Cub Foods Run

By -
First of all, you have to love a store that lets you used EXPIRED coupons - for up to three months after they expire! That is Cub Food's policy - which can help compensate for the fact that they don't double.

Everything you see, cost me less than $17! I can't itemize for you as I can't seem to find the receipt but soups were $.39, goldfish crackers were $1, Chunky soups were $1.25...and then comes the coupons! I had expired coupons for FREE hot dogs and FREE macaroni, coupons for all the soups -- it was fun seeing the total drop!

Our Sentry store has Chunky Soup for $1.89 a can. The 20 cans you see would have cost $37.80...and the rest of the stuff would have to be added in. I love it when things are put into perspective, LOL!

A lot of these things have the Campbell's labels for education seals on them...and when you spent $15+ you got a bonus 500 points! This is particularly good for us as Sarah is in a contest at her school...that 500 should jump her considerably into the lead
=)

I DO think that dear husband has enough canned stuff for work to make it thru the winter...and the fish crackers are for the treat day at Sarah's school (they came to $.50 a bag).

My pantry is only lacking in a few canned veggies, instant potatoes (great for thickening soups and gravies), chili beans and crackers.

Do you have an "inventory" that you try to maintain?

Total for the month:

$100.00
-27.73 (week 1)
--------
$72.27 to go
-4.79 (Wags this week) 4 cans oranges for $.50 each, 1 gallon of milk for $2.79
-----------
$67.48 to go
-19.76 (this week: Copp's)
-----------
$47.72
$17 this week at Cub Foods (rounded up)
-----------
$30.72 to go!

    Holy buckets! Our Copp's has Chunky for $2.89 a can - which would bring the 20 can total to $57.80!! That is almost 4x what I spent for the entire lot!

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 ...
