Fricks 11/2-11/8

Frick's is having their Anniversary Sale, and it's actually pretty good!  I think most of my grocery budget this week will be spent at Frick's stocking up my freezer for winter.  Not many coupons to mention, but that's okay.  Remember if there is a printable coupon you'd like to use on an item, you have to take the ad to Walmart for a price match because Frick's no longer honors printables.  Their full ad is here.

They are also selling $.50 hot dog and soda meals on Thursday and Friday from 10AM-6PM, and an Oreo cake on Friday after 11AM.  

Hunter hot dogs $.50/package - $1/2 Q (9/25 Post-Dispatch, end of Section 1) = FREE
Ground beef $1.89/lb.
BC frozen veggies $.69
BC shredded cheese $1.69
BC Premium ice cream $1.69
Coffee Mate liquid creamer $1.99 - $.50 Q (10/30 SS) = $1.49

Fricks 10/26-10/31

Here are the deals from the new Frick's ad.  Remember, Fricks no longer accepts internet coupons.  So, if you have internet coupon for one of their sales, take the ad to Walmart to get a price match and use the coupon there.  Also, I'm starting something new!  Some items are okay deals if you need a particular item, but not the best I've seen.  Next to some items I will put in italicized parentheses the lowest price I've seen on that item lately, at any store. Also BC indicates a Best Choice product

 Coupons in the mail!  I received a bunch of coupons from Target in the mail yesterday all of which can be combined with manufacturer's coupons.  PLUS, a coupon for FREE Kraft mac and cheese shapes product.  The Washington store was out of the Halloween shapes, but they still have Phineas & Ferb and Spongebob.  And it's FREE!  Also, there's a Downy coupon in there, it's on sale, and there are tons of coupons in the P&G insert from this month.  I got a 60 load free and clear liquid Downy for $2.50.  :)   Some of the other deals aren't as spectacular, but still a worth looking for in your mail.

Schnucks had some unexpected sales this week.  The Gorton's fish sale includes popcorn shrimp, yum!  Fleischmann's yeast is on sale and with $.40 Q doubled, it's only $.69 for a three-packet strip.

Don't forget about Loaves and Fishes Market across from Schnucks.  It's an Amish/Gluten-free grocery store with a very good selection.  I buy my whole wheat flour there because it is almost always cheaper than at other stores.  I got a 5-lb. bag today for $3.  I also bought 16 oz. wagon wheel pasta for my daughter for $1.87, and 1/2 lb. natural cocoa powder for $2.  I didn't need cornstarch, but they had 1/2 lb. containers on sale for $.81.  It's a good place to buy gifts too, because they have soup mixes, specialty teas and coffee, and all kinds of homemade preserves.  And the prices are very reasonable.  So check it out if you haven't already!

25 cent napkins at Finks!

I went to Fink's yesterday and found some great craft items for Christmas gifts in their dollar section AND and birthday candle for my little girl.  :)

Also, found that they have Bounty 50ct. napkins on sale 2/$1 near the bananas.  Combine with $0.25 coupon from 10/2 P&G and you get even cheaper napkins!  Schnucks usually carries these same napkins for $1 each, so even with the double coupons, you are saving if you can make it out to Fink's!

They have pumpkins and apples on sale also (cheapest in Union), but they are cheaper at Aldi if you make it out to Washington by tomorrow.

Honey Rosemary Chicken

Thanks, http://www.recipe.com/, for the base of this recipe!  I tweaked it a little based on what I had in my house.  This is what I did:

4 chicken thighs
3 russet potatoes, quartered
1 onion, sliced thickly
2 celery stalks, cut into one inch pieces
4 cloves of garlic, minced

Sauce:
1/4 c. honey
2 Tbsp. Sprite
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. dried rosemary (rub it in your palms before adding to release oils)
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Brown chicken thighs in olive oil, about 4 minutes on each side on medium-high heat.  While they are cooking, chop veggies.  Spray Crockpot with oil and then throw in the veggies and spread them out on the bottom.   Make the sauce by combining the ingredients.  Layer the chicken on top of the veggies and pour the sauce on top.  Cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high.

Serves: 4
Total cost: around $3

I'm going to serve it with broccoli.  I've never made this before, but it sounded yummy.  I'll let you know how it turns out!

***Since I apparently can't post comments on my own blog (need to figure out how to do this), I will just update.  This was delicious!  I will add more salt next time though and add more chicken because we devoured this meal! :)
