Donation to Clemson Community Care

I started using coupons almost 2 1/2 years ago and what a difference it has made to our pantry.  Tomorrow I will make a difference for other families pantry's by donating the above stack of cereal to Clemson Community Care.

  5 boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios
16 boxes of Frosted Cheerios
  5 boxes of Chocolate Cheerios
  9 boxes of Reese's Puffs

Slow Cooker Cheesy Potato Soup

Slow Cooker Cheesy Potato Soup

INGREDIENTS

1  bag (32 oz) frozen southern-style diced hash brown potatoes, thawed

1/2 cup frozen chopped onion (from 12-oz bag), thawed

1 medium stalk celery, diced (1/2 cup)

1 carton (32-oz) Progresso® chicken broth

1 cup water

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup milk

1 bag (8 oz) shredded American-Cheddar cheese blend (2 cups)

1/4 cup real bacon pieces (from 2.8-oz package)

4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)

DIRECTIONS

1 In 3- to 4-quart slow cooker, mix potatoes, onion, celery, broth and water. 2 Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 to 8 hours. 3 In small bowl, mix flour into milk; stir into potato mixture. Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook 20 to 30 minutes or until mixture thickens. Stir in cheese until melted. Garnish individual servings with bacon and green onions. Sprinkle with pepper if desired.

Instead of using purchased bacon pieces, cook 2 strips of bacon until crisp, then drain and crumble.

Southern-style hash brown potatoes are diced instead of shredded. These work best in this recipe.

 

 

 

 

Yummy soup, perfect for a fall day like today.  I am trying it with fresh potatoes.

I priced matched KMarts sale and picked these potatoes up at Wal-Mart yesterday.  10 lbs of Russet potatoes for only $.99. Most of them were baking potato size.

I love using my Yoshi-blade peeler and knife when I cut potatoes.
 

Potatoes have been cooking for about 4 hours.  Should be cooked in time for a nice dinner.

Yummy....Yummy....Yummy    
I tried using shredded Colby/Jack and it didn't melt very well, would recommend plain cheddar cheese.
I used Sausage bits instead of Bacon bits...Wow!!!
And it made for an awesome lunch today  :-)

I plan on shopping at Bi-Lo a few more times during this sale.  I am gathering groceries to donate to a food drive which the Alumni Office holds during the fall holidays.

Coupon Inserts

How many coupon inserts did you buy today?

I bought my normal 6 inserts from SundayCouponInserts.  Since my local Sunday papers now cost $1.50 (instead of $.98) I find it well worth the money to get my coupon inserts from Tampa, Florida.  I also know that I am getting the better coupons.

This morning I decided to make a run to Wal-Mart.  Now keep in mind I do not shop for very many things at Wal-Mart.  I will admit that I used to do all of my grocery shopping at Wal-Mart.  Once I started using coupons 2+ years ago I very seldom buy anything at Wal-Mart anymore.  However I was wanting to get some Diet Dr. Pepper and look to see if they carried Purina One Dog food.  I had read a couple of blogs that were promoting the fact that we could use the $4/1 Purina One Dog Food coupon from today SmartSource on a 1lb box which Wal-Mart sells for $2.57.  Well, appears that Wal-Mart does not sell anything smaller then a 3.5 lb bag for $6+.  I am going to watch the local stores for sales and while it may not be a money maker I should get a good deal on the dog food.

I grabbed a newpaper to see what coupons were in our local inserts and was surprised to see that we had the coupon for the new Diet Dr. Pepper 10 (up to $1.99 off).  Well the store brand soda went quickly back on the shelf.  I grabbed 10 Diet Dr. Pepper 10's and 10 newspapers.  I did have to go through several newspapers before I found 10 SmartSource that had the DDP10 coupon.  Appears there were 2 different Smart Source in our local newspaper today.  First time I seen that happen.

I bought 10 newspapers for $15.00, pulled out the coupons, then bought 10 Diet Dr. Pepper 10's for free.  The Diet Dr. Pepper 10's were $1.00 each.  The way I look at it, I would have spent $8.50 on the store brand soda anyway, so why not buy additional newspapers and apply the 'soda money' to the papers.  I ended up paying $6.50 for 10 newspapers (my math is coming from the $15 - $8.50 for store brand soda). 

I am also excited because our local coupon inserts had coupons for 4 different 'Carolina Pride' meats (smoked sausage, bacon, sausage, and cocktail smokies).  These are not in the Tampa inserts.  All in all I think I made a good purchase.  I will keep track of what coupons I use out of these additional inserts to see if I did well, or if it was a bust.

This was not my best Wags trip.  I had a coupon problem on every transaction.  Forgot to scan the IVC on the first transaction.  The manager had to due a post coupon transaction.  On the second transaction, 2 of the manufacturers coupons would not scan, they had to manually enter them.  On the third transaction the Cottonelle coupons would not scan, they had to manually enter them.  On the fourth transactions the coupons were scanned for $5 and not marked down to $4.99, so the last coupon would not scan.   

I felt so sorry for the cashier because she had only been working there for a couple of weeks and you could tell that she had not been trained on coupons.  The store was slightly crowded so I did a transaction and then stepped to the back of the line.  Well, it ended up that she had to call the manager for every transaction.

Brother Laser Printer $79.49 plus S&H

Believe it or not, a LaserJet Printer is cheaper to use for printing coupons then an InkJet Printer.

If you need a printer right now I highly recommend the Brother LaserJet Printer.  You can currently pick up the Brother HL-2220 Monochrome Printer for $79.49 plus tax. 

If you can wait, you might be able to pick up the Brother HLW-2220 wireless LaserJet Printer for as low at $100.00. I purchased one last fall and would not use anything else.  The toner that came with the printer lasted for several months.  Remember, the toner that comes with the printer is a starter toner.  I have bought one replacement toner and except it to last for several more months.
