My Shopping Plans this weekend...

By -
I know - it's Double Double Daze at Copp's and Pick N Save this weekend! I fully intend to use that bonus discount.
:)

Here is the thing... I don't need anything. We are pretty well stocked and I have no room to put 60+ new items.

My Plan?
Shop for the food pantry!

Last week, the Quaker cereals were on sale for $2.50 a box, normally $4.13-4.25 at my store. I went late in the afternoon on Saturday and hoped to see an empty shelf. I did!

That meant a rain check for THIS week and on Monday, I called in an order for 100 boxes of cereal.

$2.50 x 10 boxes = $25.00
-use ten $1.00/1 coupons (doubled)
pay $5.00 out of pocket.

That is $41.30 of cereal for $5.00, saving 88%.

I am doing that ten times, using my store card for 6 transactions and then my Mom's for the last 4.

I DID do a match up for the ad, you can see it HERE. If I was shopping for normal stuff, what would catch my eye?
  • Meats from the 13 hour sale
  • Johnsonville brats
  • LaChoy Dinner Creations for my brother at a $.50 final cost
  • Powerade
  • Deodorant for $.50
Where else am I going this weekend?
Walgreen's.

We were almost out of toilet paper and the Cottonelle 12 pack deal for $3.00 is perfect timing! I have ten $1.00/1 coupons and plan to stock up. Yes, that is $30.00 of toilet paper, or 120 rolls.

Some produce?
Yep - I am hitting Aldi today (have to be in the area) to get some fruit, veggies and milk. I scored some tomatoes from a friend, zucchini from a different friend and plan on apples, bananas, peaches, lettuce and strawberries are on my list, depending on what I see when I get there.

What are YOU after this weekend?

    Easy!
    Remember those 8 cases of single sized cereals I got a few months ago for the Blessinig Bags? They all had a copon on them!
    We took the coupons off before bagging them up.

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
