Not a bad week at Genuardi’s…and by the way - I think I’m loving these “limitless coupons” they had last week and this week!  Will I make a special trip for the ability to get one package of 93% lean ground turkey at a great price?  Most likely not….but being able to pick up 5 packages?  I’m all over that!

Oh - and the “Great Meat Sale”?  It’s a great meat sale!

And just a helpful hint….the bars that I have tasted were just “ok” .  But crumble them up and put them over low-fat vanilla yogurt?  YUM!

So as you may have heard, I have an obscene amount of Bisquick now.  Fifteen boxes, to be exact.  And while my kids eat pancakes or waffles 4 out of 7 days per week (I make a triple-batch on Saturday or Sunday and freeze the rest), I was looking for some recipes that, not only would my family of picky/boring eaters like, but would also fit in with my Weight Watchers diet.

Salsa Chicken Fiesta

4 Points per serving

I made this last night and everyone loved it! (photo courtesy of Betty Crocker, since I forgot to take a picture)

Serves 6

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup Bisquick Heart Smart mix
• 2 Tbs water
• 1/4 cup fat free egg substitute, or 2 egg whites
• 1 1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese (we actually used Cheddar-Jack)
• 3 (about 1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in to 1/2″ cubes
• 1 1/4 cup salsa

Directions: 

1.  Heat oven to 400.  Spray an 8″ or 9″ pan with non-stick spray.  Combine Bisquick, egg substitute/whites and water and spoon/spread in to pan.  Top with 1 1/4 cups of the cheese

2.  In a non-stick skillet sprayed with non-stick spray and over medium-heat, saute the chicken until the outside turns white (do NOT cook completely).  Stir in salsa and heat until hot.

3.  Spoon chicken/salsa mixture over batter/cheese, leaving 1/2″ room on all sides

4.  Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until the edges are dark golden brown.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese and put back in oven for 1-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Serve with lettuce, diced tomatoes and fat-free sour cream, if desired (don’t forget to add the Points for the Sour Cream).

Cost?  The Bisquick was pretty much free (I ended up paying pennies per box), chicken was about $1 (I never pay more than $2/lb), the egg whites cost about $.25, the cheese was about $1.50 and the salsa I probably paid $1 for (based on what I usually pay).

Total for recipe:  $3.75

Price per serving:  $.62

Other Recipes I will be trying

Lemon-Apricot Chicken (5 points, but by substituting sugar-free preserves, it can become 4 Points)

Monte Cristo Delights (7 Points )

Blueberry-Banana-Oat Bread (3 Points)

Santa Fe Foldover (6 Points)

I thought about creating a whole new post for each of these, but then I thought…”I’ve already done the work? Why retype them?”

So here are a few of my favorite past posts:

These are all aimed at Beginner Couponers and I hope you will find them helpful!!  Of course, please feel free to ask me ANY questions!

For those of you who love AC Moore, here’s a 50% off coupon for you!

Not a big crafter?  Check out the toy aisle….my children love K’Nex and the only place I have ever bought them is at AC Moore  with a 50% off coupon…blows Target and WalMart prices away! They also have a large selection of Thomas the Train, puzzles, etc!

And just as an FYI - did you know that you can use coupons at Michaels, JoAnn’s and AC Moore interchangeably?  Yes - that’s right!  You can walk in to a Michaels with an AC Moore or JoAnn’s coupon, and as long as there is a store within your general area, they will take it! (example:  the closet Michaels to me is 20 minutes away, but I can use their coupons at the AC Moore that is only a mile away.  However, the closest Hobby Lobby is Ohio, so they wouldn’t take that coupon at my local store)

Those of you who read my grocery posts know how frequently I mention “All You” magazine when I do coupon matchups.  Some of you may have been wondering what the heck I’m talking about!

All You is a magazine put out by Walmart….and while I have issues with Walmart, this magazine is consistently the best one for coupons every month!

The cover price is about $2.50 at the stores and frankly, is worth every penny!   But we like things cheaper, don’t we?

If you are interested in subscribing, I think I’ve found the cheapest place on the Internets.  You can get 18 issues for only $24.  Almost every other place that I checked was $24 for only 12 months!  It is also where I got my subscription (although the current price is not nearly as good a deal as it was, but it is still about 33% cheaper than subscribing at the All You website or even the subscription cards they put in the magazine itself!).  You know how your nieces and nephews are always sending you requests for magazine subscriptions as part of their school fundraiser?  This is one of those sites!

Here’s how to get it:

Click here

When asked for the School/Organization #, click on the “Organization Finder” link.  A new window will open up

Go ahead and see if any of your local schools are listed.  If not, click on “RD Partners for Sight Foundation” link.  That window will close.

Click on Shop Now

In the next window, use the Search Bar to search for All You

It should come up! (if it doesn’t the first time, use the drop-down menu to confine your search to magazines and run the search again)

As I said, this is the same place where I got my subscription, and it did take the full 12 weeks for my issues to start coming. 

Believe me - you’ll be happy you subscribed!

I usually only post the Restaurant.com deals when they are offering the $25 for $2, but with the addition of the $10 bonus gift certificate, this makes this deal worth it!

Simply click here and use the code:  DEAL at checkout to get your $25 Gift Certificate AND an additional $10 Gift Certificate!

(Note:  just buy your $25 gift certificate…do NOT pick out your $10!  After you have completed checkout they will email you a code that you can use to get your free $10 certificate!)

Offer good through 1/12/09

Please note:  different restaurants have different restrictions.  Some may limit you to weekday dining, some may requre a minimum purchase.  Please read the requirements before purchasing!

(oh - and a note to my super-local readers…a certain local favorite Italian restaurant and Mexican restaurant have been re-stocked as well.  And this time I got MY certificates before you people bought them all!)

If there is one thing that the naysayers are correct about, it’s that there are very few coupons out there for organic foods!

Mambo Sprouts (which can also be found at Whole Foods markets) has finally put printable coupons on their site!

Click here to start printing!

And don’t forget to look around the site (or just click here) and sign up for the home mailer of coupons as well!

Thanks to regular commenter Stacey for pointing out this deal!

As part of the Get $15 when you buy $30 deal at Acme this week, Pampers are included at $10 per package.  While this isnt the greatest of prices and the only coupons available were the $1 from the 12/14 P&G, the deal is in the Catalinas….there are 2 separate ones working for this deal.

In a single transaction, buy 3 of the $10 Jumbo packs.   Not only will you get $15 in Catalinas, you will get an additional $5 Catalina (good for any baby product) as part of the Start Healthy Stay Healthy Baby Deal (Get $5 wyb $25)

Two notes: 

I don’t know if this is a glitch or simply an unadvertised participating product, but it was working this morning.  The ad shows that it is the Club Pack that is included in the Start Healthy, Stay Healthy deal, not the Jumbo.

While you are not supposed to roll the Catalinas on P&G Products in this deal (and I have heard that a few people have not been receiving the next set of Catalinas when they try), you CAN use the $5 Start Healthy Catalina to do a second deal.  I didn’t want to risk not getting a 2nd set of Catalinas, so here is what I did this morning:

Transaction #1

• 3 Jumbo Packs Pampers:  $30
• Less $1 coupon (I can’t believe I only has 1!)
• Paid:  $29
• Received $15 + $5  in Catalinas

Transaction 2

• 3 Jumbo Packs :  $30
• Used $5 Start healthy Catalina from transaction 1
• Paid $25
• Received $15 + $5 in Catalina

So yes, I did pull $54 cash out of my wallet (which was hard for me to do), but in exchange for that I have 6 packs of diapers and have $35 in Catalinas that I can use for grocery shopping! 

My net cost for 6 packs of Pampers was $19 OOP.  Considering that is a 6-week supply and my weekly diaper budget is $7, it’s a pretty good deal!

AND, I also now have $50 in product receipts to send away for the $120 in coupons wyb $50 P&G products (inside front cover of the 12/14 P&G).  Speculation is that this is why they say you can’t roll the Catalinas on P&G products….they want you to spend the money OOP in order to qualify for the mail-in deal!
