HyVee's Regular Ad for 1/1-8/2011

Here's the BOGO from the back page of HyVee's ad for 1/1-8/2011. I really liking the Di Lusso Cobb and Chef Salads and anytime they are on BOGO I try and snag a couple of them.

HyVee 3-Day Sale 1/6-8/2011

There's always some good buys in these special sales that HyVee has most every week. This week is a 3 Day sale from 1/6-8. I'm spotting the Chicken Breast - 2.5 pounds for $3.99. That's less than $1.60 per pound. That's in the Good Buy range for me!

Another Good Buy I see is the Hormel Pork Spare Ribs for $1.29 per pound. Yum and maybe worth stocking up for the Super Bowl?

Shoe Polish Does Alot

If you've invested in a pair of high quality leather shoes or boots you can make them last AT LEAST twice as long if you take care of them. A jar of mink oil and a good horse hair brush is all you need to keep them looking new. Notice the cleaned shoe on the left and the dirty shoe on the right. Let them sit for about 24 hours afterwards and you'll be ready to go for quite a few wearings with brand new looking shoes.

Warm Feet?

It's practically a ritual for me to take a good look at my shoes and boots over New Year's weekend. It's been cold enough for a few weeks so that cold feet has set it on a couple of my favorite pairs of shoes. I buy these insoles for about $1.00 per set and throw away the insoles that I put in last year and will have nice warm feet again. Once in a while I have to replace them more than once over the winter but they really do do the trick.

Knitting in 2011

One of the goals for 2011 at my house is to learn to knit. My personal goal is to make a scarf. Hopefully, I'll be able to do it but it was super great timing to grab the yarn at Walmart! This holiday yarn was only $.60 per skein! They had red, green, and white to choose from. If you're a knitter keep your eyes peeled when your're at Walmart!

Keep Your Feeders Full

If you are a regular at feeding the birds it is extra important to keep your feeders full in these frigid temperatures. The birds are needing to eat about every hour to hour & one half to keep their body heat up and since you've trained them to come to your feeder they are relying on you for food. I've filled my tray feeder twice today already and am having even the downy woodpeckers come in for food - it's that cold out there.
