That is right penny pinchers.  No coupons this Sunday.  Be sure to donate the rest of your paper to an animal shelter so they can use it in the bottom of the cages.

Bath & Body Works is having a memorial day sale!  But 3 get 3 FREE from their signature collection.  Save up to $88.50.  Sounds like a good way to pinch pennies to me!!

This was something that I discovered after Christmas this past year.  I know this recipe/procedure is as old as the hills but it is pretty new to me.  So here is my step by step on how I did it.

Start with Sweetened condensed milk.  NOT evaporated milk.  Be sure to use a coupon when you but it!

Remove the label.  I used an exact-o knife.

Put in a large pot. (really needed a picture for this one, right?)

Cover with water.  Be sure to keep the cans submerged in water.  Boil for 1 1/2 hours.  (The water will not come to a rolling boil…just a rumbling simmer)  Add more water if the water drops below the top of the cans.  What is happening is the sugars and the milk are caramelizing in the can as the water boils.  Remove from the water and cool completely.  I have to rinse off the cans once cooled because my water is so hard it leaves mineral deposits on the cans.  I think it looks bad so I wash it off.  If you are lucky this won’t happen to you.

Print out a label and give as a gift.  If you like this label download it HERE.  This label is NOT for commercial use.

Give the can with a couple of apples and you have a great teacher gift or thank you gift.

With summer here we will be playing with a lot of bubbles.  I also wanted bubbles that would last and last.  So through google I found THIS web site and this is my interpretation of the instructions:

Supplies:

1. Glycerin ( found in my pharmacy section of the grocery store)
2. Generic KY personal lubricant
3. Dawn detergent ( I could only find the ultra concentrate.  regular is optimal)
4. Distilled water
5. CLEAN gallon jug.

Step 1

Measure 2 cups of the distilled water and microwave it for 1 minute to warm it up. Pour into the clean gallon jug.

Step 2

Squeeze 2 oz of the personal lubricant into the water.  Gently swirl the water around to dilute the lubricant.

Step 3

Pour 2 oz. of the glycerin into the jug.  Swirl to combine.

Step 4

Pour 12 oz. of the Dawn into jug.  Swirl oh so gently.  Do your best not to get foam.

Step 5

Pour out enough of your distilled water so the bubble solution will be able to fit back in.  BUT WAIT!!  Don’t pour it back in till tomorrow.  Your bubble solution needs to rest over night.  Once it has rested over night you are able to pour it back into the distilled water bottle.  Now keep the cap on tight and swirl gently to combine.

I will get you some bubble pictures in the next day or two.  Enjoy!!!

If you are heading to Walgreens today or tomorrow be sure to print off this coupon for $5 off a $25 purchase or more.  Click the image for the link to the coupon.  It is easy to spend $25 at Walgreens (before coupons that is!) so why not take $5 off?  Enjoy!

I am a little slow these days.  I missed out of the FREE flatbread melt but there are still coupon for $1.50 off to be printed.  HERE is you link.  Be sure to print it twice.  Now wait for a great sale and pinch those pennies!!
