Today At Copp's

By -
This is about when I got the call that Ms Sarah was throwing up...my Mom was watching her while I was working today and then, tried to sneak in a Copps run for the Double Double day.

Happy Mother's Day to me - a sick kiddo, LOL!

She is now resting on the couch watching a Land Before Time video --
So I can recap my trip today.

as it is for the team party (we don't buy soda at home unless it's for the flu season kit).

Grand Total $82.51 for $13.49, saving $83.7 %

***I didn't get the Nivea as it was out - but DID get a rain check

Here is my math for the month:


$100.00
-18.39 at Aldi
- 2.72 at Wags
------------
$78.89
- $4.11 - Kwik Trip and Bread Outlet
---------
$74.78
+$4.13 from Walgreen's runs
----------
$78.91
-$3.51 (today's Copps total, less the soda)
----------
$75.40 to go.

All I have to get for the picnic now are buns and brats! Brats should go on sale in a week or so.

Two of the cakes went to a neighbor -- I know she had a really tough day, 2 packs of hot dogs went to another neighbor, who was kind enough to remember me when she went to Walgreen's and picked up another denture cleaner for me. (I have a TMJ bite plate and it ROCKS for cleaning it!)

Cheese went to the freezer, Power Bars for the hubster's work stash (it's severe weather season and they can't leave the station to get food in bad weather - or even have time to use a microwave!)



The Minute Rice is for the Spanish Rice dish...at the stockpile swap, I got the rest of the ingredients, and let's just chalk the cookies up to PMS
=)

How did you do at the stores today?

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! Today's recipe idea comes from Book Cooking. net Ingredients 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup butter, softened 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar 2 egg yolks 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

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 ...
