Good afternoon everyone! I just finished my interview with Teri from The Grocery Game. She was very friendly and I’m so impressed at how she has builther company from scratch. She answered a lot of our questions and I’m anxious to share this information with you.
I’m busy packing and moving out of the area, but hopefully tonight I can get the information to you. Stay tuned!

Today’s Thursday Cleaning Challenge is a common forgettable event for everyone! I can’t tell you the last time I did this until today.
Pull out the dryer and clean out as much of the lint line as you can. Start with the lint filter. Take a toothbrush and mild soap and scrub until water runs through it. then take off the vent hose and clean out the outtake (whatever thingamajig) vent hose and clean it as well. Each year hundreds of fires start because of the dryer. Don’t put yourself through that horrible ordeal on accident.

Each month, Food Lion puts printable money saving coupons in their Baby Care section. Of course, some months the coupons are better than other months and this month the coupons are pretty good!
- $2 off any Gerber accessories
- $1.50 off any Huggies, Pull Ups, or Goodnites
- .50 off any one Huggies baby wipes or bath products
- .75 off Playtex cups
- $1.50 off any Food Lion diapers or wipes
- .75 of any 15-20 oz fl Baby Care items (includes baby oil, shampoo, and skincare)
My favorite ones are the $1.50 off wipes and 75 cents off shampoo and skincare. This is because these items will be cheap or almost free with the coupon.
Be sure your printer is on when you click print and it’s also a good idea to tell your printer to print more than one copy. Sometimes the site will only let you print the coupons one time.
Which of these coupons will you be using?

So I went to the store the other day and had just gotten back from the bank. Normally, if you know me, stealing my purse will get you about $3 in change. But I gave the clerk a $100 bill. She had no idea how to make the change and had to call a supervisor. Am I missing something? Don’t you have to know how to subtract and add to graduate from jr high?
The moral of this story is to ALWAYS count your change and make sure you get the correct change. Don’t worry about offending someone. I have found that most cashiers can’t make change if they have to manually figure out your change.

I love deviled eggs. I also love variations. So when I came across this recipe, i tried it and loved it! Hope you enjoy.
Ingredients needed:
- 12 eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons finely shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- paprika to sprinkle
Directions:
- Place eggs in a saucepan, and cover with cold water.
- Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat.
- Cover, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove from hot water, and cool.
- To cool more quickly, rinse eggs under cold running water.
- Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet.
- Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown.
- Alternatively, wrap bacon in paper towels and cook in the microwave for about 1 minute per slice.
- Crumble and set aside.
- Peel the hard-cooked eggs, and cut in half lengthwise.
- Remove yolks to a small bowl.
- Mash egg yolks with mayonnaise, crumbled bacon, cheese, and pepper.
- Stir in mustard.
- Fill egg white halves with the yolk mixture and refrigerate until serving.

Tip: Put your yolk mixture in a sandwich bag and work the mixture into a corner. Cut a tiny piece off the corner ad use the bag as a dispenser to make your eggs look beautiful.
