I love these planner ideas! As someone who is always looking for ways to stay organized and productive, I appreciate the variety of options presented here.

One tool that I’ve found really helpful for managing my to-do list is a getting things done app (https://productive.fish/blog/getting-things-done/) – XTiles. By using an app to track my tasks and deadlines, I’m able to stay on top of everything and prioritize my work effectively. Plus, many of these apps offer features like reminders and notifications, which help to keep me accountable and ensure that I don’t miss anything important.

Thanks for sharing these great planner ideas – I’m excited to try some of them out and see how they can help me stay on top of my busy schedule!

Comment on 26 Ways to Upgrade Your Basic Mac and Cheese Recipe by Allie Wilson

Lots of great ideas! We have tried several of them, I absolutely love the spinach and artichoke one! One my kids love, that I didn’t notice here, I thought I would throw out for anyone looking for another idea…. I like to pick up the chilled left over rotisserie chickens from Walmart for casseroles and stuff. They are cheaper when they are chilled and it saves me time. I usually split one between 2 meals. You can also just get the shredded fajita seasoned rotisserie chicken in the packages if you don’t have time to mess with the whole ones. Then starting with a family sized box of Mac, 24oz (we tend to get either velveeta or kraft deluxe, but any will do) made according to the package directions. Then add half of the rotisserie chicken, about a cups worth, a can of drained rinsed pinto beans, 3/4-1 cup Pace thick and chunky medium salsa (you can use whatever you prefer, or even a can of rotel if thats what you have on hand) alter salsa amount to preference. Last I gently stir in 1/8-1/4 cup mexi-blend cheese (fiesta blend if buying Walmart brand, cheddar or pepper jack can be used instead if preferred) I gently stir it in cold then let it all sit a couple of minutes until the cheese melts a bit then serve.

I make these for school lunches for my kids. I just use the chicken deli lunchmeat on them instead of tenders. They love them! That sauce is so good! Thanks for the recipe!

Comment on Saving Money on Bottled Water by Melanie

I buy the 2.5 gal version as it’s cheaper than the single gallons but that would be harder to do when you talking to work. This is the cheapest way I’ve found to buy spring water but still looking for cheaper ways. We were buying the 5 gallon refillable jugs and filling up. We had a local water place that would sterilize our jugs for us. Note I can’t find a place to do it and I don’t feel the way most are cleaning their jugs is up to par. I’m also recovering from mold toxcity so was afraid to keep using the 5 hall jug dispenser due to not being able to throughly clean the inside. I would like to offer some advice though. You stated your only running through dishwasher once a week while rinsing daily. If mold is a concern from the dispensers, I would highly recommend washing with soap daily or getting more cups as you may not be seeing mold in your cup but mycotoxins are almost guaranteed to be present in your cup. Mycotoxins are what causes the damage in the body but you can’t see or smell it. If rinsing was efficient at cleaning the cup, refilling with water to drink is essentially the same as finding your cup out. Just something to think about. That’s also why mold can grow in a dispenser as theoretically it’s self rinsing itself each time someone fills their cup up. I used to do this as well, rinsing/dishwasher but having to learn all the ins and outs of mold for recovery, I learned to buy a few cups so you have a fresh cup daily. I have 4 stainless steel insulated cups that I rotate to make it easier.

Is this post sponsored by Tyson? Because if it is, you’re not being clear about that which is in violation of the FTC guidelines. A little blurb under every post is not good enough.
