My Shopping Plan

By -
Copps has that killer deal on Oscar Mayer Bologna and Cotto Salami this week, where they end up being $.20 each! My real shopping day will be Wednesday, but I will "test" the meat scenario on Saturday....I also have an Egg Voucher to use up - but it will be a SMALL plan.

For Wednesday, I have pre-ordered 50 of each for my church's food pantry. For Saturday (tomorrow) I am going to test it by doing one transaction with 10 packs and see if TWO Catalina's print out. If it doesn't, then it looks like I will be checking out a LOT on Wednesday, and using the self check out like to do so.

What else grabbed my eye?
A few cool things! Here are my basic transactions planned for Wednesday.

  • The hubby LOVES the belVita crackers for breakfast on the run - it's gotten him off of cold cereal!
  • 100 packs of bologna are for the food pantry.
  • Ice Cream bars are used for a killer ice cream dessert (shared later - promise!)
  • Trail mix is for the stockpile - a great thing to have on hand for summer "on the go" days!
  • Freezer items (Kemps and pizzas) are for my brother...
It's going to be a BIG chunk out of my monthly budget, but I hope those $80 Catalinas are good thru 6/16 -- when it's rumored that we will have another Double Double Daze! I will shop like crazy that day, LOL!

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
