You are going to love this easy crock pot chicken fajita soup recipe. I’ll bet my avocados on it!
I’m really glad that no-spend January is over. I felt like I was a hermit for a month. I tried to stay away from all my favorite places just so that I wouldn’t get the urge to spend. Target, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Starbucks, Kohls. All off limits. I would get coupons emailed to me and I would delete them right away so that I wasn’t able to see what great sale they had going on. And I’ve convinced myself that I missed some of the best sales ever last month too.
That’s what staying in the house for a month will do to you.
Yesterday I decided that I was going to splurge and go to Michaels and Joanns after I dropped the kids off. I had coupons for both stores and a partially used gift card to Joanns. I was excited but gave myself a limit of twenty bucks for each store. That might not sound like much but when you haven’t spend anything on yourself (besides the occasionally Starbucks slip up) in a month, it’s a lot.
Plus, I am a clearance monster so I figured it would get me a few things anyways.
I started at Michaels and I found some awesome laminated burlap sheets right away. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with them – either get crafty or use them for photos – but at 49 cents a piece, I had to grab a few. I stumbled upon some super discounted storage bins and popped those bad boys in my cart. Wasn’t sure what to do with them either but they were adorable and cheap. I grabbed two mini spice jars with the cutest little hinged lids and to the front to check out.
I had a 25 percent off coupon your total purchase so every time I grabbed something I would calculate the new total. 49 cent burlap sheets? Oh you mean 36 cent burlap sheets, right? I literally was feeling like a rock star when I went to check out. [Sad, but true.] My total before coupons was 16.80. What what! Well under my twenty dollar max I had set for myself. Now here’s my coupon. New total 16.18. Excuse me ma’am? I’m no math whiz, but I think your computer is lying.
Until you read the coupon and it tells you that it can’t be used with clearance items. Bubble bursted. Rock star moment over. I need a cookie.

I love my crock pot AND my soups — this is perfect for February! It’s still pretty miserably cold where we are 🙁
Kelley says
Oh booo for cold miserable weather! Hope it warms up fast!
Jaren (Diary of a Recipe Collector) says
Love Michaels and Joann’s! That stinks that you didn’t get to use your coupon! Hate it when I do that!
I’m loving this soup! It is totally my kind of meal!!
Kelley says
Thanks Jaren! Yea I was bummed, but it was my own fault I guess! haha.
Joanie @ ZagLeft says
I never read the fine print on coupons and it can be so frustrating. This soup looks so good with those wonderful slices of avocados on top plus you made it in your crock-pot which makes it a huge win!
Kelley says
Agreed! Everything is better with avocado! 🙂
amanda @ fake ginger says
Uggggghhhh, I hate that! Normally I’ll just go to Michael’s for one thing and, of course, it’s on sale because everything is always on sale at Michael’s so the coupon never works. Annoying.
This looks delicious though! Love the gooey cheese on top!
Kelley says
The coupon said “25 percent off your entire purchase, sale included” so I just assumed it meant clearance too. Gah. I should have read the fine print. Oh well, still got some good deals. And a cookie.
Sherri@The Well Floured Kitchen says
I’ll have to check out my local Michaels for those burlap sheets! I did know that the coupons aren’t for clearance, but it is a bummer 🙁 Coming home to this soup sure would cheer me up! Love that it is made in the slow cooker, perfect for shopping days!
Kelley says
Thanks Sherri! I found the burlap sheets in with the scrapbook paper.. such a steal!
Meg @ The Housewife in Training Files says
Oh such a bummer! But the burlap sure is pretty!
Kelley says
Thanks Meg! It is pretty and I still got some good deals, but man! I should have just read the coupon!
