Welcome 2-27-08 thru 3-4-08

Welcome!! I hope everyone is doing well and are starting to feel their savings in the checkbook. Rumor is that there is going to be 3 inserts this upcoming Sunday so it might be a good coupon week. Hopefully the coupons we do get will make for great deals next week because I have mixed feelings about this week after last week's run on cheap veggies at Teeter!

I am going to be updating the individual grocery stores tomorrow (2-29-08) after I have done walk throughs- that is usually when I spot some good deals. I wonder if they intentionally have great unadvertised deals to see who the cherry pickers (couponers) are. Anyways, from what is on sale in the circulars there are plenty of things we can make for dinners. I did go overboard with the recipes this week but I had a ton more and that was what I could narrow it down to- I had a hard time making decisions about food this week!! Oh well....

There are a few Friday only deals you need to know about:

1. McDonalds: Free McSkillet Burrito with Medium or Large Drink Purchase. No coupon needed. Rumor is that to get your lowest oop (out of pocket) you should opt for the medium coffee.

2. Ronzoni Pasta: We recently got a mfg coupon for 1.00 off a box. There is a one day promotion with them that if you purchase one Ronzoni Healthy Harvest on Friday Feb 29, 2008 you will mail your original register tape and the official form (from the internet) by March 15 and will be reimbursed.This is a money maker since you will have the 1.00 coupon to use. Find the official form that you will need at
http://www.healthyharvestpasta.com/leap_rebate.htm

Remember the Flowers Thrift store in Jamestown for cheap bread that usually retails for over 2.39 a loaf. I am still eating my bread and it is very soft still and if I had gotten it at Aldi at the same time, it would be a cruton loaf by now. A much better deal.

There are several new sites that have coupons:
www.redplum.com
www.homesolutionsnews.com
www.franksredhot.com
wwwlfrenchsfoods.com
www.bettycrocker.com
www.pillsbury.com
www.unilever.com


There is also a deal for eating out that might be worth checking into. I saw in the coupon inserts this past week that O'Charleys has a special on Mondays and Tuesdays: 2 for 20.00: 2 dinners (Chicken O'Tenders, Cedar-planked Tilapia, Chili Cheese Nacho Burger, Cajun Chicken Pasta, Fried Shrimp Dinner) + 2 drinks + rolls. From what I remember it is O'Charleys that also has a deal for children. It used to be that with every adult meal you got 2 free childrens' meals. I am wondering if they will honor that with this deal. The whole family could eat for 20.00 and have leftovers I am sure.

Feel free to email me with any questions and forward to any of your friends you think might need it.

Cook onion and garlic in oil 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is crisp-tender. Stir in tomatoes, oregano and red pepper flakes. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and most of the liquid has evaporated. Spoon drained beans onto serving platter, to with tomato mixture. Sprinkel with cheese and reserved almonds. (8 servings, 2 Weight Watchers pt ea serving)

Baked Spinach:
1/2 cup butter
8 oz cream cheese
2 pkg frozen spinach
1 pkg onion soup mix
Preheat to 300. Melt butter in a large frying pan. Add 2 pkgs of spinach. Break up and stir. Add cream cheese and onion soup mix. Stir well. Place in a casserole dish and bake for 45 minutes.

Vegetable Medley:
2 (10 oz) pkg frozen veg (broc, cauli, carrots) cut, (if the mixture contains water chestnuts that's fine)

6 oz shredded med cheddar cheese
1/8 tsp celery salt
1/4 tsp minced onion
1/8 tsp dill seed
1/4 tsp paprika
dash of garlic, to taste

1 can fried onion rings
Preheat to 350. Defrost vegs and drain. In a saucepan over med heat, mix soup, sour cream, 2/3 of the shredded cheese and spices until well blended and cheese is melted. Place drained vegs in casserole dish. (It helps in cleaning later to spray a little nonstick spray in the bottom and sides.) Pour soup mixture evenly over top. Bake for 25 minutes or until bubbly. Take out of oven and sprinkle remaining cheese and onion rings. Return and bake 4 to 5 minutes, or until onion rings are lightly browned.

Maple Raisin Carrots:

2 tbsp maple syrup
3 cups frozen sliced carrots
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar and syrup. Cook, uncovered, over med heat for 3-5 minutes or until thickened. Stir in carrots and raisins. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 3-5 minutes longer or until carrots are tender.

Garlic Green Beans:
1- 1/2 lbs fresh green beans (*** I am using 24 oz of frozen and undercooking them so that they are sill crisp- this will work)
2 tbsp olive oil or canola oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
In a 15 x 10-inch baking pan, toss green beans, oil, garlic and Italian seasoning until beans are well coated. Bake, uncovered, at 45o for 12-15 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. (1/2 cup is 1.5 Weight Watchers pt)

Broccoli Au Gratin:

1 can (10.75) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers
Cook broccoli according to pkg directions; drain. Stir in the soup and cheese. Transfer to a greased 1 1/2 qt baking dish; sprinkle with the cracker crumbs. Bake, uncovered at 350 for 15020 minutes or until heated through.

Fresh Herb Bean Spread:
3 cloves garlic
2 cans (15.8 oz ea) Great Northern Beans, rinsed and drained
3 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh basil, coarsely chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme (I used dry and reduced to 1- 1.5 tsp)
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
With motor running, drop garlic cloves into a food processor. Add northern beans, lime juice and olive oil and puree until smooth. Add basil, thyme, salt and pepper and pulse until incorporated and herbs are coarsely chopped. Serve chilled with breadsticks, flatbread, crostini or fresh vegetables. This is awesome but it is strong on the breath so make your hubby eat it at the same time and you will be fine!

Cowboy Caviar:
2 cans seasoned black beans (completely rinsed and drained)
1 can regular Rotel tomatoes
1 pkg frozen shoepeg corn (15 oz)
1 can mexican blend chopped tomatoes (15 oz)
1 8 oz Zesty Italian dressing.
Mix all ingredients and chill overnight. This is great with tortilla chips.
**Add in black-eyed peas or cilantro to jazz it up even more.

Black Bean Soup:
1 tbsp veg oil
2 medium carrots, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/4 tsp ground cumin
2 cans (19 oz) black beans
1 can (14.5 oz) vegetable broth
1 tbsp lime juice
sour cream and cilantro.
In a large saucepan, heat oil over med-high heat. Add carrot, onion, garlic and cumin. Saute unil lightly softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in black beans, with liquid, and broth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to med-low, and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes. Puree soup in blender in small batches. Return to saucepan to reheat, and stir in lime juice. Divide among bowls and top with sour cream and cilantro, if desired. (It is ugly but very good) (6 one cup servings= 3 Weight Watchers pts each serving)

Peanut Butter Eggs:
6 tbsp butter, softened
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup marshmallow creme
1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
3/4 lb milk chocolate candy coating, chopped
2 tsp shortening
Colored sprinkles, optional.
In a small mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and marsmallow creme until smooth. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar. Drop by level tablespoonfuls onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; form into egg shapes. Freeze for 10 minutes. In a microwave, melt candy coating and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip eggs into candy coating; allow excess to drip off. Return to baking sheet; immediately decorate with sprinkles if desired. Let stand until set. Store in an airgight container. Yield: about 1 1/2 dozen.
This would be a good recipe to hold onto for Easter.

Harris Teeter Deals 2-27-08 thru 3-4-08

Harris Teeter basic coupon policy: they will double up to .99 face value coupons, 20 per order, will take 2 IP (internet printable) per order, BOGO items will ring up half price and you used to be able to you 2 coupons for BOGO deals but in recent weeks I was having trouble with this-- I suggest splitting orders and separate every BOGO deal of one per order so that you can use your coupons if you are getting identical products- I have found that if you get 2 different flavors of the BOGO deals then 2 coupons will go through without problems or beeping, if something is out of stock-get a raincheck because theirs are good forever, they will honor competitors' coupons (but I highly reccommend that you clear them through the CSM prior to shopping since some Teeters are giving people grief over them), they are great for marking down meats and breads with their own in-house coupons and you can then stack a mfg coupon on top of the store coupon, you need a Vic card and if you register it with their home page on the internet you will be eligible for weekly in-house deals that will come of automatically without any coupons. I love Harris Teeter- several times a year they will have triple coupons and you can use 20 per day with a face value up to .99.

Deals:

#1: Register your E-Vic card at www.harristeeter.com and you will automatically receive any or all of the following deals:
1.50 off Harris Teeter shredded 8 oz cheeses, reg price 2.99
1.50 off any variety Harris Teeter batteries
1.50 off Yourhome plastic cups
1.50 off Harris Teeter Naturals cookies
***choc chip on sale for 2.49
***oatmeal raisin on sale for 2.49
***animal cookies on sale for 2.79
These deals are once per registered card and you can only get each individual deal once during this week. The 1.50 will come off without you having to do anything.

#2: Kraft Shells & Cheese is on sale 10/10. There is a booklet at Food Lion apparently that has a coupon for 2.00 off 3 kraft products. I am on the search for the booklet and will update when I find it.

#3: There is a current beer rebate for pizza. It is from Icehouse and you will be reimbursed 4.00 for any 4.00 spent on pizza. This would be good for these little pizzas and you would score 4 free pizzas. It expires 3-31-08. Other pizzas will go on sale by the expiration date but it is a gamble since the only coupon I have right now is for Freschetta for 1.00 off and they are usually at best 3.33 so you would have to buy 2 and still pay out of pocket after the rebate. With this rebate you would get 4 free pizzas in the end with tax only being the out of pocket. I tend to go with free rather than waiting if I only have one coupon as in this case. I am cheap- that sounds bad- correct: I am a bargain hunter.

#4: You could do the Icehouse rebate for this one also but only get 1 pizza for the after rebate freebie.

#5: Catalina deal: Buy Hamburger Helper (or chicken, or tuna helper) between 2/29 and 3/32:
Buy 3, get a catalina for 1.50 off your next meat or chicken purchase
Buy 4, get a catalina for 2.00 off your next meat or chicken purchase
Buy 5, get a catalina for 2.50 off your next meat or chicken purchase
All Helper items must be purchased in one order.
Be on the lookout for the Hamburger Helper stuff to go on sale and combine with mfg coupons that are out and I am sure more are to come out.

#6: On the Sargento shredded cheese bags are green peelie coupons for .50/1 Pillsbury pizza crusts. These are on sale this week at Lowes Foods for 2.45 BOGO which will make them .22 each and you can stock up for pizza and calzones!

#7: Bird's Eye deal: Between 2-27-08 and 4-1-08 spend $30.00 on Bird's Eye, Michaels Angelo's, or Pepperidge Farm frozen products and receive a catalina coupon for $5.00 off your next purchase. These items do not have to be on same receipt so you have the whole month to cumulate towards the 30 and you can buy combinations from the different brands. Sometimes when they offer these deals, the items will rotate being on sale with mfg coupons. The original prices are what add up towards the 30 so do not hesitate about using mfg coupons. Just make sure you use the same Vic card (don't get yours mixed up with your husbands if you have different numbers is what I am saying).

Lowes Foods Deals 2-27-08 thru 3-4-08

Lowes Foods basic coupon policy: they will double coupons whose face value is .99 and under. They will honor competitor's coupons but I have had trouble with the Lowes on the corner of Piedmont Pkwy and Guilford College staying true to this new policy so I generally shop at the other Lowes on New Garden and Old Oak Ridge Rd. You need their greencard to get the sale prices. Occassionally- several times a year- they will have their triples and will triple mfg coupons. When I catch wind of a triple, I will try to warn you because the more organized you are, the more you can get for your money. They will accept IP (internet printables) and it depends on the cashier as to how many. Their formal policy is 2 per order but I have had cashiers who let me use more than 5 in one order. Their BOGO (buy one get one free) will ring up half price and they will let you use a coupon for each item in the BOGO deal. They changed their policy within the last six months-they used to have minimums before coupons would double. They are slowly becoming my favorite store because they are becoming more coupon friendly than Harris Teeter.

Buy 5, get 2.50 off your next meat or chicken purchase

#2: Use the Dole bagged salad coupons for 1.00/2 from Food Lion FRIDAY at Lowes. They are having a one day sale where the Dole salad will be .89 and with this coupon, they will be .39. Good deal.

#4: Look at the inside front flap of your circular- there are many good deals there: the eggs, the bread, the blueberries, the Barilla pasta. They can scan your Lowes card at the front and you will know what deals you can "afford".

#5: A second catalina deal: During the period of 2-29-08 through 3-23-08 if you purchase Kool-Aid (I think the they mean the big tubs of it not the skimpy little packs), Crystal Light, Country Time and Tang:
Buy 3, get 2.00 off your next order
Buy 4, get 3.00 off your next order
Buy 5, get 4.00 off your next order
All have to be purchased in one order to get the cat.

#6; There are still handtags on the Tobasco sauces and the Heinz 57's that would make them free.

Food Lion Deals 2-27-08 thru 3-4-08

Food Lion basic coupon policy: face value only, accepts internet printable coupons, BOGO items will ring up half price and they have no issues with using coupons on each of the BOGO items, you need the MVP card to get their sale prices. They have their own store internet coupons that can be either found by registering your MVP card at the Food Lion homepage and they will weekly email them to you or you can go to www.afullcup.com and print up your own. Food Lion is not my favorite grocery store but I will go in there for the loss leaders and to look for beer rebate forms which they are the best at having in stock in the Greensboro area.


Bird's Eye Viola! 4.99 BOGO- 1.00/1 IP= 1.50
***IP from couponbug.com
T.G.I.Friday's frozen appetizers 5/10- 1.00/4= get 4, 1.75 ea

#3: On 6 pack bottle packages of Leinenkugel's beer there are handtag rebates for spend 20.00 in meat or shrimp and get 10.00 back. These expire 3-4-08.

#4: Look for the $4.00 rebate on any fresh/frozen pizza purchase by Icehouse beer.

#5: Look for red blinkie box in front of the GM cereals for .75/2- the barcode starts with a 5 so this will double for the cereals at Lowes and Harris Teeters. In particular, Lowes has the Honey Nut Cheerios on sale this week 3.69 BOGO and if you get 2 and use one of these coupons, the final cost of the cereal per box would be: 1.10.
