Blueberries & Babies

Ah, blueberries.  I was so excited to introduce these to Ella.  I picked out fresh blueberries, I cooked them, pureed them, portioned them out, froze them.  I waited until she had tried her veggies first (green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash - all wins in Ella's book).  She tried bananas, pears, prunes, and peaches.  She hated the peaches - too tart.  I sat her down in her highchair, changed out of my white shirt, and started feeding her blueberries.  Instant FAIL.  She puckered her face, started blowing raspberries, and flat out refused to take the blueberries.  So, seeing as how I have 7 more portions of blueberries to go up in the freezer, she will now be eating blueberry oatmeal at daycare ;-)



Ella's Failed Attempt At Blueberries


Oh well.  Maybe she'll enjoy the mangoes more.

I have more coupons to sort through tonight and add to my binder.  I've got a pretty good collection going and I have them sorted out pretty similar to what The Krazy Coupon Lady has in her binder print-outs.  I have a pretty big grocery shopping trip planned for this week, so we'll see how far my coupons get me! :)  Best part?  My grocery store is offering an extra $0.30 off each gallon of gas when you spend $50 in groceries.  I'll pick up a few extra circulars in the vestibule at the store and break my transaction out into a few different $50 purchases to maximize my "cents off" on gas (our grocery store has its own gas station in the parking lot - normally it's $0.10 off each gallon for every $100 you spend, so I'm particularly excited about this deal!)

Oh yeah! And, I scored a free full-size sample of Pantene last night.  According to Money Saving Mom, they're releasing more today!  Make sure you get yours!

So, tell me - what kinds of foods are your babies eating now?  Likes, dislikes?  What awesome coupon deals do your local grocery stores add?
