Many moons ago when I was attending Junior High, a new pizza place opened right by our school Rocky Rococo’s!  None of us had ever heard of this pizza, but being teenagers and having a love of hanging out together and pizza we had to try it!  One night after volleyball practice a bunch of us headed over to Rocky Rococo’s to try it out.  Well 25 plus years later, it is still a weekly meal for me! Usually I order delivery, but about once a month we still go to the restaurant to sit down to enjoy the atmosphere and the nostalgic feeling it brings.

 

If I had to choose my favorite product at Rocky’s, I honestly do not think I could pick between the breadsticks or the pizza.
WE HAVE to order the Family size breadsticks which comes with Marinara sauce and Cheese sauce to dunk these AMAZING sticks. (though granted they taste JUST AS GOOD WITHOUT BEING DIPPED)

The Pizza I LOVE is the Sausage, Mushroom, and Extra Cheese Pizza. Typing this is just making my mouth water!  Guess what I think we may be having for supper tonight?  They also have a new Sweet Sticks…We tried the white frosted with raspberry drizzle, and they were AWESOME!  I cannot leave out the Salad Bar (at most locations) & the Pastas (red or white sauce) they offer!

 

What makes Rocky’s Pizza different?
1.  The FRESH dough (white or whole wheat) is made daily using FOUR different rising processes
2.  The 100% REAL WISCONSIN CHEESE
3. The sauce is not too spicy or too sweet, JUST a tangy PERFECT goodness.
4.  Lets not forget their FRESH toppings, including THE BEST hand-pattied Italian sausage you will EVER EAT. (Did I mention their Italian sausage is HUGE)
5.  How about the SIZE of their pizza! They do NOT CUT corners! More pizza for your buck!

You can find Rocky’s ALL OVER Wisconsin, there is even one in Minnesota & Washington State. Click HERE to find one that is closest to you! If you do not have one in your area, YOU CAN STILL try their amazing Pizza and Dipping Sauce, they Ship HERE! It works GREAT on homemade pizza or with ANY breadsticks or french bread. Find some recipes to use their sauce with HERE.

Did you know?

A few weeks ago, my 2 year old daughter got into my coupon tote,  and DUMPED ALL MY INSERTS OUT, all over the kitchen floor!!!  I was DEVASTATED!!!
I file them as soon as I get them so I know when they’re from , and use post it notes on the dividers, with the date on them…

I was POSITIVE I would NEVER be able to sort them all out and get them back in the right order….. Well, as I was sitting on the floor with Inserts all around me, I picked one up and noticed, in tiny writing on the crease, or “binding”, that there was a DATE!!!

So I looked at all of them, SmartSource, P&G, and RP, and sure enough, they all have it!!!

(pictured above, one each of RP, SS, and P&G, with the date circled in red)

I went from devastated to ecstatic in seconds!!! Other than the 2 inserts that actually flew all over, the rest took SECONDS to pick up and put back in the right place!!!

Now for those of you that already knew this, LOL YOU ARE QUICKER THAN ME!! But for those of you that didn’t,  don’t feel bad… I have been couponing for a YEAR and just found out!! I am sharing this so that everyone knows what to do in the case of the 2 year old Destroyer VS Your Coupon Inserts 🙂




Phone Scam: MANY are falling for this!

By 2 Comments

One Stop E-Solutions

Update from November 13th, 2013 The Phone call I just got now was from an “Unknown Number”

Number on Caller Id: New York Call – 1-888-458-9001

This is a SCAM, but because of what they do people are falling for it! PLEASE pass this information on and lets stop them!

When they call they have your name and make you believe they are calling from your computer provider or Microsoft Windows tech support and that there have been reported problems with windows software and just want you to check your computer. They will then give you a run prompt command to do on your computer to check. OF COURSE it is going to pull up this warning, it is part of the windows system! WHEN this warning pops up…WHICH MIND YOU it is just a picture of the warning… but not many people realize this, they say OMG close it quick! Here is what we need to do to get rid of it…and they try and sell you a “software program.”

I did listen to his whole call…I knew it was a scam from my husband warning me about it awhile back…but being in telemarketing in the past, I was curious as to how they were tricking so many people! THEY ARE GOOD! Needless to say he was not real happy with me when I called him out and got VERY disrespectful with me.

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!

Luden’s Throat Drops & Supplement Drop Review

By Leave a Comment

Luden’s Throat Drops

When I was asked to do a Luden’s Throat Drop Review, I have to admit, it got a little emotional for me. Yes emotional. Reason being it brought back many childhood memories, WONDERFUL memories of my Grandmother. Let me explain…

Who remembers this box?

My grandmother at ALL TIMES carried a box of Luden’s Wild Cherry “Cough Drops” in her purse. ESPECIALLY on Sundays when we went to church. Through out the service my sister and I would dig through Grandmas purse grabbing one of these delicious little gems. To this day, whenever I see the Luden’s brand or even smell cherry, it reminds me of my Grandma.

Ok, Back to my review!

I have to admit, Until I was contacted to do a review on this product, I honestly have not had any Luden’s products since I was given them by my Grandmother. Imagine my surprise when I got a box with three different flavors. Orange Supplement Drops made with REAL Orange Juice, Wild Berry Assorted Flavors, and Sugar Free Wild Cherry. Of course I have to try the Wild Cherry first…

With it being Sugar Free, I did not expect it to taste the same as the “GOOD OLD DAYS”, but it really did! That amazing Wild Cherry goodness, No “Non Sugar” taste at all. (You know that taste I mean that some sugar-free products have) For fun I even had my son and husband try both the Wild Cherry Sugar Free & The Wild Berry and tell me which one was sugar-free…AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM COULD TELL!

I especially like the Wild Berry. The dark purple…YUMMY! I know they say to let it slowly dissolve in your mouth, but it took all I had not to bite into this one!


Mmmmm…I have saved the best for last! The NEW Ludens Orange Supplement Drops made with REAL ORANGE JUICE! AMAZING! Even better than the flavor is the fact you get 100% Daily Value of Vitamin C. My son thinks they taste like Orange Popsicles and though I can not get him to remember to take his vitamins, he has no problem remembering to grab a few of these each day! These are TRULY A MUST TRY!

Right now Luden’s is having a LaLa Luden’s Jingle Contest. Enter before June 29th on their website HERE. Click on the LaLa Luden’s banner at the top of the page. You can also print a $1/2 Ludens Coupon HERE.

Now, Who wants to win 3 Bags of the flavors I spoke about above? Enter in the Rafflecopter form below. I will draw TWO WINNERS!

Welch’s Filled Licorice Candy

By 12 Comments

Welch’s Filled Licorice
Strawberry & Concord Grape

When I was first contacted about doing a product review on Welch’s new filled licorice, I was a little skeptical if I would like it or not. I do enjoy licorice, but the idea of jelly in a stick of licorice? Hmm…Interesting I guess?!?  Not saying it would not be good, but sometimes I have a texture issue with foods, and I was not sure about the jelly inside the licorice. In my mind I was imagining the fruit snacks with juice inside, not one of my favorites. Within a few days of agreeing to do the product review, my box arrived…It was time!

I have always been a fan of Strawberry, so of course that was the first bag I opened. The immediate strawberry scent after opening peeked my interest further. 

First bite… WOW! GREAT Strawberry taste, licorice texture with a small hint of jelly, NOT a runny jelly though.

Second bite…Hmm…Kind of like a fruit snack, but better flavor, not waxy and blah.

Third bite, OH YES, this is going to be a new favorite!

Now it is time to try the Concord Grape…But first…Just one more stick of Strawberry!

Concord Grape, Same amazing smell when I open the Concord Grape Welch filled licorice, VERY pleasant. Biting into it, I immediately am remembering a childhood flavor…”What is that?” I think to myself!

HUBBA BUBBA GRAPE GUM…That is the flavor! I NEED to have my husband and son try these! Needless to say, they both REALLY enjoyed them, and my son enjoyed them so much that I only ended up getting that original stick from the bag, and since the original “Taste Test” My son has bought the grape bags twice.

Welch’s filled licorice is the first licorice of its kind, it is made with REAL FRUIT JUICE!  Together Frankford Candy LLC and Welch’s have partnered to make an AMAZING new licorice for adults and children which I am SURE will be a very big hit!

Welch’s Filled Licorice is available in Concord Grape and Strawberry at retailers across America. You can purchase them in 1.75 oz (Suggested Retail Price $1.09) and 3.5 oz (Suggested Retail Price $1.59)

I did receive free product to do this review, but at no time was I compensated for this trial or review, the opinions and views are mine alone.

I am a 50% Saver, not 90%…AND THAT IS OK!

By 8 Comments

Hi everyone Admin. Shelly here!

I have been couponing for just over a year. I have watched the Extreme Couponing show and seen the stock piles and stock piles .

That is NOT me, and that is NOT how I care to coupon. I do NOT coupon to get my total to absolute zero, and I hope that no one feels like they have to either in order to be successful at couponing.  I am a 50%-60% saver with coupons and will always be!

I used to feel in order to “fit in” to the coupon world, I had to save over 85%, THAT IS SO NOT HAPPENING. Every week I still need: 2 gallons of chocolate milk , 1 gallon of vitamin D milk and 1 gallon of 2% milk. There are never coupons for milk (in my area) so if its on sale…GREAT, if not, I pay full price.

I started couponing after I had my second child. I was tired of spending over $200 a week on groceries. I wanted to save money to help out my family. I did not need a stockpile of 100 toothpastes or 300 cans of soup, We just don’t have the room for all of that AND my husband told me if come home with 100 tubes of toothpaste he would send me to my mother’s (LOL).

What I do stock up on, is fruit boxes, cereal, and juice boxes. We use these very quickly and they wont sit in my cupboard for more than a month.

The big question is “What if I don’t have a coupon”????  You know what? I still buy the product if I need it. 🙂 My husband loves the fact that I save money, but he still has HIS products he loves and won’t sacrifice. The money that I save from couponing, following sales, and shopping in sale cycles allows me to buy his favorite shampoo, even when its not on sale. 🙂

I felt the need to write this to help any fans out there who THINK they are not GOOD couponers just because they still have to spend money on food or necessities 🙂 WE ALL Coupon differently, IF YOU ARE SAVING MONEY, Even if it is 25%, THAT IS STILL GOOD!

Cutting the Apron Strings – Do I have to?

By Leave a Comment

Cutting the Apron Strings

Above is my baby, my only baby… Alex. In one month Alex will be graduating High School and will be starting college in Fall. I honestly can not tell you were the time has gone, It seems like just yesterday his Father and I were taking him to his first day of Kindergarten.

Well, the time has come to let him spread his wings and fly and start a whole new chapter in his life, Time for Mom to “Cut those Apron Strings.”  Am I ready for this? NO, If it was up to me, I would be tucking him in my Apron Pocket and keeping him there FOREVER!

I have gradually been trying to prepare myself for this for the last few years. But guess what? IT HAS NOT WORKED! As the months have been passing, it is not getting any easier, and now that it is ONLY A FEW MONTHS AWAY, it is getting really hard!

Now…You would think he is going hours, or even a state away…he is not, he will only be about 25  minutes from home, which is STILL NOT MAKING IT ANY EASIER.

His father and him like to joke with me about it, seeing as I have informed them talking about it is “Against the Household Rules,”  Which actually charges them all the more to see my reaction. Just little things through out the weeks, like “Alex you should take that for your dorm room” from his Dad, or “Mom I will miss your cooking every night.” from Alex. (Now this would be sweet in most cases, but this is him being a little pain in the butt because when it comes to cooking, I am no Rachel Ray.)

I have ALWAYS been very involved in Alex’s life, and I will be the first to admit, sometimes to involved. I am one of those Mama Bear’s who is VERY PROTECTIVE of my cub, I always have been and ALWAYS will be! I always know where he is, who he is with, and what he is up to. I was one of those Mom’s who would have wrapped him in bubble wrap if I could have. He did not learn to ride his bike until he was almost eight because I was afraid he would hurt himself, YUP that is me!

When we went for his orientation we were told “DO NOT call them, let them call you!” The moment they said this, My husband and Alex both looked at me. I am pretty sure I even laughed out a little giggle at this thought, I can GUARANTEE YOU that will not be the case! lol.

How am I going to handle this? I am not sure yet…But I do not really have a choice do I? I am sure there will be A LOT of tears, A LOT of phone calls, and A LOT of Dinner Visits up in Oshkosh!

What do I know? I know I have one AMAZING teenager, who if still attached to my “Apron Strings” or Not is going to turn out to be one AMAZING Man someday. The string on the Apron may be getting much longer, but it will always be there, because he will ALWAYS be my baby!
