Happy New Year!


I don't know about y'all, but New Year's Day is right up there with Independence Day as one of my favorite holidays for cooking and entertaining. Half of the fun for me is flipping through my cookbooks and magazines, deciding on what new recipes to try out and which old ones to repeat. Of course, there are some dishes that aren't up for debate, like the Collard Greens, Black Eyed Peas, and my Grandma's Cornbread!



Perhaps I love New Year's so much because of the great memories I have of celebrating it with family and friends growing up, or maybe it's just the idea of a fresh start with new goals and dreams. Either way, New Year's Day is a perfect time to relax and enjoy family, friends, and food! Here's how we'll be celebrating New Years; the only way I know how - Southern style!
Appetizers

Grilled Sausage
with
Mustard and Remoulade Sauce

(from the December 2008 issue of Southern Living)

Main Course

Grilled Backstrap

Grits


Grandma Clara's Cornbread

Bloggy Business...

Hey y'all!
  • My Favorite Things and Organic Friday be on hiatus this week.
  • Since the Publix sales go through Wednesday the 24th in every area and all Publix stores are closed on Christmas Day, the Publix posts will be up on Friday, December 26th! Please check back then for all the deals and coupon match ups.
  • I'll be in and out (mostly out) until Friday, spending time with my family and getting things ready for Christmas as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus!
  • Thank y'all so much for reading Fiddledeedee and for telling your friends and family about this my little ole' blog. I can't tell y'all how much I appreciate the sweet emails and comments about how Fiddledeedee is helping y'all save money for your families. What a blessing that is to me!

TJ Maxx and Marshalls Adventures!


I have been a big fan of TJ Maxx and Marshalls for years. So when they asked me to use two $25 gift cards to do some Christmas shopping and show Fiddledeedee readers what kinds of deals there are to be found, I was thrilled! You can find so many gifts at incredible prices at these stores, and believe me, it was hard to stick to the $25 budget at each place.

Now, before I go any further, a note to those of you who know my husband. You’ll see several gifts for him, so please raise your right hand and repeat after me “I ____ (insert name here) do solemnly swear to withhold the privileged information that I have been given regarding Bradley’s Christmas gifts from him until December 26th”. Thanks, y’all!

Now onto the deals...


T J Maxx
Nautica Luxury Socks 3 pack (Reg Price: $20.00) $7.00
Nautica Dress Shirt (Reg. Price $45.00) $15.00
Nike Ball Cap
(Reg. Price $16.00) $5.00


Marshalls
Perry Ellis Luxury Pima Cotton Polo Shirt (Reg. Price $49.50) Paid: $10.00
Tri-Fold Leather Journal
(Reg. Price $4.00) Paid: $1.99
Laura Ashley Door Shoe Organizer (Reg. Price $14.00) Paid $7.00
KitchenAid Silicone Spoon Spatula (Reg. Price $8.00) Paid: $3.99

Grand Totals:

Regular Price $155.50
Total Paid: $50.97

Saved 67%!

There were so many more great items that I saw like quality brand name-apparel, gorgeous bedding, beautiful and unique serving dishes (that’s what I could really go crazy buying), Le Creuset dishes, and even Paula Deen marinades and sauces - all at about half of what you would pay in department stores.

What struck me was that you could probably find something for each person on your Christmas list at either one of these stores. One-stop shopping, y’all! So if you’re like me and still have some gifts to purchase, check out TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I might just see you there!

**Depending on your individual store's policies regarding competitor coupons and/or coupon stacking**

Remember:
  • Publix store policy allows (most of the time) for the "stacking" of 1 Manufacturer's Q and 1 Store Q (meaning a Publix Store Q OR Competitor Store Q) per item. Using more than this number of coupons on one item violates store policy.
  • If you have them, use two coupons for each BOGO deal (one with the "buy one" item, and one with the "get one" item).
  • If an item is priced at "2 for $4", "3 for $10", etc, you only need to buy 1 item in order to receive the sale price.
  • If you live in a state other than Florida or in West Florida, your Publix probably 1) Doubles coupons and 2) Will allow you to buy only 1 of the BOGO items at 1/2 of the regular price.
  • Always ask for a Raincheck if your store is out of a BOGO/Sale item you wanted, and come back later with your coupons.
  • Watch the screen during checkout or check your receipt immediately, and remember the Publix Checkout Promise!
  • Some regions (usually small towns) do not receive all of the newspaper insert coupons that other regions do. To purchase specific coupons that you need, check out The Coupon Clippers!
  • Fiddledeedee is featured in Be Centsible's weekly Grocery Gathering. Haven't seen it? Check it out here!

**Depending on your individual store's policies regarding competitor coupons and/or coupon stacking**

Remember:
  • Publix store policy allows (most of the time) for the "stacking" of 1 Manufacturer's Q and 1 Store Q (meaning a Publix Store Q OR Competitor Store Q) per item. Using more than this number of coupons on one item violates store policy.
  • If you have them, use two coupons for each BOGO deal (one with the "buy one" item, and one with the "get one" item).
  • If an item is priced at "2 for $4", "3 for $10", etc, you only need to buy 1 item in order to receive the sale price.
  • If you live in a state other than Florida or in West Florida, your Publix probably 1) Doubles coupons and 2) Will allow you to buy only 1 of the BOGO items at 1/2 of the regular price.
  • Always ask for a Raincheck if your store is out of a BOGO/Sale item you wanted, and come back later with your coupons.
  • Watch the screen during checkout or check your receipt immediately, and remember the Publix Checkout Promise!
  • Some regions (usually small towns) do not receive all of the newspaper insert coupons that other regions do. To purchase specific coupons that you need, check out The Coupon Clippers!
  • Fiddledeedee is featured in Be Centsible's weekly Grocery Gathering. Haven't seen it? Check it out here!

Publix Post PSA...

I'm fixing to put the Publix posts up in a second, but haven't had a chance to finish them (colors, bolded items, etc). I apologize in advance for the rough-draft look!
However, I WILL edit and repost them as soon as my children are tucked in for the night...so check back after 8:30 or so for the pretty and easy-to-read version!

Thanks for understanding y'all!

"Whose gift is this?"

It's been a while, but I'm joining in with other bloggers over at Rocks in My Dryer for Works for Me Wednesday to share some ideas that work for me!

I am not a big fan of rummaging around under the Christmas tree, reading through nametags and handing out gifts. Maybe I just feel lazy on Christmas mornings, but it seems to create chaos! Since our then 3-year old daughter couldn't read yet last year, I needed a way to easily identify everyone's presents. So here's what works for me:

Last year I bought a 1 roll of wrapping paper for each person, and wrapped all of their gifts in the same paper. This way my 3-year old (and mama and daddy) could easily identify her gifts. It was wonderful!


This year I have an abundance of half-used wrapping paper rolls. Instead of buying more wrapping paper, I'm printing out sheets with 9 square black and white photos of each member of our family on each page. Each photo will be cut out and attached to each gift, with an initial written on the bottom of the package just in case one falls off.

Let me know if this works for you too!
Merry Christmas, y'all!

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes...

Okay, so unfortunately there aren't any snowflakes in my neck of the woods, but I am loving Christmastime!

Here's my favorite thing this week: My Christopher Radko pitcher! I pulled this down from the cabinet (where it patiently waits all year long) for our Christmas party last night. It is so bright and cheery, and I really enjoy it!

What's your "Favorite Thing" this week? Every Tuesday, I post about one of my favorite things, and you can too! Here's how:

1) Post about something that you are thankful for. It can be something that makes your life easier, more beautiful, more delicious or more fun - something that you just love!
2) Please remember to include a link in your post back to Fiddledeedee.
3) Post a link to your Favorite Things post in the box below!
4) If you don't have a blog but have a favorite thing to share, please comment!
