Mondays With Mavis… {Updated with Scenarios!}
How was your weekend? Did you do go anywhere/do anything exciting? I went to a Renaissance Fair. It was weird… Or maybe I’m the one that’s weird. I just don’t understand why someone would want to buy an animal tail. Do you?
Aside from the fact I don’t think I’d fare well in Medieval Times (no coupons, baby wipes or shampoo for that matter) I did pick up milk and OJ @ Fred Meyer for $3.75 last Wednesday.
I’m not normally a Safeway shopper but I couldn’t resist the “perfect storm” of coupons for this deal. Early last week there was a $3 Breyers Blast Ice cream ecoupon available to load to my Safeway shopper card. Also available, $2 off 1 pint of Starbucks ice cream and $2 off Reese’s ice cream cups {NLA}.
I also used 2 $1 New York coupons and the $5 off $15 frozen foods coupon and paid $1.47 for everything above. Let’s just say… my kids were VERY happy to accompany me to the store for this deal. 
Garden fresh green and purple beans from the garden.
15 zucchini and our first small basket of tomatoes. We also harvested another basket of beans and a few raspberries but I forgot to take a picture.

Take Out Fake Out Black Bean Pizza
Instead of calling the delivery guy, why not try a little DIY? I found this recipie in a magazine awhile back and …YUM!! It’s fun and easy to make, with lots of variations and the only pizza I don’t feel guilty eating 3 slices of!
Black Bean Pizza
Makes: 4 servings
Prep Time: 12 min.
Cook Time: 20 min.
You will need:
- 1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup thawed frozen corn kernels
- 4 plum tomatoes, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1 avocado, diced into 1/4 inch pieces
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 16 oz. pizza dough, regular or whole wheat (I usually use 2 of the Jiffy box pizza doughs. They’re cheap and only need 5 min to rise)
- 1 cup finely shredded reduced fat sharp cheddar
I also like to add:
- Chopped olives
- Cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
- Chopped red onion
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and place and empty baking sheet (or pizza pan) on the middle rack.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the black beans, corn, tomatoes, scallions, cumin, chili powder, avocado, salt, and black pepper, (and whatever else you like!) Set aside.
3. Working on a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a 13 inch circle. Transfer to warmed baking sheet and crimp the edges slightly to form a lip at the edge of the crust. Top with black bean mixture, sprinkle with the cheese and bake aprox. 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cut into 8 slices and serve!

Mondays With Mavis
My husband was out of town last week so I decided to take advantage and sleep late, play in the garden, and organize a few things around the house. As you can guess I didn’t do a whole lot of couponing. It appears I’ve pretty much taken a break from extreme couponing as of late… But don’t worry, it won’t last. I’m down to 5 bottles of shampoo, a few tubes of toothpaste and I think it’s been about 3 months since I’ve walked into a Rite Aid store. So on Saturday night I logged into my Rite Aid account and watched all the July Video Values to get caught up. I just finished watching the August ones this morning and so I should be ready to go the next time a great deal comes along.
Taking a month or two off from couponing (especially in the summer) is easy to do when you have a stockpile to fall back on. It’s nice to have a little cushion for those time when you’d rather stay home and make do with what you have in the cupboard rather than hop in the car to pick up dinner.
There were a few deals however that I did manage to pick up. Like 2 containers of Real Fruit Pectin for $2.33. I paid $1.19 each after the $1/1 6/12 SS coupon and less a .05 bag credit at Fred Meyer).
On the last day of double coupons at Albertsons last week I picked up 2 Kettle chips & 1 Mac and Cheese and paid $1.00 oop after coupons. (I used double coupons plus a $1 catalina coupon PLUS I got back a $1 catalina).
I also Paid $ .98 (I used double coupons and a $1.00 catalina PLUS I got back a $1.00 catalina).
I also snagged the Emerald Harmony Banana Chips and Trail Mix from Amazon.com. My order was FREE thanks to a Amazon card I earned from my SWAGBUCKS.
I also spent a lot of time baking last week.
Staying in has it’s advantages.
I also picked/collected FREE produce and eggs from the backyard.
And redeemed a few free doughnuts thanks to the Albertsons Sizzlin’ summer sweepstakes. I paid .62 cents for the fruit (I used a $1.00 catalina).
Free doughnuts and paper towels (Albertsons Summer Sizzlin’ Sweepstakes)
More free produce from the backyard.
I don’t know about you… But I always glance over at the shopping carts before I head into the grocery store… Especially at Albertsons. You never know what you’re going to find.
Yesterday when I went in I found a $2 catalina and a coupon for a FREE bag of carrots in one cart! Hot Diggity! In another I found a coupon for 1 dozen FREE eggs and a FREE pizza with any $10 purchase. It kinda felt like Christmas. I was only planning on buying a few things… but once I got a hold of the FREE coupons I quickly decided I’d go ahead and spend $10 (after coupons) so I could pick up the free pizza,carrots and eggs.
But before I started shopping, I headed over to the customer service desk and redeemed my latest Albertsons Summer Sizzlin’ prize. A $2 CASH PRIZE. (If you’re trying to win the $2 prize… the hardest ticket to find is C184 (the left side of the ice cream container).
Anyway… after my $2 cat, $2 prize money and free coupons… I paid $10.37 for everything above. I really wanted to buy more peaches (to freeze) and I still might go back and buy more… But I’m kinda hoping I get a call from Zaycon. When I went to sign up for a 36lb box of peaches, they were already sold out in my area… so I’m on the waiting list. They’re offering peaches for $ .79 cents a pound… which is a bargain in my opinion. But we LOVE peaches… we NEED peaches… especially to freeze for winter smoothies… So I might just cave in and go back and buy more for $ .99 a lb at Albertsons tomorrow. We’ll see.
All in all… not bad for a pretty lazy week of couponing.
How about YOU? Did you buy anything exciting last week?
Total Spent This Week $ 15.30

Couponing in a Small Space, Part 3
To be honest, I sort of forgot about this series… then lovely Kristina sent in this photo:
Okay, she might have sent this to me in JUNE, but it’s been sitting there in the back of my mind, and as I sit in my hotel room, unable to watch TV for fear of waking my sleeping daughter up, it popped into my head. How brilliant is this idea?!? Put a tension rod under your sink, and hang all your spray bottles!! Then you don’t have to search for the ones you want, buried in a million other cleaning supplies!
Another reader sent in this picture, sharing the way she organizes her linen closet! This is simply a 24 pocket shoe rack, filled with various toiletries! It totally makes room in the linen closet for the actual linens!
We’ve got one of these at home, we use it to hold movies, but we’ve also used it for scrapbooking supplies, and to hold food! Target has them on sale this week for $39.99, which is about 1/3 less than what we paid for ours! Plus, if you get the little fabric drawers, no one is the wiser as to what’s in it!
What do you do with your stockpile?

Mondays With Mavis
It’s been two weeks since our last round of Albertsons Double Coupons… How are you holding up? It’s dry spells like these when having a good sized stockpile sure does come in handy. After all if every week was as coupon crazy as this one we’d never get a break from clipping coupons to do fun things like scope out garage sales and pick up awesome Brown Leather Hats
As you might have guessed… this was a slow week for Mavis. Beside picking fresh strawberries, peas, raspberries and swiss chard from our garden I also picked up:
9 boxes of brownies, 1 gallon of milk (free w/catalina) 1 package of Twizzlers (I’m saving those for the upcoming Harry Potter movie) 1 (free) can of corn, 3 (free) doughnuts and 4 boxes of Nature Valley Granola Bars from Albertsons on the last day of the sale for $9.64 (I also earned $7 in catalina coupons thanks to the Nature Valley Granola Bars).
On July 4th I picked up whipping cream & Jello-pudding (for my strawberry cake) and a free 4 pack of tropical fruit (thanks to the Summer Sizzlin’ Sweepstakes) for $6.28
8 ears of corn for $2.00 at QFC
1 gallon of milk, 1 head of iceberg lettuce, 1 loaf of bread , 1 lemon, 2 banana’s (missing from the photo) and 1 large packet of green bean seeds for $2.53 (I used my $7 in catalina coupons from the Nature Valley Deal).
While my kids were at the dentist I popped over to P.F.Chang’s and picked up a FREE ORDER of lettuce wraps (and paid $2.75 for a strawberry lemonade).
I was able to order FREE Justin’s Peanut Butter from Amazon.com thanks to Swagbucks...
2 FREE Sharpies thanks to the $1.00 off Target printable coupon.
My son paid .50 for a glass of lemonade and 1 Rice Krispie Treat from a concession stand at a neighborhood garage sale.
I paid $1.00 for 4 Otter Pops (and take a look at the awesome robes from Morocco I picked up at the garage sale for only $5! I’m sure you’re all terribly disappointed you didn’t get in on that deal!). If you’re wondering why I look like I’m wearing football gear under my new favorite costume… It’s because I also picked up a really nice white down jacket for $7… which according to this photo I was still wearing at about 2 in the afternoon in 80 degree weather. Geez… no wonder I thought .25 cents for Otter Pops was such a great deal… I was obviously suffering from the side effects of sun stroke!
So there you have it.
Total spent this week $24.70
Total spent year to date $687.47 Woot!
