Copps Run Today...

By -
In my rough plan I had budgeted $16 or less for Copp's this week. I came in under budget!

McCormick gravy mixes were on sale (actually the entire McCormick line...) for 50% off and I had TEN coupons for $.55 off two. Gravy mixes range in prices from $1.59 for chicken/turkey to $.89 for plain old beef gravy. I am cheap and also know that by using pan drippings instead of cold water (using cold water to make it to the 1 cup)that I can flavor the gravy myself.

The gravy came to $.44 each with their sale and then, when I got two and took the $.55 coupon off, dropped to $.17 each.

I bought 20 of them....

Here is my list today -- I didn't stray too much from what I said I would do:

5 cans chicken broth (first three at $.33 and the other two at $.89)
20 gravy mixes @.44 (was .89)
2 cool whip - french vanilla flavored for the pumpkin crisp tomorrow! @ $.99 each (was 1.75 each)
1 avocado @$1.49
2 Buitoni fresh pasta @$3.00 (was $4.19)
1 Nabisco Wheat Thins @$2.00 (was $2.99)
1 dishwasher Finish Tabs @$4.35
1 4# bag of navel oranges @$2.99 (normally $4.99)
1 gallon milk @$2.19
Coupons used: two $1 off Buitoni (doubled), $1 wheat thins (doubled), $1 off two Cool Whip (doubled), $.75 off 5 broth (doubled), ten $.55 of two gravy mixes, $1.50 off Finish, $4 off next order catalina, FREE avocado, $3 off milk, $3 RR (my LAST one until Friday!)

$50.14 for $4.58, a savings of $45.56 (90.8%)!!
It looks like I bought the dishwasher detergent and got the rest FREE - Who doesn't just LOVE couponing???!!!

I am going to hit Walgreen's before I go to Family Dollar on Friday -- I just got a $5 off $25+ purchase from Family Dollar and am now checking to see what they have on sale besides canned veggies!

I now have enough cans of chicken broth the winter soups that need it, almost a years worth of gravy mix, refrigerated ravioli to make ravioli lasagna (1 package cheese and 1 package beef/sausage), and have enough crackers to get me through all of the holiday cheese balls I will be making, LOL!

I think it's time I split an orange with my peanut -- catch ya later!

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
