bottom dollar price matching and truckload sale

you guys know how much i love bottom dollar produce.
and their milk is always the cheapest ($2.29/gallon).


today i decided i would try to do some price matching.

bottom dollar will match any price
in a print ad from around town.

it's easy!

just take your circulars with you and show them to the checkout cashier as you are checking out.
i used the food lion ad to get the holly farms boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.67/lb
and an avocado for 79¢.
then i used the harris teeter ad to get
asparagus for 99¢/lb and breyers ice cream for $1.99.

this week bottom dollar has some great prices of their own too.
go here to see the ad.
5 lb potatoes 88¢
whole chickens 47¢/lb
bananas 34¢/lb
cabbage 33¢/lb
food lion butter $1.88

this weekend, friday, saturday, and sunday, they are having a truckload sale.
extra large shrimp $2.99/lb
(sold in 5 lb bags @$14.95 each)
smart option sandwich bread 68¢
food lion large eggs 68¢
food lion 12" self rising or thin crust pizza bogof ($1.99 each)
smart option ice cream 99¢

finally, bottom dollar has introduced their own brand of $2.99 wine.
they had chardonnay, merlot, white zinfandel, and cabernet sauvignon varieties.
here's some information:

Pinecroft Cabernet Sauvignon Our full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon has woody notes of cedar with a hint of vanilla. This smooth Cabernet Sauvignon develops into a lush, silky finish. This timeless wine complements hearty pasta dishes and filet of beef.

Pinecroft Chardonnay Our refreshing Chardonnay displays aromas of apple and peach with a medley of tropical fruit flavors. This well-balanced Chardonnay, ending on a clean and crisp note, is a perfect complement to pan seared chicken or grilled shrimp skewers.

Pinecroft Merlot Our medium-bodied Merlot has enticing aromas of black currant, bing cherries, and toasty vanilla. This enticing Merlot ends with a long, smooth finish. Pair this Merlot with hearty homemade pizza or grilled pork tenderloin.

Pinecroft White Zinfandel Bursting with fresh strawberries and raspberries, this wine has a wonderful hint of sweetness.

this was posted on hot coupon world:
Spotted a good deal sticker under the milk- you can get $2 off milk wyb 2 select Kraft or Nabisco bars (listed were South Beach, Planters Nutrition and/or Nabisco 100 calorie chocolate dipped bars. This would make for a 69 cent gallon of milk!

what's cookin'?

i wanted to share some yummy things that we have been making at my house.

DD loves to make dessert on american idol night.
this shortbread recipe is so simple, but so delicious.
the first time i had it was at a summer bible school meeting many, many years ago, where a kind woman named gail invited us over to plan. she served this hot from the oven with iced tea. it was amazing. i got the recipe immediately. this is equally wonderful with coffee or hot chocolate. and with only 3 ingredients (butter, sugar, and flour) you can whip it up anytime.
next, i had to try the pioneer woman's spaghetti and meatball recipe.
it was kind of time consuming...i did use all ground beef and store bought breadcrumbs. it was good, but my favorite part was the simple tomato sauce. i will definately use that again.
finally, last night i had a couple of sweet potatoes that needed to be cooked. i only had two, so decided to make mashed sweet potatoes so there would be plenty for the family. i found this recipe on martha stewart's website, but substituted 8th continent vanilla soymilk (that we got at harris teeter for free during super doubles) for the half and half. it was fabulous, the vanilla in the soymilk really added to the flavor.

*also, did i tell you about the target text coupons?
you can sign up here.
they send you a text, and then you go to a website on your phone (so you have to have internet on your phone for this to work).
then a barcode shows up on your phone screen and the cashier scans it!
you should have seen the look on the cashiers face when i tried to explain it to her.
she had never heard of it.
then the manager came over.
she said i was the first one to do it!
it worked!
so i was able to use the target printable, the target text, and i also had a manufacturer coupon for $1/2 kraft cheese. the two target coupons came off, but the man. Q didn't even show up :(
but i was too tired to go back in.
