BACON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By -
I made it to HyVee today, just like I said I would, for their $1.99 bacon.

They ran out!

I got the LAST TWO PACKAGES...and they were only 12 ouncers at that! (center cut).

I DID see signs every where around the bacon display announcing Rain Checks...so, after I purchased my two packs of bacon, I marched over to the customer service counter! YUP, I got my rain check for three packs of bacon, good for one month.

=)

Bacon just makes this Midwestern girl happy! BLT Sandwiches, my Autumn Chowder, bacon wrapped pork chops, Rumaki, bacon in my crock pot potato soup, bacon wrapped steaks, bacon and cheese stuffed chicken, the list could go on and on!

I have been avoiding bacon as it was $5-6 a pound at all the local stores...WAAAAAY over my price points for meat. Now, I can relax a bit and drool over what I am going to make next.

=)

OK - accounting time:
100.00
-39.96 HyVee
-1.90 Cub Foods
--------
$58.14
-18.03 (Girls night)
-1.33 (Applebee's overage on gift card)
-$3.98 HyVee Bacon!
-------
$34.80 to go and we are half way through the month.

Now the rumor has it, that I may be selling five pounds of my butter stash to my Mother. (I wonder who started that rumor...) That would give me about $10 back and make her happy, LOL!

I have also been invited to a "Stockpile Swap" from someone who took my coupon class and is running with the idea! I will take some crackers, cereal, tuna, pizza sauce and soup and see what we might bring back that is different. variety is always nice

How is your budget shaping up?

    I too love bacon. I have a theory that adding bacon makes just about anything taste better.

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 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
