It's a little late (seeing as we already ate our Monday night meal, lol) & not too exciting, but I wanted to go ahead and get a MPM post up this week, since I am determined to be back on track this week :D
Monday- Grilled chicken teriyaki
Tuesday- Bringing a freezer meal to my sister's place (remember, she just had a baby!) - We'll eat it together
Wednesday- My old stand-by, Springtime Pasta (here is the link to an old MPM where I list this, the easiest recipe ever)
Thursday- Pork Chops with apple stuffing (I can't find this online to link up, it's in the Pillsbury Pot Pies & Casseroles book that is in stores now)
Friday- Beef enchilada stack (also in the Pillsbury book; if these recipes are worthwhile I'll take pics and blog about them)
Saturday- Out!
Sunday- Burgers/dogs on the grill
Check out the other menu plans over at Menu Plan Monday!

A few months back Udder Covers, makers of a nursing cover-up, ran a special where they were giving away free pink or blue nursing covers if you paid $7.95 for shipping. I ordered a blue one as a gift and it came without incident. I didn't note the quality of it--because I had never purchased a nursing cover before--it seemed fine to me.
Well the Udder Covers deal is back, and I was getting ready to post it here with no reservations, until I discovered that there had been a bit of controversy about this deal in the past. (Check out this post (and comments) on Baby Cheapskate here)
The shipping price is now $8.95. If you are interested in a pink one for $8.95 (or waiting for a different pattern on backorder), here's the details below. Just thought I'd throw it out there, since this deal had worked for me in the past and I thought it was worth it!
Here is the email I received with instructions for ordering:
Hi friend,
I wanted to say thank you for ordering a nursing cover and let you know that we are now running a limited time promotion for 100% off ALL our covers (patterned and non-patterned)! You can get ANY of our covers for free ~ you just pay the S&H! We know that you support breastfeeding -so if you're not currently nursing, they make great baby shower and Holiday gifts. The promo code is "backorder1".
Go to www.uddercovers.com , click on "Shop Now" where it will then display all the nursing covers we offer as well as other products and sets. Select the product you would like and you will automatically be directed to the center of the page where you can enter in the promo code! This backorder promotion will give you a $32.00 discount off your total order no matter what you put in your cart! This promotion code is valid once per transaction so order as many times as you would like. Let all your friends know too!
Again, thank you! We could not have offered this discount without your past support!
Sincerely,
Jenny Pierce
Owner

It was like I got paid $14.62 to take home the groceries you see in the picture!
I mentioned in an earlier deals post, a $25 in free groceries promotion that Kraft is running. Click here to go to their site and get all of the details including a printable shopping list of the participating products.
Even with NO coupons, you are still getting $25 in free groceries. With coupons, this deal is a moneymaker! Here's how it works: you spend $25 in participating products (*before* coupons). At checkout, after you pay, you will get a $5 catalina coupon for your next purchase. Also, a rebate form will print to get the $20 back in a rebate. The rebate is limit one per household.
Mindi at Moms Need To Know has a list of all the coupon matchups for participating products. Check out her list here.
This is what I did:
Bought 7 Velveeta Shells & Cheese Cups @ $1 each. Used a b1g1f coupon & a 2 free cups coupon I had from Kraft FirstTaste. Used the b1g1f coupon from last week's paper & a $0.55 off 1 coupon (that doubled to $1.10) I received from some other mailer. After the coupons I paid $1.90 & got credit for $7.
Bought 1 Capri Sun juice pack box for $2. Used a $0.75 off (that doubled to $1.50) that I received in a coupon mailer. After coupon I paid $0.50 & got credit for $2.
Bought 3 packages of Kraft 2% milk shredded cheese @ $1.66 each. Used 3 $0.50 off coupons that were in a tearpad at the store a few weeks ago (that doubled to $1 each). After coupons I paid $1.98 & got credit for $5.
Bought 1 DiGiorno Flatbread @ $2.50 and used a $1 off coupon from a recent mailer. Paid $1.50, got credit for $2.50.
Bought 1 CPK frozen pizza @ $5.50 and used a $1 off coupon from this week's paper. Paid $4.50, got credit for $5.50.
Finally, I bought 1 bottle of A1 @ $3 and used the $2 off coupon from this week's paper. Paid $1, got credit for $3.
Total credit towards promo: $25. Total amount spent after coupons: $11.38.
Received $5 Catalina for this promo and also a $1 Catalina for purchasing 2 cups of Velveeta shells. After I receive the $20 rebate it will be a $14.62 money-maker!
I know that I had a bunch of unique coupons, but even if you do this without ANY coupons, you are still nabbing free groceries! Be sure to hurry as the last day for this deal is 8/23!

Confession: I didn't do so hot on my menu plan last week. With the birth of my nephew, having an open house and the other activities of the week, I didn't cook as much as I had hoped I would. On a high note, the Chicken with White Wine & Artichokes was a really good recipe and I'll definitely have to make that again soon!
Monday- The hamburgers & hot dogs we were supposed to have yesterday ;o)
Tuesday- The Red Beans & Rice recipe from last week (still have the hankering & the ingredients)--gotta warn you, the link is from Dinner Tool and makes my computer run really slow for some reason.
Wednesday- Overnight Salmon Bake to use up a can of salmon. Note: You can use a can of condensed mushroom soup instead of white sauce--definitely what I will be doing.
Thursday- Grilled bbq chicken
Friday- Broiled tilapia with capers and breadcrumbs
Saturday & Sunday are both out! Spending time at the beach with family. =)
