Cub Foods - saved 101% (you read it correctly...)

By -
I LOVE shopping at Cub Foods!!

A lot of people forget that they take expired coupons for up to 3 months...that can get you some really great deals, as you will see below.

I had BIG plans for Cub Foods today - and their extra box tops promo: I was going to play the "grocery game" where I check out, leave the store and go back in to shop again. I couldn't do it because after coupons, my total was $.07 - the cashier was so excited that she called over the other cashiers to see.   (sigh)

They all knew me and there was no way I could back in and shop again.

Here is what  I got today (27 items):

For the Box Tops deal (I got a bonus 35 box tops)
  • 6 Betty Crocker Boxed Potatoes
  • 1 can corn
  • 3 cans refried OEP bean
then I added:
  • 2 boxes Purina One cat food
  • 1 # ground beef
  • 1# grapes
  • 5 can Red Gold Tomatoes
  • 1 Loaf Cub White Bread
  • 4 Simply Single OJ
  • Uncle Ben's Ready Rice
Coupons Used:

Store coupons for FREE Grapes, 10/$5 BTFE items, Red Gold Tomatoes $.69 (limit of 6)
4 $1/1 Simply OJ
2 $1/3 BC potatoes
$1/WYB3 OEP items on ground meat
2 FREE Purina One Cat food (expired)
$.55/3 Red Gold (expired)
2 $.75 Red Gold (expired)
FREE Uncle Ben (expired)
$6 Wags RR (expired)
$3 Catalina (OYNO) from Copp's (expired)

So - I got everything you see here (and a whole lot of unwanted attention) for $.07
All I need is a good sale on chili beans and I am set for a crock pot feast~!

***Donation items:
The cat food goes to an older lady who is a widow along with about a dozen cans that I have gotten FREE. Her cat is her companion and she is financially challenged. I like to drop off a bag of cat food when she is at early morning mass - so she doesn't know where it comes from.
=)

The boxed potatoes will go in my weekly bag of food pantry donations - along with the deodorant I got at Walgreen's -- that post is coming up.
=)

Today's Math: $33.94 for $.07 -- it becomes 101% because they let me dip into the $.30 sales tax
=)

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!

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
