Lady Lee Milk

Where can you find good prices for milk? Look no further than Grocery Outlet on Monterey Road in San Jose. A gallon of two percent Lady Lee Milk varies from $2.59 to $2.69, but I've purchased it as low as $2.49. And, it tastes good, too. I'm pleased to say it's never spoiled before the "Use By" date either. You can't beat great-tasting milk at a bargain price.

Baking Turkeys

I finally baked my first turkey today, and it turned out good, juicy and tender, just the way I like it. It weighed just under 10 pounds. I rinsed it thoroughly, removed the parts inside, and rubbed margarine all around it. Then, I sprinkled it with salt and pepper. I baked it at 325 degrees for about two and a half hours. I let it rest about 20 minutes before cutting it. Now, I've got plenty of turkey for sandwiches, soup, and anything else I chose to make with it. I'll use the neck and other pieces for stock later on. All in all, it was a good first effort.

China Rose Is Excellent!

My family and I went to China Rose Restaurant in Milpitas for the first time last Sunday and loved it! Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. And the service was wonderful. Our appetizers came shortly after we ordered. The pot-stickers and spring rolls were delicious, as well as all the entrees and soup. We ordered two family meals with two appetizers and two soups for just under $50.00 and enjoyed each dish with hot tea and water. The Sweet and Sour Pork, Mongolian Beef, and BBQ Pork Fried Rice were especially delicious. I'll definitely be back again!

Lane Bryant Clearance

I went to Lane Bryant yesterday at Oakridge Mall in San Jose hoping to find one, or two, long-sleeve sweaters, or blouses. I ended up getting two solid-colored short-sleeved shirts on clearance for $9.99 each! Everyone could use a gray and blue shirt. Thanks to a $15.00 Lane Bryant gift certificate, I only paid a little over $5.00! Another good buy on summer clothing.

Tuesday's at Old Navy

This was news to me! Old Navy gives customers 10 percent off every Tuesday. I found this out yesterday at check out from an employee. Hey, a little bit of savings is better than none at all. What I purchased was on sale, too, so the savings was great! I'll try to shop on Tuesday's at Old Navy more often.

Great buys on Clearance at Macy's!

If you're still looking to get some good buys on summer clothes, be sure to look through the Clearance racks at Macy's. If you love Macy's like I do, you know they have sales every week. And if you shop while there's an additional 10, 15, or 20% off, you save even more! A few weeks ago, I found a comfortable, stylish pair of Capri jeans on clearance for 75% off, plus an additional 20% off at Macy's Valley fair Mall in San Jose. I was so happy because I've admired these pants for months and was waiting for a price reduction. At almost $8.00, I definitely bought them. A few months ago, I purchased two casual Capri pants and blouse sets, plus one shirt for only $29.00 at Macy's Oakridge Mall in San Jose. This was my best buy of the summer! For the styles and prices, nobody does clearance better than Macy's.

Panasonic Lumix

I purchased a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP2 digital camera a few months ago. I chose this camera because of the price, features, ease of use, and picture quality. I must say, I don't regret my decision. And for $135.99, it was a steal! Another great product from Best Buy.
