How to get a FREE Easter Ham at Target this week….

Jamie here!

I stopped in Target this morning to see if they had any more Beauty Boxes left (they found on behind guest services – so YAY!) and I was excited to go grocery shopping.

The ad is a good one if you're prepping for your Easter meal or buying goodies in preparation for company because there's a coupon in the ad for $10 OFF a $50 food or beverage purchase.

I found lots of items I needed to get up to $50, including my Easter ham. The Spiral sliced Market Pantry hams are on sale for 99¢/lb this week, and mine was 10 lbs – so it was basically FREE after $10 came off at checkout! (My Target store did $10 off instead of a $10 giftcard…. works for me!)

Now what kinds of items are good deals in the food/drink section this week? Well here are a few that caught my eye:

Market Pantry 18ct Farm Fresh Eggs – 99¢

Market Pantry Spiral Sliced Ham – 99¢/lb

Market Pantry Frozen Appetizers/Entrees – Clearance Priced at $2.79 (Reg $4.29)

Chicken Cheese Taquitos
BBQ or Buffalo Popcorn Chicken Bites
Mini Chicken Sandwiches

Mission Tortilla Chips – $2.50

Market Pantry Frozen Vegetables – 89¢ BOGO 50% OFF (makes 2 packs only $1.34)

Market Pantry American Cheese Slices 24ct – $2.49 (Reg $4.29)

Lastly – I want to tell you about the Crayola Chalk 64ct. It is a HUGE box of sidewalk chalk and is great for Easter baskets (you can divvy up the packs to make it go really far!) I'll be using mine for youth group this Spring. Have the cashier price match Target.com where it's on sale for only $6.71, reg $8.39 (That's CRAZY CHEAP!)

Happy Target shopping this week – and if you're hunting down the Beauty Boxes just know they're sold out ALL OVER THE PLACE already so you'll definitely want to call guest services in advance to see if there are any that have been left around the store! Of course next month there will be another Beauty Box offering at Target.com – and we'll make sure to let you know when that one's live!

Jamie here! I recently tried out a new company I've been hearing about called Sprezza Box. Sprezza Box is a curated monthly box for guys – that sends you a few trendy accessories each month to keep you in style (i.e.tie, socks, sunglasses, wallet, beanie, etc…)

Think of it like a smaller version of FabFitFun for guys – and way less pricey 🙂

Normally Sprezza Box is $28 for a monthly box, but right now you can get a Sprezza Box for only $8 with code SPREZZAFB8.

Or if you'd rather, you can get TWO boxes for $20 with code BONUSBOX20!

I'm unboxing my first Sprezza Boxes tonight and I'll post the video here as soon as I'm done!

Ninja Cooking System with Auto iQ Review (This is the new one!)

January 26, 2018 by Laurie Leave a Comment This post may contain affiliate links, which means if you click on a link and purchase something, I may earn a small commission (at no additional cost to you.) See my disclosure policy HERE.

Ninja Cooking System with Auto iQ Review

Jamie here!

If you you've been following Laurie's videos on the PPP Facebook Page, you'll see her Ninja on display ALL the time. She has the Ninja 4-in-1 which is able to do the work of four different appliances – a slow cooker, stovetop, steamer and oven.

You can brown your meat and then move into slow cooker mode – just one example of how it's becoming our favorite appliance ever!

The newest Ninja multi-cooker on the market is the Ninja Cooking System with Auto iQ.

For this chicken noodle soup I was able to saute the carrots, onions and celery for a few moments with the chicken and then move it right into slow cooker mode to merrily bubble the day away. YUM!!

Here are all the ways it can cook:

The newest Ninja multi-cooker not only does the work of 4 appliances, but also has a brand new feature – the Auto iQ.

Slow Cooker
Stove Top for searing and sauteing
Steamer (for rice and veggies or steam roasting)
Oven for Baking (Comes with a handy rack for that!)
PLUS the Auto-iQ function allows you to choose from more than 80 pre-programmed recipes so you just add the ingredients from the included cookbook and let the Auto-iQ handle the rest!

I really didn't anticipate that I would use the Ninja as often as I have. But because it does stovetop cooking I find I use my stove much less!

Take Dirty Rice for instance. This is one of my family's super frugal lazy-night meals – that we might serve with tortilla chips.

I normally use a big skillet to brown my ground turkey/beef. Then I move it into a soup pot with three boxes of Zatarain's dirty rice mix. Later that night, when I gt to wash dishes, there's always dried rice stuck to the sides and bottom.

In my Ninja I was able to brown the ground turkey and break it up on Stovetop mode (On High). Then I added the rice mixes and water to the pot and let it come to a boil. Next I turned the temp down to Low to simmer and cook the rice. The cleanup was SO EASY and I only used one pot!

This photo above is what's about to be chicken taco filling. For this easy recipe, I just tossed chicken breasts in the Ninja and covered with rotel, green chiles, black beans and seasoning and cooked on Slow Cooker mode on High for 4 hours. The Ninja beeped to let me know it was done so I could run upstairs and shred it. It then went automatically into Warm mode – and stayed hot for supper!

This here is my family's FAVORITE recipe currently – Mississippi Chicken!

I always stuff the pot with as much chicken as possible so we can be guaranteed lunch leftovers 🙂 Luckily it's a nice wide 6 Qt pot and holds about 7 chicken breasts if you really squeeze them in strategically.

My Favorite Part!

Even though I absolutely LOVE using my Ninja to cook, my favorite thing about it might not be what you'd expect… it's the nonstick pot!

Seriously guys – you can cook just about ANYTHING in it and when you're done just rinse it off and it looks clean again. I mean – you don't even have to WIPE it. (Of course I wash it well – but you get the point. Leftover food bits and grease just slide right off! It's absolutely amazing!)

The Ninja Cooking System with Auto iQ helped me survive the busy holiday season. It's helping me again now as we've been trying to eat healthier in the New Year.

It just makes everything feel EASIER. Not having to move from one pan to another simplifies the process. This makes it more enjoyable, and the cleanup is phenomenally easy. While I haven't tried the bake function yet, or the Auto iQ meals in the booklet – I'm looking forward to those too 🙂

Overall, this penny pincher gives it two thumbs up!

If you're looking to get a Ninja Cooking System with Auto iQ – here are a few deals:

Shark/Ninja sent this product for review purposes – and so we could share our honest opinion with you. My honest opinion is best described as… 😍😍 😍😍

Amazon Prime Cost is Going UP… Here’s How to Avoid the Price Hike

January 20, 2018 by Laurie 2 Comments This post may contain affiliate links, which means if you click on a link and purchase something, I may earn a small commission (at no additional cost to you.) See my disclosure policy HERE.

Amazon Prime Cost is Going Up

It's official – the Amazon Prime cost per month is going up, so if you're one of their many month-by-month customers you'll soon by paying $12.99 instead of $10.99 per month.

You can avoid this 18% price hike however by moving to the annual plan of $99.99 per year. (If you're not a member yet – make sure you take advantage of this FREE 30 Day Trial first!)

This allows you to pay just $8.33 per month when broken down – and in this girl's opinion – it is so worth that cost! For more info on WHY I think the cost is justified (at least for our family) check out my post Should You Pay for Amazon Prime.

To recap, you'll get all this for the $99 price tag:

1 . Free 2-Day Shipping on millions of items
– Plus lots of those items go on sale for less than in stores – those deals plus that convenience is SO valuable to me!

2 . Free Streaming Movies & TV
– You can cut cable and use just this if you like – there are a decent amount of shows/movies to choose from

3 . Free Kindle Books
– Find many kindle books for free – I like to go here and click Best Selling Free books, then sort by genre

4 . Amazon Family Diaper & Wipes savings
– Extra 20% OFF!

5 . Free Photo Cloud Storage

6 . Free Music Streaming

So if you're interested in Prime but wanting to avoid the price increase – it's worth looking into the annual membership at this point. Do you think Amazon Prime is worth the cost? Let us know why or why not!

Love Cheap Boots? These are just $10 and I LOVE them!

Cheap Boots from JustFab!

If you're always on the lookout for cheap boots – here's a deal you might want to grab…

Right now when you join JustFab you'll score your first pair of boots for only $10 Shipped! Choose from select styles of boots at just $10 each – or if none of those catch your eye, choose your first item from the ENTIRE JustFab collection of shoes, purses, and apparel for 75% OFF.

My friend Jamie got this really cute pair of boots for only $16.19 Shipped – here's what she had to say:

I was looking for a pair of stylish wide-calf boots that I could wear with my skinny jeans and I didn't want to spend much at all. I tried the JustFab offer and took a chance on these Tamia Wide-Calf Flat Boots because of their 5-Star reviews.

It was a little more than $10 because these boots weren't part of the “select styles” but I went for this $11.24 pair anyway. (Here's my screenshot below)

I was pleasantly surprised when they arrive and actually looked and felt like $45 boots! They are comfortable and fit my wide calves OVER top of my jeans – which I'm so so happy about! I love the sweater cuff detail and wraparound buckle design.

My favorite is the color, it's a brownish or greyish olive (depending on what light you're in) and so it looks great with black or grey leggings, or blue jeans. It's not a color you see every day!

I recommend reading the reviews on boots you're interested in to see if they're true to size, or narrow or wider than normal. Other than that I think you can't really go too wrong for $10 🙂

IMPORTANT NOTE: By signing up you'll be joining the JustFab monthly subscription program. To avoid receiving an unwanted shipment the next month (and being charged $39.95) you'll want to either login and skip a month, or cancel between the 1st and 5th of the month by calling their toll free #.

This New Customer offer is only good for a limited time – and the boots will be going away soon as Spring styles take over – so don't miss out!

I hope you were able to tune in to the FB Live here, but if not, you can go back and watch it now! (Also go see Shannon's Target Trip with all sorts of Toy Clearance!)

In other news – can we talk about Valentine's Day classroom party favors? With food allergies causing schools to crack down on goodies, we're really encouraged nowadays to look for healthy snacks and non-food items to send to school for Valentine gifting.

If you're a fan of getting it done EARLY so you can erase it from your to-do list, here are a few deals that popped up today on Amazon! I jumped on the Honest Juice Boxes deal so I am DOOONE with my party contribution for my last elementary school kiddo 🙂 (WOOHOO!)

Another fun option is Gold Fish – you can get a whopping 45 bags for under $10 here.(when you choose Subscribe & Save)

Or avoid the food altogether and pass out individual Sharpies for the slightly older kids (Just buy this big pack for under $8 and separate them!) – along with maybe tiny notebooks!

Amazon just dropped the price on this Sharpie 24-Pack Fine-Point Color Burst Permanent Markers to $7.60 ~ that’s just $.31 per marker!

If you're overwhelmed with shopping already this Christmas (eek!) here are a few tips to help you stay on track this Cyber Monday so you save a bundle without busting your Christmas budget this year.

Be sure to stay tuned as we continue to post MORE CYBER MONDAY DEALS all day long, and I'd love to hear what you would add to the list!

1 . Focus On Your List

Have you ever spent a whole day zooming back and forth from site to site looking at this deal, then that deal – and come away without having bought a THING? It's easy to get distracted on Cyber Monday… that's why our first tip is to FOCUS.

If you don't have a list yet, it's probably a good time to take 15 minutes and make one. (Or print out this awesome Christmas Made Easy Check List!)

Jot down everyone you need to buy for, and what they've asked for – and you'll have something to focus on as you sift through Cyber Week Deals.

2 . Know Your Overall Budget

We have all gotten carried away at a good sale before – so keep in mind your realistic overall budget and deduct from it as the day goes on. This goes hand in hand with the first tip – if you have a list to focus on, this step is much easier to keep up with!

I've had trouble with this myself some years – overbuying for one child and not realizing it until I was wrapping the last gifts on Christmas Eve (YIKES!)

3 . If You Find a Deal, Don't Wait

If you find a low price on something you need – BUY QUICKLY!

On Black Friday, if you missed out on a deal it was likely that that deal would come around again on Cyber Monday. But if you miss a deal on Cyber Monday you might be missing your list good chance!

Right now stores have to price-match one another just to stay in the competition. But afterwards… it's anyone's guess whether they'll drop the price back down so low.

4 . Let Us Do The Work FOR You!

You can spend hours and hours looking through online ads, searching for all the available codes and free shipping promos – and then price comparing it with every other store….

Let us do the work for you! The PPP Team be on our toes looking for the best deals, on the most-wished-for items, and posting them all day long here on PassionatePennyPincher.com.

5 . Use a Price Comparison Tool

If you still need a deal on an item we haven't covered you can use CamelCamelCamel to find out who has the best current price.

Not only can you compare current prices across online retailers – but you can TRACK the price for Amazon. That means you can look at the price history for an item on Amazon and see if this is likely to be the lowest price – or if it often jumps up and down.

Did you know…. The PPP Team uses Amazon Price Tracking tools already when we deal post. That's how we can confidently tell you if something is the lowest price it's likely to go!

Bonus Amazon Tips:

Look at upcoming Lightning Deals and if you find one that you are SUPER interested in, go ahead and add it to your cart 10-15 minutes before it goes live. The second it goes live and the price is revealed, you can buy it and beat out other shoppers.
Amazon Prime Members will get early access to Lightning Deals – so you'll DEFINITELY want to get a FREE Amazon Prime 30 Day Trial tonight. It'll also get you Free Shipping on even smaller items – which is super valuable!
