Albertson's this week

Like I said earlier, I was out of town this week and missed the double coupons (tears =*(, but I hope some of you got to use them. They are a great way to get some extra savings. Although I was out of town for the week, I needed to make a milk run when we got home. So I jumped on PYP to see what this weeks sale was like and if there was anything worth stocking up on while I was there. And of course there was. I made my grocery shopping hating husband come with me and it was so much fun to watch his jaw drop when we went up to pay. I stocked up on

Betty Crocker frosting, cookie and muffin mixes and of course warm delights.
Nabisco Saltines
Hunts Manwich
Crystal Light
Pam cooking spray
Bisquik
Yoplait yogurt
Kraft Bagelfuls

The total after fresh value savings was about $160

The total after mfg coupons was about $100

Then all of the promos kicked in (Kraft $10/$4, Yoplait 10/$2)

This is when my husbands jaw hit the floor . . . my total out of pocket for 101 items was $55.03 and I got two $5 catalina's for the Conagra promo!

My total savings for this trip was $170.69.
I'm hoping to go back tomorrow to pick up a few more things. They were out of re fried beans and only had a few bisquick, warm delights & bagelfuls.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love couponing?

Chicken Pot Pie

If you got a chance to stock up on some Bisquik at Albertson's this week, here is a great recipe to use some of it. I got it from my step-mom (Thanks Lori!).



Chicken Pot Pie

2 c. chopped, cooked chicken

1 1/2 c. frozen mixed vegetables

1/4 c. each, celery & onion

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 c. chicken broth

1 1/2 c. instant bisquick

1 c. milk

1 stick melted butter, divided



Preheat oven to 350*. In greased 9x13 pan, layer chicken, mixed vegetables, celery & onion (sauteed in 1/2 sick butter). Mix soup, chicken broth & season with salt & pepper. Pour over layers. Stir together the biscuit mix & milk. Pour over casserole. Drizzle butter over topping. Bake 40-45 min.



I made it with a few variations. I didn't have celery or onion so I added some dried chopped onion I had in my spice cupboard. I also didn't have and cream of chicken soup (I guess it hasn't been on sale recently =). I got online and Googled cream of chicken soup substitutes and got this recipe . . .



Cream of chicken soup substitute

1 tbsp. butter

3 tbsp. all purpose flour

1/2 c. low sodium chicken broth

1/2 c. low-fat or fat free milk

salt and pepper to taste



Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in flour; keep stirring until smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat and add the chicken broth and milk, a little at a time, stirring to keep smooth. Return to heat. Bring sauce to a gentle boil; cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.



Use in place of condensed cream soups.



Can be varied by using vegetable broth, sauteed chopped celery, celery seed or sauteed chopped mushrooms.

It was very yummy and my family loved it!

I'm back

Sorry I abandoned you all for a week. I went to California to visit my sister and family. It was great, but I'm glad to be home. Hopefully you got to take advantage of the Albertson's double coupons in last Sunday's paper. I was so bumbed to come home and see that I had missed out. Oh, well. I'm hopping to head out today and see what's left of this weeks sales. Hope you are all well. I'd love to hear from some of you on how your doing with couponing, food storage and new recipes!

Albertson's sale 4/8

I took a picture, but mailed off my recpit for a rebate before writing down the details.

I got lots of Lysol cleaning supplies, more cereal with free milk, free eggs, peanut butter, frozen meals, some personal hygine items for my year supply of non food items, easter items and more.

I spent about $100 and saved over $200. It was great.

Mini Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes sounded really good the other night, but I didn't have any hamburger buns, so I got creative. I broke out some of my Grands Biscuits and made mini Sloppy Joes. They were fun and very tasty. We like Manwich for our Sloppy Joes. We rounded it off with some Oreida French Fries. Not the healthiest dinner I know, but it sure tasted good =)

Corn Bread Tacos

I got this from my friend Tracie's recipe blog. It is SO yummy.

1 lb. ground beef
1 cup of corn
1 small can of sliced olives
1 large can of tomato sauce
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 packet of Marie Calendar's corn bread (I used Quaker Yellow Corn Meal)

1. Cook ground beef, seasoning with garlic salt and pepper (drain)
2. Add corn, olives, tomato sauce and taco seasoning (set aside)
3. Follow directions on back of corn bread
4. In a 9x13 pan add the meat mixture and spread out evenly. Next add the cornbread mix and cover meat mixture completely.
5. Cook at 375* for 35 minutes and sprinkle with some cheddar cheese!! (optional)
