Brands to Watch This Week

OFF – I hate bugs, so I'm always glad in June when bug spray goes on sale! Watch for savings of at least 25% off, but in stores like Rite Aid and Walgreens, the savings can already be as much as 50% off.

Sunscreen – This month, there will be a lot of competition in the sunscreen category with brands from Neutrogena to Banana Boat squaring off for your business. Watch for pricing of up to 50% off. For an interesting read about sunscreen brands and their overall effectiveness, check out this article that was featured last week on CNN - Environmental Working Group Report on Sunscreen. No matter which brand you wind up with, be sure you're getting it on sale!

Oscar Mayer – In anticipation of 4th of July festivities, watch for Oscar Mayer hotdogs on sale. I don't like to pay more than $1 for any hotdogs (all-beef), so this next two weeks is a time of year when I'll be stocking up.

Johnsonville - This is a brand staple in our house, so if I can get these on sale for $2.99 (before coupons), we'll be buying lots of brats and sausage to hold in the freezer for the winter. My one caveat is that I hate Johnsonville's packaging - it's not conducive to a long winter's nap in my Frigidaire, so be sure if you're going to freeze these for much longer than a month to switch the packaging out to your own.

Dreyers/Eddys - If you haven't stocked up on summer treats, ice cream and novelties, there's still time. Dreyers has the whole line on sale and there are some catalinas out there on top of it.

Falling Prices

Raspberries – I picked the first two from my own yard (two berries, not containers) but raspberry season is here. If you have to buy them in a store, $1.99 or less for a pint is going to be a good price. But my advice would be to hit your farmers' markets for these babies, and barter for them if at all possible. You've got great stockpiles - get creative with them!

Sweet Onions – Whether you're on the west coast and blessed with Walla Walla sweets, on the east coast and get those great vidalia onions, or anywhere in betweeen, sweet onions are in season, so look for them at .99c a pound or less.

Generics – It is week three of the month, so watch for the monthly big push of generics on sale!

Chicken - Hindquarters and drumsticks - .99c or less - perfect for the BBQ.

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 ...
