Aldi Visit

By -
I had to drop off the garage sale money at the bank today, and since my bank is close to Aldi - I thought it perfect timing for a quick visit!

I got;
  • 2 packs strawberries @ $0.99
  • Veggie Chips @ $1.69
  • Caramel Rice Snacks @ $1.99
  • 2 Grapefruit @ $0.59
  • 1 Cantaloupe @ $0.99
  • 1 pack baby carrots @ $0.99
  • 1 box powdered milk @ $5.99  (It goes in my emergency kit-- another post for another day)
  • 1 avocado @ $0.89
  • 1 3# bag of Gala apples @ $2.69
For a total of $18.39

We were running low of snacky stuff so carrots & dip, apples w/ peanut butter, guacamole, broiled grapefruit, fruit salad, and the bags of chips should hold us the next week or two.

Then I hit Walgreen's.
They were out of all the deals and their Tuesday delivery truck was VERY light so I only got the flossers.
I now have $4 in RR and might hit another Wags tomorrow when I am taking my FIL to his eye appointment. I spent $2.72 here.

New month = new budget!

$100.00
-18.39 at Aldi
- 2.72 at Wags
------------
$78.89 to go

I have a VERY full pantry, fridge and freezer - this is going to be a "live off the stockpile" month as I have very little room to put any more items...I will just flush them out with some of the basics like Milk and bread.

I also am curious as to what is available at the Stockpile Swap this Saturday - what will I turn my boxes of FREE pasta into? I can't wait to see!

You WILL see me getting soda, brats, hot dogs and buns this month - but those are from the Tupperware Account as they are party of the rewards for my team at the family picnic on Memorial Day weekend.

Now, excuse me. Those strawberries smelled SSSSSOOOOO good, they are calling my name!

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
