Super Savings Saturday – 3/14/15

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week was all about the drinks. Thanks to my sister sending me tons of extra coupons, I was able to find many freebies and cheapies. Normally, I only have 2 or 3 duplicate coupons, so it was a real treat. (I mainly use printables and buy 1 or 2 copies of the Boston Globe, which is a whopping $4.00.)

I shopped at Shaw’s, CVS, and Rite Aid, cherry picking the best deals for maximum savings.

Shaw’s:

There was a mega sale that offered 6 items for $1.88 each.

4 Silk almond milks, mega sale price $1.88. I used 4 $0.75 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: $0.38 each!  (Regular price is $3.49, so it was a huge savings.)

2 Minute Maid orange juices, mega sale price $1.88. I used 2 $0.75 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: $0.38 each!

7 Fuji waters, on sale $1.00. I used 7 $0.50 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: Free!  (I consistently bring water with me whenever I’m out, which saves a trip to a drive-thru or overpriced convenience store.)

CVS:

I’ve been holding on to electric toothbrush rain checks for over a month. Luckily, the store restocked one the day before my coupons expired.

Arm & Hammer Spinbrush, rain check price $5.99. I used a $2.00 Manufacturer’s coupon, plus $2.00 ECB. Total: $1.99, plus a $4.00 ECB.

Rite Aid:

I’ve heard rumors that Rite Aid is discontinuing their UP Reward program. I really hope it’s not true. Without bonus bucks, drugstores aren’t worth shopping at! In the meantime, I’m stocking up on every good deal I can find, just in case.

2 Irish Spring body washes, on sale $3.00. I used 2 $2.00 Manufacturer’s coupons and $2.00 UP Reward. Total: Free, plus another $2.00 UP Reward!

Lypsyl lip care, on sale $1.00. I used a $1.00 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: Free!  (I had 6 more coupons, but my store was severely under stocked. I did get rain checks for the future.)

 

Did you use any coupons this week?

Mediterranean Roasted Veggies

In an effort to use up my clearance peppers, I made Mediterranean Roasted Veggies for last night’s dinner. This is a very accommodating recipe that allows you to use up whatever veggies are on hand (every time I make it, the ingredient list varies, yet it’s always tasty). I like it best with at least 3 different kinds of produce and definitely the more the merrier.

To make Mediterranean Roasted Veggies, you’ll need:

*  4 Cups assorted veggies  (I used eggplant, tons of peppers, cherry tomatoes, and onions. Zucchini and olives also work well. )
*   2 Cloves garlic
*   2 Tbs. olive oil
*   Juice of 2 lemons
*   1/2 Tsp. basil
*   1/2 Tsp. oregano
*   Salt/pepper

Evenly dice the veggies. I always start with the eggplant, because it needs to be salted (salting pulls out any bitterness. You can skip this step to save time, but I don’t recommend it). Put the chopped eggplant into a colander. Cover completely with a generous amount of salt. Let it hang out in the kitchen sink for 30 mins. Rinse off the salt, then combine the eggplant with the other ingredients in a 9×13 Pyrex.

Roast in a 400 degree oven for about an hour, stirring halfway through the cooking time. It makes a great side dish, or can be a complete meal with pasta. Vegetarian food doesn’t have to bland and boring, provided the food has spice, color, and good texture.

Outrageous Cookies

Have you ever tasted a cookie so delicious it’s outrageous? This recipe certainly fits the bill. It came my way courtesy of a friend’s aunt who’s been baking for over 50 years. Full of decadent ingredients like chocolate chips, peanut butter, and two kinds of sugar, they’re not health food, but would make a terrific holiday or special occasion treat.

To make Outrageous Cookies, you will need:

*  1 Cup butter, softened
*  1/3 Cup peanut butter
*  3/4 Cup brown sugar
*  3/4 cup granulated sugar
*  2 Large eggs
*  1 Tsp. vanilla
*  2 1/2 Cups flour
*  1 Tsp. baking soda
*  1/2 Tsp. salt
*  Package of chocolate chips, 12 oz.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the first six ingredients. Mix together the next three ingredients, then add to the creamed ingredients. Fully combine and stir in the chocolate chips. Roll into balls (1 1/2-in or so). Place on greased cookie sheets and bake for approximately 10 minutes.

Outrageous Cookies can be frozen if you have leftovers, and I find they make insanely good bases for homemade ice cream sandwiches.
