Personally I hate to rush the holiday season-I really enjoy taking each one as it comes and savoring it rather than rushing through to be on to the next.  But when you’ve got a budget to think about and a family to craft, DIY and shop for it actually is NOT too early to start… Keep Reading

Review: Mrs Meyers

September 10, 2012 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 5 Comments

A few weeks ago Walmart sent me some of the Mrs Meyers Clean Day Aromatherepeudic products to try.  I’ve used Mrs Meyers hand soap before–I really enjoy the lovely scents and the fact that all their products are earth friendly as well: FOR GENERATIONS we’ve had to put up with harsh chemical smells to get… Keep Reading

Steak with Bacon Blue Cheese Butter for Labor Day!

August 29, 2012 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 4 Comments

When you think “great steak” do you think Walmart”? Yeah.  I didn’t either.  But Walmart asked me to try their Premium Beef and create a Labor Day BBQ-so I figured what the heck. You see, Walmart knew that folks were not impressed with their steak selection, and they decided to make a change.  They took… Keep Reading

Trying something new: Plantains!

August 26, 2012 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 1 Comment

I like trying new things in the kitchen-so this latest project from Walmart was especially fun for me!  Have you ever tried Plantains? Plantians look like bananas, but don’t be fooled~and don’t try to eat them raw.  These interesting vegetables are high in vitamins A & C and have 4G of fiber per servings.  Not… Keep Reading

Princess is SUPER excited about starting middle school this year.  She moves to a new building and is on her way to being a teen–something that she thinks is going to be the most awesome thing ever (as much as I tell her that most of us wouldn’t be teens again for love or money). … Keep Reading

Walmart Challenge: Strawberry Cream S’mores

August 14, 2012 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 4 Comments

Who doesn’t like S’mores?  Hot gooey marshmallows.  Melting chocolate.  The crunch of a graham cracker.  Mmmmm. Walmart asked me to make and photograph a creative interpretation of the classic s’mores recipe.  The field was wide open.  I decided I had to do something fun.  Something different.  Something pin-able 😉 Now I’m quite familiar with all… Keep Reading

Packing lunches for the kids is something I really enjoy doing. Well, ok, at 6:30 in the morning when I’m actually doing it I don’t know that I would say that I’m having a fun time.  But I enjoy knowing exactly what is in the kiddos lunch.  I like having control over the quality of… Keep Reading
