Doughnuts here we come!

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Hi again!  It’s almost spring, HURRAY!

I was watching some children playing and it took me back to the days when my kids were little.  One of their favorite things to do was have “sleep-overs”.  They would have a great time playing, maybe watching a movie, eating popcorn, running around.  It wasn’t exactly peaceful, but it was fun.

In the morning my boys always wanted O.J. and doughnuts for their friends and them.  Here goes how I got about 30 doughnuts for about 2 bucks!! And they’re delicious!

Ohh my Papa! Papa Murphy’s Pizza

Monday, March 16th, 2009

What would I do without my Papa Murphy’s pizza when I get a pizza craving?  Picture this:

It’s a cold windy March day. I pick up a take-n-bake pizza.. wait, it gets better.

That evening I start the oven, turn on the TV, have a fire, or a candle also gives that cozy feeling and TADA!  I’m all set.  Don’t Forget.. PJs and fuzzy slippers add the finishing touch.

But what about the cost?  First there are often coupons in the Sunday paper or in mailings.  All kinds of great pizza specials and they even honor expired coupons!

On top of that, you can get a take-n-bake club card and for every pizza or calzone you buy they will stamp it one time.  Plus, Thursday is double stamp day.  When you have 12 stamps you can get a Family Size one topping pizza for FREE!!  In my area instead of that you can substitute a fully stamped card for $10 off the pizza of your choice.

P.S.  For additional great deals, join the Papa Murphys eClub at www.papamurphys.com/eClub
