I was on the NEWS!

Yes, you read that right.  I.....was on.....THE......NEWS!  Exciting right?  I KNOW!

If you live within 60 miles of me, or are one of my close friends you already know this.

For those of you that missed it here is the deal......

I friends Sarah {also known as Money Saving Queen} was a busy, BUSY lady a few weeks ago during Black Friday....or Thursday as it turned out.  She asked her readers to send in their BF deals so she could feature them on the news!  Well, I had an AMAZING deal so I was ALL over that!

What was my deal, you ask?

It was this BEAUTIFUL necklace from The Vintage Pearl (TVP).


I absolutly LOVE it!

I only paid $4 for it!!

Now, let me explain how I got this deal.

As I mentioned Monday, it is all about working the deal!  TVP has put a few gift certificate deals on Groupon, this is where I started.  Back in August (I think) TVP teamed up with Groupon and put an AMAZING deal up!  For just $15 you could purchase a $30 gift certificate!  That's AWESOME!

Ok, I know I said I only paid $4 and that just doesn't make since, especially when I said I purchased a $15 Groupon.  Well, here is how it went down!

When your friends sign up with Groupon you get a $10 credit!  I had enough credit to purchase the TVP certificate for.....FREE!

I knew TVP would have some specials coming up so I sat and waited and waited and waited.  Then BAM!  They announced they would be open on Black Friday and if you were able to get there before a certain time you got so much off  your total.

AWESOME!

I was able to get there before the deal ended.  HOWEVER, I was not able to get the full BF special because I was using a Groupon.  STINK!  I was a little bummed but got over it because I really love TVP and I really love this necklace.  The girl that checked me out still offered a 10% discount though, I gladly accepted.

So there you have it!  That is how I was able to snag my beautiful $38 TVP necklace for just $4!  AWESOME!

Oh, and you can find the video of the news segment here.

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet!   Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up.  I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this.  FREE is ALWAYS good!   I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail.  I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results.  I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it.  You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal}   12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Directions f

Granny's Flitters

I love my family!  There are so many things I love about each person and also about all of us as a whole.  One of the things I love about my family is we love traditions. Today I am going to share just one of the many traditions we have.....FLITTERS! To me when I think of comfort food, I think of Flitters.  It was a special morning to wake up to the delicious smell of flitters frying in the morning.  It is one smell that every time I smell I am brought right back to childhood and great memories. I am not really sure where the name "flitters" came from or if someone just made it up.  I can tell you how it got started though! My Great, Great Uncle Orville's mom (Grandma Cook) baked bread.  On the days she would make extra bread dough she would invite all of her grandkids over for a flitter night.  She would make her bread and then the extra dough she would roll out, cut into strips and fry up for the kids to enjoy.  That tradition was then passed to my
