Sunday = Funday!

By -
I almost forgot to share this! It's a good thing I save all of my receipts, LOL --

Sunday morning was fun!
Miss Sarah and I snuck out first to the local Dollar Tree - to get a few extra Sunday Papers.
We ran into our neighbor's husband (sent to get papers - his wife has taken my class),
another coupon clippin' friend, the awesome late night Walgreen's cashier,
and two other gals that have taken my class. I only took 5 papers -
but, between the rest, they cleaned the store out, LOL!
That means $5 off my total for getting some additional papers -
but we took one of those FREE McDonald's Strawberry Lemonade coupons to redeem quickly.
=)

Since we were so close to Walgreen's --
(sigh) I have no idea why this picture is upside down.....

Anyway, I had tried and tried to get this - and they had been out.
We hit it just right!
5 of the Precise @$7.99 each
A bar for a filler** @$.69
less $3 each from the May store coupon book
less five $5 off coupons from the paper
$.64 subtotal
$2.20 sales tax
Grand total $2.84

**I would have used a $.05 Hershey Kiss out of the candy jar - but the were out.
How rude!

(kidding...)

I needed a filler because the last $5 coupon would not come off the product total of $4.94 -
it would have put me in the negative, which their register doesn't like.
I would have only paid $2.20 for it, but still came out pretty darned well
(saved 93.4%)

As I was putting these away, I did a quick inventory of the personal care/first aid stuff.
I need deodorant and sunscreen. That's it. Everything else is pretty darn well stocked up.

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
-$1.47 -- Arby's 5/14
-$5 -- newspapers 5/15
-$2.84 -- Walgreen's 5/15
----------
$37.86 to go

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
