Get paid to buy Pillsbury rolls!

Not a bad deal. This month I have tried not to go shopping unless the stores were paying me to and I have done fairly well. Looks like I'm going to have to go to King Soopers this week and get paid to buy some more Pillsbury rolls. My poor fridge is sagging from the weight of all of the ones I bought back when Albertsons was quadrupling .25 coupons. Of course having Pillsbury rolls already baked at all times isn't necessarily a bad thing. I also found a recipe for Bubble Pizza Thanks to Shop Smart in Vegas for the link.

Mmmm Yummy! So if you are anxious to know how to get this deal to work for yourself so you can find cool things to do with your rolls, check out I am a Money Magnet for a complete break down. Then look around as she shows you some great ways she made this deal work!

edit: I discovered when I went today that the 10/$10 deal is for the mini containers of cinnamon rolls. I didn't find any when I went out last time but I will look if I make it that way again.

The beauty of a blogroll.

So I was scanning through a few of my lesser read blogs in an effort to catch up and I found myself on a blogroll chain. I bounced from one blogger to a blogger in their roll to one in their roll and so on. I found myself at a very entertaining blog called Taking what is left. She had a link to the Typealyzer. This site will analyze your blog and give it a version of the Meyers-Briggs test. How cool is that?

Looks like mine is:

ESTP - The Doers



The active and playful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.

The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.









Well I guess if you take out the outdoorsy portion, that's pretty much my blog. I definitely get more steam out of starting a project than finishing it, as evidenced by the ugly gaps in posting here, but I'm working on it :)

What about you? How does your blog score?

Even easier than "Easy"

Contrary to my recent posts about baked goods, I am far from a consummate chef. My all time favorite book is one called Help my apartment has a kitchen!. Recipes are listed in order of very easy, easy and not so easy. Their Teriyaki Chicken is a favorite in our house, even loved by my beyond picky 5 year old! Problem is, for someone one like me it's still a bit of work, you have to use up a big bowl large enough to hold the chicken and mix all the ingredients together and then find room in your fridge for such a bowl for 2 hours or more!

I just stumbled onto this site Dinnersonme on my never ending search for ideas to cook for my family. I haven't looked through it very long, because on the first page I saw there was a link for teriyaki chicken. Unbelievable! 4 ingredients, put them all in a bag with the chicken and let it sit. NO DISHES! I can't wait to try it.

What about you? Do you have any really simple recipes you swear by? I'm always looking for other ideas.

Kashi Secret Contest

I don't know how many of you have already signed up for Kashi through one of their promotions, but if you go log in you get entered in a contest for a years supply of Kashi products! I went to go get this Free Kashi frozen entree that I found on MNTK. Sadly most of the time if you are already a member these promotions do not apply though. I decided to try anyway (as I always do) and this time the free entree is for everyone! On top of that if you register with them or log in as a member you are entered in the contest I mentioned. What a great deal!

When I say this is a secret contest, it's possible that they mentioned it in my email but since I get sooo much email in my folder I may have missed it.
