Summer Time Homemade Fruit Popsicles- GFCF Friendly

Being on a GFCF diet can be difficult for my son, but I swear it's all about the presentation. The more exciting I make it look, the higher my odds are that my kids will eat it. One of my favorite summer time treats are homemade fruit Popsicles.

These fruit Popsicles are so easy and the kids have no idea how good they are for them. In fact if it's warm enough outside we will eat these for breakfast!

I bought a pack of 4 Popsicle molds at Bed Bath and Beyond for $2.99 and of course I used one of my 20% off coupons =) I let my kids fill them full of any fruit they wanted. Peach and blueberry seems to be a favorite combination at our house. Then I fill the molds full of 100% fruit juice. One of my kids favorite is white grape peach juice and my husband likes pineapple. Put them in the freezer until they are frozen enough to take out of the mold.

I figured each batch of popsicles only costs me about .25 and they are so much better than the sugar loaded ones you buy at the store.

Enjoy!

Healthy Family Tip

The topic of a healthy family means much more than just having a good diet. This week my little one and I made a trip to the library and I learned some interesting little facts about the importance of reading to children. The one that was the top of the list was:

"Reading to young children promotes language acquisition and literacy development and, later on, achievement in reading comprehension and overall success in school."

Reading is such an easy thing to do--- getting your little ones to still another story =)

There are lots of tips about reading to your children on this site here.

Did you know in Utah many of the libraries also hold other activities?

The Salt Lake County Library has a list of activities!

Make sure to check it out! I love finding free activities to do with kids during the summer, dont you?!

Clean Car=A Happy Mom!

There are two things that make me sooo happy! A full tank of gas, and a CLEAN CAR! I know, I am easy to please! Something I dont love? Cleaning the car! I usually clean out the car, and get a wash at least once a week. So, with my total dislike for doing the work myself I have found some sweet deals on having others do it for me! :)

Here are a few car washes in the Salt Lake Valley that have great deals right now:

Sparkle Express Car Wash

in South Jordan

Magic Clean Car Wash

in West Jordan

Platinum Car Wash

in Draper

With great deals like these available I am more than happy to let someone take care of the car cleaning chore for me!

Utah Smith's Mega Coupon Event

Starting tomorrow, 6/22, Smith's is having another Mega coupon event! Last time they had this event I made out like a thief! Utah rarely sees double coupon events, so I must admit I am pretty excited about this!

Smith's will be rounding up coupons under $1.00 to equal $1.00 off. So, .20, .35 and .50 and all manufacture coupons under $1.00 will come off as $1.00 at the register. If a coupon says .25/1, Smith's will round it up to $1/1. That's actually like quadrupling a coupon! No coupons over $1 will be doubled.

Gluten and Casein Free Grocery Shopping Tricks

Shortly after my son was diagnosed with Autism I began researching about diet and nutrition. I was startled to learn what progress families see when they switch Autism children's diet to Gluten and Casein Free. I decided to hop on the boat myself and try it out. I am just about willing to try anything to improve my sons condition.

Over the last couple years I had been able to cut our weekly shopping budget to $50 a week, but that included some frozen and boxed dinners. With new diet restrictions my way of shopping changed dramatically. I knew I still wanted to spend $50 a week, but my shopping habits would need to change too. Here are some tricks I have learned when shopping for a healthier lifestyle and diet.

• 90% off the coupons I use are for cosmetics, diapers, cleaning supplies and paper products. Most coupons for food items are processed and boxed foods. Many of which are unhealthy and contain gluten and casein.
• The majority of my budget each week goes to fresh produce and meat. Since fresh foods are GFCF okay that is what we eat a lot of.
• I no longer buy convenience or prepackaged foods. I was actually surprised that by eliminating these items from my shopping list it saved me some money each week.
• If I see a coupon for a food product that is GFCF I will literally jump up and down since they are very rare.

By sticking to these tricks I am able to stay close to my $200 a month grocery budget. You will start to see my new shopping habits reflect our meal planning and shop and tell stories.

No matter what your families dietary needs are you can do it for less by making coupons work for you. I selectively chose what coupons I will use. I am sure to make a meal plan each and every week so I know exactly how much money I am spending and what coupons I will be using.

Do any of you have special dietary needs? If so, how do you make coupons work for you?

Produce and Food Co-Op in Utah

Have you heard of Food and Produce Co-Ops? They are groups that use collective buying power of all their participants to purchase at up to 50% below retail value!!! I was amazed when I heard that it was even possible to save 50% on produce (and not have to grow it myself to save that much). With coupons, I was savings lots at the grocery store on the other items we needed but we eat a TON of fruit and veggies at my house. Due to produce not having coupons (with rare exception) that part of our bill never has changed much. So, when I heard about this I was so excited. There are lots of local farms in the state that run in co-op form. Some vary with certain amounts of hours to be given as volunteer time and amounts of pick up locations. The one that my own family has used is called Bountiful Baskets. They have locations all over the state. It currently cost $15.00 for a basket that is LOADED with fruits and veggies. I generally had a produce bill of $25 or more, and even with that total I was not bringing home the same large amount as a basket is from this site is full of. So, if your looking to cut costs on more than just the coupon items a Co-op can be a great way to do it. Because they are run by volunteers they can also be a great way to meet new friends who enjoy feeding their families lots of fresh stuff! Some co-ops also offer grocery items and meat and bread.

To learn more about Bountiful Baskets click here

There is another co-op I have had friends work with called the Community Food Co-Op of Utah. They have also had great experiences and loved being able to purchase great food for their families for so much less.

To find a local farm near you there is a great site called LocalHarvest.net.

Did you know there was options besides growing it yourself or purchasing at the grocery store price? Have you found a local farm near your home you love? We would love to hear about them if you have!

Thanks Utah Deal Diva!

Welcome!

Welcome to our new web page!

She Shops Smart was started in February of 2009. More than a year later, after couponing our way out of debt Emily and I had a conversation where we shared with each other how tired we were. We had become exhausted with the idea of blogging, teaching coupon classes 4-5 times a week and being mothers and wives. We took a short blogging break only to realize how much we loved our blog (our 4th child), but we knew we needed to make a change so we could really enjoy what we were doing.

At the beginning of the year my oldest son was diagnosed with Autism. I quickly found that there was going to be so much to learn in order to help him. This spurred new goals for me, which included further coupon use in order to afford the costly treatments ($1800 A MONTH!) that insurance would not cover, as well as much research on the topic. We also had to change our families diet dramatically to meet his special nutritional needs.

Emily has always had a serious interest in saving money, nutritious eating, and healthy living. Many times she found that coupons seemed to be used to purchase processed and junk foods and this is not what she wanted to focus on purchasing when there are coupons available for all different kinds of products. Emily really enjoys finding coupons and ways to save money on the "nutritious stuff" and preparing meals that she knows are good for her family.

We combined our passions and Couponing for Autism and Healthy Families was born. This new website/blog is everything we could have ever envisioned. We are so excited for this new coupon journey we are embarking on. We are still the same girls sharing with you ways to save money for what may seem impossible, but just on our new web site!

Also be sure to join our new facebook and twitter pages, so you don't miss a thing!

Killer Newspaper Deal .75 for Sunday's Newspaper!

Guess what! We have some really exciting news! The Salt Lake Tribune and Desert Morning Newspaper are running an incredible price on the newspaper . This is the best price I have seen in a couple years!

You can get the Friday, Saturday and Sunday print edition of the Salt Lake Tribune or Deseret Morning Newspaper for:

• 1 Newspaper for 52 weeks (1 year) for: $39
• 2 Newspapers for 52 weeks (1 year) for: $78
• 3 Newspapers for 52 weeks (1 year) for: $117
• 4 Newspapers for 52 weeks (1 year) for: $156

That makes the Sunday newspaper as low as .75 a paper!! That is smokin hot, considering a newspaper is $2.00 at the gas station and they don't always include the same coupons as they do in the subscribers papers! This is almost half the price I paid for my papers for a year! At .75 a Sunday paper the coupons will way over pay for themselves.

If you have been trying to decide if you want to take the coupon plunge this is a great time, or even if you are looking to add additional papers to your account this is another great opportunity. The Salt lake Tribune and Desert Morning News are a statewide paper and deliver to a huge area. In fact if you already get the Daily Herald you can also have the Salt Lake Tribune and Desert Morning newspapers delivered!

This deal is only running for a SHORT period of time. I am guessing only a couple days. In the interest of being able to get your order in before this promo ends we are just going to have you call us directly and we will get your order placed. You can call Tori and Emily personally at

801-369-0667

or

801-631-3921

and we can answer any of your questions and get your order placed.
