Copps Run Today...Spent $38.95 and Got $36 back!

By -
First things first - I was SHOCKED at how much cereal had jumped since the last time I really looked at it! I will update the master General Mills list on Monday, when I go in for my store credit...example? The Cinnamon Burst Cheerios that was $2.89 a box in February is now $4.19!!!!!!! OUCH!

Next - the voucher are printing up $.75 short of what the ad states ($3.50 and $2.50 = $6) as we got a $5.25 total. I put out a separate post about that - make sure you get your store credit!

OK - Here is what I did today, a little higher than I planned as the cereal was nutso high, but still pretty close to my original plan!

    do you have to use them on milk and eggs or is it just like a 1.50 off your next transaction?

    Hi Katie!

    The $$ is taken off the order when you buy milk and/or eggs on your next trans.

    Now, the milk I buy is $2.65 - and it will take off the full $3.75 -- giving me $1.10 overage.
    :)
    That $1.10 comes off the rest of the things I am buying
    :)

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
