I am feeling adventurous this week so I hunted down some new sources for Weight Watchers friendly recipes! All of the links have tons of inspiration so you are sure to find some heathly ideas.
The key is to keep it budget friendly by working with ingredients you have on hand and what’s on sale.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Acquirgy for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
It is getting to be crunch time and many of you are wondering how to best shop for your kids as they go back to school. While school supplies deals are easy to find, back-to-school clothing can sometimes be a whole different game.
When asked how I save on back-to-school clothing, there are two main points I like to hit. First, shop off-season. It may not seem as fun at the time to buy things your children can’t wear instantly, the amount of money you can save really makes up for it! I love to shop sales and clearance aisles when one season is over in preparation for the next year. For my girls, when they get those clothes the next year, they will be just as new to them as they were to me when I bought them off the rack.
Another idea is to shop online. Stores usually run better deals online than in stores. Better yet, you can find coupon codes to reduce shipping or get a percentage off your order. This can save you the crowds and hassle that come with taking little children shopping. Also, you can always shop through a cashback company for extra savings!
If you are looking for a place to start, check out Back-2-School at Bealls. You will be able to shop online or in-stores for fashionable back-to-school clothing and uniforms.
Win It!
One winner will receive a $250 gift card to Bealls.
How to Win it:
Leave a comment stating what back-to-school items you still need to purchase.

Pouchie Bags is a business based out of Greenville, SC (if you haven’t been there, it is a beautiful city). The goal of Pouchie Bags is to give a fun, creative alternative to plastic bags which just end up in the landfills. I was sent some of the bags myself and they are high quality and really cute too!
Pouchie Bags are reusable sandwich and snack bags that can be washed in a washing machine or a dishwasher. Since these bags are washable, you can quit spending money on and using those plastic bags that you have to throw away after only one use. There is also a pouch on the Sandwich size Pouchie Bags which can be used as a napkin instead of having to use paper towels. They are easy to take with you and are leak resistant! You can even choose to have custom embroidery included on your bags.
Another great thing about these bags is that they’re not as loud as regular plastic bags! We like to pack snacks for my three year old to help her sit quietly through Church and I feel like everyone can hear everytime she gets another handful out of the plastic bag. These are silent! I love it!!
