Grocery Shopping This Week

By -
First of all - YIPPE!! Copp's and Pick N Save stores will double coupons on Saturdays in May besides Wednesdays!

OK - I am a bit slow reporting what I got at the store this week, I DID make it to Copp's on Wednesday, even though I had a killer migraine (and ended up with a morphine shot) ;(

I did kind of goof, I could have doubled 2 more coupons but was feeling so bad that I just had to get out of the store.

OK -- I did 3 transactions and this is what I got:
-12 boxes Kraft Mac N Cheese @$.68 (it was a limit of four and I did four per transaction)
-2 packs Mission tortillas ($2 each)
-2 boxes Tornados (hubby's lunch)
-Oscar Meyer turkey bacon
-2 packs Yoplait Delight yogurt @$2 each
-Motts apple sauce ((store deal))
-6 California individual pizzas $2.50 (for hubby's lunch)
-Turkey franks (store deal))
-1 gallon skim milk
-1/2 gallon chocolate milk
-Motts apple juice ((store deal))
-2 Ortega taco seasoning packets
-refried beans
-4 hot pockets (for hubby's lunch)((store deal))
-2 Kraft meltdown cheese packs @1.66

Coupons used:
$1.11 came off all hot pockets, .41 off the turkey dogs, .62 off the apple sauce and 1.21 off the juice as store promos...2 Mission $.75 (doubled), 2 Yoplait $1 off (doubled), 6 California Pizza $1 (doubled), Orgtega $1 off 2 (doubled), 2 Meltdown $1 coupons (doubled), FREE turkey bacon (Kraft first taste promo), Tornados B1G1, FREE milk (up to $3.25) and then 3 Walgreen's register rewards that totaled $8

Grand total:
$14.73 out of pocket for $82.53 in groceries...that means I saved 82%.
I DID get a coupon for $3 off my next order - that I will use on Saturday when I go back for doubling.

Hubby now has quick lunch things, I have turkey bacon for my BLTs (got lettuce last week), I will pan fry a few tortillas for tostadas and save some for enchiladas - I need to pull come cooked off ground beef out of my freezer first!

$100 for the month
-14.73
----------
$85.27 left to spend.

Sorry so late in posting this - we have had just nasty weather and my head isn't happy - they are even talking snow tonight!

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
