Shirley J {Review & Giveaway}

Have you tried Shirley J yet!?  If not you are missing out!  I recently purchased the Master 30 Meals starter kit and have been cooking through 30 of Shirley J's fabulous meals.  Our favorite meal so far is probably the BBQ Chicken Pizza. 

You can check out the meals and photos here.  I love that you get rewards for completing the meals!  It gives me double motivation to cook something yummy every night.

A little bit about Shirley J products:

"Shirley J products can unlock your creativity so you can prepare delicious dinners your family will love-in minutes, not hours. Gourmet dishes every bit as good as your favorite restaurant. And budget-friendly meals using leftovers.

At the heart of Shirley J is our Universal Sauce, the basis for everything from creamy soups and sauces to smooth gravies, family-pleasing casseroles and literally hundreds of recipes. All foolproof so you’re free to have fun in the kitchen again.

In fact, all you do is add water to our miracle Universal Sauce, stir and heat and you have a savory, velvety-smooth sauce or soup that won’t separate or curdle even if simmered for hours. No more lumpy gravy, thanks to Shirley J!
A culinary revolution in everyday cooking
After 30 years, the products that have been proven in the most demanding commercial kitchens are now available for every home chef in America. Shirley J revolutionized the commercial industry, and now it can transform your kitchen, too! Every product incorporates a no-fail, “just add water” formula to ensure simplicity and perfection. The finished product refrigerates, freezes and reheats beautifully, cutting down on waste and making each meal as delicious as the first."


I love that it is SO EASY TO use their mixes and seasonings!  If you are looking for a way to help your family eat healthier and try new things I recommend the Master 30 Meals kit 100%!  I have LOVED it!

Oransi Ionic Refrigerator Air Purifier {Review & Giveaway}- CLOSED

 

Winner: Comment #30 Brooke

 

"The new refrigerator air purifier from Oransi is silent, lightweight and small (4” x 2.8” x 2.5” and weighs 0.2 lbs) – yet removes big kitchen odors caused by bacteria in the fridge. While highly effective, the affordable Oransi Ionic Air Purifier also saves money three ways – it is a filterless air purifier so there are no expensive replacement filters to buy, it uses 2 AA batteries every 90 days thereby costing only $1 per month to operate, and it keeps food fresher by reducing spoilage and waste."

Oransi’s refrigerator air purifier also saves you money by:

• "Reducing food spoilage and waste. It not only removes odors from the refrigerator, it also removes the bacteria that cause odor and food decay – thereby keeping food and produce fresher for extended periods of time."
• It doesn't use filters!  (yeah! no filters to replace!)
• It runs on only two AA batteries for up to three months!

My thoughts:  I love how small it is!  I couldn't believe it when I got it.  I thought it would have to be a lot bigger!  It fits anywhere in my fridge!  I also love that it is so easy to use.  I just turn it on and that is it!  I can tell my refrigerator smells better even when I have garlic whatever in my fridge  :).  It is also quiet- I don't even know it is there.  Overall a great product.

The Oransi ionic fridge air purifier is $39 and available online from Oransi HERE OR

Zaycon {Review} & SALES EVENT!!! Chicken for $1.48/lb

 "How Smart Families Buy Big & Save Big"

Have you even driven to the library or post office or grocery store and just need to do one little thing when you look in your backseat and your kids are sleeping.  You think "I really don't want to wake them up to just do this little thing- I wish there was a drive through!"

OR 

Your kids are extra active and you are extra tired and don't really want to drag them into another store just then and wish there was an easier way to get your errands done.

I am sure you have had one of these things happen if you have kids.  WELL now there is an easier way to get your chicken!  With Zaycon Foods you just order your chicken online, go to the location of their sales event and they will put your chicken in your car for you!  You will be done in no time at all without even leaving your car!  How is that for convenient?!

Zaycon Foods is going to have a HUGE sales event!  You can have the chance to get their

chicken for JUST $1.48/lb!!!

My experience with Zaycon

I was given a 40 lbs. box of chicken to review so that I can tell you what your experience will be like with Zaycon Foods.  Your chicken will come in a cardboard box like this (except with a lid on...):

Each case contains four 10-lb bags sealed in a larger bag inside the cardboard case.  This makes it easy to divide up if you are wanting to share your chicken.  My mom came over to help me tackle this project since my little ones wouldn't want to have me do this for very long.

This is what it will look like...

There is a little bit of work that goes into getting your chicken ready to freeze or cook.  We cleaned up our chicken and cut it apart. 

It took us about an hour to clean it up and bag it.  I am extra thorough with getting all the fat and "icky stuff" off of it so it may take you less time than it took me.  Here is our beautiful chicken all ready to bag up.

Now.. to be honest-- I really don't like dealing with raw meat.  This chicken job got to me after a while and it took me a week or so before I could eat my chicken.  It was kind of disgusting to me but I normally buy my chicken all neatly frozen in a bag :)  Ok-- call me a wimp... 

Once I used the chicken I was fine and it was beautiful!  VERY nice quality and it tasted great!  If you don't mind working with raw meat then I recommend this chicken to you 100%!!

If you have questions feel free to email me or leave a comment.  I also have a list of the times and dates of the event locations if you let me know your location I will tell you the date and time OR if you register with Zaycon Foods you will be able to get all of that information.

My location event time/date is: Pasco November 5th, 8:00am- Noon

Leave me a comment and let me know what YOU think!

Coupon Tip

One of my friends and faithful Savvy Moms followers sent me some great information on couponing!  She is amazing at it and I would love to live with her for a week to learn all of her secrets.  (She also has amazing organizing tips that I am hoping to learn someday). 

For now- here is Couponing 101:

"Did you know that Yokes will accept all competitor's coupons? This means you can use Fred Meyer, Albertsons or Safeway coupons all together, all at one location taking just one shopping trip instead of three, along with getting Yokes current great deals. What a score!! So, for example, Fred Meyer has a coupon in this past Sunday's paper for Kellogg's Cereal 5 boxes for $10. Take that coupon in to Yokes and use the Fred Meyer coupon along with the Kellogg's cereal coupons that came in the slick ads in last Sunday's paper (hopefully you collected your neighbors unwanted coupons as well) AND then use Albertson's double coupons that were in this Sunday's paper for even more savings. Yes, Yokes will take even the Albertsons double coupons!"

Check with your local stores to see what competitor's coupons they will take!  This will save you the time and gas of traveling all over.  What a great tip!  Thanks Kim.

Laundry Soap- DIY!

**This is my first attempt at sharing a document...hope it works!**

We spend SO much money on SOAP!!! Here is a recipe for a bunch of great ways to make it yourself and only have it cost about $15 a year!

There are recipes for the following:

LAUNDRY SOAP – LIQUID
LAUNDRY SOAP – POWDER

FABRIC SOFTENER

DRYER SHEETS

Powdered Dishwasher Detergent

Foaming Hand Soap Refill*

It is supposed to be ok for sensitve skin as well. Have you ever made your own laundry soap? I think I might have to try this out, but sorry, this tip won't save you time!! :)

Thanks to SMS reader Kristi Ann for sharing this!

(be on the lookout for a giveaway from her store as well!!)

*I use the Pampered Chef Suds pump with this- it works great! I own 5!!

Albertson's Savvy Shopping Trip!

I have GOTTA share this!  I just got back from Albertsons and this is what I got:

6 Boxes of Quaker Chewy Granola Bars

2 Boxes of PB Captin Crunch Cereal

2 Boxes of Life Cereal

1 Box of Fiber One bars

1 (1lb) bag of Dole Frozen Tropical fruit

How much do you think I spent?  Well... It would have normally been around $35-40 depending on where you get it.  I got all 12 items for $12.49!!!

I don't know about you... but that just makes me smile!!  Here is how I did it....

All of the Quaker products were on sale 10 for $10. BUT... Then I had 3 coupons...AND Albertsons had doublers out this week.  So..

Coupon #1: $.75 off when you buy 2 boxes of Quaker Chewy Granola Bars (already $1 a box!)DOUBLED= $1.50 off 2 boxes= Total Price $.50 for 2 boxes of Granola bars!!

Coupon #2: $.40 off a box of Fiber One bars (On sale for 1.69)

DOUBLED= $.80 off a box of Fiber One bars = Total Price $.89!!!

Coupon #3: $.75 off a Dole Frozen Fruits bag (Reg. Price 3.79)

DOUBLED= $1.50 off= Total Price $2.29 (My most expensive item by far!!)

Yeah for coupons and Albertsons!!!
