that darn kraft $5/5 coupon
just a heads up....
the $5/5 kraft printable will not work at bottom dollar.
the cashier was very sweet about it and even talked to the manager.
it's crazy because the sour cream and shredded cheese i was trying to buy even had the little "huddle for hunger" sticker on it.
i had my printout of items that were included.
she apologized profusely.
so...
take it to food lion, i have used them there a few times with no problems.
but apparently it's not working at bottom dollar or walmart.

food lion candle deal
the hits keep comin' at food lion this week.
check out this candle deal from hot coupon world.
it works, i did it!
In Sunday's paper there were coupons for the 4 oz Glade candles for BOGO.
As you know FL has the "Buy $8 in Glade products, get $3 instant savings".
I found out today that if you buy (4) of the candles, two of them trigger $2 OYNO catalinas as well!
So here is how it worked for me:
(4) Glade 4 ounce candle jars = $13.96
(2) BOGO coupons from 9/26 insert - $6.98
Instant savings at register - $3.00
OOP = $3.98 + tax
Get back (2) $2 ONYNO

walmart kraft cheese
i was at the mooresville walmart yesterday and noticed that they have bags of shredded kraft cheese for $2.
if you have the $5/5 printable that's a pretty good deal.
it's still available here too!
*UPDATE ON THE WALMART CHEESE DEAL*
my friend went to walmart yesterday to do the cheese deal.
he said they told him that the $5/5 coupon is fraudulent.
this is not so!
if you look on the coupon, there is a 16 digit number beneath a barcode looking thing on the right side.
if you go to the coupons, inc resource page, you can enter this number to tell if your coupon is legit.
i have seen displays sending consumers to the "huddle to fight hunger" website to print this coupon.
it IS a legitimate coupon.
i have had the cashiers at walmart tell me that they will not take an internet printable that beeps. and this coupon does beep (i think because it's a high value coupon).
this is not, however, part of the walmart corporate coupon policy.
you may want to print that out and take it with you.
i think if you want to try this coupon at walmart, talk with a manager before checking out, point out the "veri-fi" code and present your case!

my new cooking adventures and trader joe's trip 8/20
so, we are down to one kid at home.son #3 left for college almost 2 weeks ago.
he'll be attending Catawba Valley Community College, where he will be able to play baseball!
(which is all he knows he wants to do at this point :)
anyway, our daughter is a vegetarian and has been for almost 2 years.
she and i both love to cook, and my wonderful husband is willing to try pretty much anything we put in front of him!
while at home, son #3 enjoyed his piece of beef, chicken, or salmon every night, and ate fruits and veggies for medicinal purposes only.
i miss him, but my cooking world has broken wide open!
the first week he was gone, we enjoyed some wonderful vegetarian fare including israeli couscous with sweet potatoes and raisins, hummus and pita bread, penne with tomato-basil sauce and roasted vegetables, and yummy salads.
on friday afternoon, DD and i decided to take a field trip to trader joe's in charlotte. i haven't "splurged" on trips like this in a long while. but i was pleasantly surprised at what we found.
did you know that trader joe's is owned by the same company as discount grocer aldi?
they sell mainly their own brand of stuff.
we went for the fun, healthy food, but we found some great prices!
TJ's has lots of interesting items.
our choices this trip:
-mochi green tea ice cream $3.49
little balls of coated ice cream. the ice cream on the inside was good, but the doughy stuff on the outside was a little wierd. but we had to try it because joe jonas likes it.
-rice baked triangle snacks $2.69
these were like hash brown cakes that you would get at a fast food place, but made of rice. pretty good!
we had those with some stir-fry veggies ($1.99) added teriyaki tofu ($3.49, enough for 2 meals)
-balela salad ($2.19)
very healthy salad of garbanzo and black beans, tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley, mint, with a vinegar and oil dressing. only 180 calories for the whole container.
i love this stuff!
-harvest grains blend ($2.69 for 1 lb.)
we love pasta and all carbs. this is a blend of israeli couscous, orzo, baby garbanzo beans, and red quinoa.
just boil it for 10 minutes, delish.
-roasted red pepper hummus ($2.99 for 10 oz)
trader joe's has the best hummus.
tons of flavors and types.
some things that surprised me:
great prices on beans. most inexpensive beans at the grocery store have added chemicals for color retention.
the majority of trader joe's beans have beans, water, and salt.
that's all i need!
prices range from 89¢- $1.09.
some i bought were organic, some not.
half and half $1.29. bottom dollar's price is $1.38!
bananas 19¢ each.
this works out to be about the same as bottom dollar, at 30-something cents a pound.
a lot of TJ's produce is sold by price per item, not per pound.
whole bean coffee $3.99 for 13 oz and sold in the cutest reusable paper canisters!
a lot of their packaging is very cool.
coconut milk 99¢.
that is cheap!
steel cut oats $2.29
mini pearl grape tomatoes $2.49 for a pound!
very generous joe :)
2 buck chuck $2.99.
this is trader joe's brand of wine.
lots of "flavors".
all good :)
here's a website devoted to trader joe's items.
take a look around.
trader joe's fan
trader joe's newsletter here (pdf)
the atmosphere at trader joe's is awesome too.
as you walk in, they have activities for the kids....and forks and spoons to go, just in case you can't wait to eat what you got!
here's another article about trader joe's.
read the comments to see what folks are buying (and loving!)

harris teeter free milk catalina
heard about this on the other blogs but wanted to make sure it was a go for us.free milk catalina prints after scanning the smart balance milk 1/2 gallon.
i went to the davidson harris teeter.
here's how to do the deal:
use the self checkout.
scan your 1/2 gallon of smart balance milk. (this was on sale last week, but that really doesn't matter).
after you scan the milk, a catalina for FREE half gallon of smart balance milk appears.
choose the "pay now" option.
it will ask if you have coupons.
choose "yes" and give the free coupon to the checkout person.
you will end up with a balance of 7¢ (tax)!!!
i have no idea how long this will last...
i don't know if you would get more than one free milk coupon if you scanned them all in the same transaction. i did 3 separate transactions and got 3 half gallons of milk for 21¢.
also, a catalina for $2 off 2 half gallons will print.
save for later!

public service announcement: COLONOSCOPY
thanks for jumping over!
almost 5 years ago, my mother died of colon cancer at age 71.
she had not visited a doctor for any reason in 40 years (since my younger brother was born).
she got really sick, really fast as it had spread to her brain and who knows where else.
she died within 6 weeks.
i realize that's how she wanted it, she didn't like intervention and her death was quick and relatively painless.
for her.
you see, the suffering is for those left behind...especially for my father, who was her totally devoted husband of almost 50 years.
he is still lost without her.
sometimes, i feel a little angry with her for that.
colon cancer is highly treatable and many times avoidable with early detection.
that means colonoscopy!
i just had one today and wanted to share with you that is was not that bad at all.
when i went for a physical this spring, my doctor advised that i go ahead and have a screening colonoscopy because of my mother's history, even though i am only 46.
most people can wait until 50 if they don't have symptoms or risk factors.
i was hesitant and told him i would check with my insurance company.
well, since it is preventive, they cover 100%.
great, i had no excuses.
my neighbor had recently had his first "screening" and used dr mike campbell and lake norman regional medical center. he was pleased, so i had my doctor (steve ferguson) set the appointment.
i went and talked to dr campbell, we mostly talked about our kids and his upcoming mission trip to africa. he listened to my heart and then i scheduled the procedure for tuesday july 13.
that was it.
so late last week, i went to target to pick up the HALFLYTELY "colon prep".
too bad there were not any gift card deals going on :)
if you have to pick one of these up, take your reusable shopping bag. it comes in a big box that says "bowel prep kit" in huge letters.
you will want to hide that.
while you are shopping, pick up the following items too:
moist toilet wipes
air freshner or a scented candle
A&D ointment
straws
true lemon crystallized lemon
tucks pads or witch hazel
any clear liquids you might enjoy including...
-popsicles and jello (not red or purple)
-clear broths or boullion
-juices or flavored waters
*it's also a good idea to plan ahead as to what your family will have for dinner that night.
i didn't really think of that beforehand.
thankfully i had some beef stew in the freezer that DH just heated in the microwave.
on monday july 12, i enjoyed a clear liquid diet starting in the morning.
i was kind of nervous so really the only thing i drank all day was some capri sun.
i missed my coffee because i like to have a little milk with mine and milk was not on the list.
around 10 am, you pop a couple laxative pills. i think they are the same thing as ducolax, they are included with the kit.
go ahead and mix up the liquid stuff now.
put it in the refrigerator. the colder the better.
the pills may start the action, it did for me.
then around 4 pm, start drinking the 2 liters of solution.
it's made up of PEG-3350 (miralax), salt, baking soda, and potassium chloride (which is sometimes used as a water softener!).
anyway, this solution cleans out your bowels while hopefully maintaining your electrolyte balance.
also in the package are 4 flavor packs.
my research told me to stay away from those.
after reading the ingredients on the back of the packs, including artificial flavorings and other weird stuff that i would not ordinarily consume, i pitched it.
i tasted the drink plain.
it was like soapy, salty water.
dr campbell told me i could use crystal light if i wanted.
i tried that in the first 8 oz.
too sweet.
next glass i tried using some "true lemon" that i got free at harris teeter not too long ago :)
it is crystallized lemon, 100% natural. that was much more tolerable.
next time i may get "true lime" and go for the margarita effect!
i kept switching my container of fluid from freezer to refrigerator.
trust me, the colder the better.
i poured it over crushed ice and used a straw.
i didn't gag.
and i made it through.
now the real fun began.
by 7:30 or 8 pm, i was cleaned out.
i had read it's like peeing out of your butt.
perfect description.
when you are cleaned out, there's no mucous, no nothing, just looks like pee.
i laid on the couch, watching youtube videos (did you know harry smith of cbsnews did an on-air colonoscopy? and you can see it on youtube!).
i was drained.
i slept well.
i got up and weighed myself, thinking about how skinny i must be.
i only lost 2 pounds.
my charming husband said, "i guess you weren't that full of crap after all".
i had to be at the hospital at 7 am for my 8 o'clock procedure.
all the nurses and techs were so nice.
they asked health history questions and started an IV.
the anesthesiologist came in and asked a few questions.
i didn't know, but my husband would have been able to come sit with me while i waited for my turn.
but he left and got his leaking tire fixed, which was fine by me, because i wasn't feeling like talking anyway.
when it was my turn, the nurse came to get me.
her name was lisa lamascola. our son's had played legion baseball together last summer!
so we talked about baseball as she wheeled my stretcher. they put some oxygen on me with a nasal canula, and a device on my finger to read my oxygen levels.
the anesthesiologist pushed some drugs through my IV. it was propofol and it was good stuff!
the very next thing i remember, i was back in the holding area. i woke up wide awake, no nausea, no gas pains, no wierdness at all. it was just as if i woke up in my own bed!
dr campbell came in for a second and said everything went well. he removed one hyperplastic polyp and they would send that off. (i came home and googled "hyperplastic polyp" and it means benign. but it's these kind of polyps that can turn in to cancer).
the nurse offered me some graham crackers and a drink.
i got dressed and warren and i were leaving the hospital by 9.
i'm still not too hungry.
but i feel just fine.
and my husband thanked me.
almost 5 years ago, my mother died of colon cancer at age 71.

and i made it through.
now the real fun began.
by 7:30 or 8 pm, i was cleaned out.
i had read it's like peeing out of your butt.
perfect description.
when you are cleaned out, there's no mucous, no nothing, just looks like pee.
i laid on the couch, watching youtube videos (did you know harry smith of cbsnews did an on-air colonoscopy? and you can see it on youtube!).
i was drained.
i slept well.
i got up and weighed myself, thinking about how skinny i must be.
i only lost 2 pounds.
my charming husband said, "i guess you weren't that full of crap after all".
i had to be at the hospital at 7 am for my 8 o'clock procedure.
all the nurses and techs were so nice.
they asked health history questions and started an IV.
the anesthesiologist came in and asked a few questions.
i didn't know, but my husband would have been able to come sit with me while i waited for my turn.
but he left and got his leaking tire fixed, which was fine by me, because i wasn't feeling like talking anyway.
when it was my turn, the nurse came to get me.
her name was lisa lamascola. our son's had played legion baseball together last summer!
so we talked about baseball as she wheeled my stretcher. they put some oxygen on me with a nasal canula, and a device on my finger to read my oxygen levels.
the anesthesiologist pushed some drugs through my IV. it was propofol and it was good stuff!
the very next thing i remember, i was back in the holding area. i woke up wide awake, no nausea, no gas pains, no wierdness at all. it was just as if i woke up in my own bed!
dr campbell came in for a second and said everything went well. he removed one hyperplastic polyp and they would send that off. (i came home and googled "hyperplastic polyp" and it means benign. but it's these kind of polyps that can turn in to cancer).
the nurse offered me some graham crackers and a drink.
i got dressed and warren and i were leaving the hospital by 9.
i'm still not too hungry.
but i feel just fine.
and my husband thanked me.

RaNdOm grocery thoughts for this week
i've had some great shopping trips since wednesday and have almost everything for DS's high school graduation cookout on june 12.
very happy about that!
here are some random things that are swirling in my head:
food lion:
the kraft salad dressing deal is great even with no coupons.
i have done multiple transactions buying 4 salad dressings at $1.66 each and another item from the $5/5 kraft deal. (see jenny's list here of what else is included)
there is, however, a tearpad (i got mine at the davidson HT) for $1 off produce wyb 2 kraft dressings.
so today i got a free red onion and bananas with my dressing deal.
i have been rolling my $3 catalina and spending very little out of pocket.
i think i will end up getting some kraft mayo sometime this week.
it's on sale for $2.50 and part of the deal.
so would end up being $1.50 for the big jar of mayo.
gonna need that for pasta and potato salads this summer.
oh that reminds me.
there is a tearpad at food lion near the potatoes that gets you some free maries potato salad dressing (located in the first part of the produce section) when you buy a bag of red or yukon gold potatoes.
red potatoes are on sale for $2.99 for 5 lb.
did i tell you about the food lion shrimp that is bogo this week?
i get the EZ peel jumbo for $4.99 and make this wonderful spicy shrimp from the pioneer woman's website.
it really is easy to peel.
and you don't have to use that much butter.
but you can :)
scott paper towels are on sale $4.77 for an 8 pack.
i have gotten 3 $1.50/1 scott towels coupon from the coupon scanner kiosk thing.
makes for cheap paper towels!
$3.27 for 8 rolls.
i also got a $1/1 kraft cheese (which is part of the 5/5 deal) from the kiosk.
try your luck! and i always look through the ones others have discarded.
harris teeter:
along with the great solo paper plates/cups deal, vanity fair plates are also on sale for $2.
the are the absolute nicest sturdiest plates on the market.
use the 50¢/1 from the 3/14 RP to get them for a dollar.
nestle coffee mate creamer is on sale for $1.66 until 6/8 i believe.
use the 50¢/1 from the 5/2 SS.
final price 66¢
VO5 shampoo is on sale for 69¢ this week.
don't know how good it is, but we are almost out!
it smelled good.
and don't forget to pick up the tearpad coupon for the produce when you buy 2 kraft dressings (to use at food lion).
very happy about that!

food lion update
looks like food lion has some kinks to work out with the $5/5 promotion.
read about it here.
the kraft dressings are not working (they should fix that) and the kool-aid packets do not work (no surprise on that one).
so, i would wait a few hours, check back to the above forum and see how things shake out.
