I Went Shopping!

By -
OK -- Walgreen's didn't go as I had planned - they weren't totally restocked from the delivery and I couldn't make a second trip back! I DID get two sets of the Carefree Pantiliners @$0.99 , with the $.50/1 coupon found in the 3/27 RP and only paid $.49 - to get back a $1 RR.

I left the store with $2 in RR and a nice addition to the church donation for the week! Nothing like making $1.02 while helping other people out!
=)

Then came today's Copps run!

I had preordered two cases of Nabisco Animal Crackers last week for the church children's donation - and they came in late - I still got them today and used that to bump up my base total for my coupons! Sadly, I did NOT get a case break this time, but am taking that money out of our "donation funds" and still feelgood about helping little kiddos! It is SOOOO cool that they came with Easter packaging!
=)


Another fun surprise was the Kool-Aid! It was on sale and I didn't remember seeing it in the sales flier - we don't really do soda here, but LOVE lemonade!

Seriously, Ms Sarah and I can knock out a half gallon pitcher a day, just the two of us! **I don't add the full cup of sugar -- we do about half of that and it seems very drinkable.

The sale was 20 packs for $3 (or $.15 each) and I had two coupons for buy 10 packs, get 5 free.
So you are looking at 30 packs for just $3.

We like to live on the edge here... we do PINK lemonade too, LOL!

I skipped the cereal deal today as we have PLENTY in our house (you will see the stockpile pictures soon!)

OK, Transaction #1
24 Nabisco Barnum Boxes of Animal Crackers @$1.39 = 33.36 (sigh)
7 packs Idahoan Pouch Potatoes @$1  (normally 1.19)

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
