I mentioned Kraft's First Taste program a few weeks back and how they send out great coupons for free products to their members. Well, General Mills appears to be jumping on the bandwagon, too! They started their Pssst… program last year but I'd not heard much from it. However, just this past week, they sent out a coupon for a free product to all of their members and they are promising more such coupons.
So, if you like trying new products make sure you are signed up for not only the Kraft First Taste program, but also the General Mills Pssst… program, too. I say the more freebies, the better!

I posted the Huggies scenario on the Rite Aid weekly deal post late on Saturday night without double-checking my facts and discovered this morning that it was incorrect. However, the deal scenarios are still plenty sweet.
Here is the updated (and hopefully accurate!) information:
Items include: Huggies Supreme or Huggies Snug and Dry diapers (34-60 count); Pull-ups Training Pants (33 count); GoodNites Underpants (27 count); Little Swimmers swim diapers (10-12 pack); Huggies Wipes (184-232 count), among a number of other products. Go here to see the entire list.
There is also Rite Aid rebate for $2 when you buy a Huggies Mega Pack (see rebate #53). Plus,
there is another Rite Aid for a free pack of Huggies when
you buy 5 packs of participating Huggies packs (mega packs and swim diapers–see rebate #800). You can submit for all of these rebates to really sweeten the deal!
Here are some scenario ideas which Heather (the Krazy Coupon Lady) graciously compiled and shared with me. Please note that according to Charlene, some of these products will be on sale during the week of July 12 so if you're willing to hold off until then, these could be quite a bit cheaper or even a money-maker deal.

Buy 1 large Huggies wipes refill (184-ct.) at $6.99

Use $3/1 Pull-Ups coupon here (or $2/1 from the 5/17 SmartSource insert)

Final out-of-pocket for both scenarios: $35.96 plus tax
Submit for Rebate #61 to get $25 Gift Card and submit for Rite Aid Rebate #53 for $2

*Huggies Diapers Scenario (with thanks to Kay)
Transaction #1:
Buy 1 Mega pack of Huggies diapers at $19.99
Buy 1 Jumbo pack of Huggies diapers at $11.49
Use $5/$25 Rite Aid Coupon
Use 2 $1.50/1 coupons from the 6/21 SmartSource insert
Transaction #2 :

Final Price After Rebates: $21.45 plus tax for 1 mega pack and 5 jumbo packages of Huggies diapers
Plus, you should be able to submit your receipt to The Caregiver's Marketplace for an additional $3.00-$4.50 rebate, depending upon what qualifies.
I think the math and products on these scenarios should be correct. Let me know if you see any mistakes.

I'm excited that this week is the Fourth of July! We're heading to Kansas City for a few days for a family vacation and very much looking forward to that.
Since our family is still small and eating out is still fairly economical, we usually "splurge" on vacations and bring very little of our own food. Instead, we eat out or get quick-fix foods at the grocery store while we're gone. It makes it much more relaxing for me to not have to worry about planning, packing, and fixing food for a few days and it truly makes it more of a vacation for me!
Because of this, I'm only planning four days' worth of meals for this week:
Breakfasts
Strawberry smoothies, toast
Waffles, cantaloupe, yogurt
Banana bread, scrambled eggs, fresh carrot/apple juice
Oatmeal, fruit
Lunches
Homemade pigs in a blanket, cucumber slices, apple slices
Homemade Pita Pockets with melted cheese, peas, fruit
PB&J, carrots
Tossed salad with hard-boiled eggs, crackers and cheese
Dinners
French Toast with fresh-whipped cream and homemade strawberry syrup, cantaloupe
Chicken Tetrazinni, homemade bread, green beans, grapefruit
Meatballs, homemade bread, sliced cucumbers, baked potatoes, green beans
Homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza, fruit
Snacks
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Blueberry Streusel Muffins
Crackers and cheese
Apples
Carrot sticks
Granola bars
For those who may have missed it, you can see what we purchased at the store this past week here. However, do remember that that is not all we're using to make the above food and meals since we shop using the "Buy-Ahead Principle".
Do you bring your own food when you go on vacation or do you splurge and eat out/buy quick-fix foods or a little of both? If you bring your own food, I'd love to hear what you bring and how you pull it off. It seems like a lot of work to me, but I'm guessing that as our children grow older, eating out is going to be much less feasible and much more expensive so I'd love to hear your ideas and suggestions!
