Operation $40K

We all love our traditional Thanksgiving dishes, but it's nice to have a slightly healthier version! Here is a FREE E-recipe book that has a few fun ideas. Enjoy! 

I zipped over to http://www.iheartwags.com/ and scoped out the upcoming ad - Not a lot of FREE offers this week! They seem to be saving up the deals for the Black Friday Ad ( you can see it HERE )   =) Maalox will be on sale for $4.99 this coming week!!!  Print this coupon for $1.50/1 Maalox product NOW and save to stack with the $2.00/1 Wags November Coupon Book to get it for $1.49 $1.50 off Maalox Advanced product Here are the FREEBIES: Estroven Maximum Strength 28ct $9.99 Get a $10.00 RR Final price: FREE AZO Maximum Strength Itch Relief 1oz $4.99 Get a $5.00 RR Final price: FREE Neoteric Diabetic Shampoo & Scalp Care 12 oz $5.99 -use the $1/1 from the Fall Diabetes and You Magazine (found in the pharmacy dept) Get a $5.99 Mail in Rebate Final price: $1 Money Maker! I think that covers it this week - let me know if I missed something!

You can find them here -- at Totally Target. Make sure you thank Kerry for her great work! :)

I shared info about their Rebate program last year ... see here. This is kind of like the Register Rewards at Walgreen's but you have to mail in the form to get your perks back...even though you can still roll them along. What is nice is the simple fact that these do NOT expire, so you can be patient and roll them over when you find the right deal. I LOVE the FREE after rebate items, but will settle for less than free, if I can use up old rebate checks to make up the difference. =) This is NOT all the deals in the flier - just the ones that are FREE or practically FREE: Did I miss one? Let me know! Kind of a short list this week --  I can't wait to see what they have been saving for Black Friday!   Forever Bags Food Storage (16 count) $3.00 - $3.00 MIR (Limit of 2) MyKidz Comfort Patch (7 count) $5.00  - $5.00 MIR = FREE (Limit of 6)  Steam Mate $3.00 - $3.00 MIR = FREE (Limit of 2) I didn't see any FREEbies last week -- but those MIR deals are still vali

This Saturday, November 12th is ANOTHER DOUBLE DOUBLE day at the Roundy's stores! This means you get to double TEN coupons, up to a $1 value, when you spend at least $25 per transaction. That boils down to spend $25 and get up to $20 off it! You can do this SIX times per store card -- so that could be up to $120 of FREE stuff for your family! **Rumor has it that it will also be the next two weekends - Yippee! Pocket Your Dollars has the ad match up for this -- their ads start on Sundays and we get that same sales flier mid week. It looks like a good week for yogurt, Mrs T Pierogies, Aunt Jemima, and cough drops this coming week! HERE is the direct link to her post . Happy planning! :)

It seems like we are blessed with a bunch of ground beef sales lately -- it's good for us, but bad for Texas. The drought hurt their hay crop -- which they feed the cattle. With no real hay locally, they had to bring it it -- and it wasn't cheap. When they could afford to feed the cattle, they put it on the market. That is why we are seeing sale after sale on it! Now -- what % should you buy? It really depends on the preference of your family. I find 90%+ lean is too dry for good burgers, meatloaf or meatballs...but is OK for recipes that need "hamburger gravel" like chili and tacos. 85% is better but pricey --- so I usually buy the 80% as I have found that buying the 80%, when cooked right is lean. You simply rinse it with hot water and let it drain for five minutes. How do you decide? By doing the math! Math never lies! :) It's pretty common to see 80% lean ground beef right now in a three pound pack for $5.97. Compare this to the 85% lean three p
