Easy Recipe for the End of the Month Stretch
I received an e-mail from a friend earlier this week who is expecting her third child in November:
"I am trying to meal plan for November and I am bored with all my recipes. Since I don't plan on leaving the house much, there are a lot of days to plan for! If you get a chance, can you send me your favorite easy recipe?"
I have been wanting to post this recipe for some time, but her e-mail motivated me to share it now.
I threw this together one night when I was first married and not feeling well. I was looking for something easy that I could make with what I had on hand and had minimal cleanup because our apartment didn't have a dishwasher. The bonus is that it is a very inexpensive dish to make, so if you are looking for a nutritious meal to help stretch your budget at the end of the month this is it! My little experiment was successful, and it has remained one of our favorites!
Beans and Rice
Serves 3-4 main dish servings. This recipe can easily be multiplied for larger families or if you are having guests. If you have leftovers you freeze it in individual serving containers for when you are too busy or tired to cook.
I strongly recommend canned beans instead of dried beans for this dish. In my opinion, the flavor is much better with the canned beans.
1 can corn (.42 can Wal-Mart)
1 can black beans (.49 can Aldi)
1 can kidney beans (Even though it is more expensive than Aldi or Wal-Mart, I like the Kroger brand best for this as the syrup is thicker .56 can)
long grain white rice (Amount will vary based on your family. Price has been about .66/lb lately)
shredded cheese for topping
salsa (optional)
Open all the cans.
Drain retaining a thick coating of juice on the beans. Do not rinse the corn or beans.
Place corn in pot and turn burner to medium heat.
In a separate pot put water in pot for rice turn on high.
Cook corn for a few minutes, while water for rice is preparing to boil.
Stir corn so it doesn't stick to bottom. You want to place the corn in the pot and start to cook them before the beans or they will be undercooked and crunchy.
Place rice in water once it is boiling. Cook as directed.
Place both cans of beans in with corn and stir.
Continue to stir mixture periodically to avoid having beans stick to bottom of pot. If the mixture is cooked at a temperature too high or not stirred they will burn!
Mixture will become thicker as beans start to become mushy. You can have either moist where basically the beans are just heated or you can have it a bit drier and the beans are mushier.
In general, I use the rice as the timer at my house for when the beans should be cooked.
Turn off rice and bean mixture when cooked.
Layer rice then bean mixture.
Top with shredded cheese.
You may also top with salsa (My husband prefers having this addition.)
I have occasionally used the mixture as a baked potato topping, but I like it better served over rice.
If you have a favorite easy recipe to share with us please leave a comment. If you have a blog you can provide a direct link to the recipe. You can find some other recipes that I have shared here.

Kroger Loss Leaders and Highlights Week of October 26
Prices and scenarios are based on the Metro Atlanta sales circular. Our sales week runs from Sunday-Saturday. To find the ad for your store click here. Manufacturer coupons with a face value of .50 or less double. When items are on sale BOGO you only have to buy one to receive the 50% discount. If the sale is 10 for $10 you can buy just one for $1.
I try to only focus on the best deals each week. For a complete list of sales with coupon matchups from the Sunday coupon inserts visit Coupon Mom's website during the week of the sale.
Kroger is running its .58 sale again. Please don't be fooled into thinking that these are good deals. Often we can get the brand name items for less or the generics are cheaper elsewhere like Wal-Mart or Aldi. If Kroger is your one stop shop you might want to pick up something that you are running low on, but be sure to check first to see if there is another alternative for less. For example, see my post here on how to get Fleischmann's Yeast Strips for .10 instead of spending .58 for the Kroger brand!
The Best of the Loss Leaders:
Head of Lettuce .79
Kroger 18 Ct. Large Eggs $1.98
Boneless Pork Loin $1.99/lb

.25/1 after $1/1 (Home Mailer) I just received several coupons in the mail from VocalPoint to share with friends so be sure to check through your mail if you are registered. If I find none of my friends want these I may leave a coupon on the shelf. (I like finding a good coupon on the shelf for an item that I was going to buy anyway.) This is also a good item to donate as the food banks are preparing for the upcoming Christmas season.

Publix Highlights for the Week of October 22
Please remember that my ad week begins on Wednesday; however, some areas begin on Thursday. Please check your local ad to verify your ad schedule. These sales and prices are in the Metro Atlanta area where manufacturer coupons with a face value of .50 or less are doubled and items that are on sale Buy One Get One Free (BOGO) you only have to buy one to get the item 50% off. Be sure to take full advantage of the sales by pairing them with competitor's coupons including $/$ purchase when applicable. I try to find the best deals to post here, but for a complete match up of this week's sale items with coupons from the newspaper inserts visit Coupon Mom starting on Thursday.
This weeks ad is disappointing to say the least. Most of the sale prices this week are not Publix's lowest prices for stockpiling and the few items that are their lowest price don't have a good coupon to go with them during this sale cycle. However, it often seems that a new twist comes along midweek when the ad doesn't look that terrific. Currently, it looks like a good week for just a quick trip (or a week off) and plan to use some items from the stockpile. Having a slow deal week will give me an opportunity to find out how they reorganized my local store before I have to plan a major shopping trip.
The Best of the Loss Leaders:
Eggs $1.29/dozen
Publix Salad Blend $2.99 BOGO
Tangerines 3 pound bag $2.49
Milk $3.39/gallon
The Best of the Sales With Coupons:
Bic Comfort 3 Razors $4.99 BOGO
.50/1 after $2/1 (9/14 S exp. 10/26 OR 11/12 S)
Tip: This is only a good deal if you don't shop at CVS.
Juicy Juice $3.49 BOGO
.75/1 after $1/1 printable coupon ANY 64 or 46 oz.
.75/1 after $1/1 (9/14 RP) if Harvest Surprise is included
$1.25/1 after .50/2 doubled 8/3 RP
Edy's Ice Cream $5.39 BOGO
$1.69/1 after $1/1 (November All You Magazine)
Don't forget that October 22 is the last day to use the $5/$25 Whole Foods Coupon. Many Publix stores will accept this as a competitor coupon.
While you are here, take a minute to look around and see the other deals I have listed including the current Yellow Advantage Buys Ad. Check back later this week for any new competitor coupons, the new Green Advantage Buys Ad, and any other deals that I may find. Have a great day!

New Kroger Cellfire Coupons - Expire November 17
Cellfire has issued new coupons to load onto your Kroger card. There are even a couple of new FREE items! Hurry, these coupons must be downloaded to your card before November 3; however, once they are downloaded you have until November 17 to use them.

Just a reminder, you do not have to use your cell phone to use the Kroger coupons after you have received the text message to set up your Cellfire account. Loading the coupons online instead of using your cell phone will save on fees.
Ecoupon savings should automatically come off of your order when you use your Kroger card. You will usually see the savings applied after all items have been scanned, but before you use any other coupons.

Try Me Free Rebate Form Found:
I found a Try Mee Free Rebate on the bottles of Arm & Hammer Carpet and Fabric Odor Eliminator. The sale price for these bottles was $2 last week. There is a $1/1 coupon that can be found here. Tip: Using a coupon for mail in rebate items helps to cover the cost of the stamp and any taxes that you may have. Most companies will reimburse you for the full purchase price even if you used a coupon.
Don't Forget $/$ Coupons:
Don't forget to use your 2008 Entertainment Book Kroger coupons if you still have any left. (The 2009 Entertainment Books do not have Kroger coupons.) The October coupon is $5/$25 purchase. There is also a $5/$50 purchase that was good for the entire year that expires on October 31. If you do the majority of your shopping at Publix they will accept these as competitor coupons. See my Publix weekly ad posts here to find some of their best deals.
For more Kroger deals be sure to check out my current posts here. Have a great day!
I try to only focus on the best deals each week. For a complete list of sales with coupon matchups from the Sunday coupon inserts visit Coupon Mom's website during the week of the sale.

Kroger 16 oz cheese $2.99 WOW! I know cheese is expensive, but it has been a while since I have seen it for this price. If you didn't stock up last week, now is the time. It can be frozen in the bag and is great to use for casseroles. Stockpiling cheese is especially helpful if you cook casseroles for multiple meals at once like I do on occasion.

KMart Super Doubles
Particpating KMart locations are offering Super Doubles through Saturday. Some locations are participating even if they are not on the official list. Participating stores will double coupons with a face value of $2 or less. Yes, you read that right a $2 coupon will be doubled to $4! Each person is limited to 75 coupons per day with a maximum of 4 of each coupon. Unfortunately, KMart will not accept printable coupons.
If you play the drugstore games regularly you may not benefit from the sale as much, but there are several deals to be found if you decide to go to KMart. For those of you who don't play the games or don't have double coupons at your grocery store this could be a great opportunity for you.

Harry's/ Whole Foods $5/$25 Purchase Coupon! Possibly Use at Publix Too!
Whole Foods Market has a $5/$25 purchase coupon available. The coupon is valid October 15 - October 22 and can be used once per person per day. You can find the coupon and some of their money saving tips here.
I called my local Harry's which is owned by Whole Foods. Customer Service said Harry's is accepting these coupons as well. I wish I had waited to buy my groceries this week. Oh well, maybe next time.
For those of you who shop at Publix you can use these as a competitor's coupon at many locations. Since the offer is $25 before coupons you will be able to find some great deals this week! This is also a quick and easy way to take $5 off of your purchase if you don't usually use coupons.
Thanks to Common Sense with Money for sharing this coupon offer.

Publix Yellow Advantage Buys Advertisement October 11 - November 7
The Yellow Advantage Buys are additional sales that Publix runs in addition to the weekly ad. These sales run for four weeks. Typically these deals are not as good as the weekly sales, but there is usually at least one or two good deals to be found.
Fall Savings October 11 - November 7:
Sobe Life Water 20 oz. $1
FREE after .50/1 doubled (tearpad)
If you live in FL, GA, NC, SC, TN be sure to save the entire labels from your Sobe bottles for free Sobe items. For more details see the thread here. Post number 5 provides a phone number to obtain the form. I must admit I am disappointed that the promotion for the Southeast did not include the free movie tickets which some areas got.
The following is only a deal if you were planning to buy a deli or bakery item anyway. If you are paying more or buying something that you had not planned to buy then it isn't a deal.
8 Pack Selected Coca-Cola Products 12 oz. bottles
3/$10.00 - I know this is not a deal
$1.33/8 pack after $2 coupon for Deli or Bakery item
Equivalent to paying $1.99 for a 12 pack of 12 oz Cokes. - Which is a good deal.
Note: According to the Rules at MyCokeRewards these packages do not contain points.
Manufacturer's coupons:
There were an above average number of manufuacturer's coupons included in this edition. These coupons say Redeem at Publix because Publix wants to encourage you to use them at their store, but you should be able to use them at any store that accepts manufacturer's coupons. These coupons will not be listed in the Coupon Mom Database or most subscription coupon sales matching services so be sure to add them to your personal database.
$1/1 Gatorade Tiger 8 Pack
.55/2 Hunt's Diced Tomatoes 14.5-28 oz. (if your store doubles the .40/2 coupon (9/21 S) is better as it would be .80/2) Seeing this coupon makes me think that we will not be seeing the BOGO sale I was hoping for.
.55/2 Hunt's Tomato Sauce 15-29 oz.
$1.00/3 Hunt's Tomato Paste 6-12 oz.
$1/2 Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausages
.55/2 Silver Floss Krrrrisp Kraut
$1/1 Ball Park Beef Franks
.75/1 Super Pretzels
Publix Coupon and Rebate:
$1/1 Arm & Hammer Degreaser/Multi surface Cleaner 32 oz or Essentials Cleaner or Multi Refill 2.4 oz - Publix in ad coupon
Try Me Free Rebate for Essentials Cleaners can be found here.
$1/1 manufacturer's coupon can be found here if you are planning to buy it at another store or do not have the Publix coupon. My store will not let me use a Publix coupon and a Manufacturer's coupon together if the Publix coupon states that it may not be used in conjunction with any other coupon. It is my understanding that Publix is refunded by the manufacturer for Publix coupons that have that wording. Not all Publix coupons say that so be sure to check.

Menu Planning by Using the Sales Circluar - Eggplant Casserole Recipe
Eggplant is one of my favorite foods. As promised earlier this week, I'm sharing one of my favorite eggplant recipes. My parents made this when we had fresh eggplant from the garden so it brings back several good childhood memories for me.
This is a very simple recipe that can be used as a side dish or as a main dish if you are vegetarian or have a meatless night in your menu plan. Like most casseroles, it travels well so it is great for a potluck dinner or when taking a meal to one who is ill.
I chose to share this particular dish this week since the ingredients are currently on sale at Publix. I wanted to provide an example of being able to reduce your budget by planning a menu around items that can be found on sale and demonstrate that you don't have to eat junk food in order to save money.
Eggplant Casserole:
Recipe makes 9x13 casserole dish. 6 healthy portions. Leftovers can be frozen for homemade "tv dinners".
Ingredients:
2 Smaller Eggplants- Look for firm eggplant with a shiny peel. $1.29/lb at Publix
2 28 oz Cans Diced Tomatoes - The Muir Glen Organic Tomatoes are on Advantage Buy at Publix for $1.75/28 oz can see scenario here to get these for FREE.
1 package (tube) of crackers - (like Ritz, Town House, etc.) OR
Substitute the crackers for the Progresso Bread Crumbs that are on sale BOGO and have a $1/2 printable coupon.
1 8oz package of shredded cheese - Publix has their brand on sale for $2.00 this week. Not the best deal, but at least it is discounted some.
Directions:
Slice eggplant into 1/3 inch pieces. (Inside of eggplant should be firm and light in color. The seeds will be visible throughout.)
Salt and soak eggplant in water for 30 minutes. This removes the bitter taste often associated with eggplant.
Spray casserole dish with oil (I use canola)
Remove eggplant from water and rinse salt off of eggplant.
Place first layer of eggplant into dish.
Drain tomatoes.
Layer first can of tomatoes on top of eggplant.
Place second layer of eggplant.
Layer second can of tomatoes on top of eggplant.
Crumble crackers into crumbs. Tip: Crumble them in the package to reduce mess.
Sprinkle cracker crumbs (or bread crumbs) over eggplant.
Top with cheese.
Heat oven 350 degrees.
Cover pan with aluminum foil.
Place in oven and cook for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
Cheese should be melted and eggplant should appear dark in color.
Serve over bed of rice (I allow at least 2/3 cup per person, more if serving as main dish.)
For an Easy Meal Serve With These Other Sale Items:
Barber Stuffed Chicken Breasts (2 pieces) $4.99 BOGO
$1.50/1 after $1/1 (9/7 S1) OR $1/1 Printable Coupon
Publix Classic Salad Mix 16 oz. $1.99 BOGO
A complete meal for 6 for just over $2 per person, or skip the chicken and save even more!

Kroger Catalina Promotions
I have two great Catalina offers to share with you. The first is from Sundown Vitamins and the second is from Fleishman's Yeast.
Get Paid To Take Your Vitamins!
In reality it is get paid to take vitamins off of the shelf. These are great items to donate if you don't use them. I know that my regular readers remember the Powerade Deal. This time the promotion comes from Sundown Vitamins.
Buy 2 bottles of Sundown Vitamins that are on sale BOGO this week.
Prices vary depending on the type of vitamin, but the Folic Acid and Vitamin D 400 are less than $3 for two bottles. You can mix and match the types to meet your needs and since Kroger BOGO items ring up 1/2 price there is no need to worry about items being of equal value.
Use one coupon for each bottle and use the appropriate coupon value depending on the price of the bottle.
$1/1 (7/27 S or 10/5 RP) OR $3/1 (9/28 RP)
As you are checking out you will receive a $2.00 coupon off anything during a future shopping order (expires 2 weeks after purchase).
When I did this the Catalina machine also printed a coupon for $2/2 Sundown Vitamins that can be used to repeat the deal.
Example:
Buy:
Folic Acid $1.34/1
Folic Acid $1.34/1
Pay Out of Pocket:
.68/2 after 2 $1/1 coupons or 1 $2/2 coupon
Receive:
$2 coupon for future visit AND
$2/2 coupon to repeat deal
Unrealized Profit (You shouldn't claim the profit until you actually use the Catalina coupon.):
$1.32 - tax (.19 for me)
$1.13
There were no promotional dates listed for this Catalina offer. At HCW it was reported to have ended on October 4, but as of October 9 it was still working. I expect that it will continue working at least through the weekend, but I can't guarantee it.
Fleischmann's Yeast
Just this past weekend I was saying it was cheaper to buy yeast in bulk, but apparently that may not always be the case.
Strip of 3 packets shelf price $1.99
Pay $1.09 after .45/1 doubled (10/5 S1) - This is not a good deal, but you also receive a
.50 Catalina good on any item (not just yeast) in a future visit. Which .60/strip is still not a deal; however, the Catalina is a manufacturer's coupon and since Kroger doubles manufacturer's coupons with a face value of .50 or less the Catalina should double. So after you use the Catalina it is like paying .10/1 strip which is a good deal especially if you do not use yeast on a regular basis.
If you are looking for an even better deal wait until the yeast goes on sale. Since the Catalina offer is not scheduled to expire until December 31, the yeast is likely to go on sale before this offer ends. Even with just a 10 cent discount in the price, the yeast would be FREE after the coupon and Catalina so be sure to periodically check for an unadvertised price reduction.
Like I have said previously, various types of traditional promotions including Catalina offers are where the real deals are often found. Please visit my blog again for information about future promotions as I hope to make this a regular feature. You can find more current Metro Atlanta (Southeast Region) Kroger deals that I have posted here.

Earn CVS ECBs - No Purchase Required!
I just earned $5 ECBs and I didn't have to use a coupon or even buy anything! Recently, I received my first invitation to fill out a survey for the CVS Advisory Panel. The survey took less than 5 minutes for me to fill out and I will get $5 ECBs printed on my receipt at the end of the month. Some surveys credit even higher amounts. I hope that I will be selected again, but it took several months before I got an invitation to participate.
You won't get rich off of it by any means, but it is a nice bonus of CVS ECBs. This is just another easy way to help lower you out of pocket expenses for things that you need!

Dishes with Eggs - Recipes for Ham and Spinach Quiche and Blueberry French Toast Casserole
Since eggs are on sale this week I thought that I would share a couple of my favorite dishes that use eggs. When possible, I try to use ingredients from my stockpile that I have gotten on sale to help reduce cost.
Ham and Spinach Quiche - From my Dad
This recipe makes two (2) 9x13 pans AND one (1) 8x8 pan of quiche or can be cooked in deep dish pie shells. This is great for hospitality or to freeze for homemade frozen dinners (or breakfasts as the case may be). Note that the uncooked mixture can be stored in a covered bowl in the refrigerator overnight to make morning preparation easier.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup flour
1 quart half and half
16 eggs
3/4 lb. ham (I typically use prepackaged deli slices, but freshly cooked or frozen leftover scraps work well too)
2 pounds frozen chopped spinach (thawed)
3/4 bag Kroger frozen chopped onion (thawed)
3/4 bag Kroger frozen chopped bell pepper (thawed)
4 cups shredded cheese (mixed in)
2.5 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4-6 cups shredded cheese (top)
Put flour in bowl.
Slowly pour in 1/2 and 1/2 while stirring to dissolve flour.
Add eggs and mix well.
Chop Ham in to small pieces or dice if using fresh.
Add other ingredients except cheese for the top and stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.
If using casserole dishes spray with cooking spray (I use canola) before placing mixture in pans.
If preparing ahead, keep mixture covered in the bowl in refrigerator, and stir before placing mixture into prepared dishes.
Top with cheese.
Cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes - 1 hour 30 minutes
Quiche is done when cheese is light brown and knife comes out clean when inserted.
Blue Berry French Toast Casserole
Adapted From a Recipe Found on the Internet Several Years Ago - Website Unknown
Makes one 9x13 pan or slightly smaller casserole dish depending on the size of the loaf/loaves of bread. Plan ahead! Must sit overnight in refrigerator for bread to absorb mixture. Can be frozen in individual servings to be reheated for a quick breakfast treat or dessert!
Ingredients:
Loaf of Bakery Bread - Be sure to buy the bread on Manager's Special because you need the bread to be dry so it will absorb the mixture well
8 oz package of cream cheese
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
6 tablespoons of butter, melted
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup syrup
Spray pan with cooking spray.
Break the bread into small pieces. Use half to cover the bottom of the pan.
Place cream cheese on microwave safe plate.
Place powdered sugar on top of cream cheese.
Heat in microwave for 30 seconds.
Mix/mash cream cheese and sugar with fork.
Spread cream cheese mixture on top of bread.
Layer washed blueberries on top of cream cheese.
Sprinkle heavily with cinnamon sugar.
Tear remaining bread and place on top of blueberries.
Mix butter, eggs, milk, and syrup.
Pour mixture over bread.
Use a spatula to press down the bread so that the mixture is well absorbed.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

Kroger Loss Leaders and Highlights Week of October 5
Prices and scenarios are based on the Metro Atlanta sales circular. Manufacturer coupons with a face value of .50 or less double. Our sales week runs from Sunday-Saturday. To find the ad for your store click here.
I try to only focus on the best deals each week. For a complete list of sales with coupon matchups from the Sunday coupon inserts visit Coupon Mom's website next week.
The Best of the Loss Leaders Without Coupons:
Milk - $3.19/gallon (Cheaper than Publix. Will Aldi still have milk at $2.49?)
Eggs - $1.33/dozen (More expensive than Publix.)
Gala Apples $1/lb - Bags of apples may be cheaper per pound so be sure to look if you plan to buy any kind of quantity
Bartlett Pears $1/lb
Tangerines 3 pound bag $2.50 - Typically anything less than $1/lb for tangerines is a very good deal.
Gwaltney Brown Sugar Bacon BOGO - no price listed
Think this should make it about $2 for a 1 lb package
Carolina Pride Full Line Sale BOGO - no prices listed
Unfortunately, there are no coupons currently to match up with these this time. However, if you use these now is the time to buy.
Tyson Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts BOGO - no price listed
If I recall correctly their normal price is somewhere between $4.50 and $5.00/lb. However, the BOGO price is definitely higher than the normal $1.99/lb sale price.
Note: The BOGO price may be indicative of a increase in the sale price in the future. Kroger tends to put meat on sale BOGO instead of their typical $1.99/lb sale price before they increase the sale price. Probably at a minimum we will see the $1.99/lb sale price less often.
The Best of the Sales with Coupons:
Grands Biscuts $1/1

.50/2 Printable coupon here AND here.
Current .30/2 Cellfire coupon expires Monday. Be sure check if there is a new one available if you go later in the week.

Publix Highlights for the Week of October 1
Please remember that my ad week begins on Wednesday; however, some areas begin on Thursday. Please check your local ad to verify your ad schedule. These sales and prices are in the Metro Atlanta area where manufacturer coupons with a face value of .50 or less are doubled. For items that are on sale Buy One Get One Free (BOGO) you only have to buy one to get the item 50% off. Be sure to take full advantage of the sales by pairing them with competitor's coupons including $/$ purchase when applicable. I try to find the best deals to post here, but for a complete match up of this week's sale items with coupons from the inserts visit Coupon Mom starting on Thursday.
This week's ad is not nearly as spectacular for couponers as last week's; however, there are a few great loss leaders that are even better if your store accepts the Food Lion (FLIP) and Target Printable Coupons.
