I got the new Trader Joe’s flyer in my inbox today. I think I am in love LOL. They always have great prices and great food. You can’t go wrong (well the produce can be a little wonky at times). Check out their new stuff…

Protein-Packed Pasta Dinner
Feed Four in Six Minutes
For Less Than $5.00!

Proving that even a simple dinner can be made more
convenient, without sacrificing flavor or quality, Trader
Joe’s has introduced two products that make it a snap to
have a pasta dinner on the table in just minutes, without
spending much money.

Trader Joe’s Just Spaghetti is just that – spaghetti. It’s
fully cooked, rolled into a coil shape and frozen. You just
take it out of the outer package, heat it in the microwave
for about two and a half minutes, and presto! Perfectly al
dente spaghetti, in less time than it takes to boil water.
What to serve with Just Spaghetti to complete the meal?
Trader Joe’s Turkey Bolognese Sauce.

Also found in our freezers, this is a slow-simmered, authentic-in-allways-
but-one Bolognese. We’ve veered from tradition by
using turkey instead of beef, pork and veal. In fact, more
than 20% of the total weight of this sauce is turkey! The
result is a protein-packed sauce that’s just as savory, just
as thick and just as delicious as a classic Bolognese, but
with far fewer calories. Plus, you can pull it out of your
freezer and have it ready to ladle atop a bowl of pasta in
about 3-4 minutes.

Just Spaghetti is $2.49 for a pound of cooked pasta,
and Turkey Bolognese is $2.49 for 12 ounces of hearty
sauce. Together, $4.98 for enough food for a family of
four (okay, maybe two, if you have teenaged boys).
Now that’s a wow! Only at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s.

Happy Valentine’s Day from the Crafty Mom of 3 Network!

A while back I found this REALLY great site called Alice.com.  It is a home delivery service for groceries.  I ordered very easily and received my products 4 days later which I thought was great considering I bought them on a Saturday night.

Not only do you get great deals, automatic coupons and FREE shipping, they also will pay you to refer other people!  So if you click through my link, once you order $50 worth of products they will credit your account $10. You can only get that deal through some ones referral link. Then you will get your own link to start referring your friends. Each person you refer will also get a $10 credit in their Alice account once they spend at least $50 on the site.

Here’s a little more about the site:

About Us

Alice is here to help

Let’s face it; you can probably think of a thousand things you’d rather do than drive to the store again and again for toilet paper, toothpaste, trash bags and the dozens of other home essentials that keep your home running. We can too. That’s why we started Alice.

The Internet has changed the way we shop for things like books, clothing, shoes and electronics. We buy online for the convenience and the power we have to get product reviews, choose brands, see price comparisons, and make better choices.

But when it comes to home essentials, we still trudge off to the store, load up the cart, and haul a trunk-load of stuff out the parking lot. Why? Because no one has come up with an efficient, cost-effective way to buy these goods online. Until now.

Scratch Household Shopping off the To-Do-List

Alice provides you a better way to manage all of your household essentials online. You tell Alice what you buy—choosing from great deals on 1000’s of products—and Alice goes to work. We organize all of your products, find coupons and deals for you, remind you when you might be running low, and help you order just the items you need so you can avoid that trip to the corner drugstore or the big-box store. And all this convenience comes direct to your door with free shipping included.

Get Big Box Savings & Free Shipping

Best of all, you won’t over pay for the power and convenience of Alice. In addition to free shipping on every order, you’ll find great prices too. That’s because Alice isn’t your average retailer. You order from Alice just like you would a retailer, but behind the scenes we work like a marketplace, allowing participating manufacturers to sell directly to you. Not every product on our site is sold direct from the manufacturer right now—we sourced a number of products ourselves to get the Alice.com site up and running—but we add new manufacturers each week onto our direct platform. This direct platform eliminates the retail middleman and saves lots of costs that can be passed directly on to you. And in addition to saving you money, the Alice marketplace allows participating brands to have a direct relationship with you—to reward you, personalize things for you, and work smarter for you. It is a win-win that gives you fantastic convenience AND tangible savings.

Alice Isn’t a Person, She is a Team

Our team at Alice is made up of a talented group of people that are passionate about changing the way you shop for the goods that keep your home running. Our mission is to make your home run smarter, to give you extra time to spend on the important things in your life, and, of course, to make sure you never run out of toilet paper again.

The Alice co-founders, Brian Wiegand and Mark McGuire, have spent their careers building customer-focused companies. Their formula is simple: use the web to disrupt existing business models and shift more power to end consumers. With a strong team in place, Alice is ready to shift the power back to you one trash bag, toothpaste tube and pack of diapers at a time.

So what are you waiting for?????? Oh…did I mention you can also get Sun & Earth products there???? If you’re not familiar with them check it out here. Great GREEN products.

*I also forgot to say that they now take PayPal which makes it even easier!!!*
