Planning the next shopping trip!

By -
I took a peek at Pocketyourdollars.com to see what is hitting our ad this Thursday for Copp's...and,I wasn't really excited.
(sigh)
Between the new coupon book and the new flier, I see very little that screams "take me home". Our freezer is still full of meat, we have plenty of juice, cereal, canned goods, personal care items, etc. I really need to cook and use things up!
=)

They do have the cereal deal again where you get milk, eggs and $10 back when you buy 6 boxes...always a good deal! You can end up getting the cereal free!

I did like the $1 chunk cheese (8oz) and will stock up as there is no limit (but not clear the shelves)...it is better for shredding and putting into soups than buying the already shredded, which never melts down nicely. I also like the "Meal Deal" that they are offering - it makes me think that it's time for some yummy beef stew! I might have to get 2 of these deals when I go to use up my coupons that are for FREE items and expire on the 31st.

Meal Deal:
Buy 1 USDA Choice Black Angus Beef Boneless Chuck Roast for $2.99/lb., Get 1 Bag of Russet Potatoes (5 lb.), 1 Bag of Carrots (1 lb.) and 1 Celery Free (Limit 1)
Final price: As low as $8.97**
**My buy price for most meat is $1.99/lb.The veggies are worth $4.77 at Rainbow (or $3.77 at Aldi this week). Therefore, a roast up to 4.75 pounds along with the free veggies would fall within my buy range.

I might stock up on Peaches and Plums...dice and freeze them. My godmother (rest her soul) had a yummy jam she always spoiled me with called "4P". It had peaches, pears, plum and pineapple...an amazing combo of flavors for a yummy treat! It has been over a dozen years since I have tasted this -- I think it is time to whip up a batch.
=)

No real need for me to go on double coupon day - Everything I am going to get is on sale or free because the coupon says FREE on it, LOL!

I know this sounds funny - but it really is a perk of the Stockpile System - you don't have to get the same things every week...you can be picky about what is on sale and what you want to bring home.

I did check out Aldi's, Cubb's and Target for their specials and think we are just getting what I already mentioned this week. How about you? What is on your grocery list as a "must have"?

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
