Thank You Betty Crocker and General Mills--Gluten-Free Foods

Betty Crocker Gluten-Free Mixes: Brownies, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Devils Food Cake and Yellow Cake Mixes now available.

Betty Crocker has gone Gluten-Free :) I found these yesterday at Hy-Vee for an amazing $4.09.
It may seen high for most, but when you shop and eat Gluten-free this is $2 to $4 less than other mixes that are available.

At long last a Major Food Manufacturer has gone Gluten-Free. I have passed up Betty Crocker coupons for the last 28 years as I have Celiac Disease along with ALL 6 of my biological children, my parents, and most of my siblings. Gluten-free mixes are available in health food stores and from small companies but ignored by the major manufacturers until now.

Thank you Betty Crocker for the gift of having simple baking mixes and priced fairly. Maybe I will even be able to use a coupon soon!!!





General Mills Gluten-Free Chex
One of the disadvantages of being Gluten-Free is that there were no cereals we could eat that didn't have sugar added. Almost all had Barley Malt added and even Rice Krispies was off limits.
“For the first time, people looking for a tasty, gluten-free cereal can shop the main cereal aisle at their market without paying a premium. General Mills Rice Chex led the way in 2008 as the first mainstream, gluten-free cereal readily available to those consumers who: suffer from celiac disease; are gluten intolerant; or, choose to limit or remove gluten from their diet because of a lifestyle or wellness choice. Without sacrificing quality or taste, GM has taken the requisite steps to ensure against cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients and products, and has tested each gluten-free formula based on FDA proposed regulations.

General Mills has now made many of their Chex Cereals Gluten-Free which means I get cereal again and it is vitamin fortified and lastly I can use COUPONS!

The Gluten-Free Chex include Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Honey-Nut Chex, Chocolate Chex, Strawberry Chex, and Cinnamon Chex. The old formulas of the Chex products are mostly off the shelves and we are now spying most of the new Gluten-Free Marked Boxes. At long last we can make our own puppy-chow cereal mix, chex mix and eat cereal in the morning. Becca and Kasja love the Chocolate Chex and carry it around in their little cereal containers for easy snacking.

With this weeks double coupons I will be picking up inexpensive Rice Chex, Chocolate Chex and Honey Nut Chex at Kmart. Who would ever have believed that I can double coupons on cereal?

Check out the Gluten-Free Chex webpage for Gluten-free Chex Receipes.

Thank you General Mills for caring about those who eat Gluten-Free and making products we now can utilize and even more important, joining with the Celiac Disease Foundation and the Celiac Sprue Association raising awareness to the disorder. Recent research now estimates that 1 in 100 Americans are now affected with the disorder, and many will not know they have it.

Garage Sale Find--Becca's Angels Provided

With our move to the country, I made myself "rules" about Garage Sales. Most of the rural communities have Citywide sales and that is the only time I can head out of town for a sale. I can only visit the Garage sales our small town and when I do errands in another town. Otherwise it is too far to travel and waste too much gas and put too many miles on the car.

The holiday weekends especially July 4th there are never any good sales, just like there are no coupon inserts. Both rules proved wrong this weekend.

I saw an ad for a sale today earlier in the week and when Doc and I headed over to the hospital to round and hit up Saturdays Farmers Market at the library and I remembered I wanted to visit the one and only garage sale. We stopped by and it had many antiques and vintage items for really cheap, but I am in the midst of clearing out clutter so passed on everything. Just as I was leaving I heard the owners of the sale talking about hooking the laptop and remembered "why" I had wanted to stop in the first place.

They were selling a laptop and when asking about it, soon discovered they were selling EXACT laptop Becca was saving for. Navy Blue and all. The owner was a lady with disabilities who uses a walker had bought it for herself but once home discovered it was "TOO SMALL" for her to use. Just the same reason why Becca wanted a new one to lounge on the couch with on her bad days when she is too sick to use the desktop.

They had bought it just two months ago and it had been just sitting used only twice!! Asking the price they said $125 and I offered $100. Sold! Explaining that my daughter who is 19 wanted it because her hands are tiny, and her arms with their elbow contractures too weak to lift her full size laptop. She has been on the computer since she was 2 years old and it is her lifeline to the world.

The Tiny Titan's Mini Laptop is blue to match her new blue scooter for her mobility. She was excited and it was a welcome diversion from not feeling well until she discovered "the book was missing". Oh well, Monday I will be on the phone calling to get "the book" and unsticking Becca on the issue. In the meantime I got it hooked up to our home network and it is working well.

On the bright note: I got a $300 laptop for $100!!
Acer Aspire One 8.9" Screen with XP instead of Vista (Becca doesn't like Vista).

This bargain find is just another miracle from God that he has our needs in his control. How else do I explain this gift? It is just another miracle in Becca's life.

Postscript: Becca was just looking at the laptop and discovered it had a brand new 8 GB Samsung Memory Card (about $40) in the card slot ... I had just told Doc Wednesday that I needed a bigger memory card for Nikon Camera he bought me for Christmas before Marissa's September wedding and our trip to California. God provided another blessing...
