I have 5 transactions planned this week –

Transaction 1:

  • 11 cans Manwich sauce (we will keep two, the rest are for the neighbors!) @$1.39
  • 7 boxes Ronzoni pasta @$1.25 (normally $1.99 – which will count for the $25 minimum price)    

We get $5 off instantly with the Megga Sale (Manwich), I will use 7 $1/1 on the pasta (5 will doubled) and $6 in Walgreen's RR (they don't say "ONLY at Walgreen's" on them).

Cost: $.79 and I will get $5 back with the ConAgra deal (Manwich) – I am double dipping on the promotions!

Transaction 2:

  • 9 Hunts Ketchup @$1.25
  • 5 Chef Boyardee @$1.00 – I have switched the hubby to the wheat variety, it's a small step, but I will take it, LOL!
  • 5 boxes Ronzoni pasta @$1.25 (normally $1.99 – which will count for the $25 minimum price) – donation item!

I will use the $5 from transaction 1, 5 $1/1 pasta coupons (will double) B4G1 Chef Boyardee, 3 B2G1 Hunts Ketchup

Cost: $2.75 and I will get $5 back (Conagra)

Transaction 3:

  • Jiff to Go pack
  • Gillette Shaving Foam – donation item!
  • 2 Ronzoni Pasta @$1.25
  • 6 boxes Chex Cereal @$3.65– donation item!
  • Grapes – for the trip
  • Apple Wedges – for the trip
  • Small Jar Maraschino Cherries – for the dehydrator

I will use the $5 from transaction 2, FREE Jiff, FREE Gillette, two $1/1 pasta coupons (will double), three $1/2 chex coupons (will double) and get $9 off instantly on the Chex, $4 RR

Cost: about $4.50 and I will get $5.25 back in milk and egg vouchers

Transaction 4:

  • 6 Chex Cereals @$3.65– donation item!
  • 1 Ronzoni Pasta @$1.25

  • 1 pack Spilt breasts @$99/# (usually around $9 presale price – 3# pack)

I will use three $1/2 Chex coupons (will double), 1 pasta coupon (will double), $1/1 Minute Rice (will double), $.25 store Q for Pantene, FREE Pantene, $9 off instantly on the Chex

Cost: $3.75ish and I will get $5.25 back in milk and egg vouchers

Transaction 5:

  • Wheaties @$4.49– donation item!

  • 1 pack split chicken breasts @$.99/# (usually around $2.95/# presale price)
  • 1 gallon milk

I will use the FREE milk from transaction #3, FREE Ore Ida, $.75/1 Cheerios (will double), $.75/1 Cocoa Puffs (will double), $.50/1 Cheerios (will double), $.75/1 Wheaties (will double), $1/2 GM cereals (will double), $9 off instantly on the cereal

Cost: $9.ish and I will get back $5.25 in milk and egg vouchers

Grand total: $150ish for 21.ish OOP and I will have gotten back $12, saving 94%.

$9 is not bad for 69 items!

(I say "ish" as it depends on the actual chicken prices)

**You can see a lot of things marked as donation items… they will go to my church's food pantry: pasta, cereal and the shaving foam. The rest is for us!
I COULD get more chicken, but we really don't need it – those two packages are just to bump up the transactions to hit that $25 minimums as the $9 that comes off counts against you, so you really need $34+ in the total. (So when they take the $9 off, you are still over $25 and can double your coupons).

I will also get about 20 Monopoly game pieces – with the specially marked items and a few "winner" pieces that I am turning in on transaction #1

=)

What are you going to get at the stores this week?

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).

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
