My Kansas City Mommy: Thrifty Thursday

Hyvee Now Wow Text Program

Have you signed up for the Hy-Vee NOW WOW Text Program?

If not, you might want to consider signing up by clicking the link above. Thisis an extra way to save at your local Hy-Vee store.

You can sign up for 1 or all of their alerts, my favorite is the Now Wow. I have scored some great savings on items through this program - like 1 Dozen Eggs for $0.50, and you can use additional coupons on these items too, which makes the deals even sweeter sometimes!! You even choose what time you will receive the text messages.

NOWWOW - Awesome coupons that will make you say WOW! These exclusive coupons are good for a specific day and limited hours. Stay alert! You'll never know when you will receive a NOWWOW.

About once a week, I receive a text message that contains a coupon code for either a discount ($5 off $50 purchase) or item ($.99 12-pack Pepsi Products) that is valid on a certain day and sometimes during certain hours.

When you receive a Now Wow Coupon on your text you merely show the cashier the text when checking out and "POW" Instant Savings.

Standard texting fees do apply.

Heartfully Yummy Cinnamon Rolls

Ok yes the title is a little sappy, I know not really My Kansas City Mommy's style but seriously people it is almost Valentines Day and we all get a little sappy around this time of year. So here is a great option for your family's breakfast to start their Valentines Day off with Love and X's & O's as your reward from the little people in your world. I saw this on Pinterest a while back and found the link - but it required making your own home made cinnamon rolls - NOT ..... I found a Thrifty and Quick answer to that. So here are the instructions and make sure to find a couple of coupons - seriously there are always coupons for cinnamon rolls out there. You can also Pin this on Pinterest. Who doesn't like cinnamon rolls. These would be great for work too.

Ingredients

1 Can Refrigerator Cinnamon Rolls (SS 1/6/13 Insert - $1/3 Pillsbury Sweet Rolls)
Cooking Spray
Baking Dish

Open the can of cinnamon rolls and carefully unroll 1 at a time. After the cinnamon roll is unrolled, merely find the center of the dough and start rolling them up toward the center on both sides creating a heart shape. I found it was a good idea to kind of pinch the bottom point of the cinnamon roll when you were finished for a nice point when they finished baking. Place the heart shaped cinnamon roll in the pan and bake as directed.

Update

Did anyone try the Laundry Soap or the Baked Potato Soup from last week. If you did or one of the other Thrifty Thursday items let us know how it went. As a follow up to last weeks post, I did try the readers tip on the shampoo/conditioner using Baking Soda and Apple Cider Vinegar. I am impressed, my hair was just as clean and softer than my regular conditioner ever made it feel, I will be using this again, oh and my hair didn't smell like vinegar either. Thank you to reader Tara for that tip!! Keep the tips coming as we love to feature the information you share with us and you might just end up receiving a little something in the mail as a "thank you" freebie from My Kansas City Mommy if your tip is featured so start sharing.
