Last Chance To Vote--Boy or Girl??

Tomorrow is my ultrasound, so this is your last chance to register your vote! Will I be using the pink clothes for the fifth time or shopping for blue? Right now the votes are pretty even. I'll let you all know by Thursday what the results are (assuming baby will cooperate)! The poll is located on my blog, underneath our family picture. You should just be able to click to vote. It'll only take a second!

Just to let you know, my friend with the four girls who is also having her fifth baby in May didn't want to tell me the gender of her baby until I found out mine, but I couldn't stand it any longer so I MADE her tell me! It was so cute, she said, "We're REALLY good at one thing. . ." They are having girl #5! :-)

HOT Kraft Cheese Deal Through Saturday

If your family uses cheese at all, today and tomorrow are the days to stock up! I mentioned in my weekly shopping post about the Kraft catalina deal that started today (buy 5 Kraft products in one transaction, get a $5 OYNO catalina). It is such a good deal for cheese that I had to go!

I asked at the service desk if they had any more in-ad coupons for the $1/3 Kraft cheese. "If you have enough, I'd like 4 of the coupons, if I can," I asked. She came out with a huge stack of the ads and handed 4 over, no problem. I went back and grabbed 12 packs of 8 oz Kraft cheese, on sale 3/$4.98, (don't worry, there were plenty to choose from!) and did 2 transactions of 6 cheese each so I could roll the catalina. After 2 of the $1/3 coupons, the first transaction was $7.91 ($0.05 off for bringing my own bag) and I got a $5 catalina. The second transaction, after the 2 $1/3 coupons, was $2.96 because I used the previous $5 catalina, plus I got another $5 catalina to use next time.

So overall, my total was $10.87 for 12 packs of shredded cheese, plus I have a $5 OYNO catalina to use on next week's groceries! After the coupons and catalinas, it's like I paid $0.49 per 8 oz pack of cheese! That is a smokin' hot deal for cheese! Remember, cheese freezes well, so stock up on cheese for lasagna or other meals your family likes. The catalina deal lasts until 1/24, but this deal is the best through 1/2 because the cheese is on sale and because of the in-ad coupon that are only good through Saturday.
