I had a plan...

By -
I got a sneak peak of the ad that we will see next week Thursday - which will be good for the July 14th Double Double Daze. Not really impressed.
:(
Sorry, I didn't get to KEEP it or take a picture, so I can't really help with a match yet...

So, let's talk about THIS ad that we are currently working with!

I do have a bajillion $1.00/1 Quaker cereal coupons for the Squares and Hearts cereals and thought I would go today, later, and hit an empty shelf.

I was right!
RAIN CHECK TIME!!!

(Can you just see me dancing around right now....?)

I will do 10 transactions (using Mom's card too) on the 14th - getting 100 boxes of that cereal (a $413.00 value) for only $50.00, saving 88%. 90 of them will go to the food pantry and 10 for our house. Can't you see how stinkin' cute the snack mix will be when it has little hearts in it?!!

So, that is the plan for the 14th. A LOT of cereal to pre-order on Monday!

    I still want to know how you obtained that many of those coupons? I mean, aren't they the ones that came with the free sample? I had one, but used it already. How did you get that many? (Yes, there is some jealousy here, as that is my hubby's preferred cereal, but I rarely buy it as I won't pay that price.)

      If you check out this post: http://operation40k.blogspot.com/2012/04/because-of-you.html

      You will see that I had 1,280 sample sized boxes, 640 squares and 640 hearts. (8 cases) I got all the coupons off before turning into the church, shared them with some of the other ladies at church that support our food pantry/homeless mission, and we went beserk when we found out that the cereal was finally on sale!

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 ...
