ARCHIVED Extreme Couponing
Juliebove replied to Juliebove's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hmmm... I might get rid of the toolbar then. It's for printing coupons online. But so far the only ones I saw that I could use were for such a little amount of money it wouldn't pay for me to waste my toner to print them. Plus you have to fill out all this stuff and agree to get e-mails to get the coupons. -
ARCHIVED Extreme Couponing
Juliebove replied to Juliebove's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I mainly shop at Costco (has the own coupons) and Winco foods. No advertised sales there, but they do have sales. Next would be Albertsons and Central Market. Occasionally Safeway, QFC or Fred Meyer. Their prices are more expensive so I rarely go there unless they have something specific that I want or I am in the area and just need a couple of things... -
ARCHIVED Gluten On Dried Figs?
Juliebove replied to over50's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I don't know about figs but chopped dates are often dusted with oat flour. If it is that, I doubt that soaking and washing it off would be enough to get it all gone. -
ARCHIVED Extreme Couponing
Juliebove replied to Juliebove's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I did go to your link. I downloaded the toolbar. Really didn't want another toolbar. Looked at all the "grocery" coupons and I would have to say at least half of what was there weren't even grocery coupons. Not a thing I could use. There were a very few things listed that I do eat but I don't need them now and at the store they were for, I wouldn't buy... -
ARCHIVED Extreme Couponing
Juliebove replied to Juliebove's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I went to one website. Not sure if it was the one you told me about or not but it only showed the Safeway sales and I don't shop there much because the prices are pretty high. AFAIK, trading coupons isn't legal. But I could be wrong. I can hold off on the egg coupon until the end of the month when my husband is home. He eats eggs. I don't and my... -
ARCHIVED How To Suggest Idea Of Going Gluten Free?
Juliebove replied to revenant's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
All you can do is suggest it. I know of several people that I think could have celiac. Either themselves or their kids. I just said something like... I heard or read that those symptoms could be celiac. You/they might want to try a gluten free diet. In some cases they said that was interesting but they all pretty much blew me off. So I gave up. -
ARCHIVED Target

Thanks! This sounds like a good change then! -
ARCHIVED Extreme Couponing
Juliebove replied to Juliebove's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I've got coupons! QFC just sent me coupons for four free items, one of them being eggs and I'm allergic! I can't remember what the other three were. They are not things I would eat either but there is one my daughter might eat. I will still get them and if we don't use them I will give them away. There are also a bunch of cents off coupons, most for... -

ARCHIVED Breads & Baked Goods- Any Tips On Keeping Costs Down?
Juliebove replied to HopefulMama23's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Note that I am copying this recipe. This was posted to alt.support.celiac some years ago. Makes a quick, cheap, good tasting bun. "Hi All It's been quite a while since iI posted but I just had to post a very simple delicous bread recipe I have developed. Like my mother used to say "necessity is the mother of invention". We travel a lot for Ken... -
We shop at Target 2 to 3 times a month. We love the snack bar because we can get nachos, popcorn, diet lemonade and daughter can get a hot dog with no bun. But today? There was NO snack bar! Just some signs saying they are remodeling and there is fresh produce coming. Now I don't know if this means we are getting a proper grocery section or not...

ARCHIVED Must Have Kitchen Tools!
Juliebove replied to bridgeofsighs's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My daughter got me a Slap Chop. I don't use it a lot. If I am chopping a small amount of things I just use a knife. For a large amount of things I use the food processor. But for a medium amount of things I use that. Works very well. I also use my kitchen scissors a lot. I learned the trick of cutting food into bite sized pieces with the scissors... -
Just saw it.

ARCHIVED Garlic Jim's Frozen Pizza
Juliebove posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We saw these today at Central Market in Mill Creek. Not sure how widely available they are. Daughter wanted a Pepperoni one. I got a cheese one for myself. Although I don't need gluten-free myself, I got that kind anyway because I don't want to bake gluten on my pans. I assume these will taste the same as we get delivered from them. They do not have... -
ARCHIVED Extreme Couponing
Juliebove replied to Juliebove's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Wow! That's a lot of stuff. Alas, I don't buy much of that kind of stuff or those brands. But I will check that website. -
ARCHIVED Extreme Couponing
Juliebove replied to Juliebove's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
No, I didn't check that website. I will. I don't currently have any coupons. I quit taking the paper a long time ago. I never found any coupons in it that I could use. -
ARCHIVED Extreme Couponing
Juliebove replied to Juliebove's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
When I buy things at Albertsons, I usually save about 30% due to their sales. But they don't sell the rice milk we buy. I do try to stock up on that when Bartells has it on sale. I buy my hummus at Costco. I don't think that ever goes on sale. We don't buy anything in the way of frozen vegetables or fruit. Only fresh or canned. -
ARCHIVED Extreme Couponing
Juliebove replied to Juliebove's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I never buy the reduced for quick sale stuff because if there is any (and there usually isn't here), it expires that day. It is unlikely that I will be going to the store that day for something to eat that day. No stores double coupons here at all. What sorts of items are you getting coupons for? We don't eat much prepared food. -
ARCHIVED Fried Green Tomatoes
Juliebove replied to sherrylynn's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I have made them with no flour at all. Just fried in a little oil. -
ARCHIVED Insensitive Family Members
Juliebove replied to smc's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
No suggestions but I can relate. Just last week, I had a problem where my van was in the shop. It wasn't done when I needed it so my dad had to run my daughter to dance class. We stopped at Walgreens on the way to our house so I could buy her a drink and a snack. We arrived at our house just when the school bus did. Now some Walgreens sell fresh fruit... -
ARCHIVED Digestive Enzymes?
Juliebove replied to Luvbeingamommy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I take PDA from Nature's Sunshine. I can't take any with Bromelain. They rip up my stomach. -
ARCHIVED Anybody Else's Kids Missing So Much School?
Juliebove replied to srall's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My daughter has missed 18 days and is in the 7th grade. Mostly due to D and part of that was caused by an allergic reaction to a med the Dr. prescribed. That took 5 days to get out of her system. Oh joy! -
ARCHIVED Why Am I Allergic To Everything?
Juliebove replied to Woolygimp's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Sorry, I just don't know the answer. -
My daughter has an allergy to wheat. If she touches it, she gets a rash.

ARCHIVED Why Am I Allergic To Everything?
Juliebove replied to Woolygimp's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Sorry to hear that. I have Fibromyalgia so I know what it is like to be in pain all the time. Just got over another flare and honestly don't know what triggered it. I do know I have to be careful not to overdo things. Perhaps that is what I did. It doesn't seem to take much.
