My Price Cutter Deal 6/22
This post may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.
Ok, small rant here. If ever have problems shopping, it’s almost always at Price Cutter. They often have prices come up wrong in the register and then it takes time to get the right price so this is always a hassle. I’ve come to expect it when I shop there. They could take a lesson from my favorite store Dillons. Dillons’ store policy is if the price comes up wrong at the register, then you get the item FREE! Isn’t that awesome! Yet another reason for me to LOVE my Dillons (and no I don’t work there or know anyone who does, I just love them that much lol). Anyway, another problem I have with Price Cutter is their Coupon policy, if the coupon doesn’t scan, they won’t take it, period. I had a coupon from Hiland’s web site they wouldn’t accept today because it wouldn’t scan. Bummer, I understand that they are wary of counterfeit coupons, but can’t they just make it a judgment call? Do they really think someone is going to counterfeit $.55 coupons from Hiland-I don’t think so! Now, on the plus side, Price Cutter just added Black Angus to their meat section and the line is priced very reasonably, that reason alone brings me back to the store. Also, they mark down their meats and produce so you can get really great prices like I did today. And, they double coupons up to $.50.
My deal today:
Strawberries 1 lb. $.99
Head of Lettuce $.99 (came up $1.50 at the register-sighhhhh)
Red Bell Pepper $.89
Farmland Polish Sausage $1.50, used $1.00 Q

Sirloin Roast Marked Down to $.98 lb.=$.98

Eggs-Medium 1 dz $.69
Final Cost $10.90

Nature Valley New Nut Clusters Review
This post may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.
I got the opportunity recently to review Nature Valley’s new Granola Nut Clusters. OVERALL: Nature Valley’s new Granola Nut Clusters are a winner-a really delicious combination of granola & nuts and not too much of one or the other. This line is 100% Natural, they come in 5 oz. resealable bags and they are bite sized. They are a reasonable 140-160 calories per serving just be careful and keep it to one serving, it would be easy to devour the whole bag. 🙂 I can see how these would be so versatile, they would be perfect for camping/hiking adventures, great to snack on at work or on the run, and fun to munch on at home too.
I got to try 4 different varieties:
Roasted Cashew (Roasted Cashews, Granola & A touch of Honey)
Honey Roasted Peanuts (Honey Roasted Peanuts, Granola & a touch of honey)
Roasted Almond (Roasted Almonds, Granola & a touch of Honey
Nut Lovers (Cashews, Pecans, Peanuts, Granola & a touch of Honey)
#1. NUT LOVERS-My guy immediately ripped open the Nut Lovers and absolutely LOVED it. And this is not a small feat, he is on the picky side when it comes to food (and everything else LOL). I was first struck by how good the Nut Lovers package smelled, I couldn’t wait to try it! I have to say I was especially impressed with the Nut Lovers. Both of us liked it the best out of the four. I’m sure we’ll be buying this one regularly.
#2. ROASTED ALMOND-This one was delicious too, it had just a little bit more granola than the Nut Lover’s and didn’t seem quite as sweet. This one was a close second for us.
#3. ROASTED CASHEW (OR TIE)-Also very tasty, we were both impressed with the quality of the taste. A very close third. The only reason it was third is we just both happen to prefer almonds over cashews. They were really both equally good!
#4. HONEY ROASTED PEANUTS-This was the only one we weren’t completely nuts over. This one was just a little too sweet for both of us, but it was still darn good!
Thanks to My Blog Spark for the opportunity to try these yummy new products!

I hope everyone has a Happy Father’s Day today! I’d like to take a moment to remember my father who passed away in August 2007. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and miss you Papa. I love you and want to thank you for the wisdom, memories and adventures over the years.
I’d also like to give a shout out to my other dad Jim. I consider myself very blessed to get to have TWO dads, how great is that?!! Jim is one of the kindest people in the WHOLE world and is one of those people that helps everybody! Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and all your caring and support! I love you Jim and hope you have a fantastic Father’s Day! 🙂
