I was on the NEWS!

Yes, you read that right.  I.....was on.....THE......NEWS!  Exciting right?  I KNOW!

If you live within 60 miles of me, or are one of my close friends you already know this.

For those of you that missed it here is the deal......

I friends Sarah {also known as Money Saving Queen} was a busy, BUSY lady a few weeks ago during Black Friday....or Thursday as it turned out.  She asked her readers to send in their BF deals so she could feature them on the news!  Well, I had an AMAZING deal so I was ALL over that!

What was my deal, you ask?

It was this BEAUTIFUL necklace from The Vintage Pearl (TVP).


I absolutly LOVE it!

I only paid $4 for it!!

Now, let me explain how I got this deal.

As I mentioned Monday, it is all about working the deal!  TVP has put a few gift certificate deals on Groupon, this is where I started.  Back in August (I think) TVP teamed up with Groupon and put an AMAZING deal up!  For just $15 you could purchase a $30 gift certificate!  That's AWESOME!

Ok, I know I said I only paid $4 and that just doesn't make since, especially when I said I purchased a $15 Groupon.  Well, here is how it went down!

When your friends sign up with Groupon you get a $10 credit!  I had enough credit to purchase the TVP certificate for.....FREE!

I knew TVP would have some specials coming up so I sat and waited and waited and waited.  Then BAM!  They announced they would be open on Black Friday and if you were able to get there before a certain time you got so much off  your total.

AWESOME!

I was able to get there before the deal ended.  HOWEVER, I was not able to get the full BF special because I was using a Groupon.  STINK!  I was a little bummed but got over it because I really love TVP and I really love this necklace.  The girl that checked me out still offered a 10% discount though, I gladly accepted.

So there you have it!  That is how I was able to snag my beautiful $38 TVP necklace for just $4!  AWESOME!

Oh, and you can find the video of the news segment here.

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet!   Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up.  I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this.  FREE is ALWAYS good!   I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail.  I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results.  I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it.  You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal}   12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Fr...

Today I am posting at Mom It Forward!

Hey guys!  I have some EXCITING news!  Today I am posting over at Mom It Forward ! I have shared my Fiesta Chicken Tacos recipe, it is SO good!  Go check it out!  While you are there, check out all of my other posts I have shared there. The Fiesta Chicken Taco mix is GREAT on nachos as well!  I also made a quesadilla with some of the mix last night and it was AMAZING!  This is also a very frugal meal, the total cost for me was $2.67! Here is the breakdown: Leftover Chicken - Free Black Beans - $0.50 for 1 can Frozen Corn - $0.17 (it was on sale and I used coupons, it was $0.33/bag and I used half a bag) Tomatoes and Green Chilies - FREE (again, on sale and I had a coupon) Tortillas - $2 Total- $2.67!  Now, if you had to buy all of that at regular price it still equals out to a very frugal meal. Enjoy!
