My Shopping Plans For The Week

By -
We have a pretty full stockpile so it's easy to NOT shop, unless it's for things we need. This list is pretty short: just two stores:
Aldi and Copp's
1) I plan to hit Aldi Tuesday for some fresh fruit -- it's on my way to something else so it isn't a special trip. They have strawberries for $.99, Mangoes for $.49 and great prices on thin - tender asparagus right now!
2) Copp's. It's Double Coupon day tomorrow and I am after the ground chicken for $.50/#, after coupons. I also have a friend who wants to stock up on Capri Sun - which I never see for less than $2 a ten pack. With the $1.99 sale - and the buy 3 get 1 FREE coupons, it comes to a decent price. I told her I'd grab them for her tomorrow and get her 4 for FREE. (She LOVED that!!)

So - only two transactions, here is my plan:
Transaction #1
8 Capri Sun @$1.99 = $15.92
-using (2) B3G1 coupons
4 Ground Chicken $2.00 = 8.00
-using (4) $.75/1 coupons that will double
(1)Belvita Crackers $2.99 = $2.99
-using $1/1 coupons that will double
$26.91 for 14.93 -- $11.94 of that is NOT out of MY budget, I am getting $10.99 for $2.99

Transaction #2
5 Belvita Crackers $2.99 = $14.95
-using (5) $1/1 coupons that will double
4 Capri Sun @$1.99 = 7.96
-using (1)B3G1 coupons
1 Gallon Milk @$2.59
-using $3 Catalina from last week
$25.50 for $10.51 -- Again, my part is $17.54 for $4.54
For us 28.53 for 7.53 - saving about 75%...that number will be higher as the Belvita and chicken are on sale pricing and I don't know that the REAL prices are, with out looking them up.
:)
Hubby LOVES the Belvita crackers for those mornings that he is in a rush - they remind him of our trip to London a few years ago! They are similar to the biscuits we had every time someone served tea, LOL!

I have a good recipe for Ground Chicken Burgers -- I will have to dig that out and share with y'all!

 What are YOU after this week?

    Gold n Plump has a free cutting board with purchase of 3 lbs ground chicken. No postage/handling or anything required. Just a heads up if you're buying it anyway!

    Can I ask what Copps you go to for the Gold'n Plump? I've had no luck at the one on Junction Rd. in Madison with the Gold'n Plump Chicken - they don't seem to offer it at all, ground or chicken breasts, which is frustrating when they've had sales/coupons for both lately!

    I go to the Copps EAST of Sun Prairie. They don't have it by the chicken... it's in a different case, closer to the cheese.

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).

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
