Share the wealth!!

What a typical cold, rainy day. The only thing that I accomplished today was to go through all of my coupons and just hit the road and shop. We went to Meijer's and saved about $8 in coupons, but it did not compare to the hundreds that which the Sharpen Your Scissor Lady saves. I went to a seminar she had in Farmington, at our district technology expo. She is wonderful and has great ways to save on groceries. She even has a class, where you can learn how to get organized and be able to save like she does. Check her out, I don't think you will be disappointed.

*did you know that Meijer's has coupons on their web-site that you can use along with a manufacture coupon? Check the site out at Meijer's and look for specials in the box on the right.

Favorite Fall activities

I love when the peaches are in season in Michigan!! This post is a little late~ I bought this half bushel of peaches from our local farmers market about two weeks ago and made about seven pints of wonderful peach jam. The peaches were freestone and very sweet and juicy. If you purchase them make sure not to wait too long or you will have peaches that are too ripe. The aroma of peaches in the kitchen was absolutely awakening for me. It brought back the days of when the boys were young and I canned peaches, pears, applesauce, and tomato sauce. I did not have the luck of so much time, which I seemed to have back then. It's a good thing I made the jam when I did, since school and work are consuming me again. When I get my masters, I swear, I won't take on too many extras. I will come back to the times when I did much of my own canning and freezing, taking advantage of all the great things we can grow in our yard or purchase from a local farmer.
