Catching my eye this week at the stores...

By -
I don't know about you, but I am getting a little sick of Cuties -- we have had them for almost three weeks now, much to my 4 year olds delight. I don't see anything but citrus and onions on the price point I look for so it's time to dig into the freezer and make smoothies and compotes this week with the frozen fruit I have stocked up on.

I still have my mouth watering for "pigs in a blanket" with the little smokies - but haven't seen them hit my price point yet...they come to just over $2.40 with a doubled coupon - unless I can stack it with something else.

Hillshire Farms Lit’l Smokies $3.50
Buy 1 and use $0.55/1 Hillshire Farms Lit’l Smokies printable or
Buy 2 and use $.75/2 from 12/5 Red Plum insert
Final price: As low as $2.40 after doubled coupon

Nothing in the world of frozen food excites me - we have a full freezer that I have been adding 1-2 meals to nightly as I package up my leftovers.

Dairy Case Deals - all I need is milk...

Grocery Deals - I will check out the Ortega deals to beef up my Mexican dishes but am fine on most shelf staples.

Ortega Refried Beans $1.25
Buy 2 and use $1/2 Ortega printable
Final price: $0.25 each after doubled coupon

Ortega Taco Sauce $1.50
Buy 2 and use $1/2 Ortega printable
Final price: $0.50 each after doubled coupon

I am not thrilled at the new P&G deal
Buy $25 of select Proctor & Gamble Products Using Your Roundy’s Card, Get $5 off your next shopping trip.

Must-read notes before you do this deal:

— Be sure to have the cashier scan your Roundy’s loyalty card so that you get this deal

— The $25 is calculated AFTER manufacturer’s coupons. In my opinion, it is difficult to get an amazing deal when you have to use the final price after coupon. On that note, I suspect, but cannot confirm that the $25 needs to be reached after the face value of the coupon is taken off versus after the doubled value of the coupon is considered. I guess this because P&G foots the bill for the face value of the coupon and Roundy’s is footing the bill for the double, but I could be wrong so proceed at your own risk.

— Limit one checkout coupon per shopping visit. This means that you should not do this

— $5 off coupon expires 1/15/11

It just seems like too much money out to get $5 back...but that is just my opinion, LOL!

What did you see in the store fliers this week that got you excited?

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
