Made it to Cub Foods...

I wanted to cash in on the bonus 400 Labels For Education offer that they had this week when you bought 15 items on their list. I did three different transactions and used expired coupons!

First I got 15 cans of Spaghettio's at $.50 a can. I used five $1/5 coupons which brought the total down to $4.50 - a great price at $.30 a can when the stores in Sun Prairie normally charge $1.18-39 a can!!

Since they had an expiration date of 2/2012, I repeated that same transaction with Princess Spaghettio's. Again, it came to $4.50

Campbell's soup was 5 cans for $4, and I had five expired $1/3 coupons. That brought my total down to $7 for my 15 cans of assorted soups. I got 5 cream of chicken, 5 bean w/ bacon and 5 cream of mushroom to set myself up for casseroles. (OK, the bean w/ bacon soup is my guilty pleasure...)

Grand total for all 45 cans today? $16. I also have 1200 points/labels for education for Ms Sarah's school - that is in addition to the labels on the cans today: 105 more!

For those of you thinking "Ewwww....unhealthy!" on the Spaghettio's - you need a copy of the Eat This, Not That book for kids. It strongly recommends Spaghettio's over Mac n Cheese as it has a full serving of veggies in every can and is low in fat. It is also easy for "Daddy" to make when he is in charge, LOL!

Now, my accounting:

It looks like I am cutting it close...we have 6 days left, and I only have $5, LOL!

=)

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!

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
