Money Saving Monday: Saving Mushroom$
2 CommentsI hate throwing food away. Especially when it has slid to the back of the refrigerator & been forgotten.
Mushrooms often are that way around here. We open a package and use 4-5 and then the rest well when I find them a week later they just go in the trash. I HATE that because it feels like I am throwing $ in the trash. Which in a way I guess I am.
My brilliant hubby read the package of the mushrooms(I swear I’ve never seen this) and it said to put the unused mushrooms in a paper bag in the frig.
He did that & told me about it later. Then I promptly forgot about them. When I went to make a recipe that needed a few mushrooms I stomped my food & said “I bet those are BAD!” Frustrated I opened the bag and WOW they were fine! A little dried out and wrinkly but not slimy and bruised as they are usually in the blue container they come home in.
So I am not out to save the world just trying to save a few bucks & mushrooms along the way. Do you have any cool tricks to share on how to keep food fresh a bit longer?

Super Swagbucks Friday
1 Comment
I love FREE stuff but when I started trying to earn Swagbucks my family thought I was CRAZY! They have changed their tune now. We’ve earned 11 Amazon Gift Cards for $5. That is just from everyday searching. I don’t try to earn a bunch but it just happens. How easy is that? You can also redeem your “bucks” for Sephora or Starbucks gift cards, iPhones, HD Digital Camcorders and more!
Have you checked out Swagbucks?
If not, you are seriously missing out!
Fridays are Mega Swagbucks days where you can earn Swagbucks in increments of 100, 200, 500 and even 1000! It’s the best day for searching! I saved up our Gift Cards for presents & also used them for school books. It is so handy to have those available!
Remember, slow and stead wins the race. This is no overnight get rich thing but through the year you will get items just by searching. I love it!
The best way to remember to search is by downloading the Swagbucks Toolbar, so it’s right in front of you.
Interested in checking it out? Go to Swagbucks & see how easy it is to earn free stuff! I do get a referral(which means more FREE stuff for me—thanks!!!!) if you decide to try it out.

The fun thing is that the sweet little one isn’t in her daddy’s arms. Children outnumber the adults most Sunday mornings.
We like it that way. Children are precious.
Everyone pitches in and it isn’t unusual to see a little one asleep on someone’s lap and the parents aren’t anywhere close by.
I don’t know about a village raising a child but I do know that a church should play a vital role. We love, encourage, warn, provide mentors, teach, play with the children. It is a vital role in their lives.
Definitely a Finer Thing!
