So I Hit Copp's This Morning...

By -
I wasn't going to.
Honestly.

I knew there was no ground turkey to be had -- but realized I had egg vouchers
that were expiring...and we can't have that,
now can we?
:)

I flew by the seat of my pants today - NO plan!
I didn't even take my coupon box with me - just a handful of coupons that I thought might come in handy, if I hit the $25.

Yes, I broke ALL of my rules today!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the funny part: I still made money shopping, LOL!
You can see from my receipt here:
I paid $.82 and then, got a $2.00 Catalina.
Ha!

I don't have time for the details, but am adding the coffee, Ramen, eggs and Nuts to the
donation pile...the salad mix is to compliment the free pan of stuffed manicotti we got
last night from the "Greek Salad Lady" and the rest, we simply needed. 

How did your trip go today?

    Hi Danelle,
    I didn't do as well as you but I did well today and confirmed that I really need to watch the register as I would have been charged several dollars more had I not caught the errors. Got $39.10 worth of food for $19.85!!! The $39.10 is the sale prices before coupons(I don't think it would be fair to figure my savings by the reg. price as I would never pay that, even before couponing). I had a 1.99 off for ban deodorant last week and used two coupons for cards ($2.00 off if you buy 3 cards). Also had a free boca product coupon (from my employer). In total I had $20.25 in coupons!!! One of my coupons didn't double and he swiped one of the $2 card coupons too fast and it didn't scan. Also, at one point he told be that I was at my coupon limit... What??? All worked out with 3 employees working through it... I smiled the whole time and apologized to the poor guy behind me and then came home on a high from all I saved. I love this!

    WAY TO GO Jules!

    First of all - DO count your pre-sale total in your savings! Prices keep going up and you are a true couponer by buying the items on sale to maximize your savings! (high-five!)

    Also: Way to cathc the errors! It helps to know roughly what you should spend before checking out and it ALWAYS pays to watch the cashier.
    :)
    As for the coupon limit? Seriously???!
    I have NEVER had anyone tell me that - the cashier must have been drinking, LOL!

    Over 50% savings -- AWESOME for you!

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!

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
