Monday's Giant Trip

Monday I also stopped into Giant for some good deals, and a few things for Easter dinner.  I spent a lot out of pocket, but Joe's grandfather gave me a check to help cover the cost of the meat/coffee/etc that I'll need for the family dinner this Saturday.  Here's what I ended up with...

1 box Maxwell House Coffee K-cups $7.49 - $1/1 MC = $6.49

1 Talenti Gelato $4.99 - $1 Sale - $1/1 MC = $2.99

1 pouch Hormel Bacon Bits $4.29 - $0.30 Sale = $3.99

8 bags Friskies Party Mix Cat Treats $1.65 ea - $0.15 ea Sale - $1/2 MC x 4 = $1 ea or 8/$8

Frugal Finds Friday: Homemade Foaming Dish Soap

Since I am the only 'dishwasher' we have, I use dish soap at least three times a day.  That can be expensive, even with coupons.  I have been making my own foaming hand soap for sometime, so I decided to give dish soap a try.  I had my mom save one of her foaming dish soap pumps for me awhile ago.  I just put a squirt (about 1 tbsp) of soap in the bottom (right now I'm using up all the Dawn I have), and fill the container up to the fill-line with water.  Gently shake/swish to combine, and start pumping!  Now that I am buying natural dish soap varieties (like 7th Generation and Method), this really saves money!
