Groupon has Coupons!

Posts may be sponsored or contain affiliate links. All opinions are my own.

I love Groupon.  I've tried new places that I may not have known about if it weren't for Groupon and have gotten great deals.  With 4 kids now every little bit helps.  It's not cheap going out and doing things as a family.  I recently found out that Groupon now has Coupons for SO many stores and businesses.  I try to remember to look for coupons before I check out somewhere.  Now I can check Groupon.  I can't tell you how many times I've thought to check for coupons before checking out and saved money on shipping or items I was already going to spend money on.   

These are just SOME of the places that have coupons.  


School is coming soon (too soon for this teacher) and my kids need new shoes.  I was shopping Famous Footwear  and got a great deal (buy 1 get one 50% and Free Shipping) on good quality shoes for my kids.  I need to buy 4 pairs now!  Plus shoes for me. Thank goodness for sales and deals and Groupon Coupons!

I do most of my shopping online because taking 4 kids (twin 18mos olds) is not usually very fun.  It starts with trying to find a double cart.  Twin Mom problems.  If I do go in store I prefer places like Target.  Groupon Coupon has 63 Target coupons listed. I don't even think that includes all the cartwheel deals.  I love getting amazing deals at Target.

It even has coupons for Amazon!  Let's just say.  I buy a TON on Amazon.  I'm pretty sure we get an Amazon package every week or more.  We love Amazon SO much that we even used it while out of town on vacation.  We learned they deliver to Amazon lockers and we could pick up items needed (not available in stores close by) near our hotel.  It was awesome!

If you are shopping for anything, check out Groupon Coupons before you go or check out to save some $$$.

Low Carb Cheesecake in the InsantPot - Keto, Atkins Friendly

I'm not the best cook.  I'm a need a simple recipe that's very easy to throw together quickly type of cooker.  I made low carb cheesecake in my Instant Pot - twice (so no expert here)


First you need this.  I've heard you can make meatloaf in this type of pan as well.  I haven't tried it yet.





The simplified instructions.

  • 2 - 8oz pks of Cream Cheese - room temp
  • 2 Cups + 2 tablespoons of Swerve - I used confectioners type because that's what I had.  Recipe said Granular
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 3 Eggs Room Temp
  • 1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

Prepare pan - line inside of pan with parchment paper keep from leaking (I didn't do this the first time and it was fine).  Put foil on the bottom of the outside of the pan (I did do this the first time).  Lightly grease inside.

Mix Cream Cheese, Vanilla, Swerve, and Whipping Cream.  Add eggs one at a time and mix just enough - don't over beat.

Pour mixture into pan.  Lay a paper towel on top not touching the mixture and cover with foil.

Put 1.5 cups of water in pot.  Put in the metal steamer rack.  Place pan on top.  Some people create a "sling" with foil to help pull it out.  I did for the 2nd and not the first.  It didn't seem much easier with.  Place pan on top.

Set Instant Pot to Manual 38min High Pressure.  When done let pressure release on it's own (natural pressure release) for 18min.

Refrigerate for 8-24 hours.

I put sugar free caramel and cool whip on top.  SO good!

If you don't have an instant pot, I have this one.  I got it on sale during Prime Day which is coming up on July 11, 2017 this year.

Instant Pot

I bought an Instant Pot from Amazon awhile back when it was on sale at Amazon.  I had heard lots of people talk about them and had no idea what the big deal was.  I use my crockpot when I can because being a working Mom is tough.  When the twins were little the after school hours to bedtime were TOUGH.  The big kids needed to get homework, dinner, and baths done.  The babies were cranky and exhausted and wanted 100% attention each.  I got the Instant Pot and I'm realizing there is SO much that can be done with it.  The meat tastes better than crockpot meat.  It's so fast too.  I've only made a small fraction of what you can in it.

I got this one on Prime Day last year.




Prime Day is coming up again.  I wonder if it will be on sale again or maybe the Duoplus.


 

I highly recommend getting and instant pot for everyone especially working moms with kids or anyone with a family.  I'm on a Facebook group where people share recipes and foods made with their IP.  It's amazing.  They even take it on vacation when they are at a place with no kitchen.

I've made various meats (beef, chicken, pork, etc) and I even made Cheesecake.  I'm going to start trying the Keto diet and made LowCarb Cheese Cake.  It is SO good.
