Reese Baking Challenge Recipe: Slam Dunk Sweet and Savory REESE’S Bacon Caramel Corn

March 11, 2013 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

When I was asked to create a recipe for the REESE’S and Walmart Baking Bracket Challenge, I knew I needed to do something truly unique, yet tasty.  It had to be tasty because, well, what good is a recipe that isn’t?  It had to be unique because it was going to be one of 32… Keep Reading

Review: Rachel Ray Cookware Line at Walmart

March 9, 2013 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 1 Comment

So who here likes Rachael Ray?  I admit it-I’ve never really watched her show, but I’ve taken several of her cookbooks out of the library and enjoyed them.  Yes-I read cookbooks.  It’s a sickness. . . Walmart just started carrying a new line of Rachael Ray cookware both online (live today-March 9th) and soon in… Keep Reading

Valentines Day Pancakes!

February 8, 2013 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

What would you do with a bag of NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE Valentines Morsels?  That’s the dilemma I was faced with.  The folks at Nestle and Walmart sent me a package to try out.  These are chocolate morsels that are colored both red and brown–so I knew they’d make pretty chocolate chip cookies for Valentines day. … Keep Reading

Valentines Day is right around the corner!  Walmart asked me to see just how many Valentines gifts I could pick up on a $30 budget. Before I get to the items I chose (and I was surprised by how much I got!) I’d like to explain my philosophy about Valentines Day.  I know that many… Keep Reading

Review: Oral B Professional Care 1000

February 4, 2013 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

I’m a big believer in regular dental care–I guess it’s because my mom was always big on it.  Growing up she made sure all five of us went to the dentist every 6 months.  We got fluoride treatments, regular x-rays and when they first came out with those dental sealants for your rear molars she… Keep Reading

Review: Create Your Own Conversation Hearts

February 2, 2013 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 3 Comments

When it comes to Valentines Day–Brach’s Conversation Hearts are iconic. I remember getting them back in “the day” at school parties.  You’d read them, trade them, and try to figure out if the messages on them actually *meant* something depending on who gave them to you.  🙂  Some people love the way they taste, some… Keep Reading

There is a famous saying from the Great Depression: “Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without!” As a frugal gal, I try to live by this as much as possible.  I’m the lady who is driving a 10 year old Chevy Blazer and when my mechanic asked me how long… Keep Reading
