My classes start up this Tuesday (Inauguration night, of all nights!), and that has traditionally heralded the beginning of not-great-menu-upkeep; my primary sore spot of finding the time to make meals, thus keeping our food costs down.
Now, with working full time (plus often overtime), taking two classes (one online, one in the classroom), and with [...]

I know we’re mid-way through the month here, but it somehow feels wrong to post it right away. Just like I hate going to the gym in January. Doesn’t matter if I’ve been going the entire previous year, I still feel like a poseur or a soon-to-be-drop-out.
Anyways, last year we did very well in our [...]

Match-Up Birthplaces
All the coupons you see come primarily from the Boston Globe, and often from the NH Union Leader Sunday Papers. There are sometimes slight differences, but are identical most weeks. The dates are the dates for each week's paper and the codes stand for the coupon inserts.
For example:
SS=SmartSource
RP=Red Plum
GM=General Mills
PG=Proctor & GambleI also use printable coupons from various manufacturer sites, as well as the sites coupons.com and smartsource.com. When this is the case, I'll add a link.
Finally, "tear-pad" and "blinkie" coupons are those found in the aisles at various stores...for a reasonably up-to-date list, check out the "tear-pad alert" below.
Circulars and in-store coupons can vary however. I base my sales data off of circulars and stores from the North Shore, except for Hannaford's, which I get from Southern NH.
