hOw thE COokIe cRumBLeS.

My sisters (and in-laws) were poking fun at my witches hat saying they weren't cookies and I shouldn't post them on my cookie of the day. They are only half right, if you use a sugar cookie dough and shape them into the hats waala you have witches hats. You could also use orange sprinkles for the brim of the hat if you wanted.


Anyways ... I decided it was time to change my cookie of the day and while shopping I found Animal Crackers on sale and picked up a bag.
I got home took my picture and proceeded to find a website that I could forward you to.
To my dismay I found out that
Archway & Mother's Cookie Company, Inc.
Have closed down they filed for Bankruptcy. I am speechless and a little teary.
(I'm a dork there only cookies for goodness sakes)
There are news reports all over the web here is one.
I have so many questions and the most important one is... Are they closing for good? And what about the COOKIES!
I have always loved there cookies a few of my favorites are...
Iced raisin cookies, wedding cookies (which I can only ever find in Idaho) and of coarse
Circus Animals.

What is your favorite Mother's or archway cookie?

Marshall is teary too. He can eat the whole bag of iced animal cookies on the way home from the grocery store. I on the otherhand contributed to their failure, preferring oreos.

First of all I LOVE THE WITCH HAT COOKIE so very cute. Second I hope you are not telling me that those cookies will not be around anymore. Is that what you are saying? I can eat the whole bag of those theirfore I never buy them. If they are not going to be around I may have to stock up and buy a freezer to keep them in with a lock that only J.D. has the key to.

This is a sad day. With the bad comes the good. My guess is we buy 10 bags of animal cookies a year when they are on sale for $2.50. So that will increase our wallet size to at least $25 a year. In reality we will most likely just buy a keebler product instead so we will still lose and not have animal cookies. So very sad.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann...

My last trip to Albertson's turned out to be the best! Yes, I know you are sick of me posting about shopping but I had a few of you ask.. How I do it? I ended up spending $1.77 for what you see in the picture. You ask how? Albertson's Ad had two double coupon certificates in their ad where they would double up to 3 manufacture coupons per certificate. There are a few sites I continuously go to print off coupons they are... Betty Crocker Coupon Cat Pillsbury Albertson's had a sale when you bought $30 worth of certain items you would get 3 $5 dollar coupons for your next purchase. I grouped all my coupons together to try to get the best deal I could. The first time I purchased it actually cost me $17 something but I had $15 for a next purchase. The trick was to get 6 $1 coupons which equaled $12 +$15=$27 ....out of pocket=$3 and then 3 more $5 coupons would print out and you beg your neighbor friends or anyone you can for more double coupons and go back I pretty much lived ...

Homemade doughnuts! yum!

I was just about to curl up in my blanket w/cocoa in hand and start my movie when I had a craving for doughnuts. These are made from refrigerator biscuits. And then deep fried. I topped these with powder sugar. Yum! GOOD EATS! And now I'm equipped with everything I need. ... I should probably find the tissue before I sit down.
