I was surprised to see a Dollar General flier in today’s paper( sale 1/27-2/4), and it is full of great deals for Super Bowl Parties! Here are a few of the deals that caught my eye:

  • Bonus Sized Pringles 7.26-7.5 oz Assorted Flavors $1.00 ea
  • Bounty Basic Paper Towels 1 Roll $1.00

We might just have to throw a Super Bowl Party after all ;)

Yahoo For Bento!

I’m so happy that I picked up the Bento kits, they have made a big difference at Dinner-time. Thade is a very picky eater, but he will give new foods a try if they are presented to him in the Bento. Last night he had Salmon Cakes, Salad with Croutons and Bacos, and Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, if he ate well.

 

He looked at the Salad, and asked what it was, that usually means he isn’t going to try it. He tried a bite, and actually liked it, in fact he ate about half of it :) He also ate an entire Salmon Cake too! No complaints either, it was a Dinner-time Success!

 

If you have a picky eater like me, I highly recommend purchasing a Bento Kit, this one was definitely worth the price ($1.00 at the Dollar Tree). Last nights meal was one that Thade has had before, and it was also one that he has not wanted to eat before. This time when I presented the dinner in a different way, he happily finished a meal!

We went to Dollar Tree (thanks Mimi) to look for Party Decorations for Thade’s Birthday Party. I came home with some pretty cool finds, and I’m on track with my Party Budget too!

 

I had to splurge just a bit, when I spotted the Hello Kitty Bento kits, I have been looking at these on E-bay, but I didn’t want to pay the E-bay price for them. At just $1.00 each, I grabbed 2, and a really cool Spiderman Placemat for Thade.

I only spent $9.66, and I got just about everything that was on my decoration list! Now if I can only find a Thomas the Train Bento set at Dollar Tree :)
