Kellogg's Gas Rewards arrived

Remember this? On April 4 I told you about buying 90 boxes of cereal and getting 30 gallons of milk for free AND submitting for the Kellogg's Gas Rewards Card Rebate. My rebates arrived! They come in the form of prepaid MasterCards and are good on more than just gas. There's still time to get the Rewards Card. If another great Kellogg's cereal deal comes up, I will let you know. Keep in mind, you do not need receipts, just UPCs from select Kellogg's cereals.

Still time for 2 FREE collage prints

Walgreens has two codes for free 8x10 collage prints.You can use both codes per account, just not in the same order.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! We hunted eggs yesterday and this morning my kids enjoyed hard boiled eggs for breakfast.

No coupon inserts in the newspaper today!

Easy Hard Boiled Eggs

My kids love hard boiled eggs and I boil up a dozen or so per week. It doesn't matter what color the yolk is, my kids throw it out, but for those who care, this is the easiest way I have found that does not produce green/gray yolks.

Place eggs in a pot and cover the eggs with water






Cover pot
Cook on high until a rolling boil
Once rolling boil is achieved, leave covered, turn off burner and set timer to 14 minutes (I do not remove from burner)




Shock eggs by taking them out of the pot with a slotted spoon and placing in cold water








Enjoy!






Fred Meyer: 18 count eggs 3/$5 with in-ad coupon, limit 3

20 gallons of milk...easy come, easy go

Last week I mentioned getting 90 boxes of Kellogg's cereals and 30 catalinas good for free milk. I'm happy to report that Portland Police Sunshine Division picked up the cereal last Wednesday and yesterday the kids and I took care of the milk.
I made sure to bring my camera to photograph 20 gallons of milk in the trunk of the Honda Civic, but no photos were taken during our fastest trip to Albies--ever. When I purchased the cereal, I ordered 20 gallons of milk, since I was not going to buy out all the 2% milk at Albies and leave them with a big hole in their milk section. The guys at the 4th Plain Albies have made ordering easy--thank you Nate and Johnny! When I arrived at Albies yesterday I saw Johnny right away and he went and got the milk for me, checked me out, and put all the milk in the trunk--incredible service. Thank goodness, because I had two little monkeys that were not in the mood for another of mommy's couponing adventures. After Albies, we made the short drive over to Share House to drop off the milk. Off loading the milk went smoothly and my kids like making deliveries to Share House.

I'm disappointed about missing a great picture opportunity--I may never have 20 gallons of milk in the Civic again! In honor of our great milk donation, here is my little guy enjoying a tasty beverage.

Dinners

Since our financial month started I have not gone to the grocery store.
Monday we were treated to dinner at a friend's and yesterday we pulled out frozen breakfast burritos I made up a few weeks ago. Tonight it was simple baked chicken thighs, leftover potatoes, and canned green beans. Nothing exciting in the Rain household--except for the crazy amount of hail we had earlier!

$75 for a survey--my biggest yet!

Yippee! This $75 check was from a survey in which I participated in an on-line bulletin board. This is in addition to the 24 Opinion Points ($2.40) I earned for the 5 minute screening survey through Opinion Outpost.

The requirements were to answer questions on three specific days for 45 minutes each to earn $75. When I received the actual survey, the instructions indicated you only needed to answer the questions on two days to complete the survey! For me to give informed answers, I logged in three times over two days and spent at least 3 hours reading, listening, watching the information, and providing my answers.

This was the first time I had been selected to participate in an on-line bulletin board survey/discussion. It was interesting, sometimes dull, and in the end completely worth my time. The best part was getting the payment within two weeks!

Opinion Outpost is one of my favorite survey sites. I have earned $124.20 so far. Technically, I have had $95 worth of checks arrive in my mailbox over the past year and I have $29.20 to cash out at any time. Minimum earnings for rewards is 50 Opinion Points, $5 in the form of an Amazon.com gift card, 150 Opinion Points, $15 in the form of a Citi Gift Card. If you like money you can take to the bank, you need a minimum of 200 Opinion Points, $20 to request a check. My first $20 check arrived last May.
