Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope all of you have a peaceful and love filled Thanksgiving.

Let's recap a few of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes:

Sweet potato casserole - https://thefrugalmennonite.blogspot.com/2016/11/thanksgiving-recipes-sweet-potato.html


Some people love mashed potatoes, but I prefer fried.  Here is my recipe for easy fried potatoes:

INGREDIENTS

1 bag fingerling or small Yukon gold potatoes
salt to taste
pepper to taste
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. butter
1 cup water

Wash the potatoes and cut into halves or quarters.  Put oil and butter into pan and heat on medium until hot.  Pour in water, bring to a boil, then cover and lower to simmer.  Simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Then remove the lid and raise the heat back to medium.  Add salt and pepper. The water will evaporate and the potatoes will begin to fry. When the potatoes are nicely browned on the bottom turn them with a spatula.  When crispy and brown on several sides they are done.

 I almost forgot.  Here's my recipe for cornbread stuffing:  https://thefrugalmennonite.blogspot.com/search?q=cornbread+stuffing

Enjoy your day!

God bless,

Rebates and Coupons with Ibotta and Ebates

For the last six months I've been using two apps on my phone to earn rebates on my purchases.  They have proven to be reliable and easy to use.

To use Ebates you don't need an app, but one is available.  Log in to Ebates on your device, choose the store you want to use, then enter that store's website through the Ebates page.  The Ebates page for the store will list any available coupon codes.

Make your purchases as normal and Ebates will calculate your rebate and add it to your account.  Several times a year they will mail you a check.  Easy Peasy.

I've found Ibotta much easier to use through the app.  Through the app choose the store you will be using, choose items that you buy, then after you have shopped send a photo of your receipt to them and scan any barcodes they require.  Some of the rebates require that you watch a 15 second video commercial.  I have the rebates sent to my PayPal account.

For very little effort I've managed to get over $50 in rebates in the last six months and with Christmas coming it's nice to get a little money back.  If nothing else the rebates have covered the cost of shipping for my online purchases.

Happy saving!

God bless,
Pam
