Today's Copp's Run

By -
Simple. One transaction today:

I got one of the Angus beef roasts to test my theory.
They do NOT count for the Angus perks - ONLY ANGUS STEAKS do.

1 Angus roast @$2.99/# = $9.84 (was 14.77)
2 boxes Rice Krispies @$1.99 (was $3.38)
1 Rhodes rolls @$2.59
2.26# gala apples @$.99/# = $2.24 (was 2.92)
5# bag Idaho potatoes @$2.99
2 gallons Skim Milk @$3.09

Coupons used:
two $1/1 Deans Milk (doubled), $1/fruit WYB 2 Kellogg's Cereals (doubled), $1/2 Kellogg's Rice Krispies (doubled), $1/1 Rhodes (doubled), $1.50 off produce, $3.50 off meat, $3 (from last week's OYNO).

Total: $36.21  for $9.82 - saving 73%

The roast went right into the crock pot with carrots, potatoes and onions - a bit of onion soup mix and bottle of beer. It's been simmering since 9AM and should make a wonderful dinner with those garlic Rhodes rolls.

I plan to get another meal out of that roast -> we will have beef stew, created out of the leftovers, probably on Tuesday of next week!

What did you get at the stores today?

    I think my favorite part of this post is the great 50s style image (woman in heels with shopping cart!). LOL! :-)

    That would be me Donna. Well....me, plus 100 pounds and longer hair that is blonde.

    I usually hit the store in my "uniform" - a Suit or skirt set combo that I wear to my Tupperware events. Heels of some sort are a given.
    If I wear jeans, it throws the cashiers off...

    I am so jealous of the deals you can get at Copp's!! I'm rather unlucky in my area with only Price Cutter, Walmart and Kroger. I do okay at Kroger - but not NEAR what I could at some of the other chain stores.

    Never Fear! By the end of the year, Walmart should have their grocery beefed up. With their price match policy, you can do one stop shopping!

    I heard that Kroger just killed their double coupon policy -- is that true?

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!

Chili Dog Casserole

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 ...
