A Few Things...

By -
I hit two different Walgreen's today to get in on that TP deal - one in Monona and one in Sun Prairie.
Buy three packs of TP and get $4 in Register Rewards.
Not bad, $11 for 36 rolls, right?
It' gets better!
Use the May coupon book to take $1 off each of them - bringing it down to $8!
Better yet, if you had the $.50/1 coupons, you are now paying $6.50 (plus tax).

I happened to have five $2/1 coupons that I got when I wrote them
(Do you Coupon 101 Class people remember my "suck up" letters?) ...and then used a $.50/1.
~~~~~~~~~~~
In Monona: 3 packs TP, less $6 in coupons, less $3 from May book -
I spent $6.89 and got back $4 in RR
(this makes the TP $.96 per pack, or $.08 per double roll!)

In Sun Prairie: 3 packs TP, less $4.50 in coupons, less $3 from May book -
2 cans Pringles at $.57 (on clearance), less $1/2 coupon
I spent $8.53 and got back $4 in RR
I would have gotten more Pringles for the radio can rebate offer,
but they only had 2 left)

Total Spent at Walgreen's $15.42, and I now have $8 RR
I have to quit with the TP --
I am going to become that lady who has 40 years worth...

On the way back from the Sun Prairie Wags -
I saw this on the curb! 
A Little Tikes Teeter Totter!!
It only needs one handle and I can do that! 
I LOVE people who aren't able to "fix" stuff!
=)

Here is the collection of items I ended up with after the Sun Prairie Stock Pile Swap:
I know, a weird collection, LOL!!
The wipes already came in handy for a little girl who had the trots...enough said.
The BBQ sauce is already on chicken, in the crock pot - and will go on buns!
The tomato soup will be used for my Spanish Rice,
the carrots for my Autumn Chowder, the box of potatoes has two meals worth in it,
the rice will be a filler in a quiche, 2 cans of green beans for a sheepherder's pie -
which I haven't made in FOREVER!

You can tell, I need to paint the porch steps. (sigh).
That is a project for this summer, scrape and paint.

I think that covers A Few Things...at least at this moment!

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 ...
