I have really tried to use exclamation points less, but I just can't... So...My husband inspects the ingredients of everything I buy. Annoying?.....yes, very much so, but I understand his reasons. He is also a big jam eater so of course the ingredients are important to him. I've been buying organic fruit spreads lately since my freezer and canned jams from last year ran out. NO MORE! Fruit Spreads: -have NO gelatin -little sugar (which is optional anyway) -SO easy to make! AND CHEAP!! what more do I need? Just bread and some elbow room. lolStrawberry Fruit Spread (you can use almost any fruit)1 T corn starch2 T sugar (if ya want)1/4 c water1 c crushed fruit To get a cup of crushed strawberries I didn't quite use the whole pound, I left this much. Combine the corn starch and sugar then mix in small bowl Add water and mix again Transfer into a large microwave safe bowl and add fruit, then mix again (needs to be a large bowl so it doesn't boil over in the microwave.) Microwave for 10 minutes Pour into jar DONE! The Fruit Spread lasts for 2 weeks in the fridge or months, possibly years, in the freezer! I thought the consistency was perfect, but if you want it thicker you could microwave it longer or use less water. YUM! Ed can't complain about these ingredients!!! :):) seriously, I'll work on my exclamation problem. Homemade Fruit Spread for Cents!

Posted by Audrey at 4:59 PM 0 comments Favorite Blog Today: Natural on a Budget There is a great post today on The Thrifty Mama about what to do with Coconut Oil. It's a guest post from Lorrie at Natural on a Budget. I've had some coconut oil in my cupboard for awhile that I haven't touched, and that all changes today!! I'm thinking my hair needs it more than my chicken..lol. You can get a good deal on coconut oil from Amazon: Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 15-Ounce Tubs (Pack of 2) for $13.94. An even better deal if you buy it with Swagbucks. :) Lorrie also has a great post about a Whole Foods version of an Unhappy Meal. When Whole Foods opens at Trolley Square I plan on posting a lot more from there. It's big and beautiful! I can't wait!! Favorite Blog Today: Natural on a Budget Posted by Audrey at 4:08 PM 2 comments Labels: favorite blog today More of My Story... I decided it's time to share more about myself. I have loved doing this blog for the past 8 months and getting to know some of you. It really has been fun and I will do it for as long as I shop. :) I remember in college I bought a book called "Personal Finance for Dummies." It didn't do much for me. I remained a financial dummy until marriage. THEN..my husband (Ed) and I received an amazing wedding gift....A Dave Ramsey Class (Thank you Snow's)!! It was awesome, we love Dave. We even won the $1000 giveaway for class members! ....awesome. From then on we kept a monthly budget and did pretty well. It really was great being on the same page with finances from the beginning of our marriage. We never fight about money, instead we fight about .......too many examples rush to mind. :) A few years later I was introduced, by fellow blogger Kori, to the community of couponing. It quickly became a passion as I saw our food storage double and our grocery budget shrink. It was this, among other things, that allowed my husband to take a paternity leave when our son was born 10 months ago. And when I say "paternity leave" it wasn't something he was paid for....lol...if only. Not the most ideal time to leave a job in a sense, but we felt secure because of our savings (Thank you to Dave!). Ed since has gained his realtor's license and finished a needed class to get an Urban Planning Certificate. Now because he was able to have some time off he has partnered and started an Architecture Firm in Park City, Utah. Without our savings and living beneath our means this just couldn't have happened. Coupons are to thank for blowing through our savings at a slower pace. Would Dave approve this move??? Don't know...lol but we each have our own plan. We now have to tighten our belts and build our savings back up. Every coupon helps. :) More of My Story... Posted by Audrey at 3:06 PM 4 comments Labels: about LOW Entry Giveaways Ending Today!

So if you still have tons of both from recent sales you'll want to check out this recipe for a Chocolate Eclair Dessert. Once I saw the picture I realized my sister in law made this for us a few weeks ago. So I can say...IT IS GOOD! Ed (my husband) was just making fun of me this morning for having so much Cool Whip in our tiny freezer. How do I pass up FREE Cool Whip though...that's what I want to know. Anyway I'm glad to have another recipe for it. :) They also have a great post about Pudding Pops and making your own Pudding Mix!
