Creamy White Bean and Apple Chili

So ever since Chris went back to school for the semester, I've made a resolution to be better about having dinner ready for him (when he gets home at 10:30 PM) and having something for him to eat for lunch the next day.

I know what you're thinking...these are duties that every wife should be doing already, right? This is true, and sadly I have been slacking. It's hard to work an 8-hour day and then come home exhausted and STILL have to make dinner -- but that's no excuse.

So last night I made crockpot Creamy White Bean and Apple Chili and it was really yummy! I found the recipe on a woman's blog who made the New Year's Resolution of cooking something in the crockpot every day in 2008. Yes, that means she has over 200 crockpot recipes on her blog, complete with before and after pictures, ingredients, directions and results. Next on my list to try is this!

Electrasol

I promise all of my posts WON'T be about the deals I find!

But here's another one from yesterday. Three boxes of Electrasol dishwashing detergent for $0.25 + tax at Albertsons.

Granola Bars

Here's my daily find post. Yesterday I got 10 boxes of granola bars for $0.79.

They were 10/$10 at Albertsons and after my coupons the total was $5.75. Then I had a $5 catalina from last week's deal so the grand total was... (drum roll, please)... $0.75 + tax!

Lifetime supply of cleaner and cough syrup!

It was a good day yesterday deal-wise. (For those of you who don't know, I have a sick obsession with "deals" and even made a website about it -- www.slavetosave.synthasite.com.)

I got 28 bottles of various cleaners, 12 bottles of Robitussen (going to the YWCA next week) plus a few books of stamps and some candy bar fillers. It cost me about $20 out of pocket, plus I've now got $98 in register rewards (Walgreens cash) in my wallet to use on next week's deals!

Like I said, it was a good day yesterday.
