Fiber-y and Gluten-free (almost) freebies at Kroger!

DSC02324

Sooo Kroger had a great deal on Fiber One bars this week that also coincided with another promotion involving free General Mills cereal (either Cinnamon Chex or Cinnamon Cheerios).  Since we rely on Fiber One bars to keep Sophie um, regular, I always jump at the chance to stock up!  Plus, this week if you bought 3 select General Mills products, (Fiber One bars being one of said products) you got either a box of Cinnamon Chex or Cinnamon Cheerios free.  AND Fiber One bars were also part of a General Mills catalina, if you bought 6 you got back a coupon for $3.50 off your next order! Soooo when I mad my big grocery trip this week I got 6 boxes of Fiber One bars at $2.49 each, and used six 50-cent off coupons from coupons.com or smartsource.com (which doubled to $1).  I also used a $1/2 General Mills cereals printable from coupons.com, even though the cereals were free, you could still use a coupon on them.  Sooo I paid $7.94 for all that and got back a $3.50 coupon to use on my next order.  My next order was, of course, 6 boxes of Fiber One bars and two boxes of Cinnamon Chex cereal!  Using the above coupons again and my $3.50 catalina, I paid $4.44 this time and got back another $3.50 Catalina. 🙂 🙂  WHAT UP!  Now I am 12 boxes of Fiber One bars richer!  And since the Cinnamon Chex are gluten-free, I am giving them to my friend Celia who recently found out she needs to eat gluten-free.  Yippee!

I wish my store would have had more tissues in stock, I would’ve bought them! I like donating paper products to my kids’ school classrooms!

The NUK Genius Pacifier – my baby’s paci of choice

About two weeks ago, when I was sure that Jonah was a champion nurser and was gaining weight, I started trying to get him to take a pacifier.  Because, REALLY, sometimes you need to have a way to quiet the baby!  Without sticking your bewb in his mouth.  I had hit some baby clearance while I was pregnant and had several different kinds of pacifiers for Jonah to try, plus I also had a few I had been sent for review. PLUS, I had the kind you get from the hospital and one with a cute little bear attached to it that my sister-in-law gave to Jonah.

So we tried some pacis.  And then we tried some more – and then – finally, we got him to take one! Just ONE out of the 5 or 6 different brands, and that blessed, golden pacifier is the NUK Genius.

(insert angels singing here!)

What’s so great about the NUK Genius?  Well, Jonah won’t tell me!  BUT, I am thinking it has something to do with its superior design.  It’s designed to be extra soft, extra thin, and reduce pressure on the jaw and the teeth to a minimum.  Plus, it’s natural shape simulates mom’s breast while breastfeeding.  And even though Jonah doesn’t know it, it’s BPA free, which I love!

So, there ya go.  The NUK Genius is Jonah’s paci of choice, and we already can’t live without it in my house!

The nice people at NUK USA sent me a NUK Genius to review.  And luckily for us all, Jonah loved it!  All opinions in this post are totally mine.  And my baby’s.  Because neither one of us would lie for a $5 pacifier.
