DISCLAIMER: I have read most but not all of the above books. You can find my reviews for some of them by looking through my archives. All are described as having a Christian theme in their description so I assume that is the case. I do not take any responsibility if you find them unsuitable.

Many people think Roamans.com is a store for large women. Actually, their sizes start at 12 which in my opinion is NOT large. They are now having a buy one get one sale on denim which is a pretty good deal in itself. Today I received an email from them offering 40% off my highest priced item on an order.
I had seen a new denim shirt in their catalog I really liked so I decided to see what kind of deal I could get on it. Found the shirt in the Roamans online catalog, placed two of them in my shopping bag. Sure enough, one was free. Then I entered the 40% off code in the promotion code space and voila!, 40% came right off the price of the other one. I ended up with two shirts for less than the price of one after shipping. And I also didn’t have to pay the nearly 10% Tennessee state sales tax. Take a look at my actual order summary.
So, if you are not one of those blessed people who wear under a size 12 and you could use something in the BOGO denim sale, hurry to Romans.com and see if you can bag yourself a bargain. Use the promo code in the image to your left to get 40% off your highest priced item.

One item that has always been a staple in our freezer is breaded chicken tenders. You know – you’re running short on time or forgot to plan a meal and you grab some from the freezer and throw them in the oven. And almost everyone loves chicken tenders. Well that convenience is also fairly costly. I have found a recipe for chicken tenders that probably tastes better than the frozen ones, is fairly easy to do, and best of all saves money. In this area, I can usually buy fresh chicken tenders at Sam’s Club for at little over $2.00 per pound and sometimes for as little as $1.79 per pound at the local Kroger.
This recipe is my adaptation of several I have run across online. The possibilities are endless. Instead of saltines, you could use cheese crackers, Ritz crackers, or corn flakes, etc. You can also vary the seasonings to your taste. Go wild and experiment!
Check out Amanda’s Homemade Mocha Frappacinos on her Thrifty Thursday Post.
DOUBLE DIPPED CHICKEN TENDERS
Chicken br**st tenders (You can cut whole br**sts into strips)
2 eggs
flour
salt and pepper
saltine crackers (1 tube should be enough)
vegetable oil
Mix flour with seasonings. In another dish, beat the eggs and add more seasoning. Crush the saltine crackers finely. I like to use my food processor for this. Set up an assembly line for dipping – first the flour, eggs second, and cracker crumbs last. It helps to use only part of the cracker crumbs at a time because they clump up quickly. Heat the oil to approximately 350 degrees.
Dip the chicken tenders first in the flour, then in the eggs, and finally in the cracker crumbs, making sure to cover evenly. Place in hot oil and cook on both sides until chicken is done and nicely browned. Drain on paper towels.
Note: I haven’t tried it yet, but some recipes indicate that these are also good baked in the oven.
