Gift Cards at Kroger

I am a Bzz Agent. When you buy gift cards at The Kroger Co. Family of Stores, you get something, too: the gift of cheaper fuel!

I purchased the 4 ten dollar Mc Donalds Gift Cards. I used a hundred bonus point coupon I received for being a Bzz Agentt and received 99 points for this purchase. So I will be saving about .30 cents per gallon on my next fuel purchase. You can go to Kroger Stations, Turkey Hill Stations and Shell Stations and use your Kroger Card for money off on your gas purchase. These points will come in handy due to the rising cost of fuel. You too can save on gas by purchasing gift cards at Krogers.

Kroger Skillet Meals, Kroger Fresh Express Salad Kits, and Kroger Garlic Bread Bzz Agent review

This is my second review. I decided to try a different variety of the Kroger Skillet Meals for dinner this time. I went with the Tuscan Style Penne. I purchased two bags, because one will not feed a family of four. My family loved it. We will definitely purchase this variety again! The Fresh Express Salad Kits are great because they include everything you need lettuce, veggies, dressing, and toppings such as croutons and bacon. And just enough left over for my lunch the following day. Coupled with the Kroger Garlic Bread, which is a winner in my household. It’s difficult to believe it was store brand. The kids really loved the garlic bread and we've had it couple of times since first trying it. It is a complete meal ready in a little over 10 minutes with minimal effort. This meal is definitely a huge success! Be sure to give Kroger Skillet Meals a try and while you're there, why not make it a meal and pick up a bag of Fresh Express Salad and some Kroger Garlic Bread. I had the pleasure of trying their Kroger Skillet Meals, Fresh Selections Salad Kits, & Kroger Garlic Bread. I received a sample of this product from Bzz Agent to review. I am a Bzz Agent and participate in their program

Saving Money with Coupons

There seems to be quite a few people that don't use coupons because they are embarrassed to do so. While they may think that there are legitimate reasons to not use coupons, the truth is that they aren't in the least bit embarrassing.

Everyone has reasons for saving money, it could be for emergency fund, retirement, college funds, vacation and the list goes on, because life happens every day.

My grocery bill came to $62.00 and some change. I donated $1.00 to the food bank right in the store. I used my coupons for a savings of $27.45. So I actually spent $34.00 and some change for all of this.

Besides using your savings on yourself and family, you can use your coupon savings toward helping others. Here are some good points or ideas.

You get the ability to support other people in need.

You are able to meet your family obligations without getting into debt.

You are able to support Gods work in the local church and missions abroad.

You have the ability to demonstrate your obedience to God through your finances.

“In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.” (Proverbs 21:20, NIV)

Thats all for now, until next time!

How the Herbs from My Garden have Grown

Herbs from my garden

Gather the herbs in the early morning after the dew has evaporated to minimize wilting. Avoid bruising the leaves. They should not lie in the sun or unattended after harvesting. Rinse herbs in cool water and gently shake to remove excess moisture. Discard all bruised, soiled or imperfect leaves and stems.

 

dried dill

Drying is the easiest method of preserving herbs. Tie them into small bundles and hang them to air dry. Air-drying outdoors is often possible; however, better color and flavor retention usually results from drying indoors. Suspend a small bunch (large amounts will mold) of herbs in a bag and close the top with a rubber band. Place where air currents will circulate through the bag until the moisture evaporates. Any leaves and seeds that fall off will be caught in the bottom of the bag.  

I put mine in a black net bag which I hang mine in my closet. 

oregano ready to dry

When fully dry I place a newspaper on the table and gently squeeze the bundle over the paper. I then check for stray stems and discard them. I fold the paper and pour into a spice bottle and then write on the label what spice it is. I bought some inexpensive spice bottles from Dollar Tree.

And presto basil, thyme, & dill spices are ready for use.

I am currently drying out oregano.

Proverbs 6:6-8

⁶ Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
⁷ It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,
⁸ yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest

I am a bzz agent and I recieved free of charge an eight piece deli fried chicken, a bag of Kroger Kettle Chips and a liter of coca-cola. You may ask why? To review the products in the campaigns I am approved for and to write a review.

Let me tell you after working a 12 hour shift I really didnt feel like cooking. So I went to the Kroger deli and picked up the chicken and cole slaw, then the chips and coca-cola. Went home set the table and my family had a meal in no time. Thanks.

Until next time

The way my garden grows with birdsong

God provides

Matthew 6:25-27
That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life, whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing. Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

I love watching my Grandchildren having fun & not worrying about things in everyday life.

 

If there’s one thing I know and am thankful for it’s that God provides and values each and every one of us.

He provides whether I ask or don’t ask, and He provides more abundantly than I would have ever dreamed, and most of the time in ways I never imagined.  I have been very blessed in my life.  

Who would have thought God was going to bring me thru all the trials that He did and somehow worked it for ‘my good’.  You know what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  I am in awe of His grace. 

It’s time to let God know we value him as well. It’s up to us to stand up for our rights as Christian believers. People around the world are demanding their rights, claiming they are offended and filing lawsuits and setting precedents’ regarding what they find acceptable.  Whether to say the pledge of allegiance, to pray or sing about God, Carry or read a Bible, Christmas Plays, Nativity Scenes, even putting in God we trust on our money.  Well it offends me that this stuff is being considered for banning or already been banned. Does it offend you?

Until next time.
