Thanks for the ideas thats very helpful. I have a Winetag for ButterBall Turkey and it says it has to be a whole turkey fresh or frozen. Got any ideas for that one. It seems to me its a pretty limited winetag its a whole Turkey or nothin. I also had a winetage for a Pork Roast and it had to be at least $8. I couldn't find a roast on sale let alone one for $8 they were all $12 or $15 and up. I haven't been so lucky to find any fabulous winetags, at least not yet.:sad:

Well that's a bummer.. I guess it's a whole turkey then... as far as the pork roast.. maybe you could get the butcher to cut a smaller one for you?

I had the meat counter person pack a $8 pork roast for me. They can cut meat to size and pack it for you. so the roast was $6 with the tag. i took it home and cut it into two roats for 2 dinners. two meals $3 bucks not bad.

Oh yeah. I didn't even think of the butcher, what a good idea. thanks guys. Maybe my winetag isn't so crummy after all.

A few more suggestions:

Chicken
go to the in-store deli/cafe thing and get a chicken nugget (or two). I did this for a WYB peelie (that I had already bought chicken for previously)... just so I could have less hassles at the checkout.

Oh... and spices
My store (Cash Wise) has bulk spices in the organic section. They are usually better quality and of course you can control the price :)

What would qualify as a stuffing product? I assume it can be anything used for a stuffing. I have already thought of eggs, bread, spices, rice or rice mix, broth, nuts and dried fruit. Any other suggestions. Also do you think using a mixer wine tag for soy or almond milk would be pushing it too much? I've known people who drink Kaluha & cream. Soy or almond milk could be used as a substitute I guess?

oysters, corn meal, corn bread mix, sausage, variety of spices ( sage ect), chicken broth, bread crumbs, bread itself, dried apricots, dried cranberries

try searching a recipe sire for stuffing recipes --

on the mixer subject -- please use coconut milk as a mixer, so why not soy or almond

please rep me if this helps

My first reaction for was a mixer was the premade stuff you just add alcohol to. Then I remembered that when I was little sodas and juice were referred to as mixers and there really weren't many premade mixers back then. The one that did give me pause was bottled water. But I have seen people cut scotch with bottled water so I thought that was OK.

Then I really started going with wouldn't anything you use to make a mixed drink or cocktail be considered a mixer. i have tried the kaluha and cream myself. Kinda like a low on cash substitute for Baileys Irish Cream. Actually chocolate almond milk and kaluha does sound pretty good. I think I have some kaluha around and I don't chocolate almond milk but I do have some vanilla.:drink71: About that point I figured I better get a second opinion.

Maybe you both deserve a good laugh because my next bright idea :idea: was coffee because you can make Irish coffee with it. But I guess I better not go there :whistle67:

Thank you both for your input.

I don't think the mixer could go for milk of any kind.. I understand where you are going.. :giggle2: but mixers are usually sodas and waters...

i have a 2/1 for a deli tray(found at HT this week).......what constitutes a tray? i'm thinking i'm not lucky enough for it to mean any deli product that comes in a plastic tray.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier.. yeah, I think they mean those premade trays of meat and cheeses... I have a couple of those too.. ;)

I don't see why not...its deli and it comes on a tray! It would be a YMMV thing though if the cashier questions it.

Found my first WTC today!! Save 2.00 when you purchase a prepared meal. What do you think constitutes a prepared meal?

I'm thinking the frozen entree things. Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisine???

Anyone?

Prepared meal usually means in-store coming from the deli department if they do fried/rotisserie chicken, take and bake pizzas, subs/sandwiches, individual meals, etc.
