What Goes on Sale and What to Buy on Clearance in April

on
After really reading the grocery store sales fliers on line instead of just skimming them, I started to notice seasonal sales patterns, especially around holidays,  especially industry holidays like Earth Day. When I shop seasonally,  I’m able to keep my family in fresh fruit and vegetables for less when nothing is growing locally yet.  Shopping the April seasonal store sales doesn’t just apply to food. Many household items only go on sale in April too. It is a good time to start looking for that perfect Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or Graduation gift because the prices will be higher on those items in May and June. If you are a thrift or consignment sale shopper, April is the time to hit the stores! Thrift store donations increase in April when people start their Spring cleaning. For extra savings, pair the sale with a coupon from my  printable online coupon database  (affiliate link) because money saving coupons often follow national sales cycles too! April Seasonal

Vegtable Garden Birthday Cake

on

My in laws are dedicated and fantastic gardeners, mother-in-laws side in particular. Summer family gatherings are a special treat because everyone's offerings to dinner table are cock full of home grown vegetables.


Home grown vegetables and fishing trip bounty at a Four of July family pot luck.
I contributed the beet salad. Read my Russina Vinegrette Salad reipe on Lazy Budget Chef here!

So it made perfect sense, when gathering for birthday party to serve a gardening birthday cake to the guest of honor. Can you believe this is a homemade vegetable garden cake?!


Pin this vegetable garden birthday cake idea for later!



Husband’s cousin made this adorable garden cake for her dad. So clever and everything is eatable!
She made the garden shed from rice Krispy treats covered in fondant. The garden boarders are pretzel sticks wrapped in fondant, and filled with a generous amount of icing and fondant vegetables.

The piece de resistance is the comical bunny diving head first into the carrot patch. Silly rabbit!


 Bunny butts make me giggle every. single. time.

She left no thoughtful detail behind and made the cake with dairy free ingredients so I could enjoy a slice too. How thoughtful!

Would you want this as your birthday cake?
