Harris Teeter Match ups - Jan 27
Click on the Grocery Tab above to get list of matchups or click here.
NOTE: If you encounter a mistake or broken link, please let me know so I can correct.
Don't forget to visit BeCentsAble and Inexpensively for additional grocery matchups throughout the country. There are many match ups around the country on the same grocery store
Special Note: Harris Teeter stores around the country seem to run the same sales. SWS matchups are based on the Georgia Times Union. Someone doing match ups in another state or town will be matching up using flyers from a different paper. If using these sites, there will be times when you won't have the coupon or the price varies. So if you are using another site, do not get discouraged if you do not find the coupon -- mostly likely it was not in your flyer. For the most part, I would say they are about 85% the same with 15% variances. Price variances example: Savings With Sadie may match a coupon for Breakstone .55/1 and another match up site may have have $1/2.

Old Time Candy Store - What was your favorite candy in the 50's, 60's and 70's?
Step back in time and take a look at some of the
My favorites were Wax Lips and Candy Cigarettes.
During the month of January, use CODE 04587 to get a 10% discount on orders. The code can be used for an unlimited number of orders and for anything the Old Time Candy Store sells... there are no restrictions.
Coupon Refresher
The Nielsen Company—the people responsible for getting good TV shows canceled—just released a survey of coupon users. It turns out affluent consumers (those who make $70k or more annually) use coupons more frequently than the average U.S. household. Those who use coupons the least are from either low-income, one-member, male-only, African-American, or Hispanic households. For a full read, click here to visit The Consumerist.What are Match Ups?
A match up is when an item is on sale and you match a coupon to that item for a greater discount. A good couponer strives for rock bottom pricing. As you become a better shopper and learn about stockpiling, you are aware of pricing and know when an item has reached it's lowest price. Even a novice couponer can save up to 50% off of their grocery bill. If you average spending $8,000 a year on groceries, you can easily cut your expenses by 50%. For me personally, I save the most on household items.
I don't have time to price match? Where DoI Get My Match Ups?
You don't have to price match. It is all over the internet. With the internet you have hundreds of sites that offer you free match ups. Most sites hope you enjoy their site and come back often and follow as a reader. You can sign up for email updates and have the posts delivered to your in box. Savings With Sadie provides match ups and links to other match up sites as well. See SWS sample here.
Where do I get my coupons?
Coupons are available in larger newspapers. Buy the biggest Sunday paper you can find at your local convenience store or subscribe to just the Sunday edition if possible. For Georgia Times Union information for the Brunswick area, click here. If you can't get a paper, there are 1,000's of coupons available on the internet everyday. SWS has hundreds available on the GROCERY page in the nav bar: Coupon.com, Smart Source, and Red Plum. Note: Coupons vary by region and paper. You may be using someone's site that is matching with a Florida or South Carolina. It is very likely that you won't have a few of the coupons or that the coupons will vary by price. For the most part they are 85% the same. When Savings With Sadie is able to matchup, the Georgia Times Union flyers are used.
Aren't Most Coupons For Junk Food?
Not at all! There have always been your conventional coupons for processed foods, frozen meals, kids treats and, canned foods, but times have changed and now there are a lot of coupons available for healthy living products in the weekly flyers. You can also visit the manufacturer site directly and usually find coupons available. SWS posts coupon deal links often as well and a few you will find in the SWS Healthy Living section on the right sidebar.

High Levels of Lead Found In Ladies Handbags - Ladies This Is Worth The Read
Ladies you may want to take a look at the handbags in your closet. Fox News reported today that the Center for Environmental Health did a study and discovered high levels of lead in vinyl handbags. Research has found that even low levels of lead can cause neurological damage, heart disease and other health issues in children and adults.
The lead can rub off on to your hands and could enter the body via mouth and nose. How many children have you seen putting mama's pocketbook strap in their mouth. BUT you don't have to put the strap in your mouth to have exposure. Just by touching it and rubbing your face, it can easily be ingested.
I could not find the current report that Fox was referencing but here is an informative article on Rodale's site regarding the Center for Environmental Health's finding back in April on lead in vinyl handbags and is worth the read. Many department stores are pulling vinyl handbags and I am sure we will be hearing more about this - at least I hope we do. Here is an excerpt from article...
Note: I am not sure how well lead testing kits work or even if you can use them on your vinyl pocketbooks but here is a test kit that Parent's magazine has mentioned previously.

I could not find the current report that Fox was referencing but here is an informative article on Rodale's site regarding the Center for Environmental Health's finding back in April on lead in vinyl handbags and is worth the read. Many department stores are pulling vinyl handbags and I am sure we will be hearing more about this - at least I hope we do. Here is an excerpt from article...
A new report from the environmental nonprofit Center for Environmental Health (CEH) claims that inexpensive faux-leather bags sold at department stores and discount retailers have levels of lead 90 times higher than the federal limit for lead in paint.
THE DETAILS: Scientists for CEH purchased dozens of faux-leather handbags, purses, and wallets from 21 California outlets of national chain stores, including Kohl’s, Target, Macy’s, JC Penney, H&M, Wal-Mart, Aldo’s, Ross, Forever 21, New York & Co., Sears, and DSW. They tested the outer surfaces of the faux leather, which was most often made of PVC or vinyl, but in some cases was made from other materials such as polyurethane. Handbags with high lead levels were found at all but five of the retailers. The worst offenders were bags that were yellow or yellow-tinted, but lead was found in bags of every color tested. The highest level of lead the scientists found was in a purse that contained 54,000 parts per million (ppm) of lead, which is 90 times higher than the federal limit of lead in paint (600 ppm). CEH is currently initiating litigation against the retailers for violating California’s strict Proposition 65 law, which requires a warning label on any product that would expose consumers to over 0.5 micrograms (mcg) of lead in a day.
At the same time as this report was released, a new study published in the journal Environmental Health found that women between the ages of 65 and 87 with high blood lead levels (over 8 mcg per deciliter) were nearly 60 percent more likely to die during the 12-year study than women with lower levels. The most common cause of death was coronary heart disease. The high lead levels were probably accumulated over a lifetime of exposure, says lead author Nadia Khalil, MD, PhD, MPH, postdoctoral research associate at Wright State University in Ohio. When lead gets into the human body, says Dr. Khalil, “it stays for a long, long time.” Most women begin to accumulate lead in their skeletons during the teen and childbearing years (just about the time those colorful, trendy, inexpensive vinyl purses look particularly attractive). But as people age, their bones start to break down and release that stored lead into the bloodstream, where it may lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, and strokes.For health reasons, you may want to start purchasing pocketbooks made from natural products and stay away from vinyl. Go Leather! I guess I will just have to quit buying all those cute inexpensive pocketbooks and pay big bucks for that cute designer bag I have had my eyes on. After all, it is all in the interest of my health!
Note: I am not sure how well lead testing kits work or even if you can use them on your vinyl pocketbooks but here is a test kit that Parent's magazine has mentioned previously.

Organic Labeling Has Four Categories
Did you know that there are four categories for organic foods with more than one ingredient? Here is how Publix explains it...
"The first three categories prohibit any ingredients produced using genetic engineering, irradiation, or sewage sludge.
- 100% organic: Only products that have been exclusively produced using organic methods carry this label.
- Organic: At least 95% of the ingredients (by weight, excluding water and salt) in products carrying this label must be organically produced.
- Made with organic: Products with 70 to 95% organic ingredients may display “Made with organic [with specific ingredient or ingredients listed]” on the front panel.
- Less than 70% organic: Products with less than 70% organic ingredients may list these specific items in the ingredient panel.
The actual percent of organic content may be displayed on all products, regardless of label category. However, the rule specifies the actual dimensions that are allowed in displaying the content, and, as noted earlier, the percentage for products with less than 70% organic ingredients can only be displayed in the information panel. In all four labeling categories, the product cannot use both organic and non-organic versions of the same ingredient.
Note that labels may also make other truthful claims about their food content, such as “natural,” “free-range,” and “hormone-free,” but these claims are not interchangeable with “organic.”
Tortillas In A Chinese Dish
Thank you Vocal Point for sharing this recipe. If you are trying to eat healthy, check it out and while you are at it, check out Vocal Point. Love their website.
1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp oil-packed minced garlic
2/3 cup hoisin sauce, divided (find in the international aisle; should be near soy sauce)
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 bags (8 oz each) stringless sugar snap peas
1 cup bagged shredded carrots
1 bunch scallions, all parts, cut into 3" lengths
10 (6"-wide) flour tortillas, heated
In a ziplock bag, combine chicken, garlic, and 1/3 cup of the hoisin sauce. Close tightly and massage to coat chicken evenly. Refrigerate, massaging occasionally, 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
Heat oil on a large stovetop griddle over medium-high heat. Add peas, carrots, and scallions. Cook, tossing occasionally, 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Scrape vegetables to one side.
Remove chicken from marinade. Discard marinade. Place chicken on the griddle. Cook about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 160°F and the juices run clear. Let chicken stand 5 minutes. Cut into thin slices.
Lay tortillas on a work surface. Spread some of the remaining hoisin sauce over each tortilla. Top with chicken and vegetables. Roll up like soft tacos.
Makes 6 servings.

Are You A Breakfast Eater?
UPDATE: Congrates to Sarah in MO - Winner.
Growing up, we weren't allowed to leave for school without eating breakfast. My mama made sure we got up early enough to eat cereal, eggs or oatmeal and left the house with a full tummy. I did the same with our daughter and now that she is in college, breakfast happens to be her favorite meal of the day. She even keeps cereal in her dorm room in case she is running late to class and can't make it to the cafeteria.
It is so important children eat before sending them off to school. Studies show that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office. More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.
Some of the benefits gained by ready-to-eat cereal eaters are that they consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children’s diets.
Recently, General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain.

Counterfeit Coupon Alert
Hot Coupon World has posted the following alert about counterfeit coupons floating around. I have not seen these coupons but am always leery of unknown sources and steer clear of such links. Remember folks, if it seems too good to be true - it usually is...
"A group of individuals has recently created an unknown number of counterfeit coupons and collected numerous other counterfeits from a variety of sources. These counterfeits have been compiled into a single large file and posted on several web sites. As of this date, this file, and variations thereof, includes approximately 70 counterfeit coupons.
At the time of this writing, we believe many of these counterfeit coupons were created using an instruction manual and standardized templates. As such, they tend to share certain characteristics, including:
1. A Smartsource Internet Print at Home Coupon format (approximately half of the known counterfeits in the currently-identified file)
2. Many, but not all, have a 12/31/2010 Expiration Date
3. Usually print several counterfeits on each page
4. High values, making the product free or almost free
5. A CMS mailing address
6. High quality images of the product on the far left of the coupon
7. Coupons will be printed on home/office equipment
8. Some, but not all, of the counterfeits will scan at a different value than stated."

Five Factor World Diet
This morning, on the Today Show, Harley Pasternack was promoting his new book, The 5-Factor World Diet
where he reveals weight loss secrets and offers healthy food choices.
It has been said time and time again that the U.S. has the highest rate of obesity than any other country. Some of the countries with the longest life span are: Italy, Japan, China, Singapore, Sweden, France and Greece.
Pasternack shares his insights into international diets and gives an example of some of the main ingredients used in a few of these countries every day diet...
Italy:
"Between recording music, filming movies, and designing my fashion line, I’m a busy woman. That's why I love Harley’s plan! I get the most results in the least amount of time. The meals are delicious and I never feel like I'm on a diet."—Jessica Simpson
“Harley’s 5-factor food tips, menu plans, and philosophy on nutrition helped me get the body I have today! They also gave me more energy and helped me feel healthier. Harley knows what he’s talking about–his knowledge of the human body is based on extensive medical studies, so he understands the effects of exercise and nutrition on the body. Ask him a question: You just can’t stump him!”—Vanessa Williams
"Harley's 5-Factor World Diet goes where no diet has gone before! He takes the best of global nutrition and gives it back to us in an accessible and delicious package. It's as inspiring as it is effective!"—Jillian Michaels, author of Master Your Metabolism and Making the Cut
"Harley’s approach to a healthy lifestyle makes so much sense. It’s easy to start doing, and keep doing!"—Jeff Goldblum"
Are you eating healthier in 2010?
where he reveals weight loss secrets and offers healthy food choices.
It has been said time and time again that the U.S. has the highest rate of obesity than any other country. Some of the countries with the longest life span are: Italy, Japan, China, Singapore, Sweden, France and Greece.
Pasternack shares his insights into international diets and gives an example of some of the main ingredients used in a few of these countries every day diet...
Italy:
- Olive Oil
- Tomato
- Beans
- Chic Peas
- Whole Wheat Pasta
- Basil and Oregano
Japan
- Soy
- Seafood
- Soba
- Green Tea
Pasternack notes in his book that the Japanese stop eating when they are 70 - 80 % full, wait 20 minutes and if they are still hungry, continue eating. I guess the key is to enjoy your meal and eat slow and give your brain time to tell your tummy it is full.
Sweden
- Whole Grains: Heavy, Dark and Rich
- Yogurts
- Berries
- Potatoes
- Dairy is huge part of the Swedish diet.
I have not seen any reviews on this book other than the one's below but everything Paternack says makes sense. Might be worth checking out. You know when you start adding more than five ingredients, the recipe is taking on a life of its on and probably not as healthy as one with basic ingredients. Start reading your labels. He compares a snack bar in Japan that might have five ingredients whereas a snack bar in the U.S. may have ten to 15.
Remember to keep it simple and demand less preservatives and less chemicals. The food items listed above are not out of the ballpark expensive. They are very affordable and easily accessible. How do you demand healthier products? Stop buying junk! Eventually, the manufacturers will be forced to produce healthier food choices with less additives.

Editorial Review from Amazon:
“Harley’s ‘World Diet’ proves that dieting doesn’t have to be boring or difficult. Who knew that you could still eat the world’s most delicious foods and lose weight?!”—Hilary Duff

Organic Sangria Recipe
1 bottle organic sweet red wine (table wine)
1 bottle organic sweet white wine (Riesling)
1 cup organic lemonade mix or fresh if you have it made up
1 cup organic cane sugar
2 organic oranges (juiced)
2 organic limes (juiced)
1 organic peach sliced into long thin wedges
2 cups organic strawberries cut into large chunks (cut each strawberry into four)
1 small organic pineapple, diced and juice
1 liter bottle organic ginger ale
In a large glass pitcher-pour in the two bottles of organic wines. Add fresh organic orange, lime, lemon juices, lemonade mix, sugar, and fresh fruits. Chill in the refrigerator. Right before serving the organic sangria add ginger ale and ice.
NOTE: do not add the ginger ale too early or the sangria will loose its bubbles and then it takes on a heavier body similar to a fruit punch.
This recipe came from Organic Food Coupons website. Of course, if you are not interested in organic, you may purchase non-organic products and follow the same recipe.

All Laundry Detergent for .50
This week at Big Lot's, All Laundry Detergent is on sale 2 for $5, but since Big Lots does not accept coupons, you could price match at Walmart and use the 1/3 RP coupon for $2/1 and get for .50. Here is a link to Walmart's price match policy. If you are planning a trip to Target, they also price match and you can read their policy here. I recommend you take a printed copy of the policy with you so that you don't have any bumps in the road.
This laundry detergent sells for $6.29 at Harris Teeter and $7.99 at Rite-Aid. I noticed the other day at the dermatologist's office that they had the All Free & Clear detergent displayed. If you or someone in your family has allergies you may want to try the Free & Clear. (No dyes, no perfumes and no preservatives.) This is the one I prefer and is also is HE which is even better.
Many of you probably have three or four of the $2 coupons but for those that don't have any, you can print an on-line coupon here and here for $1 and snag the detergent for $1.50 which is still a great deal. You can print up to two on the second link.
Thanks Centsible-Sawyer for the heads up and thank you Pam and Brittany at Target for ease of check out.
Note: The Nivea Body Wash was on sale for $2.99 and you can use your $2/1 in the 1/3 RP as well as Target's instore Q for $1/1 which makes it FREE.

Mamavation
Guest posting is fellow blogger and networking friend Katie Hostetter at Frugal Femina - We are pulling for her to be one of the Mamavation finalists. Here is Katie's post...
If you follow me on Twitter, you know exactly what the word "mamavation" means, because I have been eating, sleeping, and breathing it since I applied on January 1st. I am fortunate to have some followers left! :-) Basically, it's a 7-week boot camp to help 2 moms get fit in 2010, and it's supported by Smooth Fitness, Earth Footwear, EA SPORTS Active, Gaiam, Bookie Boo, and MomTV. The team gives you a ton of support with a nutritional plan, a fitness program, and much more! You can watch my application video and read all about my lil' journey over at Frugal Femina.
I am so blessed to have made it into the top 5 finalists. Now I need you to vote daily so I can make it into the final 2! I already shared my measurements with thousands of people, so you know I am committed! ;-) But seriously, this is all part of my quest to make 2010 one of the most positive years ever. I'm finishing up my last semester of nursing school, reading through the Bible in 90 days, taking care of Xon and Bradley {aka Hubs and Little Munchkin}, and trying to take care of myself, too! I'm not Superwoman, but I do want to focus on good things this year and surround myself with good friends and family.
So I'm hopin' you'll cheer me on and head on over to Mamavation and vote. You can vote once a day from each IP address through the 21st. And I won't mind a bit if you happen to spread the word amongst your friends. :-) Maybe I can encourage you all along the way! Mamavation is a great network of support, and you can be involved whether you have 200 pounds to lose or 0. We all need to stay healthy and fit!
Special thanks to Andrea at Mommy Snacks for being my Fit Friend and encouraging me throughout this campaign.

Tiramisu: All The Way From Italy
Here is the Tiramisu recipe from the cooking school in Florence at il Gatto e la Volpe, Via Ghibellina, 151/r, Firenze. Thanks to Anna for getting the recipe from the chef and sharing with our group. There were some of us in the class that were a little more interested in the wine than dessert and our attention was elsewhere. Overall the class was fun -- crowded -- but lots of socializing and laughs.
6 eggs, separated
500 grams (approximately 2 cups) mascarpone cheese
5 tablespoons sugar
Italian ladyfinger biscuits (cookies)
Espresso coffee
Whisk egg yolks and sugar until the color changes to a light yellow color. Gradually add mascarpone cheese and work it until it is even and without lumps.
Whip the whites into a meringue and fold into the mascarpone/yolk mixture.
Dip cookies into the espresso and make a layer of cookies. Spread a layer of the cream on top and then more cookies and continue in this fashion ending with cream on top. I think that they probably sprinkled cocoa or espresso powder on top.
Serves 6-8 people
