:: Gretchen’s Walgreens Shopping Trip: $25.78 worth of products for $3.30 out of pocket

100_0596edited

Walgreens Shopping Trip

2 Suave Body Lotion at $3 - On Sale Buy 1 Get 1 50% off (2/$4.50) 
Used 2 $1.50/1 coupon from the 11/17 RedPlum insert
Buy 2 – Get 2,000 points (like $2)

3 Purex (33 loads) Laundry Detergent at $5.99 - On Sale Buy 1 Get 2 Free
Used $1.50/2 printable (no longer available)

1 M&M’s – $0.99 (filler – This was supposed to be $0.58. The manager had already been called up front twice for my coupons and I was in a hurry so I just decided to let it go. I’ll stick it in my Christmas gift stash.)

Used $4.50 Register Rewards from previous shopping trip

Total before coupons, sales and Register Rewards: $25.78

Total with tax ($0.82) after coupons, sales and Register Rewards: $3.30

If you don’t have Register Rewards, you can break this into 2 transactions to not spend as much out of pocket. Buy the Suave Lotion in Transaction #1 and Purex in Transaction #2. Redeem the 2,000 points (earned in your first transaction) in your second transaction. Your total out of pocket would be $3.99 plus tax.

:: Freezer Cooking in an Hour: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Waffles, Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins, and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Freezer Cooking in an Hour

I had a really successful Freezer Cooking in an Hour session last week and I didn’t get a chance to post about it until tonight!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Waffles

The Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Waffles turned out beautifully and they are SO good.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Definitely a winner recipe — and they freeze well, too!

Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins

The Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins were also a hit. The outside of the muffin is delicious and the inside jelly adds a fun surprise. These would make great lunchbox treats.

Freezer Cooking in an Hour

And finally, Kathrynne and Silas made the Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies all by themselves. I was quite proud of them for reading and following their very first recipe with almost no help from me.

Freezer Cooking in an Hour

While I’m not completely sure that they did everything exactly right, the end results were more than edible. And they were incredibly excited that their cookies turned out so well. I was thrilled to see them stepping up and taking on new responsibilities — even though it’s bittersweet to realize that I’m working myself out of a job!
