining deals and whatever else comes along for the Greater Cincinnati area.  I've always linked over to Savings Lifestyle for the weekly Kroger & Meijer match-ups so finding them there should be familiar to you.

Be sure to "Like" Savings Lifestyle on Facebook.  All of my posts at the Cincy site will be there along with Savings Lifestyle ~ Dayton and of course all of the posts from the main site too! You can subscribe to the Savings Lifestyle ~ Cincinnati email newsletter here.

Since I know many of you live in the Cincinnati area I hope to still hear from you with great deals or events around town. Email me at Cincinnati@savingslifestyle.com

Thank you to everyone who have supported me here over the last year .... it was a year last Friday as a matter of fact.  I've had a great time and learned tons.  And now I'm looking forward to what the next year will bring!

Jungle Jim's Ad Week of December 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 November 29th


I've often heard that it takes 21 days to make something become a habit.  This is my 52 week in a row with a Menu Plan.  I guess it's definitely become a habit, huh?

There are weeks that it takes one look into my freezer and my meal plan is done.  Other weeks I struggle for inspiration & new ideas.  There are weeks that we eat every dinner planned and some weeks that I almost nothing goes as planned. No matter what though I can't imagine a week without a plan. 

If you haven't tried Menu Planning yet, what's stopping you? Trust me ... it will make the age old question of "What's for dinner?" much nicer to answer!

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

Monday - 1/2 Burgers & Kids Eat Free at Champps

Tuesday - Spaghetti & Meatballs

Wednesday - Mini Farfalle Chipotle Chicken Pasta in Fire Roasted Tomato Cream Sauce

Thursday - After Thanksgiving Turkey Soup

Friday - Smoked Sausages with Peppers, Onions & Mushrooms

Saturday - Homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza

Sunday - Cilantro Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa

What are you having for dinner this week?

Jungle Jim's Ad Week of November 22nd


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.

Here are the deals I see this week ....

Happy Birthday Logan!!


Ten years ago today I learned that my heart was big enough for 2 precious boys!  
Where have those 10 years gone?  
Logan you are such a sweet caring boy.  I love your creativity and imagination.  

We're celebrating with wings and apple pie ... the Birthday Boy's requests of course!

Swagbucks: Code for 8

There is a Swagcode worth 8 Swagbucks on the homepage.  Not sure how long it's good for but it's super easy to get!  Watch the scrolling window in the center of the screen. Click on the Lenovo logo.  Then on through to the Lenovo Facebook. That's it .... 8 Swagbucks will be yours!

I have only been posting Swagcode Alerts to the Facebook page lately but I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you what I scored with my Swagbucks.  It's wrapped and on the fireplace for Logan, (my 10 year old birthday boy!!) to open in just a little while.  Since he keeps bouncing back and forth being silly right in front of me I'm not going to type what he's getting.  Click here to see!  He's gonna be sooo excited and of course I was pretty happy to be able to use Swagbucks to pay for it!  Oh and by the way ... we didn't pay nearly the price they are going for today.  I'm shocked to see how much it's gone up in the month & a half since we bought it!!

The rest of my Swagbucks earnings are in my Amazon account to be used for Christmas shopping!

Haven't heard of Swagbucks or just haven't signed up yet?  Get Started here.  Or Learn more here. Just think what you gift your could surprise someone with!!
