Let me tell you about FLAVORx

January 21, 2015 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

I hate the flavor of banana.  Not real bananas, those are tasty.  But that “banana candy” flavor (that doesn’t taste like a real fresh one)–I can’t stand that.  Blech.  Makes me want to gag. You know why?  Well when I was a kid I had a lot of urinary tract infections–for some reason I was… Keep Reading

Greek Cream Cheese Cookie Truffles!

December 31, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

Kids (and adults) seem to just love carbs and sugar–so I’m always trying to balance that out with some protien. That’s one of the things I think is neat about the Green Mountain Farms Greek Cream Cheese–It’s really a combination of cream cheese and greek yogurt that has 4X the protien and half the fat… Keep Reading

Here’s a fun dessert perfect for New Years Eve or you next party of any kind–Dessert Shooters! Have you seen these petite sized desserts at restaurants over the last few years?  It’s a brilliant idea–since these desserts are just a few bites in size people can order one with less guilt.  If you can’t make… Keep Reading

Got a little one? “Stock Up and Save” on baby essentials!

December 26, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

My baby years are in the past (and my grandbaby years are far far in the future!) but I still remember the chaos having little ones in diapers causes. All the extra stuff to tote along every time you left the house. Multiple diaper changes, the inevitable “blow outs” (which always happened at the worst… Keep Reading

It’s after lunch on Christmas Eve. . . have you finished your shopping yet?  Or do you still have one or two things to pick up in a last minute run to Walmart?  If you’ve got a special kiddo (or someone who is a big kid at heart) here is a last minute gift they… Keep Reading

Interactive toys

December 20, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

Where can you get the Top 20 toys Chosen by Kids  for Christmas?  At Walmart of course!  They are the only retailer who went out and asked the folks who know best–kids themselves!  Back in October hundreds of kids ages 18mo-12 years old got the opportunity to try out the newest toys and give their… Keep Reading

How Does Your (Aero)-Garden Grow?

December 20, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago I showed you the AeroGarden 3SL with Gourmet Herb 3 Pod Seed Kit from Walmart that I had set up.  What a neat little unit.  It costs just $49.97, holds three pods and takes up almost no space at all. The Miracle-Gro® AeroGarden® 3SL is a soil-free indoor garden-all of the… Keep Reading

Christmas Fragrance at Walmart ~ Plus $4 coupon!

December 19, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 1 Comment

Every family has their little Christmas gifting traditions.  When I was growing up my mom used to always make sure we each got, among our gifts, a book and some music (tape or CD back in those days). For some families it may be an orange in their stocking, a new pair of pajamas, or… Keep Reading

Last Minute Gifts from Walmart

December 18, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

Can you believe it’s only a week until Christmas?  Why does it just seem to sneak up on us every single year?  This year I’m a bit farther ahead then usual, but there are still those last minute items I need to pick up.  Stocking stuffers.  Gifts to round out someones “pile”.  Sometimes even gifts… Keep Reading
