Shopping at Copps Today...

By -
FFFFFFFFFFFREEEEEEEZING Cold this morning! My car didn't warm up by the time I had gotten to the store as I live too close. The dashboard told me it was a whopping 3 degrees.

The joys of winter in Wisconsin, LOL!

OK - I wasn't thrilled with the ad this time around and had shared that with you already. But I did something fun - a shopping challenge by a friend for the food pantry! She gave me $20 and wanted to see how much I could get out of it - in items on the list for our church's food pantry.
I should have bet lunch or something on this -- she thought I might get 10 things.
(She doesn't have very much faith in me, LOL)!

OK - here is what I got out of the below summary for the food pantry:31 boxes of Hamburger Helper (normally $1.79) = $53.94
10 bags cookie mix (normally $2.26) = $22.66
That was $76.60 for $23.40 - but I got back $5.10 on the two FREE veggie oil on the Betty Crocker Cookie promotion...so I am UNDER the $20 and am tossing in Wednesday's 12 FREE boxes of cereal too.
:)
They are all happily freezing in the back of my car!

What did I get US?

Transaction #1
4 Bayer $1.50 (normally $2.78)
1 Carmex @$.99 - for the Blessing Bags
2 Veggie Oil @$2.00 (normally $2.55)

--coupons used: ten $1/1 Pom (doubled), $3.25 milk voucher, $24.95 off Pom (bogo promo)

Final price: $52.59 for $4.39

Grand total: $144.93 for $24.87 and I earned 14 Ham Perks, LOL!

As for the budget - I get to take $20 off that total and am only taking $4.87 off for this trip.

    For your monthly budget, how are you accounting for the $25 Copps gift card you bought on 2/8?

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
