"You got how many biscuits?!?!?"
Chicken Pot Pie (adapted from pillsbury.com)
Crust:
1 Can of Biscuit Dough
Filling:
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
2 1/2 cups chicken
2 cups Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers frozen mixed veggies, or just peas, or whatever you have
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 F
2. Put 3 or 4 biscuit circles on the bottom of your pan ( I used a 6-7 in round baking dish) and spread them out so they are all touching or over lapping
Cook for 20 minutes
3. Meanwhile, in a saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, cook 2 minutes, stirring often. Stir in flour and seasonings. Gradually stir in broth and milk, cooking and stirring until bubbly and thickened.
4. Stir in chicken and vegatables. Remove from heat.
5. Put in baking dish and top with 3-4 more biscuit squares.
6. Bake 25-35 minutes, or until top is a pretty brown. (you may need to cover with foil for the last 15 minutes or so to prevent too much browning)
We had this last night and everyone liked it. I have never made a pot pie, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it was easy, quick and I used all ingredients that I had gotten for dang cheap or free. I think the whole meal cost me 50 cents!
Thanks everyone who commented on ideas...
I made the mini pizza's for lunch today for my kids and they were a hit! Just put some spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese and bake them up! (I didn't time it, I just watched them closely)
Here's a recipe from all recipes for monkey bread. Can't wait to try this one!
INGREDIENTS
3 (10 oz) packages biscuit dough
3/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 cup margarine
3/4 cup white sugar
DIRECTIONS
1. Mix together 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon
2. Quarter the biscuits with kitchen shears (dip shears in water after each cut to keep biscuits from getting too sticky). Dip biscuits into sugar mixture, and place in a greased tube pan.
3. Melt margarine and mix in 3/4 cup sugar. Pour over biscuits.
4. Bake in oven at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes.
I'll try to add more as I find them!

Here's my deals...
Grands biscuits...free (some of the biscuits have 50 cents off any 2 stickies on them, which makes them free)
chex mix...I'm stupid and forgot to give my coupon to the cashier...does anyone else do this?...made me mad at myself. So, they were $1...should have been free
Betty Crocker cake mix...25 cents
Betty Crocker frosting...17 cents (with a 50 cent manuf. coupon)
Betty Crocker cookie pouches...17 cents (the frosting I bought had 50 cents off any cookie pouch, so I used the coupons from those for the cookie pouches)
Betty Crocker Stickers (fruit roll up thingys)...they paid me $1 for every 5 I bought (I had manuf. coupons for 50 cents off per box and then the catalina for $3.50 printed off also. I didn't try more than 5 boxes per transaction, because the catalina prints $3.50 off per 5 boxes, so I don't think it would print 2 of them for 10.
Get to Albertson's...
30 cans of Pillsbury grand bisquits (used 10 .75/3 manufactured coupons that my store manager gave me) = FREE
18 boxes of fruit snacks (used .50 off manufactured & .75/3 Printable coupons & recieved $ 3.50 catalina when you buy 5)
10 boxes of Betty Crocker cake mixes ( no coupons needed) = .25
5 tubs of frosting (used 5 .50 off manufactured coupon) = .17 each
5 cookie pouches (used 5 .50 off manufactured coupon) = .17 each
2 boxes of Betty Crocker supreme brownies (used 1 .50/2 manufactured coupon)= .75 each
***after all my coupons & 10.00 catalinas, I spent $ 12.05 out of pocket***
I saved $ 207.68
My Albertsons Trip
- Betty Crocker Warm Delights were 0.17 cents after .50 cent off coupon
- Pillsbury Grands Biscuits are FREE with .75 cent off 3 coupons. (Albies @ Mer/Fairview has tons of coupons these coupons to give away).
- Chex Mix and Cheerios Mix are .50 cents to free depending on the coupon. There are .50 cent off newspaper coupons, .60 cent and $1 off printables.
- Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks/Gushers/Fruit Rolls are somewhere between .05 cents or -.20 cents (overage) depending on your coupons. I got 50 boxes for free! There are many variations coupons out there .50/1, .50/2, $1.25/4 and $1.5/5 are what I used.
- When you buy 5 fruit snacks/gush/rolls you get an additional $3.50 off catalina with the $10 off. In each transaction I had 5 fruit snacks and 5 other items. I was afraid if I did 10 fruit snacks together in one transaction, I'd only get one $3.50 catalina. If anyone tries this and gets 2 $3.50 cats please let us know!
cookie mix will be .37 cents after .40 cent off coupon

2. A few people have asked me, and unlike Walgreens, at Albertson's if you do several back to back transactions and use the $10 Catalina, a new one will print each time.
3. Don't forget to get your printables...
- boxtop4education has several good ones for this sale
- pillsbury.com
- bettycrocker.com
- $1/1 Chex Mix (you may have trouble printing, if so try this link instead.)
Happy Shopping Everyone! I will post my shopping list hopefully by tomorrow morning.

Albertson's Preview 2/18-2/24
Ice Cream and restaurants
Also, if you want a great deal for dining out, go to www.restaurant.com and you can get $25 gift cards to a bunch of local restaurants for $3! I've used these before and had no problems with it. Use the code PREZ at the checkout, and you'll get the deal. Just FYI, most of the restaurants require you to spend at least $35 on dinner with these certificates.... Order them soon though, because they do sell out, especially at this price.

Ocean Spray Printable INVALID!
. . . unless you're up for a road trip to Canada. The ocean spray coupon was not fraudulent. It was, however, a Canadian coupon which is not accepted in the US. We called OceanSpray company to confirm this info. The website where we all went to print the oceanspray coupon was oceanspray.ca. . . the ca in the url stands for Canada. I didn't know that!Wednesday, February 11, 2009

Decoding barcodes. Wonder if your coupon will work on a product?
(who received the info from: moneysavingmadness.blogspot.com)
It talks about how to tell if your coupon will work on a certain product, by looking at the numbers on the barcode. Your coupon should work if the first 5 numbers of the barcode match the first 5 #'s on the product barcode, if they match, your coupon should work! Try it out, I did. I pulled out my kotex coupons and they matched to the ones I've been getting at Wal Mart. I looked at my febreeze, they match too, shampoo, lotion ect...
I hope that helps someone, I never knew about it, so next time you're wondering if your coupon will work on the product, check out your barcode numbers to see if they match up!
Are you a coupon addict?

KCL Investigates: Fraudulent Colgate?
The only toothpaste prinatble coupon that's out right now is accesible from the website link below.
First let me say thanks to our contributor Emily for all her wonderful posts. She is the most seasoned couponer on our panel and the biggest philanthropist of couponed goods. I completely respect and trust her. I also appreciate the Colgate coupon's validity being called into question. I agree that it is highly suspect and probably fraudulent. The best way to tell for sure is to ask the company that puts out the coupons. I will be calling Colgate customer service tomorrow at 7:00 AM to ask about the coupon. I will post what I find first thing in the morning. There is a $1.00 off coupon that you can access from Colgate's website.
.15 Scott Toilet Paper and Free Single Darigold
TGI Friday's buy one get one free!
Make Money At Walgreens & get FREE toothpaste!
Right now at Walgreens, their Colgate toothpaste is on sale for $ 1.50, and when you buy 2, you get a $ 1.00 RR (Register Reward. It's a coupon you can use at Walgreens on your next visit)
Clenece at: www.goodorfreedeals.blogspot.com has the Walgreens deals outlined and a link to print out $ 1.50 off colgate coupons! There are 4 coupons to a page and you can print out as many as you want! (She has a wonderful blog too!)
If you already have a TON of toothpaste, consider picking some up and donating them to your local shelter, your Relief society president etc... there are so many people we can help with our coupons!
Make sure to seperate your transactions into groups of 2 to get your $ 1.00 RR each time. I made the mistake the first few times, buying 4 at a time, but only 1 RR printed out. Today, I seperated my transactions with 2 toothpastes, and a RR printed out for every 2)
Good Luck!

Buy/Sell Kids Clothes! SAVE MONEY!
Calling all Moms! The dates have just been announced, March 19-21st for the Spring Sale at Moppet Togs Consignment sale! I joke that Christmas comes twice a year for me with this sale. Why save money on groceries just to spend it all on clothes for your kids? This is my favorite consignment sale in the valley. The clothes are much better quality than Other Mothers or Kid to Kid, and you can find much nicer, name brand and boutique brand clothing. I love kid shoes and I’ve bought pediped, primigi, stride rite, puma, gap and other nice brand shoes at this sale.
Buying: You can shop the sale with the general public, but if you’re like me you want to join the other crazies who volunteer for one 4 hour shift. Volunteering allows you to shop at the first pre-sale. Getting the first choice of these clothes is a big deal! I always volunteer and show up to the sale with a laundry basket to shop with! When you consign you also get to shop at a pre-sale, after the volunteers and before the general public.
Selling: How do you sell your kids clothes? Do you sell them at a garage sale for $1-2 per piece? Do you sell them on Ebay –all that hassle gets old for me too- and then paypal and ebay take their chunk of my money. Do you sell them to Other Mothers where they give you 45% of what they deem it’s worth? Moppet Togs is the answer. Here’s how to sell at the sale. You hang your cloths on hangers, all pinned together for outfits and you price what you want to sell it for. You cut a 3x5 card into thirds or fourths and pin it to the top right shoulder of the garment. Then you enter all you items and prices in an online database. When you go to drop of the clothing They’ll have barcodes printed out on stickers that you’ll stick to your tag. You keep 70% of the sale price of your items. Every night during the sale you can log in to your account and see how much you’ve sold! Lastly, you have the option to let your items go half off on the last day of the sale. On items that I love, I won’t let them go half off, but on things that I want gone, I do. This makes for great shopping on the last day of the sale. I’d guess atleast 80% of the merchandise goes half off on the last day. There is a huge price range, so ask what you want for your things.
