Eastern Hills Mall food court
Owner: FrugalGail
This is a public event.

About

We do this on the first Friday of every month. Please join us for some coffee and discussion about ways to stretch a dollar in these trying times. This is totally informal. RSVP if you want to or just show up and join Gail (FrugalGail) and Mary (Momthreekids) and friends to swap coupons and talk about ways to help our families stretch a dollar and achieve our financial goals.

If you want to swap coupons it would be helpful if you cut them out and separate them into categories (food, pets, baby, toiletries, etc.) in marked envelopes or just with a paper clip. We welcome coupon books, IP coupons, newspaper coupons, or those from any other source. Unused or expired coupons will be donated to the WGRZ Coups 2 Troops campaign. Questions welcome.

The Eastern Hills Mall is a great place to grab lunch and/or go shopping. Coffee, snacks, and even lunch are available for purchase in the food court or you can bring something from home. Feel free to bring a snack to share too if you would like.

The next swap after this one will be Friday April 5, 2013. Same time, same place. (Note to parents: that is over the Easter Break.)

      30momE&S Thank you for the snacks and dried tomatoes! Hubby was interested in using them in his next batch of chili. Gail, you mentioned re-hydrating them in oil. Do you use a certain kind of oil, like olive oil, or does regular work? Would it need refridgeration? I'm thinking of using them in some pasta!

      FrugalGail Np refrigeration needed. I rehydrate them in olive oil for things like pizza, but for chili I just break them up and throw them in without rehydrating them. They will absorb some liquid from the chili.

    Thanks, Gail. I'm hoping to be able to come Friday with Aunt Jo. I just have to make sure my friend doesn't need me to drive her for bloodwork. The chemo and the radiation are taking a toll on her.
