Saturday Shopping Trip...

Hubby and I decided that since we had a little extra money this month (thanks to his getting three paychecks in July) that we would spend a little more than our bi-weekly budget in order to stock up on some sale items.

Our first trip Friday night we made it to two store: Wal-mart and Kroger.

Wal-Mart



2 bags of Flour @ $1.73 ea
Powdered Sugar @ $1.66
Caramel Chocolate @ 2.84
Sweeten Condensed Milk @ $2.04
VCF @ $6.94
2 pkg nails @ $ 0.97
Chinet Paper Plates @ $2.54 (MFQ coupon $2.00 off)
Plunger @ $2.17
Hammer @ $5.27
Extension cord/surge protect @ $19.94

Total: $54.38
Total OOP: $52.28
Total Savings: $2.00

We went to Wal-Mart knowing we needed a few household items that we had been putting off so our total and savings here wasn't all that great. I was rather disappointed in this trip, but I keep reminding myself that I am just getting into this coupon world and, that since I cannot print off coupons from my computer, I am limited to the coupons I have excess to and that it will take me awhile to build up a good supply of coupons. ;) So, after my little pick-me-up-pep-talk we went to:

Kroger



Angel Soft Bath Tissue $8.99 (-$3.99 In Store Savings)
Salt $0.69 (-$0.10 ISS)
Rock Salt $1.50
Raisin Bran Cereal $4.19 (-$1.69 ISS special buy 4/$10 promotion)
3 Cheddar Cheese @ $2.99 (-$3.97 3/$5 ISS)
Flour Tortillas $1.29
Yogurt $0.88
Yogurt $0.60
7.2lbs Chuck Roast $14.14 (-$13.79 ISS sale @ $1.97lb)
6lbs Ground Beef $13.79 (-$4.14 ISS sale @ $1.88lb)
2 CheezIt $5.98 (-$.98 ISS special buy 4/$10 promotion)
Keebler Rainbow Cookies $3.99 (-$1.49 ISS special buy 4/$10)
4lbs Skinless Chicken Breasts $7.96 (-$5.03 ISS sale @ 1.99lb)

Total: $97.76
Total OOP: $58.60
Total Savings: $39.16

We saved 42% by shopping the sales at Kroger and this absolutely thrilled me since we didn't use a single coupon! Even our checker was impressed!! :)


We only managed those two stores Friday night, but this morning when I got up to make rolls to go along with our roast for lunch I realized we never purchased sugar. So, we decided to hop in the car and finish the rest of our shopping (and I even went with no make up whatsoever...which is amazing for me ;)





I forgot that our church is having a 'pounding' for a lady in our church who was just diagnosed with placenta previa so we headed back to Kroger this morning to take advantage of their special promotion of buy 4 products for $10 and get $4 off at check out.

Rice Krispies Cereal $4.49
Corn Flakes Cereal $3.59
Dawn $2.99 (-$.025 MFQ coupon doubled)

Total: $18.32

Total Savings: $9.06

I was so pleased to be able to find Hamburger Helper on sale for a $1.00 each! I had a coupon, but had lost it before the sale so that was frustrating but I still managed to catch some good deals this weekend and we now have a niiice stockpile going. :) I'm eager to see how much better I can do once I start adding coupons into the picture!

Tater Tot Casserole...

Tater Tot Casserole

1 lb ground beef
1 small onion
1 can cream of chicken soup**
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 bag Tater Tots
salt and pepper

Add salt, pepper and onion to hamburger meat. Brown & Drain. Pour hamburger mixture in dish and pour soup{s} over it and mix well. Place Tater Tots on top of hamburger mixture and bake at 300 degrees until brown.

**You can substitute 1 cup of shredded cheese in place of the cream of chicken soup. I do this since I do not like the taste of the cream of chicken with the hamburger meat and the cheese seems to bring it all together.


Just out of curiosity...what are some of ya'lls favorite casserole recipes?
