[pedspeech]

Combine $4 manufacturer's coupon for Febreze noticeables with $3 P&G e-saver, for a $1 MM!

I also got a home mailer for $1 off a pail of Kroger ice cream- wasn't going to use this one but for this price we will go for it!

I am happy to see the apples get this low, I have been wondering if we would see the prices that we've been hearing about on the weekly e-mail. If the pears were .50 lb I would be beyond thrilled (my favorite fall fruit). I guess I will settle for apples as my kids will eat a pound a day!

These are also stockpile prices for pork and chicken as far as I'm concerned.

Not a lot of freebies this week, but decent prices on some things I've needed.

Some weeks I think I am talking to myself in here (or just to danas_mom- she always seems to humor me) :wink7:. To encourage discussion this week, I am going to offer an RAOK potluck just to members of our forum. To enter, post in this thread and tell me something that you are going to make this week from this ad. You can of course supplement with stockpile items, but the bulk of the meal should be tailored around what is on sale this week. In your post, tell us where you are located so we can get a feel for who all is with us here. I will randomly decide a winner when I post next week's ad. Hope to hear from ya!

[kimbereid]

I'm not sure that I've ever posted, but I appreciate you putting this together every week Rebecca. It makes it so easy for me to know if I'm going shopping or not.

There is a coupon for The Proposal here: The Proposal (http://video.movies.go.com/theproposal/couponoffer/) $10 off blue ray or $5 off regular dvd


Kimberly

[danas_mom]

Thanks for the heads up about the Febreeze Noticeables, it's not the kind of thing I usually buy so I skipped right over it when I was looking at the ad. I'm sure I can find one of the $4 coupons around here somewhere.

I can't tell in the online ad if the party pail ice cream is "Deluxe" or not but there's a .75 shortcut coupon for Kroger Brand Deluxe ice cream. It's worth adding it to your card to see if it comes off if you're buying the ice cream anyway.

I am glad to see the Hershey's King Size in the ad 10/$10 again, my store doesn't mark it on the shelf and I've still got a few .55/1 Reese's coupons to use. Didn't want to pick any more up if they weren't going to be free.

I noticed in the last weeks' inserts a blurb for www.therealmealdeal.com (http://www.therealmealdeal.com) - there's a printable mail-in form for $5 in coupons WYB 5 listed products between 10/11 and 11/9. Aunt Jemima pancakes are one of the items, and I'm pretty sure they're part of the mega deal.

Your RAOK sounds fun! I'm afraid I can't participate as hubby isn't working so we're having to depend on the meat that's in the freezer and I don't see venison and moose in the ad. :hysterical:

[keeperathomeinar]

I like your potluck idea! I'm in central Arkansas. The cheapest meal that I love to make based on this ad would be BBQ pork sandwiches. I put a pork shoulder roast (or Boston Butt) in the crockpot all by itself, no water, salt, pepper, or anything, and cook all day or all night. Then, I take it out and debone it and get all the fat off and it practically shreds itself because it's so tender. Then, I put it back in the crock pot with whatever BBQ sauce I have (lots of Kraft, of course :giggle2:) and cook on low until I need to serve it. This is such an easy thing to have for company on Sunday as you can cook it all day Saturday, shred it that night, put it in the fridge until morning and then turn it back on low with the BBQ sauce and it's perfect when you return home from church.

To go with the sandwiches, I would make some cole slaw with that .45/lb cabbage and either an apple pie or fried apples with the Granny Smiths that are on sale. I also like to serve deviled eggs with this meal and maybe potato salad and baked beans.

Hope you enjoy!

BTW, this morning, I went to one of the Krogers here and they had so much good marked down produce!! I got 3 bags of granny smith apples marked down to .79 each and I froze them for apple pies. They also had a lot of rotisserie chickens marked down to 2.39 so I bought 3 and deboned them and put them in the freezer for some easy meals. I'm tempted to go buy some more. I love mark downs!!

Stacy

[anbfraz]

Ooooo! Sounds fun! Count me in...need to work on menu planning anyway!

Yes, thanks for mentioning the Febreze Noticeables. I found one of the $4 MQ's so I'll get one of those for my home office. Hopefully my store has the seasonal scents (love pumpkin spice), if not DH gets one for his classroom!

I plan to stock up on chicken & pork too. The apples look good and hopefully I'll run into some of those awesome produce markdowns too!

[anbfraz]

Hi everyone! My name is April and I am in Searcy, AR which is approximately 45 miles north of Little Rock.

Here's my meal idea using items from this weeks ad:

MOIST & TENDER SLICED QUARTER PORK LOIN, $1.68 lb
GRANNY SMITH OR ROME APPLES, 2/$3 (3 lb bag)

Baked Pork Chops & Apples

2 Tbs. butter
6 pork chops
4 apples
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Peel, core and slice apples.
Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag.
Place the apple slices in the bag and toss to coat.
Melt the butter in a skillet.
Salt & pepper chops then add to the skillet to brown on both sides.
Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray.
Place the apple slices in the bottom of the dish. Any leftover cinnamon sugar can be sprinkled over the top of the apples.
Place pork chops on top of the apples.
Cover dish with foil and bake for 1 hour (or longer depending upon thickness of chops).

Sides: mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, broccoli, brown rice, green beans...really whatever you like (or have in the stockpile)!

When's dinner????? :wavehi:

(I'm in central AR too! Didn't think to mention that earlier.)

[pedspeech]

OK- don't want anyone to feel like they can't play if they aren't buying meat this week! New rule- post a meal idea from the ad, whether you are actually planning on making it or not. See, the benefit to being the mod and running the RAOK is that I can just randomly make up rules as I go!

I already had the pork barbecue on my menu for this week- that is exactly how I do it, Stacy! Thanks for pointing out the cabbage, though- I probably would have overlooked it. April, your dish sounds great, I will have to give that a try. I have done something similar with a can of apple pie filling and Stove Top on top but yours sounds healthier!

Keep 'em coming!

[VictoriaR]

Hi everyone! I'm in central Arkansas too, so I thought I would join in. Thanks for the heads up on the Febreeze Noticeables and the produce deals. I'm hoping to find some good deals on my shopping trip tomorrow. After looking at the ad, I'm thinking that there is an aquafresh toothpaste coupon out for .50 cents and if it works then these are free! Also, the Pantene stylers are .97 cents with the $1/1 coupon from the P&G insert and the P&G esaver.

All of the meal ideas sound delicious. My meal idea is pretty simple using the Bryan Smoked Sausage on sale this week for 2 for $4 with the Red Plum coupon and a package of Zatarains Red Beans and Rice Mix on sale for a $1. It's sort of a jambalaya.

I saute chopped green peppers and unions in some olive oil.
Add diced sausage and mix until fully cooked
Add a can of italian-style diced tomatoes
Mix in 1/2 tablespoon of Cayenne pepper
Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Serve over cooked rice and beans
*since the pork is marked down you can add some chopped cooked pork or serve this as a side

For dessert I was thinking about making an apple-pear crisp pie

Peel and thinly slice 4 granny smith apples
Peel and thinly slice 4 pears
Mix slices with
1/3 cup of sugar

1/4 cup flour

1/2 a tablespoon of ground cinnamon

Pour slices into prepared pie crust and top with mixture of 3/4 cups of crushed vanilla wafers, 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Bake covered at 375 for 25 minutes then uncover and bake for another ten minutes.

You might top this with some ice cream since its on sale this week.

Thanks pedspeech for all of your hard work every week. You have been such a great help now that I'm swamped with work and don't have much time to coupon and meal plan.

Glad you mentioned that! I forgot to add a variation which is to prepare some stuffing and then add it to the dish on top of the pork chops. A yummy "fall" inspired dish all in one pan!

Everyone's recipes sound great! It's so nice to get some fresh ideas, thanks for sharing. :smile:

[dellavablondie]

When's dinner????? :wavehi:

(I'm in central AR too! Didn't think to mention that earlier.)

I'm with Dana! You guys are coming up with some GREAT ideas. I love the Crock Pot BBQ, we do something very similar....but we add the BBQ sauce (Kraft of course ;) while it cooks, but just a little....about 1/3 a bottle....then shred it and put it back with fresh new bbq sauce. I made that so much this summer the boys (My 70 year old dad and my 19 year old son) are tired of it :(

I know most everyone is in "Tyson Country" but I must tell you guys, the Sanderson Farm chicken is by far the best brand money can buy. I learned of it when I lived in atlanta and I just love the quality. It's on a great sale this week, and I always buy stockpiles of the chicken tenders. These go in EVERYTHING!

We love to coat them in crushed coarn flakes, spicy seasoned salt and bake them for crunchy chicken fingers!!!

I follow $5 meals and that sweetheart that puts her ideas out everyday just had a great recipe for a crockpot meal called "Applesauce Chicken"....I am going to try that this week.

Here is her whole meal plan:
Applesauce Chicken
Brown Rice
Acorn Squash Mash

Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs.) ($2.28) On sale for $1.49/lb at a local grocer this week!!!
Salt and pepper, sprinkled over chicken
1 tsp garlic powder ($.05)
1 1/2 cup applesauce ($.50)
1 Tbsp apple cidar vinegar ($.05)
1 tsp cinnamon ($.05)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 medium acorn squash (about 2 lbs.) ($1.02) Unadvertised sale of $.49/lb!
Butter or margarine ($.20)
3-4 Tbsp brown sugar, maple syrup or honey ($.25)
1 cup brown rice ($.40)
1/2 cup apple juice ($.20)
**Note: Use split breast chicken, chicken thighs or drumsticks to make this meal even cheaper!!!
Directions
1. Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken breasts into base of slow cooker. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper and garlic powder.
2. In small bowl, combine applesauce, cidar vinegar and cinnamon. Pour over the chicken breasts. Set slow cooker on high and cook for 6 hours, or low for 8 hours.
3. Cook acorn squash, same method as you cook butternut squash (http://www.5dollardinners.com/2009/09/how-to-bake-butternut-squash.html). Takes about 45 minutes to bake, so start at the same time as you start the rice to get them both on the table at the same time!
4. In medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of brown rice and 1/2 cup of apple juice. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until brown rice is fluffy.
5. Serve Slow Cooker Applesauce Chicken with Sweetened Acorn Sqaush and Brown Rice
Cost $5.00

Oh, and I live in Southeast Missouri, and must drive the three hour round trip to Jonesboro, AR Kroger, so I only get there once a month....You guys help me make my long trip worthwhile...thank you!

New rule- post a meal idea from the ad, whether you are actually planning on making it or not.

Awesome, thanks!!!

In that case...

USDA CHOICE BONELESS CHUCK POT ROAST, $2.17 lb
KROGER VALUE RUSSET POTATOES, $3.49, 10 lb Bag

GRANNY SMITH OR ROME APPLES, 2/$3 (3 lb bag)
KROGER PARTY PAIL ICE CREAM, $2.77

Menu will be beef stew served with Grands biscuits from last week's sale (may still be on, I didn't check today), with apple cobbler for dessert.

Beef stew:
Take approximately half of a large chuck roast and cut into bite sized chunks. Dredge beef chunks in seasoned flour (salt, pepper, garlic powder) and brown in canola oil. Remove from pan and put into crockpot. Chop some onion, celery, potatoes, and carrots into large bite sized pieces and put into crockpot with meat. Pour two cans of diced or stewed tomatoes into crockpot (or one quart jar home canned) then pour in enough water to just cover meat and veggies. Cook on low for several hours. Serve with Grands biscuits, or other bread on side.

Apple Cobbler:
Wash, peel, and slice enough granny smith or other baking apples to make about four cups sliced apples. Combine sliced apples with 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon to taste. (I also add about a cup of frozen blueberries, yum!) For crust, combine 1 cup oats, 1 cup flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, and 1/2 cup butter until mixture is crumbly. Pat down about half the mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish, top with fruit, and then sprinkle the remaining crust mixture over the top. Bake at 350* for 30 to 45 minutes, until crust is browned and fruit is tender. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Some good deals I found at my store today...

Gatorade 32 oz. bottles of G2 on clearance for $.59! I found these in a cart in the cleaning products aisle. There were several flavors including fruit punch, orange, lemon lime, rain and blueberry pomegranate. I had some $1/3 hangtags Q's that I found at Kroger about a month ago, so I got these for $.26 each.

Dole Pineapple, canned, all varieties I saw (chunk, slices, crushed, tidbits) are on sale 10/$10. If you still have the $.50/1 IP (no longer available as far as I know) these are free! I've been saving those Q's waiting for this sale to come back around.

FYI - the Sanderson Farms boneless, skinless chicken breast on sale this week has peelies for $1.00 off the chicken wyb a particular item. The three different peelies at my store were: French's onions (you know, that go on green bean casserole), Morton's Seasoning salt, or Ziploc vacuum product (starter or refills).

There are also $1 Q's for French's onions in one of those little "booklet" holders right on the shelf by the product.

There are so many yummy ideas on here! LOVE THIS idea, Rebecca! We've been gone so I haven't shopped the ad. But I'm taking notes of all these yummy recipes for future planning! Just thought I'd pop in :biggrin:

BTW, I'm in the Memphis area.

Thanks for the ad/coupon matchup! Sorry I can't participate in the RAOK thing, but I've been out for a week and it's been crazy trying to get caught up!

[pedspeech]

April, made your baked pork chops and apples last night- it was a big hit! Thanks for the idea.

Anyone else want to play? Doesn't have to be anything intricate. My DH was out of town this weekend so the kids had "mummy dogs" (stockpile hot dogs and the Pillsbury biscuits that are still cheap/free this week) along with homemade applesauce.
