The $25 gift certificates, normally $10, are $2 each with the code. The $10 certificates, normally $3, are a WHOPPING 60 cents each with the code.

I have used the certificates twice in my area alreay and they worked perfectly. Just make sure you read the restrictions to see if there is a minimum purchase.

How expensive were my cheap shoes?

Generally, I tend to lean towards purchasing items for quality and not so much quantity. I am definitely running out of closet space and I am really amazed by the amount of laundry I have every week. I ran across a website http://www.flyjane.net/ (I think I saw it on cheapchica.com, I ADORE her by the way) and I became totally enamored with SEVERAL pairs of shoes. I succumbed and placed an order. I received my box on Saturday and I have waited a couple of days to write this review.
I bought these: $29.90
And these: $19.99

And I have to say, “MY FLIPPING FEET WERE KILLING ME!”

The yellow shoes are extremely dangerous!
Now, I am no shoe novice and completely live by the “beauty is pain” theory but this is ridiculous. I wore the yellow beauties to church ( I live in Florida by the way) with a yellow NY & Co. cardigan and black skirt from Layers (here’s the skirt: http://www.layersclothing.com/jillian.php LUST!).

I received sooo many compliments but the tears that glistened in my eyes at church was not because I felt the “spirit”. I did not take the shoes off at all during church as much as I wanted to and as my husband suggested. My 96-year old granny that always wore a pillbox hat & white gloves to church would have turned over in her grave if I had. I REALLY want these babies to work. What can I say, I am in love!

I went today and bought a shoe stretcher ($16.99 but I have been meaning to buy one), gel insoles ($8.99), & shoe pads (4.00 SALE). I have had the augmented shoes on for several hours while washing dishes, doing homework, & walking to the mailbox (I looked ridiculous, by the way). My feet feel fine. FINALLY. Were the shoes really a good deal? Me thinks not!

I haven’t tried the black ones yet. J

Heating up the kitchen!

I ran across an Eversave Budget Friendly Cookbook. There are eight recipes (I haven't tried any yet). Every good cook knows you can tweak them if necessary.

Here's the download:

C:\Documents and Settings\nrivers\Desktop\8-budget-friendly-cookbook-091608.pdf

Speaking of recipes, I have to share something. I ran across a recipe the other day on a Campbell's can of "Cream of Shrimp" soup. I turned it into a sort of "Creole shrimp stew".
My husband loves Cajun food.

Ingredients:
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Shrimp Soup
1 can of milk
1 bag of medium size shrimp (71-90 count), I used the frozen kind
Green Onions
1 cup of white rice, I used the frozen steam bag (5 minutes, perfectly done! I LUV it!)
Spinach leaves (the recipe called for celery but we don't like it)
Creole Seasoning
Paprika
Black pepper

I cooked the soup first and set it to the side. I steamed (microwaved) the bag of rice and set that to the side while I cooked the shrimp (until pink) in olive oil, seasoning and a bit of butter. I added the green onions & spinach leaves to the shrimp and let them simmer for a while and I added the white rice to the soup. I then mixed it all together in a bigger pan and top it with the Creole seasoning for spiciness. VIOLA! Yumminess! I think this took 15 minutes tops.
I did this all while wearing the dress and heels I wore to work and served my husband. :-)

By the way, I got a hellafied "thank you" that night!
