My Double Double Daze Shopping Plan

By -
make a list of articles,
I LOVE the FREE money that manufacturers give us in the form of coupons and love it even better when the stores double that money! Since this Saturday Roundys stores double TEN coupons per transaction I really can't miss this opportunity. We don't really need anything so this time it is all about stuff to donate.

I shared with you last week the fact that one of the local schools needs some items for their in house food pantry.
I plan to aid them.
:)

Before you say anything, have no fear!
I called my store already and place a pre-order for Saturday morning. No Shelf-Clearing here.
Transactions 1 and 2
30 Boxes Hamburger Helper at $1.00
$30.00 - (10) $0.75/3 = $15.00

Transactions 3 and 4
10 Sure Deodorants @ $2.00
5# Roma tomatoes @ $1.00/lb (to pop into the dehydrator)
$5.00 - (10) $1.00/1 coupons = $5.00

Transaction 5 and 6
10 Temptations Cat Treats @ $1.59
10 Ronzoni Pasta @ $1.00ish (1.29 I think)
$25+ - (5) $1.00/2 Temptations and (5) $1.00/2 Ronzoni = $5.00ish
  • 20 Deodorant goes to the Homeless Mission
  • 60 Hamburger Helper goes to the school
  • 20 Pasta goes to the school
  • 20 Cat Treats to the Humane Society
That leaves the 10# of Roma tomatoes for the food dehydrator so I can turn them into my own "sun dried" tomatoes for pasta and pizzas.

I will have spent about $50 -- but will take $40 of it out of the "affiliate funds" that you so generously help provide when you print coupons from here. {Thank you!}

What are you after this coming weekend?

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
