Swan Song

I have spent most of the last few weeks enjoying the mild temperatures and working outside on my little farm. And realizing that growing our food is quite possibly a full time job in and of itself. Not all year long, but certainly at certain times of the year. As I was enjoying some time outside and getting my hands in the dirt (really, if you haven't tried it, you should; so peaceful), I realized that I am truly committed to this ideal of growing our food, and, in September and October, when I'm buried in tomatoes and carrots that need to be canned or dehydrated or frozen, that there simply would be no time for The Real Deal.

So I made the decision to stop this blog.

It was not an easy decision to make, but I know I can give you some great recommendations of other places to find great deals. I highly recommend Deal Seeking Mom. She has some great partners and has deals for so many stores. I promise, you'll love her!

I'll keep writing. I have started a blog for my farm adventures, but it's much more low key. If I don't post in a given day, it's no big deal. I will be talking a bit about my own deals there, but much more focus on the farm. If you're interested, take a peek over there.

I wish you a future filled with incredible deals and lots of wins from great giveaways!

Make Your Own: Bread Crumbs

Making your own bread crumbs is simple and easy, and is a great starter task if you're looking at making your own pantry staples to save money on your grocery bill. This recipe yields about one cup of fine bread crumbs. I've never bought Panko bread crumbs, so I'm not sure if the are that fine.
