I’m a huge fan of Reuben sandwiches.  It all started about 5 years ago where I had a very good one at a restaurant near my work and I started to looking for other good Reuben sandwiches.

Thanks to Redemption Unlimited ladies for mentioning that corned beef is $1.49 lb at Giant this week.   I got a 5 lb brisket for under $8.  That right there is the cost of 1 sandwich at a nice restaurant here in the NOVA area.   I made this recipe for the brisket and then I made this recipe for cabbage, potatos and carrots.   Wow!  This is amazing.  My husband wants another sandwich right now.  I better go make it.

I updated my version a little bit.

Crockpot version

For a couple months now I’ve been trying to decide what to do with my savings blog.  I really want to keep it going but with a real name and URL.   I came up with Redberrydeals.com.   Now, when you click on my old links such as http://holly.luddite.net, it will automatically transfer you to http://redberrydeals.com.    Red berry is for Holly.  Cute!  I thought so.

In the next couple weeks I hope to get a new blog format with a logo in place.  Feel free to submit any ideas or suggestions.  I would love to hear them.

I did some searching and found the 2010 Magazine Coupon Schedule which lists several popular magazines some I’ve subscribed to.  The magazine that will follow this program all year is Woman’s Day.    See my post HERE on a great deal I have with CampusFundraising.  Remember it ends March 15.

On Saturday I stopped at CVS to get some Benadryl for my daughter.  She had a very strange case of hives on Friday and the doctor said that she was ok but must have been exposed to something that she was allergic to.  We just can’t figure out what it could be.   The hives didn’t last long.  She wasn’t bothered by them either.

While I was at my favorite CVS, which I might add is very small, I decided to look at some of the other deals.  In my email I got a $5/$30  coupon and thought this would be a perfect time to use it.

Do you know of a store in the Washington metro area (Northern Virginia, DC, or Maryland) that sells bulk food?

I did a little research and found a place in Harrisonburg, Virginia http://grandmaspantryva.com that is a couple hours away.   The prices are really good.  A great stockpiling place!  I’m curious of the cost of shipping.
