Good morning! Happy St. Patty’s Day!! Are you making Corned Beef tonight? Do you have any exciting plans?
It sure seems like “the hive” was buzzing around here yesterday – tons of online deals and things to tell you about! Today should follow suit, seems a lot of retailers are offering St. Patrick’s Day promotions and discounts.
Yesterday, on the way to preschool, I took my sweet girl to get a FREE ice cream cone at Dairy Queen. What a rare treat! We went through the drive thru – and it was completely free! My favorite part of this promotion was asking YOU to share the photos of your kids and their free ice cream cones —> check out the great photos shared on the Queen Bee Facebook page! So many BIG smiles of kids (and grown ups) with ice cream cones. I loved it. Thank you for humoring me and sharing your photos. 🙂
After dropping my daughter off, I stopped into QFC and picked up bread, hamburger buns, hot dog buns and some markdowns. My son refuses to eat hot lunch at school – so we pack a peanut butter and jelly sandwich EVERYDAY and I was out of bread. I spent $13.93 on everything pictured above. Not much for markdowns – but all stuff we needed. The fancy bread was on sale for $2.50 – and I toasted it up in the oven with some butter and garlic, served with this soup. . . .
Last night I made this Slow Cooker Beef and Barley stew – oh my, it turned out delicious! I used leftover pot roast and lots of veggies for a very filling soup. If you’ve made my old beef and barley soup recipe, this is an updated version – I think it’s better. 🙂
