Saving - Locals: **HOT**$20 of Choice Meats for $10!

I am so happy this deal is back!  I completely forgot to grab it when it was up under the Keloland Spotlight offer....so NOW while you are thinking about it (kind of scolding myself here), go over here to Groupon and grab $20 worth of tastey meats from J&M Specialty Meats located inside of Country Meats for just $10!

I posted the prices and ideas below in my Spotlight post and think they will help you decide if you want to grab this deal as well!  This would be a GREAT first Groupon purchase, if you have never done one before! 

Keep in mind that prices will vary by sizes, but here are a few I noticed:
*The brats we picked up were 5 brats in a package for $5.19
*The hamburger patties were 1/3 pound each and there were 6 in a package for around $9+
*Ground Chuck 1 pound tubes were a little over $4

Deal Scenario with today's Spotlight:
Purchase 4 packages of brats at around $5.19 a package
= $20.76 + tax
Pay with $20 Groupon
= $.76 + whatever tax
*So for around $11 (plus tax) you get 4 pkgs of brats



Awesome deals to be had!  Grab your Groupon now!

Living - Whatchya Got Cookin'?! A Little Kid-Friendly Patriotism Through Food!

Picture from Family Fun website
I was lucky enough to happen upon this great recipe through Family Fun.  It is a great mixture of fun, patriotism with food and taste!  And best of all it is a nice, kid-friendly recipe.  Get them in the kitchen with you!

Patriotic Strawberries made in my kitchen!
Patriotic Strawberries

What you need:
12 oz White Chocolate Chips
Strawberries
Blue sugar

What to do:
*Wash strawberries and allow to dry completely.
*Melt white chocolate chips in microwave as directed on package.
*Dip bottom half of strawberry in melted chips.
*Then dip into blue sugar
*Place on waxed paper until hard

Enjoy!

Notes:
*I am also going to try a version of the above strawberries by making my fruit dip recipe, similar to this one.  Dip strawberries in fruit dip and then sprinkle with blue sugar.  Place directly to serving dish.  These won't dry and will be a bit more messy, but sure to be another tastey and fun version.

*I found 16 oz Driscolli strawberries on Price Decline at my HyVee for just $1.44!  Hope you can find these too!

For this and other "Whatchya Got Cookin'? recipes, go over here!  Feel free to also send me an email with your favorite, tried and true recipes!

Hey there!  Did you grab the hot Keloland Spotlight deal for Hot Shot fireworks (no longer available)?  I wanted to give you a couple tips if you haven't already headed out to get your fireworks.  The kiddos and I went today and I hope to help you be a little more prepared than we were!

Tips:
*Leave the kids at home! LOL!!!! :-)  Couldn't resist this tip.  Wow, the kids had fun picking out their fireworks.  And of course the two year old had to carry a grocery basket throughout the store.  Made the trip that much more exciting, if you know what I mean! 
*You CAN use the Hot Shot ad coupons with your Keloland Spotlight!  I have only seen a couple that came with the Sioux Falls Shopping News this week, but it did make for additional savings!  If anyone knows of others, please leave a comment!
*Hot Shot fireworks PRICE MATCHES!  So if you have other firework stand ads, it wouldn't hurt to bring them along for possible price matching! 
*And just a little heads up that they do offer a TV viewing of some of their fireworks so that you know exactly what they do before you buy them!

A reader left a comment last week on the Target deals blog post alerting us of a possible clearance on girls jeans.  I'm glad they did!  I went a few days ago and confirmed that they were definitely on clearance at my store.  I had to run back in for a quick grab today and found that they have since gone from 50% off to now 75%, making them just $2.48!

Living - Peachwave Versus Cherry Berry?

So I have a confession to make.  Well, do I dare say it?  Okay, as long as you don't think different of me.  In the previous 5 days I have been to Peachwave twice and Cherry Berry once.  Okay, I said it!  First step to addiction recovery, admitting you have a problem, right?! :-)

I talked hubby into going to Peachwave on Friday, it being his first time he was all about taking the trip.  And then the next night I hinted around to him at supper that it would be fun to try Cherry Berry (it being both of our first time) in the same weekend so that we could do a fair comparison of both spots.

Guess where we got to go later that evening?!  Cherry Berry!

And don't tell the hubs, but the kiddos and I snuck to Peachwave on Monday after a few hours at the spray park!  It's our little secret!

So which one is better?  Hmm?  Should I first say, the kids could care less...they LOVE both!

I honestly don't think there is a fair comparison, because although they are both similar in nature, they definitely have their distinct, yet unique differences. 

Both are fun, self-serve low fat/no fat frozen yogurt shops.  And may I say that they both try and trick you into thinking you don't have much of their yummy goodness in their gynormeous bowls!  It worked on the kids and hubby, but I have you figured out. LOL!

Here are my positive notes for both:

Peachwave
*Awesome customer service!  Each time I have been to Peachwave (3 times now) the employees are engaged with the customers and helpful.  Offering samples and giving a little hint on what to do.
*Tastey yogurt choices with tons of toppings.  Yummo, Pineapple!  (Cherry Berry did not have this one)
*Coupon on Falls Food good for 10% off your purchase.  Expires 6/30/11.  Sure hope they update with another one when this one expires!!
*Frequent shopper program.  With every $20 purchased you will automatically earn 10% off.  Just mention it at your purchase and give them your phone number.  Each purchase will be added.
*Quiet "neighborhood", nice to sit outside

Cherry Berry
*Cute and comfortable seating.  Love the couches!  So comfortable!  My hubby suggested we paint our livingroom the same green color!
*Tastey yogurt choices and a lot of great toppings.  Yummo, White Chocolate Mousse!  (Peachwave did not have this one)
*Like how several of the toppings are located in dispenser containers rather than "buffet" type style. Seems more streamlined.

So tell me, do you have a preference?!

There is another great local deal going on today through Keloland Spotlight.  You can grab $20 worth of your choice of meats for just $10 at J&M Specialty Meats inside Country Meats (head South on Minnesota Ave)!

I grabbed this deal when it was through Groupon a while back and we just tried the yummy meats they had to offer!  We grilled up some brats and hamburger patties this weekend.  Both were tastey.  The employee assisting us was also very friendly and helpful, offering up suggestions and information on best sellers.

If you want to grab some quality meats at a great price, this is a nice deal!

Keep in mind that prices will vary by sizes, but here are a few I noticed:
*The brats we picked up were 5 brats in a package for $5.19
*The hamburger patties were 1/3 pound each and there were 6 in a package for around $9+
*Ground Chuck 1 pound tubes were a little over $4

Deal Scenario with today's Spotlight:
Purchase 4 packages of brats at around $5.19 a package
= $20.76 + tax
Pay with $20 Groupon
= $.76 + whatever tax
*So for around $11 (plus tax) you get 4 pkgs of brats

Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy 12 pk bottles, price cut $10.49 (best deal I have seen by $2)
*Note: I have also seen Rebates available at grocery store liquor stores, when you purchase 2 12 packs any Leinenkugel's receive $5 Rebate.  If you were to purchase 2 of the above sale 12 pks, you would end up paying $7.50/12 pk.  Not bad!
