Product Comment

Feeling like a little snack already? I know I am, but I'm always ready to snack (that is why I am a WW). :) Anyway....

Melba Snacks Thank you for making such a great tasting and healthy snack. I love Melba snacks. They fit really well into my calorie budget for the day. I love how they are so crisp and there are soooo many varieties. Sometimes I tend to get board with my snacking and there are so many different flavors and types of Melba snacks that I can go onto the next. Thank you!! I really look forward to enjoying Melba Snacks for a long-time. Thanks!! Cheryl

Good luck! Please let me know if you have any other ideas or suggesitons.

Thanks!

Product Comment

How 'bout a little breakfast on-the-go......

Jimmy Dean  Thank you for making such a great product. My family and I really enjoy the Jimmy Dean D-Lighs Bowls. I really like that I can add them into my day within my Weight Watcher points for the day AND I don't feel guilty letting my kids eat them too. They are so great for a quick breakfast, or even dinner, when we are in a crunch. Thank you!! We look forward to enjoying Jimmy Dean for a longtime. Thanks! Cheryl

Good luck! 

Thanks!

Product Comments

For those of you that have been following product comments, I am going to change it up a little. I am having a really hard time coming up with three products that are from different companies, but are within our theme for the day, that we have not e-mailed already or e-mailed within the past month or so, so I think I am going to downsize it a little that way I don't feel so overwhelmed and will be able to do it EVERYDAY!! I have been a bit of a slacker lately when it comes to product comments as I find it very hard to do it quickly. So, I am hoping I can get my butt in gear and start cranking them out.

Give me a little bit and I will get one posted yet today.

I do have quite a bit of work to do, so I am going to go work a little bit and then I will be back with a product comment.....K?

Thanks!

Recipe=Aloha Chicken

Here is another one of our recipes....

Aloha Chicken

2 cups of Minute rice uncooked
(1) 16 ounce can of tidbits pineapple with juice
(1) 14.5 ounce can of chicken broth
1/2 cup choped green pepper (I omit this)
1/2 cup Shake N Bake original chicken seasoned coating mix
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips or tenders

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400. Mix rice, pineapple, broth, and green peppers in 13X9 inch baking dish. Measure 1/2 cup coating into plastic bag, coat chicken, and place on top of rice mixture. Bake 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

I have not doubled check the point value on this. The recipe that I have states that it is 6 points and makes 4 servings.

** I got this years ago on the WW community boards.
** We also use bulgur instead of rice too. We also like to have pinto beans on the side for an additional 1 point. This makes a pretty big serving and it is very yummy.

Okay, happy cooking! :)

Thanks!

Thanks!

Albertsons

Okay, so I didn't do as good today as I wanted to, but I do have a very very good excuse that I will share with you all in a minute. I do want to share that they have their Gillett Men's Shampoo on clearance, back in their clearance section 10 for $10. They also had a bunch of pads (I think they were Always Pads) and stuff. I cannot remember the price on the pads as I was getting ready to check, but was not able to do that......

Anyway, I should have walked out of there paying nothing, plus a little tax, but I didn't

I got....
(2) Gillette Men's Shampoo for $1 each=$2
(2) Scotch Brite pads $1.59 each=$3.18

I used
(2) $1/1 Gillette Shampoo from recent P&G insert
(2) $1/1 Scotch Brite coupons from here.

I saved $13.98 and spent $1.63.

Now, what I should have done was doubled my Scotch Brite coupons to get my sponges for free, but I didn't. I still had a savings of 92%! :)

Well, onto my adventure...... As I was getting ready to go back and check out the clearance pads at Albertsons. I was getting my cart adjusted to sit off to the side with my assistant (Blakey) inside of it. I always try to push it off to the side when I am back there because it is such a confined area and I always feel like I am in the way. Anyway, as we are getting ready, a man dressed in nicer clothes comes running past me and runs into the back, and a worker that is normally there when I shop there comes out with this strange look on his face. Well, as I see this man run past the doors, I notice that he has a gun and is reaching for it. Yep, you read me right! A GUN!!! I stood there is disbelief and said to the worker, as I hear shouting from behind the door, "What is going on?" He says, "I don't know." I say, "yeah you do, what is going on?" He says again, "really I don't know, but maybe we should leave this area?" Yeah, that is a GREAT idea. As I am walking up to the front, about ready to cry, as I have never been close to any kind of situation like this. I go up and put my stuff on the counter, just shaking a mile a minute, and I see them walk her out the front doors and she is in handcuffs. I didn't even bother doubling! Anyway one of the girls says that she was with a man that they were pulling over and when they pulled him over she took off into the store, I guess trying to get away or something. I kid you not, when I walked out of the store there were like 8 or 9 cop cars there! So, then the other crazy thing, as I start thinking about it, is that when she came in the store, SHE WALKED RIGHT PAST ME!! She caught my eye because she was walking rather quickly. I just thank God that nothing bad happened, at least for the other shoppers and us. I just keep thinking about all the "what ifs." Yes, I tend to over analyze, but I never experienced something like that before and to actually see a police officer reach for his gun. Okay, THAT WAS PRETTY CRAZY!!

Anyway, that is my story....

Thanks!

Safeway

Last night I was in Safeway and discovered that they have Quaker Oatmeal $1.50 for each one when you buy five, but they also have $1 peelie coupons on them. So, you buy five and spend $0.50 for each one. I think this sale lasts until Tuesday.

Thanks!
