Get Your Spice On With RawSpiceBar

RawSpiceBar obsesses over global flavors with their spices and blends tht enable home chefs of all levels to cook new dishes and discover new flavors from a different region each month.
They freshly toast, grind and blend their flavor kits.

Each month you will receive a kit.  October's kit was Oktoberfest.  Each kit contains 3 different spices along with recipe cards.
Each month is a new region.  Recipes are globally inspired and customized for your diet--organic, vegan, paleo, sugar free or gluten free.

The spices are portioned to serve 3 or 4 and are just enough for each recipe included in the kit.
I made the German Chicken Chicken Schnitzel and it was a hit!  
No, mine doesn't look like the picture of the recipe card as I used bread stuffing instead of the bread crumbs, using what I had available in the house.  It sure was good, and as I said, it was a hit with the family for sure.

RawSpiceBar  kits are delivered to your door each month.  You can also have them delivered to someone else as a gift.

Before ordering, you will fill out your own Flavor Profile Quiz.  This tells about yourself and your diet so they will pick the right flavors and recipes just for you.
You can even customize the recipes for your diet.
You can also choose to buy add on flavors of the spices you love if you choose.

The cost is low at just $8 per month with free shipping.  Give RawSpiceBar a try by just ordering for one month to see what you think.
Or, you can save even more buy buying a 6 month subscription at $7 per month, or take the best value with a 12 month subscription for just $6 per month!

You can easily cancel at any time.  All new orders ship within 10 days and subscriptions go out on the 10th of each month.

As an added bonus, refer a friend to RawSpiceBar.  When they sign up, you get a free kit!

I have really enjoyed all of the kits that I've received.  In the past we had some awesome baked cauliflower and at one meal we had the blessing of fancy restaurant bread to serve with our meal.

The kits are fun to receive.  It's fun to try the new recipes.....and good too!
I highly recommend giving RawSpiceBar  a try today.

Disclosure:  I did receive October's spice kit in exchange for a post.  I was not compensated in any other way and all opinions are my own.

Frugal Friday With Marsha -- Halloween Clearance

Earlier this week my oldest daughter woke me up with a facebook message saying she wanted to go to Walgreen's.  I told her to go then.  She told me she thought I might like to go too.  I knew she wanted to go and check out the Halloween clearance.  I didn't figure we would find much as it had been days since my middle daughter has messaged with pictures of all of the cool stuff they bought at 90% off.

We were pleasantly surprised to find that they did have quite a bit of Halloween clearance still on the shelves.

It's always fun, and a great deal to be able to shop after holiday clearance sales.  Sadly for myself, I often don't think ahead enough to make sure I have some money to shop with.  I did have some money in my pocket.  I could have bought more than I did, and probably should have.

I ended up spending $1.45 on what you see in this picture:

I bought myself the little witch headband for a little costume to have for occasions next year.  THe candy bar was a treat that didn't last long.  I now have treat bags to fill for next year, and I will use the activity books in gift packages throughout the year.

My daughter spent $7.03 for what you see in this picture:

I think she got the better deals buying all of the Nightmare Before Christmas items.  They are popular, and didn't seem to me to be Halloween specific.  She will use these for gifts as well.  She went and picked up the other Star Wars activity books for 5 cents each after she seen that mine did ring up for that price.


This got me to thinking too about those who would rather shop online.  I did a search for Halloween clearance.  Some results didn't show much of a discount, but here are some that did, although, not as much of a discount as inside the actual store.

Amazon

Target

Walmart

Did you pick up any good deals this week?
