25% to 45% off Popchips

Popchips CouponAmazon has a 25% off coupon for Popchips, which you can then combine with the 5% to 20% discount you get for Subscribe & Save purchases. To get the highest discount, you'll need five items in your monthly shipment (and you can cancel the subscriptions the next month, if you don't want to continue receiving them). You also need to clip the coupon for each individual item you purchase (from what I can tell), then order them one at a time thru Subscribe & Save. If you don't want 5 different items, you can probably skip that and just add all your flavors to your cart at once. Just make sure your total coupons add up (about $5/item) on the summary page before your place the order. Combined with Subscribe & Save, you end up paying less than 50 cents apiece for the individual bags that work well in a lunch. The three ounce bags are less per ounce, of course, but you'll have to portion them out yourself (then again, that can work out ok, if you want larger portions for adults or to put out for a party).

There are several flavors (Chili Lime is one of my favorites, but I've added Sweet Potato and Thai Sweet Chili to my order this month. All the Popchips I've checked have been gluten free and say so, right on the back of the packaging. Since Amazon's product listings show the back side of the package for every flavor, you can double check this and the list of ingredients, if you have other allergies, before ordering.

Bargain Book - Make It Fast, Cook It Slow

Make It Fast, Cook It Slow: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking ($1.99 Kindle, B&N), by Stephanie O'Dea [Hyperion], is another one I bought at twice the current price! This cookbook does double duty: not only can you find recipes to use up your garden produce, you can use them to cook your meals while you are out gardening!
Book Description
Make It Fast, Cook It Slow is the first cookbook from Stephanie O'Dea, the extremely popular slow cooking blogger: affordable, delicious, nutritious, and gluten-free recipes to delight the entire family.

In December 2007, Stephanie O'Dea made a New Year's resolution: she'd use her slow cooker every single day for an entire year, and write about it on her very popular blog. The result: more than three million visitors, and more than 300 fabulous, easy-to-make, family-pleasing recipes, including:
  • Breakfast Risotto
  • Vietnamese Roast Chicken
  • Tomatoes and Goat Cheese with Balsamic Cranberry Syrup
  • Falafel
  • Philly Cheesesteaks
  • CrÈme Brulee
--and much more. Make It Fast, Cook It Slow is the perfect cookbook for easy, quick prep, inexpensive ingredients, and meals that taste like you spent hours at the stove.

Bargain Book - The Cooking Light Gluten-Free Cookbook

The Cooking Light Gluten-Free Cookbook: Simple Food Solutions for Everyday Meals ($3.99 Kindle), by the Editors of Cooking Light Magazine, has been on my wishlist for some time. Now that it's dropped in price, I've snapped it up.

NOTE: This book requires Kindle Fire/HD or select Kindle Reading Apps (Kindle Cloud Reader, Kindle for iPad or Kindle for Android); however, do note the warning in the synopsis below; I downloaded to my Kindle Fire HD (8.9") and it is readable, although the images tend to be placed in the background and the text often flows over them. On my iPad (which required updating the Kindle app to the latest version), it looks absolutely fine, so ignore the warning if you have an iPad (and probably on the PC, although I didn't test it there). It's also quite large, so you'll want to download it via WiFi, rather than using a cellular connection (if your device has one).
Book Description
Due to technical issues, The Cooking Light Gluten-Free Cookbook should only be viewed on the Kindle Fire at this time.

Cooking Light introduces The Gluten-Free Cookbook--the search for simple, healthy and delicious gluten-free meals is over. Cooking Light developed more than 180 everyday recipes that will work for the reader searching for a wide variety of satisfying and flavorful gluten-free dishes. Designed in a full-color, easy-to-read format, The Cooking Light The Gluten-Free Cookbook is the definitive guide to cooking gluten-free.

Questions from individuals who live gluten-free either out of necessity or by choice are answered all in one place. Within the pages of this book, readers will find the best kitchen tips and techniques and helpful information about ingredients that are the basis of gluten free cooking, including which grains, flours, and convenience products to use. This book offers simple advice on how to avoid gluten containing products-natural and hidden sources-and teaches what to look for on the nutrition label. Enjoy food previously sacrificed, such as pizza, pastas, meatloaf, sandwiches, breads, and even desserts! On every page, readers will find deliciously transformed, gluten-free versions of their favorite dishes-from quick breads to cakes and oven-fried chicken to spaghetti and meatballs, and more.
