Today's Grocery Run - 6 transactions~!

By -
What a score - bags and bags of stuff for a fraction of the cost! I ended up with $227.23 in groceries for just $15.22 today! I hope that sentence alone was enough for you to keep reading this VERY LONG POST (sorry!)

I LOVE double double coupon days at Copp's and this time, finally, there were great sales to go with it! SIX different transactions meant 3 trips inside the store: for the first two, it was all about cereal. I got 20 boxes today. I know what you are thinking: "TWENTY BOXES??? Is she NUTS?" You haven't seen my husband eat cereal, LOL. 20 boxes will last MAYBE two months. (sigh)Transaction 3 was about the conagra deals and #4 was all about Lawrey's Marinades. I had to go back for a 5 and 6 as the Ocean Spray version of V8 Fusion was on sale for $3.09 - and I had $1 coupons. We now have 22 bottles of juice...which I KNOW we will go through and you will see a separate post about later. I did have $9.50 in Walgreen's Register Rewards that I used this time, plus my coupons - Here is my breakdown:

Transaction #1
10 asst boxes of Kellogg's Cereal@ $2.50
1 bottle of Ocean Spray (OS) juice@ $3.09.
That's it, LOL!

Coupons: 8 coupons for $1 off one cereal (all doubled), 1 for $1 off 2 boxes (doubled), $1 off OS(doubled). then I added $4 in RR and got $.05 for each bag (5) -- my grand total?
I got $31.99 for just $3.84 (88% savings)AND I got a coupon for $10 of my next order!

Transaction #2
10 asst boxes of Kellogg's Cereal@ $2.50
3 bottle of Ocean Spray (OS) juice@ $3.09
2 bottles of Lawrey's Marinade

Coupons: 5 coupons for $1 off two cereal (all doubled), three $1 off OS (all doubled) and two $1 off Lawrey's (all doubled). then I added $3 in RR and got $.05 for each bag (5) -- my grand total?
I got $48.70 for just $15.80 (67.5% savings) AND I got another coupon for $10 off my next order!
**note: I didn't used the $10 off coupon from the previous transaction as it MIGHT have kept the $10 coupon from this transaction printing...if you use the same offer on the same offer, it can cancel it out like it does at Walgreen's!

One trip out to the car and then back into the store!

Transaction #3
Time for the Conagra deals! Spend $15 in their items and get $5 back for your next transaction - buy 10 items and mail your receipt in for a $25 coupon pack from them~!

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 ...
