Super Doubles Day 3

 

I had to go to 3 stores to find the All detergent. Luckily, the stores are all within a mile or two of each other.

Before coupons & sales- $130

Final cost after coupons and sales- $38.63

 

70% savings

 

I got the Gear deodorant at Lowes Foods on closeout. On sale for $2.49. Used a $2 Q that bought the price down to .49 or .98 for both.

 

So out of my $80 weekly grocery budget I have spent $75.80. I was able to stock up on things that I was running low on.

 

I really liked the Aleve deal.

 

A 100ct. bottle runs $10.99.

On sale for $8.99

Had a Q for $2 that doubled

Final cost- $4.99 for 100 ct.

That is a real blessing!

 

(The 50 ct. bottles usually run about $6 alone.)

 

Happy Super Doubles!

Dutch Potato Soup (GOOD for Cold Carolina Weather!)

This is an awesome (yet time consuming) soup to make. It has a lot of prep time that goes with it.

I like it too because it uses a lot of household staples. No fancy ingredients just wholesome goodness.

 

 You will need the following:

 

1 large onion-chopped finely

1 lb. bacon- cooked/crumbled

2 tablespoons of saved bacon grease

1/2 cup flour

Enough cut and diced potatoes to make 8 cups full

1 tablespoon thyme

2 cups milk

6 cups water (will need exact amount)

Salt & Pepper to taste

 

 

Cook down the onions in the bacon grease.

 

 

 

This is what they will look like. Brown and tender.

 

 

Bacon fried and grease saved.

 

 

8 cups taters diced

 

 

Place the water, thyme, and taters into a large soup pot. Boil until tender when inserted with a fork.

 

 

Drain taters.

 

 

Save the water.

 

 

Reserve half of the cooked taters and mash.

 

 

Mashed taters.

 

 

Add the flour. Mix well with the taters.

 

 

Pour the reserved water into the taters/flour mixture and mix well.

 

 

 

Add onions.

 

 

Add bacon.

 

 

Add the other half of the taters.

 

 

Pour in the 2 cups milk and stir.

 

 

Bring to a slow boil. It will thicken slowly.

 

 

All done!

 

This soup is not super thick. Enough though to be able to dip corn bread into and sup up!

 

Add cheddar cheese on top before serving. YUMMY!

It's Super Doubles Week at Harris Teeter! (Jan.7th-Jan. 13th- 2015)

• 

What is Super Doubles? Here in NC we have a grocery store called Harris Teeter. They double coupons everyday up to .99. This week though, they are doubling coupons up to $2. So that means a coupon for $1 now doubles to $2. A $2 coupon will double to $4. All which can lead up to great savings and makes it an excellent time to stock up so you don't have to pay full price!

 

Without coupons- $85

With coupons I only paid $25!

 

Happy Dance!

 

The plates were .50 (50 ct.)

Butter was $1.50 (1lb.)

 

I had rain checks for them.
