SUPPER 12-1-09

Tonight's supper will be Sloppy Joe Pasta
with a side dish of corn and dinner rolls.
Dessert will be Candy Apple Pie with whipped
topping.

I always try to stretch meals into the next day so hubby and I can have lunch with the leftovers. He takes his lunch to work with him so there's no added expense of eating out. If I have a box of Hamburger Helper I add to it to make more. I use it as a starter mix. Like tonight I will add another box of spiral pasta and a can of Manwich to the Sloppy Joe Hamburger Helper.

Most everything I make has coupons or is a manager special.

Now going to break down the cost of this supper meal:

1# Hamburger (free)
Sloppy Joe Hamburger Helper (.50 cents)
Barilla Pasta Spirals (.50 cents)
can of Manwich (.30 cents)
12 Dinner Rolls (.50 cents)
Frozen Corn (free)
1 Pie Crust (.25 cents)
2 bags of frozen Candy Apple Pie Filling homemade (free apples from orchard)
Whipped Topping (.50 cents)

This made roughly 10 servings: $2.05
or .21 cents a serving

Any leftovers go in the freezer for a quick and easy lunch another day.

KROGER & HALLMARK SHOPPING

I love doing after Holidays shopping. No I don't mean running out after Christmas
and scooping up those great deals. I mean shopping for those discounts after Thanksgiving and all the other smaller holidays.

I stopped by Kroger to see if they had any after Thanksgiving mark downs.
I found:

Kroger Whipped Topping .50 cents each
Kroger Deep Dish Pie Shells, 2 pack .50 cents each
1/2 gallons of Kroger Orange Juice .50 cents each

I also stopped by Hallmark. I have coupons for $5.00 off a $5.00 or more purchase.
These coupons can be found in December's issues of Taste Of Home, Country Living, Oprah, Woman's Day and Family Circle.
Limit one coupon per transaction. I brought mom along so I could use a second coupon. I still have 2 more coupons to use but will have to make another trip.

I ended up getting 8 packs of tart melts for my electric potpourri dish.
Each package has 6 tarts in them.
They were originally $2.50 each x's 8 is $20.00
I found them in the markdown section for $1.50 each x's 8 is $12.00
Now deduct my two $5.00 coupons. Made them $2.00 for 8 packages or
.25 cents each.
A total savings of $18 off the original price!!
