3/9 Copp's Run

By -
The weather got me today -- I wasn't really up to the trip but needed hE detergent for my new washer (another post for another time...) so I ventured out for one transaction or two.

I SKIPPED the cereal/oranges deal as there were very few boxes of cereal included in the deal - nothing that we would ever eat!

Here is my summary:

Transaction #1
1 Purina Cat Food $4.39
2 gallons Deans Milk @$2.99
2 Dozen Eggs @$1.19
Nutella @$3.39
1 Oscar Meyer Carving Board Chicken $2.50 (normally 4.79)
1 bottle Gain hE detergent @$6.64
2 Roundy's Chicken Kiev @$1 (normally $1.99)
2 Roundy's Chicken Kiev @$1 (normally $1.99)

Coupons used: $6.50 for milk (my last vouchers), two $1.75 for eggs (my last vouchers), two $1 Deans Milk gallon (doubled), $1 Purina (doubled), $1 Nutella(doubled), $1 OM meat (doubled), two $1/meat. $3 Gain

Totals $36.63 for $4.78 (86.9%)


$100.00
- 10.67
-----------
$89.33
-$4.78 today's copp's run
-$1 Cookies from fundraiser table at pancake breakfast
-----------
$83.88 to go

**I did NOT count the dinner at church yesterday as that it part of my church budget - but DID add in the cookies that I bought at the pancake breakfast last Sunday.

I will do MUCH better in the hE detergent in the future, this was simply a surprise with short notice...but all in all, didn't do too bad.

I WILL get to HyVee this week for the 2 day sale items (saltines, peanut butter, toothpaste, etc) and Aldi's for some fresh produce.

How did your trip go?

    Sounds like you did a great job! Laundry detergent is one of those that I hate buying. We have some skin allergies in our house, so have to be careful about what we get and since coupons can be scarce and sales not that great, we end up pretty much sticking to buying the large size of Era at Sam's. All of us can use it, it's under $11 a bottle and it last us 4-5 months. It's a "splurge" I can live with.

    I just did a quick trip at Copps today (to get more free popcorn & quaker cereal + another couple odds & ends. I was completely tempted by the Nutella, too. It's so good! Kind of wish I had bought some. Maybe next time around. I'd love to hear more about your He detergent recipe, Casie!

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
