Oscar Mayer Lunchable only $.25 at Walmart

I found the Oscar Mayer Ham + American sub lunchable on sale at my local Walmart for 2/$2 and with the $.75 printable they were $.25 a piece. Money Saving Mom also mentioned them here if you have a Kroger or Meijer.

The coupons reset tomorrow so go ahead and print out the coupon before they are gone.

Thanks Crystal.

Budget Update

Monthly Update:

For the month of February I came in at $9.04 under my $500 budget. I purchased $798.51 of groceries for only $490.96. I saved $158.06 with coupons. My weekly average decreased from $123.51 in the month of January to $122.74 in February. It did not increase as much as I had hoped. Although this last week in February I purchased $31 of dog food at Target (on sale with coupons @ $6.99 each) and Zyrtec for my allergy sensitive hubby. So overall, I feel good that I came in under budget.

We have spring breaks in March which mean I need more food in the house, I am praying I can stretch my $500 to cover that as well.

Winn Dixie Deals 02/17-02/23

I think I am going to skip this week at Winn Dixie. I have a $4 catalina from last week's Pillsbury deal but it is good until next weekend. I try to make sure my savings are more than my gas money since it is an extra trip for me. A complete listing of the deals at Winn Dixie can be found here at Southern Savers.

Walgreens Week of 02/21/10 - 02/27/10

Does not look like a good week to me at Walgreens next week. Go here to see the list at Southern Savers. I do have $4 in RR to spend but at first glance did not see much to choose from. I probably need to buy my hubby some more Zyrtec but I have printed one of the coupons already the limited number of times.

I love the way this website gives you the option to create your own shopping list. You can check which items you want and print out a list of just these items with the corresponding coupons.

Saves me time which always helps.

Trip to Walgreens on February 15, 2010

I was able to purchase the above items with a shelf cost of $37.24 for only $6.29 and I received $4 in RR to use on my next purchase.

Transaction #1

Gillette fusion razor - $8.99 less $4 coupon from PG 2/7

(2) Orbit gum packs -$.69 x 2 after Walgreens in ad coupon

Subtotal $7.30 less $6 RR = $1.30 + $4RR received

Transaction #2

(1) Olay body wash - $5.29 less $1 coupon from PG 1/17

(1) Olay body wash - $2.64 (BOGO 50% off) less $1 coupon from PG 1/17

(2) Orbit gum packs - $.69 x 2 after Walgreens in ad coupon

(2) Kellogg's cereal - $1.99 x 2 less printable coupon $1.50/2

Subtotal $10.99 less $4 RR, $2RR = $4.99

The register rewards used were from last week's sales. I had to use the Orbit gum as fillers which is fine since I can't seem to buy enough gum for my gum chewing crowd. Walgreens will not let you use RR unless you have the same number of items as you do coupons or RR (Walgreens ad coupons do not count).

Dirt Cake

This is my youngest son's favorite dessert. He always asks for a Dirt Cake for his birthday.

1 12 oz Cool Whip

1 8 oz cream cheese

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup butter

2 large vanilla instant pudding packages

3 cups of cold milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 large package OREO cookies

Crush cookies until fine, divide crumbs in half. Cover bottom of 9x13 dish with 1/2 crumbs. In large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Add sugar and cool whip. Mix well-do not overbeat. In a separate bowl mix pudding, milk and vanilla together well. Combine both mixtures and pour over crumbs. Sprinkle rest of crumbs on top. Refrigerate 12 hours or freeze 1-2 hours.
