I admit it. I am a child of the 80's. I rock to all the old 80's songs when I hear them on the radio. So when I saw this deal I got excited! For $2.99 you can download U2: The Best of 1980-1990 from Amazon.com. Here's a list of all the songs that you get:
Since I still had an envelope left of under a $1 coupons left from my Harris Teeter trip, I decided to stop by the Kroger that was tripling their coupons in response to H.T.'s sale. It's a little harder to plan for Kroger's impromptu sale because it is local and not too many people online report on it. I was still able to save 79% and finally reached my $80 goal for the month (if you count the FSA reimbursement which I do!). So no more shopping till Monday! I think I can make it...
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Place large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the meat to the pan and cook until golden brown, 5-6 minutes.
Add the onion and chili powder to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the onion is tender, 4-5 minutes.
Add the mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and beef stock to the pot, bring up to a bubble and simmer until thickened, 4-5 minutes. Let cool.
Dust your hands and lightly coat the pizza dough with flour or cornmeal before rolling it out onto a work surface. Roll out the dough slightly so it's approximately 11x16".
Top the dough with the cooled meat mixture and top that with the cheese. Leave a one-inch border on each side. Fold all the borders in and over onto an inch of the meat mixture. Roll the dough up into a log shape forming a spiral in the middle.
Brush the roll with egg wash and sprinkle it with sesame seeds. Transfer the roll to a baking sheet and bake until dough is evenly golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly.
To serve, slice up the cheeseburger bread and serve with a side of ketchup for dipping.
Since Harris Teeter appears to be doing so well with their triple coupon week, our local Krogers near the Harris Teeter stores will also triple coupons up to .99 with a 20 coupon limit. Check out Ms. Cheap for the list of local Kroger stores. Competition rocks! The last time Kroger had triples, Kroger paid me.
I generally don't like to complain, but yesterday I went to the mall. For my twenty minutes between work and first child pick-up, I thought I would stop by Dillard's (Cool Springs) and see if they had any dress shirts for my husband on sale. It's after the winter season and by now there should be a good discount. I've done this for many years and can usually find a decent sale. Of course I have not stepped into this store in over a year. I found the sale. At first glance it looked good - 70% off. Then I looked at the price tag. It was $26. That's 70% off? Two years ago, I would pay that for full price for the exact same shirt! And this was all over the men's section. I moved on to the home section.
I love triples week! It's a little more complicated to navigate Harris Teeter's coupon rules, but frequently worth it in the end. Generally, you can only get certain things free at a one store and other things free at another. So if you shop around, you can build up a variety of things in your stockpile.
Harris Teeter will have triple coupon week 5/27 though 6/2. Check out Hot Coupon World for a list of sale items and coupon match-ups. Harris Teeter is becoming increasingly particular to how they accept coupons so be sure to follow their rules carefully. Here is their coupon policy. You can only use 20 coupons per day per household during triple coupon week.
There are some weeks that you feel like trying something new every day. This is not one of them! It's the last full week of school and there is just too much going on.
Often I will post local information to have something easy to refer back to when I am looking for a particular bit of information. This is one that I will probably return to frequently over the summer. Ms. Cheap, our local money saving columnist, has created a listing of cheap and fun activities to do over the summer. Here are links to her columns:
There are no inserts in tomorrow's paper so relax and enjoy your holiday weekend! It's a good time to get caught up on your coupon clipping!
This coupon is good at Denny's for $5 off of a $15 purchase. It expires on 5/31.

I stopped by Harris Teeter on my way home today to see if their yogurt prices were still the same as last week (they were) and if they still had a lot of coupon pamphlets attached to the yogurt shelf (they did). These are available at both the local Harris Teeter Stores. As I did not have much time, I grabbed six Dannon All Natural Yogurts and three pamphlets and quickly tore out the coupons. I took them to the self check out, rang them up and handed the three coupons to the cashier in charge of the self checkout. I ended up paying .17 out of pocket. I will never get tired of an easy, fantastic deal!

Go here to print your coupon for $5 off a $25 purchase at Walgreens which is good for Wednesday and Thursday only! Your total must be $25 after all coupons and discounts. It's a great time to take advantage of the register rewards deals.
I started this month off with $80. It has been surprisingly easier than I thought it would be to stay on target. I still shop, but aim for the free or nearly free items. I do have a few purchases to add. My husband could not take the lack of good coffee creamer so he stocked up (among other purchases). However, I did hand him coupons as he was leaving!
Publix: 34.34 (husband purchased but he saved 24%)
Kroger: 7.61 (to take advantage of the 7 Electrasol coupons I had left and Milk at $1.99 – saved 82%)
CVS: 1.54 (saved 98% off of $90.60 – too busy with visitors to blog on it)
Walgreens: 3.74 (flipped RRs –spent 5 and got back 8 on Vitamins)
FSA Reimbursable: -$15.87 (already submitted so will be returned in five days)
I had to go to the bank today at lunch and Harris Teeter is just a block away so I stopped in to get some items. It turns out that H.T. has some new rules on coupons (Hillsboro Village location). You can only use two internet coupons for one type product at a time or three manufacturer coupons (I knew the last one but the first is different). According to the manager, you can only use coupons on the first two items in a buy 2 get 3 free (I really don't think this is the case but it was for today). Regardless, it was a great trip! I actually made money.
Monday: Spaghetti and Meatballs
The first 100,000 people to register will get a coupon mailed to them for a free flatbread melt. Click here to get it! Hurry because they will go fast.
If you still have a few cans of biscuits left over from the great Pillsbury sale at Kroger a few weeks ago, here is a yummy and different recipe to try:
As usual I have expiring ECBs that I have to either spend or roll over. I also have company coming this weekend so I thought I would take advantage of their cheap Coke 12 packs.Published: May 14, 2009
"Pfizer Inc. says it will provide 70 of its most widely prescribed prescription drugs -- including Lipitor and Viagra -- for free to people who have lost their jobs and health insurance.
The world's biggest drugmaker said Thursday it will give away the medicines for up to a year to Americans who lost jobs since Jan. 1 and have been on the Pfizer drug for three months or more.
The announcement comes amid massive job losses caused by the recession and a campaign in Washington to rein in health care costs and extend coverage. The move could earn Pfizer some goodwill in that debate after long being a target of critics of drug industry prices and sales practices.
The program also likely will help keep those patients loyal to Pfizer brands."
