Target toy deals for the week of 9/20
September 22, 2009 by
Yesterday I highlighted some great toy and game deals at Toys ‘R Us. I did the weekly Target match-ups on Sunday, but thought I’d highlight a few of their toy and game deals today in case you’re starting your holiday shopping early!
Family Game Night Deal: Buy Hungry Hungry Hippos Game, Connect 4X4 game, Bop It! game, or Monopoly Championship Edition game – on sale for $15/each, get a 2 liter Pepsi drink and free Doritos item

In previous years, the cheapest I have seen these is during the Black Friday sales when they are usually about $5, so this is a great deal!
This is not in the ad, but the regular price on the Cranium preschool games is $9.99. This includes Puppy Pals Bingo, Polar Bear A-B-C, and Duck Duck 1-2-3.

Start your Christmas shopping early: Toys ‘R Us deals
September 21, 2009 by
In looking through the ads yesterday, it looks like a lot of retailers are trying to jump start Christmas shopping. I usually try to have all of my shopping finished by Thanksgiving, so this works for me! There are some pretty good deals that you might want to take advantage of, especially if these things are on your list anyway. Don’t forget to take advantage of some of these good deals to give items away to local charity programs around the holidays.
At Toys ‘R Us, they’re celebrating Geoffrey’s birthday this week. The following “brands” are buy 2, get 1 free. All of the participating items are: LEGO, all books, all video games, all LeapFrog, all Barbie, all Star Wars Clone Wars, all PlaySkool, all Melissa & Doug puzzles, all GeoTrax, all Imaginext, all Thomas wooden engines, all K’Nex, all Mega Bloks, all Crayola Color Wonder/Explosion/Surge, all You & Me, all Disney Princess Dolls and playsets, all Just Like Home, all My Little Pony, all Littlest Pet Shop, and all Play-Dog.
The Sesame Street and Baby Einstein videos are buy one, get one free. Prices start at $5.99.
There are also some great manufacturer’s coupons and offers that will match up with these deals.
Right now, when you buy a Fisher Price TRIO building set, you get an instant $5 off. There are some sets that are priced at $5.99 that are part of this offer, so after the instant $5 off, you only pay $.99! This is one of the sets you can get for $.99:
There is also a printable manufacturer’s coupon here for $5 off with a minimum pre-tax purchase price of $10 (you can print 2 per computer). With the coupon and the instant discount, this police station would only be $4.99.

Menu Planning Monday: My menu for the week of 9/20/09
September 21, 2009 by
This week, I’m just posting our dinner plans. Breakfast will be “fast” food on weekdays (things like cold cereal, oatmeal, waffles, and Pop Tarts). I actually cook on Saturday and Sunday. Weekday lunches will consist of leftovers and sandwiches.
If you need more recipe inspirations, download a free chicken casserole cookbook here and a free pork chops cookbook here.
If you have blogged a menu plan for the week (or even just a favorite recipe), please feel free to comment and share. I’m always looking for new ideas and inspiration and will be happy to share a link to your blog if we try your recipe!
If you need inspiration, check out the weekly meal plans from hundreds of other bloggers here at Organizing Junkie.
SUNDAY: Creamy chicken enchiladas
Ingredients:
1 can cream of chicken soup (I use the 98% FF kind)
1 can cream of mushroom soup (I use the 98% FF kind)
2 cans green enchilada sauce
1 8 oz-16 oz. tub of sour cream (depends how spicy you want the enchiladas)
2-3 chicken breasts, shredded (if I’m in a hurry, I use canned chicken)
1 lb. cheese, shredded
1 dozen flour tortillas (you could use corn also)
Add cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and enchilada sauce to a pan. Cook on medium low heat, stirring occasionally. When sauce is well mixed and starts to thin, add sour cream. Continue stirring occasionally until the sauce is well mixed and thinned out. Place a layer of the sauce along the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish. Fill each tortilla with the shredded chicken, sauce, and cheese. Roll and place in the baking dish. When you have filled all of the tortillas (this should make 1 dozen), pour the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas and then cover with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is well melted.
MONDAY: Beef & broccoli (freezer meal)
Ingredients:

Freezing Directions:
-Place steak in a freezer bag or rigid freezer container. Pour sauce over steak. Seal, label and freeze. (we put the broccoli in the bag too…it was originally an on hand item)
Serving Directions: (write on bag)
-Thaw in refrigerator. Make pasta (or rice) according to package directions. Drain sauce off steak into a frying pan. Heat on med-high until boiling. Mix water and cornstarch in a separate bowl or cup. Pour mixture into sauce. Return to boiling and reduce heat. Mixture will thicken. Add the meat and broccoli to the sauce and mix to coat. Heat until warm. Serve over pasta (or rice).

Serve over rice or pasta.
WEDNESDAY: Bubble pizza – When Carrie posted this on her blog a few weeks ago, it looked yummy and I’ve been wanting to try it ever since! I think the kids will love it (and it’s something they can help make, too, so it will be even more fun)

Drain beef and spread it out across the biscuits.
Pour in 1-2 cans/jars of pizza sauce.
Add any pizza toppings you enjoy such as black olives, onions, green pepper, pineapple, etc. Stir all of this together in the pan until everything is coated in the the sauce.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-18 minutes(biscuits will bubble up and be slightly brown on top).
Remove from oven and add 8oz shredded pizza cheese(mozz or mozz/cheddar blend). Put back in oven until cheese is melted(about 3-5 minutes), removed from oven and cut into squares.
