Um....yeah. I went back...........

Two more cereal deals means a total of 30 boxes for my churches food pantry! Thanks to this week's special, I got SIX free milk vouchers and SIX free egg vouchers -- a total of $30!! I did shop around quickly and know I can get the milk for $.79 with the $1 off Swiss Valley (when doubled) so that is an OVERAGE of $2.50 PER GALLON OF MILK that will net me $15 in FREE produce over the next few weeks...AND, the eggs are $.87 a dozen at the local Sentry store, making it about a $.90 overage for a total of $5ish there for more freebies!
=)
WHO says you can't get free meat or produce by using coupons!??

OK, that being said...here is my summary of these transactions - I am out of town this weekend so I see NO more shopping this month!
=)
(Thank goodness next Wednesday is really in February!)

Cereal Deal, 4 cans of Pringles @$1.49, 3 more cans of pineapple @$.60 and two cans of Tomatoes at $.75.........coupons used were two $2/3 cereal, two $.75 tomatoes (doubled), two $1/2 Pringles (doubled) and one $1/3 Dole (doubled). Bottom line is $28.85 for $3.60 and I got $5.00 back, a $1.40 money maker transaction!

Cereal Deal, 2 Betty Crocker muffin mix @$1.15, 2 Finish Quantum (was 9.99 on clearance for $4.18), 2 packs Red Barron sliced pizza @$3.33 each, 2 packs Fruit Chillers @$2.50.......coupons used: two $2/3 cereal, two $1 Red Barron (doubled), two $.50 Betty Crocker (doubled), $1.2 Fruit Chillers (doubled), two $2.25/1 Finish. Bottom line is $49.98 for 13.02 and I got back $5.

Today's Grand total (after all four transactions)$139.50 for $29.25 and I got $20 back! I saved 93.4% today on 62 items -- and that makes 30 boxes for the food pantry.


I am DONE shopping for the month - and went a titch over budget:
OK - accounting time:
100.00
-39.96 HyVee - butter
-1.90 Cub Foods - mac N cheese
--------
$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.
+10.00 (Mom got her five pounds of butter!)
-------
$44.80
-$3.10 for 5 bags of peanut butter cups on holiday clearance (for cookies!)
-$13.40 for HyVee today
-$3.15 for the Village Hearth Bread Outlet (2 bread, 1 English muffin & hog dog buns)
-------
$25.15 to go
-$3.50 for today's Copp's run
-------
$21.65 to go
-$9.00 so far today
-------
$12.65 to go...
$16.62 for the last run
-------
-$3.97 over. I KNOW!!! I haven't gone over EVER -- but I AM holding $30 in vouchers for FREE stuff because of those cereal deals AND am donating 30 boxes...I can handle paying $4 to donate to the church food pantry
=)

This looks like a strange month of shopping...an abundance of butter, pasta sauce, cereal, etc -- that is the joy of working a stockpile system! Once you are stocked, you can buy ONLY what is on special and still make out like a bandit!!

What I am looking forward to next month?
**more fresh produce!
**using that raincheck for three more pounds of bacon at HyVee for $1.99 each!
**waiting for a Rozini Pasta sale!
**a lot of FREE Snapple (after rebate!)

What has YOU exicted at the store?

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
