Sitting here at the moment trying to round
up coupons, sales and figure out Catalinas
(when you buy a certain amount of items
and get money back coupons to use on your
next purchase). I'm usually better prepared
for my shopping trips, ahhhh.
I will let you know the outcome of today's
shopping adventures with the break down of
coupons, sales and Catalinas when I return.
Every week I try to spend $40 to $45
on food and non food items.
Well gotta run and get the kids on the bus
then will head to the stores.

Been running around like a chicken with it's
head cut off.
Tony had to get a couple estimates on his truck today.
Looks like he should be getting it repaired in the near
future. This is from where the guy at work hit it
with the snow plow.

Tonight's Supper
I just threw it together with what I had, no recipe.
I had a whole chicken in the crock pot today to
use for the next couple of meals. It was driving
the cat and dog nuts!
Chicken Cordon Bleu Roll Ups (my recipe)
1 can 8 count Grand Biscuits .69 cents
1/2 chicken breast - .72 cents - (about 1/4 of my chicken)
8 slices Kroger swiss cheese $1.15
8 slices Oscar Mayer honey ham slices - free
1/2 cup Kroger bacon ranch dressing- .25 cents
TOTAL COST: $2.81
5 servings @ .56 cents a serving
(kids 1.5 each, tony 2, me 1, tony's lunch 2)
I think next time I might add a box of
Green Giant's broccoli and cheese to the roll ups.
1.) Roll out biscuits to a 6" circle.
2.) Place slice of swiss cheese on biscuit.
3.) Place ham slice on top of swiss cheese.
4.) Place a piece of chicken on top of ham.
Squirt about a teaspoon or so of ranch dressing on top.
5.) Roll up biscuits and arrange on baking sheet
with seam side down.
Put in preheated 350 degree oven
for about 15 minutes or until tops are golden.
6.) Serve with ranch dressing to dip in.

BEST BUY
Went to Best Buy at Polaris this evening.
What a pain in the rear they are!
We were interested in a computer they
had out for display. It clearly stated on the
computer's sticker that it had a 5 in 1 card reader
on board which it did not!! I bitched and complained
to the salesman, service desk and the manager that
I wanted the price discounted to reflect that it
did not have the options which was clearly stated
on the computer. To me it was false advertisement!
When I went to the service desk
she called over a walkie or whatever it is they have
for the manager about the situation.
I took the manager back to the computer on display
and I'll be damned if the salesman I spoke to earlier
didn't take the sticker off the computer so I couldn't
show him!! GRRRRR!!! No matter how much I bitched it
got me nowhere with getting the price reduced.
Then I pick up an anti-virus/spyware program I saw
hanging on a shelf that I thought was marked down
to $2.99. It said $2.99 on a yellow sticker on the
front. I get up to the checkout and the cashier
asks me what kind of plan I wanted. I was like
Do What? She said for the anti virus program, do
I want the $50, $60 or $70 plan. I had no clue
what she was talking about. I said the anti virus
program was $2.99. She says no, you pay $2.99
just for the disc then you have to pay these
other prices to operate it. AHHHHH.
I was out of my territory and getting nowhere with people.
I was fighting a losing battle with everything I knew.
I came so drained and flustered. I am in no hurry
to go back there anytime soon.
