Back in the Saddle Again!

By -
I have a confession: I haven't gone grocery shopping in almost three weeks!

The week before vacation I didn't want to stock up on stuff that we wouldn't get to while we were gone...during vacay I had packed a lot of stuff to take with us for breakfast/lunches and we were treated to dinner every night. We are home and, after cleaning out the fridge - it looked a bit empty!

What a perfect time to get back in the saddle - and routine of pouring over the sales specials, matching up with coupons and making a list! It doesn't hurt that tomorrow is DOUBLE double coupon day - so they will double TEN $1 or less coupons with a $25 purchase...since they work on original shelf price, I am ready to SCORE tomorrow!

Here is an example of one of my four (yes, four) transactions for tomorrow: Lawrey's marinades are on sale for $2.39 (from 3.49). I will get ten of them for a total of $23.90 - THEN, I will hand over ten coupons for $1 off, that will be doubled and my total comes down to 3.90 - add a $3.50 Walgreen's register reward that I have to use up and I will get all ten bottles for $.40 ! oops - make that $.35 because I will get a nickle back for bringing my own bag, LOL! A variety of flavors to enhance future chicken dishes - yum! (Thanks Brenda for the coupons!) That makes a savings of 99% - ya gotta love that!!!
=)

One transaction will be using the Kellogg's deal where I will get $10 back at the end of the transaction so I will end up getting paid $5 to bring home 10 boxes of cereal...one will be all about the Conagra items on sale which gives me a $5 cash back AND a mail in rebate offer! Yes...I really enjoy making my plan of attack!
=)

I will share my list of spoils tomorrow and the final result...if the juice I have coupons for goes on sale - that could add 2 more transactions and 20 bottles of juice to my house, LOL!

Some people say coupon clipping doesn't pay...those people have never tried it, LOL!

    Yes Lacy - they are manufacturers coupons - it's printed right on the top. Wags would love you to them there, but you can take them anywhere

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!

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
