Weekly Deals

King Soopers still has their buy 10 items get $5.00 off this week. I was able to do 3 rewards in single transaction.

Last week I picked up 6 evaporated milk for free using the Sunday coupons. See Coupon list to find out where to find the coupons. Also, 4 boxes of 9 oz Cheez-its for $.25 each (see coupon list for coupons.)

I have used evaporated milk a lot this past year. I use it to replace milk in most my cooking; Cornbread, soups (instead of cream I use canned milk!), homemade breads and desserts. There are many ways to use evaporated milk and it is a great thing for your food storage. It is only good for about a year, so you do need to use it!

Albertson's has some great deals this week. I am going to buy 32 load Tide for $4.00 each (after promotion, but not including manufacture coupons.) Also, I will pick up some Pillsbury flour 5lbs for $1.00.

Happy Shopping this week!

$100 Saved

update: see Coupon counter on the left the amounts have changed due to my shopping trip to King Soopers last night on 120th and Colorado...with their re-grand opening they have some awesome deals!

Tide 64 load liquid detergent $8.88 and Charmin Basic 12 Big Rolls $4.49 (Go online to King Soopers and get $1.00 Tide coupon and $.35 Charmin Coupon that is linked to your KS shopping card.)!


The grapes are $1.oo/lb and a really big...and NOT that tasty...so I would pass. Strawberries are $1.98/lb (not a awesome price, but I grabbed a container) They looked really good...no bad or moldy ones in the containers.


$100 saved! Since July I have been keeping track of how many coupons and how much money I have saved using the coupons. I reached the $100 mark today! I average about $33 a month in coupon savings.


Coupon clipping takes practice. I feel like I use coupons wisely, buying things my family will really eat at the same time trying to keep a healthy balance of foods in my home. It seems like most coupons are for processed foods, so its easy to go overboard and have a lot of processed foods in your home because it is cheap. I have been a coupon clipper for 5 years, and I know I am better at using my coupons for my family needs then when I first started. You have to learn it is okay to pass up an amazing deal if its not something you usually buy or meets your family's diet.

I have also found that 90% of the coupons I use am able to match up with store sales to get the best deal. Sometimes (usually yogurt) I will use the coupon because I am buying the item now because we need it and can't wait for the store to put it on sale.

Pillsbury Sale and Catalina

King Soopers on 120th and Colorado Blvd. has the Pillsbury refrigerated bread dough on sale $1.00 each. This sale includes the crescents, Grands Biscuits, and Grands Sweet Rolls. There are Internet coupons and newspaper coupons available. I bought 8 crescent packages for $.50 each. Plus you get a bonus Catalina at the register. (Catalina is a coupon printed at the register for $$ off you next purchase.)

If you buy 3 Pillsbury you get $2.00
If you buy 4 Pillsbury you get $2.50
If you buy 5 Pillsbury you get $3.00

If you are buying a lot of Pillsbury items consider breaking it up into more than one transaction to get more Catalina's.

I think the Catalina deal should be at all Colorado King Soopers, but the $1.00 sale price for Pillsbury is only at the Thornton 120th ave Colorado Blvd location.

Coupon Update!

I have been keeping track of the coupons I have used over the last two months. Some shopping trips I use a lot and some trips I don't use any, but I am surprised of how it all adds up!

Since July 13, I have saved $72.52 using coupons!

Coupon clipping does take practice and discipline. Never use a coupon because its about to expire! Never use a coupon because its a great deal, but you won't really eat or use the item.
Try to match up coupons with store deals to maximize your savings!

If you print coupons off the computer make sure you only print coupons you are really going to use! Otherwise your not saving money, but spending money using up your paper and ink!

Computer Issues

update!
My monitor broke and we bought a new one! It is nice to be on the Internet again! I will not be posting weekly deals this week. Mostly because there were few deals to really post. You can always use the price point sheet and the coupon list to find great deals on your own.

It will be a few days before I can post or update due to computer issues.

Shopping Trip 15

I noticed we were low on milk, or maybe that was just my excuse to go back to Albertson's today :)

I paid $6.21 before tax on my groceries today! 5 boxes of cereal 2 (2 Cheerios and 3 Cinnamon Toast Crunch),
2 gallons of milk,
5 boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit snacks
Saturday's Trip:

I went into Albertson's Saturday and was surprised to find:

Now until September 6 you can get a catalina (the coupon that prints out at the register) at Albertson's that is good for your next shopping order. You have to be 3, 4, or 5 boxes of Betty Crocker fruit snacks ($.79 on sale this week) and you get a catalina for $1.50, $2.50 or $3.50.

I had the $1.50 catalina from my Saturday shopping trip...and I add 2 coupons for Betty Crocker fruit snacks...I went in to get this amazing deal. I did do 2 transactions. 5 Fruit Snacks and 2 boxes of Cheerios (I also earned 20 box top rewards) I used 4 coupons and the before tax total was $3.55 and I received a $3.50 catalina off my next shopping trip. (Which just happened to be transaction #2). I bought milk and 3 boxes of cinnamon toast crunch used 2 coupons and the before tax total was $2.66.


Saturday's Shopping Trip:
Betty Crocker fruit snacks $.79 and I had a couple of coupons so the final price was $.39 for one box and $.54 for two boxes (plus earned a catalina for $1.50 off my next shopping trip!)

I did pick up General Mills Cereal 8 boxes for $1.00 each (using Internet and newspaper coupons $1.00 buy 2.)

Grapes were yummy too $.89/lb

Rock of Ages

I got this Promotional CD, ROCK OF AGES earlier this week and I had a good time singing along to some of my favorite classic Rock tunes! Although, the music isn't sung by the original artists, it was a delight to listen to--and it would be perfect road trip music, cleaning the house, or any other situation you may find yourself belting out to your favorite 80's tunes. After listening to the music I think it would be a very entertaining Broadway musical to attend.
What is Rock of Ages? click here to view the making of soundtrack on youtube
Rock of Ages is a new Broadway musical starring, Constantine Maroulis (American Idol finalist!) It's 1987 and a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer and they fall in love to the music of the 80's--you know these songs from Journey, Bon Jovi, Styx, Reo Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Foreigner, Twisted Sister, Poison, Asia, Whitesnake and more....how could this not be a great CD or a Musical to attend! You can buy the CD here! I almost forgot--it has been nominated five times for a Tony-Award!

Green Chili Chowder

The original recipe came from my sister-in-law Andrea. This is a very to your taste kind of recipe so below is the way I make it.


5 small-medium white potatoes
3 Tbsp Chicken Bouillon
2 cans Evaporated Milk (or 1 can + 1 pt cream or half and half)
1-2 Chicken Breasts - sprinkle with seasoned salt before cooking and then shred or cubed
6-7 whole Green Chiles diced or to taste: add 3-4 for mild, 5-7 medium-hot
*can used 1 or 2 4-oz cans diced green chili

optional: serve with shredded cheddar cheese

I cook the chicken in the crock-pot with 1/4-1/2 C. water. Sprinkle the chicken generously with seasoned salt and cook on low 5-6 hours and then shred.

Scrub and cube potatoes, leaving skin on and place in large pot on stove. Put enough water in to barely cover potatoes and simmer until tender about 20-25 minutes.

Add bouillon 3 Tbsp. or more to taste, evaporated milk, cooked chicken, and green chili.

green chiles- for more heat leave the seeds and membranes with the green chili, remove completely for a milder soup.

variations: add 3 celery stalks sliced, boil with the potatoes

Cheese-Stuffed Jalapeno's

These jalapenos are from my garden. When I am not making salsa or have enough of a harvest to pickle and can the jalapenos--I love to make these tasty appetizers.

12 medium jalapeno peppers
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (Cheddar or Colby Jack)
additional shredded cheese to sprinkle on top of filling
3/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
bacon cooked and crumbled
(I use Kirkland bacon bits, but can cook and crumble 2 bacon strips)

Wear disposable gloves and cut jalapenos lengthwise to make a shell. The cheese filling stays in better if you cut a small part of the pepper to make a shell, instead of cutting it into equal halves. I will save the jalapeno tops and put some filling on top for the chef to taste after baking!

Place peppers in boiling water for 7-10 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside. The longer the peppers boil the milder they become.

In a small mixing bowl, beat cheeses and Worcestershire sauce until mixed.

Spoon filling into each jalapeno shell, remember the cheese will melt-so don't overfill or it will melt off jalapeno when warmed. Add a small amount of shredded cheese on top of cheese filling. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake 400 degrees 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Serve warm.
