Making It On A Budget: October 2012

How does your family feel about your use of coupons? Do they refuse to go to the

store with you? Or do they support you and all your couponing craziness?

My family is a supportive family. Yes the kids get kinda aggrevated that it takes awhile

sometimes, but all in all the love it. My daughter will help cut coupons and clean my

binder out. By boys just want to know what they are getting as a snack. LOL they are

teenagers and eat all the time I think. My hubby on the other hand will go to the store

with me and help me. If I am organizing he will watch the screen to make sure im not getting

charged wrong, or he will unload and I watch the screen. He will use coupons if I Send him

to the store. When ask one day from someone that was behind us if it bothered him he stated

that its silly not to use coupons. She saves me alot of money. I don't care if it takes long.

Then when we get to the car I always go over the receipt again and check to make

sure everything is right. I've been overcharged a few times and didn't catch it at the

register.

I love that my family is into this with me. What are your thoughts on this subject?

Ronco Rotisserie Review and Giveaway

I love to cook, but sometimes between the busy schedules and practices for the kids we just don't have time to make a big dinner. We are not an eat out kinda family(Once in a while we will do a pizza or a burger). So when Ronco offered me the chance to review one of their rotisserie's I was all for it.

Now as you can see they say the possibilities are endless and they truly are. The first night I made steak

I used the basket that came with the set and hubby and kids loved it. Now hubby is a gas grill for steak kinda guy so that he even would try it was a miracle. But he actually enjoyed it. Then the next night I made a beef roast in it. I set the timer according to the instructions and it was perfect. Tender and juicy. Next I did a pork roast. Once again it came out juicy and tender and flavorful not dry. I love that it just rotates around in all its own juice. I have also done a whole chicken which I found that was very delish and next time to make 2 (with 3 kids 2 of which are teenage boys). Now they say you can make up to a 15 pound turkey, I think I will be trying that here soon too!

Clean up was a breeze I took the parts put in the sink while I wiped the counters and table down and they came clean with a simple wipe no scrubbing. Now I know most of the parts are dishwasher safe but since my hands are the dishwasher it was nice not to have to pull the scouring pad out. The outside wipes down really easy to.

So you know the saying set it and forget it you really can and still have a good meal any busy night of the week.

The folks over at Ronco we feeling really generous and is offering one(1) of my fans a Rotisserie of their own. So make sure you head over there and thank them and don't forget to tell them Making It On A Budget sent you.
