Shopping this week...I made $2.98 profit

By -
I had shared my plans to hit Copp's, Walgreen's and probably Walmart this week with you HERE
I had a few days with a sick kiddo so I never made it to Walmart but did hit the other two.

First Copps:
They threw me for a loop by NOT carrying the Renuzit Crystals that I was going to get FREE and use to bump up that $25 total of mine....so I did a plan "B".

I only did one transaction and got:
10 cans of RedGold tomatoes @$1.00 (normally $1.65)
A Quart of Half & Half (for quiche) @$1.14
4 Roundy's String Cheese @$1.25 (normally $1.54)
2 Buitoni Ravioli @$3.00 (normally $3.79)
4 Horizon Vanilla Milk Singles @$1.00 (normally $1.45)
-coupons used: five $.75/1 RedGold (doubled), five $.50/1 Red Gold, $2 Horizon items (suck up letter), $5 came off instantly on the RedGold, $4 Catalina from last week and $5 Catalina from last week.
Final price: $37.18 for $.14, and I get back $.75 on SavingStar for the RedGold to make a profit of $.61 I saved 101.6%

Not bad for taking home 20 items, LOL!

I also hit Walgreen's.
I had two RRs in my hands, one for $3 and one for $4 -- I only used ONE of them.

Transaction 1:
South beach Meal Bars @$5.99 +$.33 sales tax
-$1/1 coupon (no longer available)
Paid $5.32 and got a $6 RR back to make a $.68 PROFIT.

Transaction #2
South beach Meal Bars @$5.99 +$.33 sales tax
1 Gallon Skim milk @$2.99
-$1/1 coupon (no longer available), $4 RR
Paid $4.31 and got a $6 RR back to make a $1.69 PROFIT.

Grand total: I got paid $2.37 to bring home $17.97 (not including tax) -- again, making money.
=)
So, I now have $15 in RRs in my hands...$3 that expire in a week.

Our Monthly $100 Budget:
$100.00
-$7.90 (School lunch 1x week)
-$0 Walgreen's 1/4
$ 92.10 To Go
-$1.67 dinner out (includes tip, used a gift card)
-$27.98 Copps Run
$62.45 to go
-$.40 Target 1/8
-$5.20 Walgreen's 1/8
$56.85 to go
-$12.37 - Copps 1/11
$44.48 to go
+.61 - Copp's 1/18
+2.37 Walgreen's 1/21
$47.46 to go and I have $15 in RRs
Donation Alert:
The South Beach Bars will go in the Blessing Bags, we are aiming to put at least one PowerBar/granola bar/etc in each bag. This just took care of 10 more bags
:)

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).

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
