HyVee and Wags Today

By -
I started with Miss Sarah at HyVee today. We were after that detergent! BIG bottles of it for just $3.99 - less that $3/1 coupon to bring them to just $.99 each.

We got 8.

I had 10 coupons but shared them with two other people in the area. Have no fear, I didn't clear a shelf, there were a LOT left! 2 are for my mom...2 are for the another friend and we are keeping the white ones. Granted, Purex is kind of the bottom of the charts for quality detergent (according to Consumer Reports magazine) but I am not too concerned about the value of the cost per ounce, LOL.

We also got a 2# box of strawberries for $2.28 - it was actually a 2.75# (I weighed a few) box so I am OK with the price - it came out to about $.85/# for the berries...so I did NOT use my rain check from the 4# for $3.99 deal that was sold out a month ago...I will wait until the berries are more expensive for that
=)

I had the register fiasco with cashier #4 when I tried to use my $8 Wags RR...but that was in the HyVee policy update post.

8 bottles Purex @$3.99 (normally $8.49)
- 8 $3 coupons **triggered a required over-ride as I used several coupons
$7.92
+ Strawberries for $2.28
+ Sales tax $1.76
$11.96 paid out of pocket (I still think $3.96 would have been much better...sigh...)
Still, I saved 84%

Then we went to Walgreen's and got
5 packages of panty liners @.99
-5 FREE coupons
+1 gallon of milk $3.19
+1 organic chocolate milk
+.57 sales tax
- $4 RR (from toilet paper deal earlier this week)
$.85 out of pocket, saving $12.45 (93%)

Here is my math for the month:


$100.00
-18.39 at Aldi
- 2.72 at Wags
------------
$78.89
- $4.11 - Kwik Trip and Bread Outlet
---------
$74.78
+$4.13 from Walgreen's runs
----------
$78.91
-$3.51 (today's Copps total, less the soda)
----------
$75.40
-15.42 from Walgreen's 5/11
-11.96 from HyVee today
-$.85 from Walgreen's today
----------
$47.17 to go

Considering we were sick for almost a week and will be repeating most of this week's meal plan, we really only need milk and bread yet this month! We are in GREAT shape for the middle of the month

How are you doing on YOUR budget?

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
