Cream of Anything Soup
BIG STRETCHER!
To make a mix
2 cups powdered milk ($.75)
1 cup cornstarch ($.50)
3 Tbsp chicken boullion ($1)
2 Tbsp onion flakes ($.10) - then grind if desired
1 Tbsp celery seed ($.10) (or 1/4 tsp ground)
Store in an airtight container. (I just stick it all in a Gallon Ziploc Bag and mix with it zipped).
TOTAL COST: $2.45 for 9+ servings below or <$.27 per "can" - beat that!
To use mix:
1/3 cup mix
1 1/4 cup water
1 Tbsp Margarine (I ALWAYS use Olive Oil)
Stir and cook until it comes to a boil, about 3 minutes (I've never had it boil in 3 minutes, closer to 10, but I always triple it at least).
Can be used for any recipe calling for a can of cream soup. May add chicken, broccoli, cheese, mushrooms, celery, or ANYTHING!

Apple Crumb Bars
2 cups Oats ($.40)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour ($.15)
1 cup packed brown sugar ($.20)
1/2 cup applesauce (free)
1/4 cup butter, melted ($.25)
1 tsp ground cinnamon ($.01)
1/2 tsp baking soda ($.01)
1/2 tsp salt, optional ($.01)
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg ($.01)
1 cup applesauce (free, but up to $1)
1/2 cup chopped nuts ($.50)
Prehead over to 350 degrees F. In large bowl, combine all ingredients except 1 cup applesauce (the 1/2 cup applesauce is a substitue for part of the butter and works fine and needs to be added now) and nuts; mix until crumbly. Reserve 1 cup oats mixture. Press remaining ingredients into bottom of greased 13x9 metal baking pan (I used glass and was fine). Bake 13-15 minutes; cool. Spread applesauce over partially baked crust. Sprinkle reserved 1 cup oats mixture over top; sprinkle with nuts. Bake 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack; cut into 2-inch squares.
Makes about 2 dozen bars.
TOTAL COST: $1.54 - $2.54
*I like these chilled/frozen because they are a little soggy with the applesauce at room temperature.
DID YOU SEE THE STRETCHER??? I use applesauce all the time in place of part or all of oil or butter. It is cheap because I can usually get apples for free and can the applesauce myself and it lowers the fat content by far and adds a yummy taste. Any questions?

Taco Soup
Cook together then drain the following:
1 lb hamburger (or beans) ($.50)
1 small onion, chopped ($.50)
Add:
2 1/2 cups mild salsa (even Mango Salsa is good - I just tried it!) (free, but can be $1.50)
1 large can tomatoes (free, but can be $1)
1 (15 oz) can kidney beans (undrained) ($.50)
1 can niblets corn (undrained) (free, but can be $.50)
1/2 tsp chili powder ($.01)
1/2 tsp garlic salt ($.01)
1 TBSP taco seasoning ($.10)
Mix all together and heat through.
Serve with grated cheddar cheese sprinkled on top, sour cream, and corn chips (sliced olives, optional)
MEATLESS VERSION:
I substitute beans for the hamburger - I've used black, kidney, pinto, garbanzo, and many white beans - they are all great. Cook it with the onion and then add the rest (including more beans - the more the merrier)
**Another substitution: I ran out of canned corn but have an ample supply of zucchini and squash, so I just added some chopped yellow squash and nobody complained at all, especially when they could douse all the food in cheese and sour cream.
TOTAL COST: $1.62 8/31/10, but up to $4.62 or even $6 with meat

Happy Rite Aid/Diaper Purchase
I went to Rite Aid last week to use my last free coupon for diapers from my "raid" a couple of months ago when Rite Aid had the buy 5 packages of Huggies and get a 6th package free. We have used all those diapers and were in need of new ones. I was nervous because diapers were not on a very good sale, but I did have $15 in gift cards from another rebate purchase. Here's how it went down.
Transaction #1
Pampers Baby Dry Diapers (box size - 96 diapers) - Priced at $19.99
Pampers 3 pack of wipes for $5.99
Used
$5/$25 purchase RITE AID VV Q
$2 off Q wyb both Pampers Diapers and wipes
$15 Gift Cards
Total before Q = $27.80
Total OOP = $5.07 and $2 +UP Wellness
Transaction #2
1 Huggies Snug & Dry Jumbo Size (36 count) $11.99
1 Huggies Pure & Natural Jumbo Size (26 count) $11.99
2 Glue Sticks (discounted at $.29 each, but rang up at $.99 with 10% discount $.89) - not happy, but will survive
2 Oral B Toothbrushes on Clearance so 50% off (hope to use on Oral Care Rebate still) $1.49 each (from $3.00 each)
Used
$5/$25 purchase RA VV Q
10% off regular priced items from previous purchase (Tx #1)
$2 +UP from previous purchase (Tx #1)
1 FREE Huggies coupon from previous rebate
1 $2.50 Huggies Pure & Natural Diapers
1 B1G1 free coupon for Oral B toothbrushes
Total before Q = $30.97
Total OOP = $2.48 (and should have been about $1.25 if glue sticks were priced right
So the total is:
Before deals = $58.76, After deals = $7.55
Saved $51.21 or 87% savings
Average of $.94 per item and now have
168 diapers & 3 packs of wipes (a month's supply and some other items for less than $8)!!!
Yee-haw! I like it when it works that way.
(don't notice that I won't be detailing out my Costco run directly afterwards. I did save, but nothing like this :)

Zucchini Pizza Snack
Another pizza variation that is so yummy (and uses up extra garden zucchini)
*To save time & money later, I usually double this recipe and freeze a few for later, then I'll be more likely to use this instead of something else and only have to invest the time 1 out of every 3-4 times*
1 Tbsp yeast ($.05)
1 1/2 cups warm water
3 cups flour ($.15)
2 Tbsp vegetable oil ($.10)
1 tsp salt ($.01)
2 Tbsp olive oil ($.20)
1/8-1/4 tsp garlic powder ($.01)
1 zucchini, thinly sliced (FREE)
Parmesan Cheese ($.20)
Roast sliced zucchini in 425 degrees F oven for 10 minutes while making dough.
Mix yeast with flour and salt in Bosch. Add water and oil. Mix 8 minutes with the dough hook.
Roll half into desired pizza shape and place on baking sheet or pizza pan. Brush with olive oil (I mixed in garlic powder and then used a pastry brush). Then top with roasted zucchinis all over the pizza and a little (just a taste, don't overcover) parmesan cheese. Bake about 15 minutes at 425 degrees F or until slightly browned. Bring it out, slice it up, and serve! YUMMY!
Total Cost = $0.70

Homemade Stuffed Pizza
I'm still learning to take pictures - I wish I had cut a piece because this kind of looks gross, but it was yummy!
I've tried forever to make homemade pizza, but it is always runny and hard to pick up. Today we found the solution - make it stuffed! I made the bottom of the pizza, put on tomato sauce, oregano, pineapple tidbits and ham and cheese, then I rolled out the other half of the dough, put it over the top, rolled the edges together and brushed it all with egg whites and popped it in the oven and it was delicious with the perfect consistency. I think it will be a new family favorite.
Here's the dough recipe
(From Sandra G.)
1 Tbsp yeast ($.10)
1 1/2 cups warm water
3 cups flour ($.25)
2 Tbsp vegetable oil ($.25)
1 tsp salt
Mix yeast with flour and salt in Bosch. Add water and oil. Mix 8 minutes with the dough hook.
Roll half into desired pizza shape, brush with tomato sauce (about 4-6 oz.) ($.50) , sprinkle with oregano or Italian seasoning. Put on desired toppings ($1-$2) with cheese ($1-2) last.
Then roll out 2nd half into same shape and place on top. Roll edges together. Can brush with 1 egg white, if desired for shiny look.
Bake at 375 - 400 degrees F for 20+ minutes. Makes 1 stuffed pizza or 2 pizza crusts.
Total Cost: VARIES Pizza Crust $.60 (tops)
Pizza ($1.50 - 4.50) (and that's a stuffed pizza - can't find for under $5 at a restaurant!)

Zucchini Boats
Anything that is called a "boat" can disguise the taste to a 3-year-old - so mine loved this meal and got the other kids excited about EATING THEIR BOAT! :) Love it.
2-3 medium-sized zucchini (home-grown = free)
2 tomatoes (home-grown = free)
6 eggs ($.50)
1/4- 1/2 cup milk ($.10)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Cheese for top ($.30)
Cut off ends of zucchini, then slice in half lengthwise. Clean out the inside of the zucchini (but keep enough so the "boat" doesn't fall apart), keep the insides in a separate bowl. Cut zucchini's into about 4-6 inch sections, then place face down in a greased fry pan and fill with 1/4 inch water and cook to soften while preparing inside of "boat" about 5-10 minutes - careful not to burn.
Dice the zucchini innards. Dice the tomatoes. Remove the boats from heat and cook the zucchini & tomatoes. Cook about 5 minutes. Beat eggs and milk together, then add to the zucchini mixture. Add salt and pepper. Cook until eggs are scrambled. Then scoop into boats. Top with a slice of cheese and warm boats in pan again until cheese is melted. Then serve and enjoy.
Serves: Depends on # of zucchini and how big they are.
Total Cost = $0.90

Ahh! A Clean Car (FREE WASH)
Anyone interested in a free car wash? Well . . . Star Wash is just opening for business and is giving away free car washes until August 1st. It is beautiful. The kids loved watching the soaping, brushes, etc. as our car cruised through the wash, then we vacuumed out the car (perfect after a long vacation and car ride last week) and we are thrilled with a clean car. Here's the deets:
'Green' car wash opens in South Jordan, is offering free washes
Go and enjoy it - I did!

Getting Organized
Here's my latest update. I have just found a great site where you can get a coupon database of all the magazine, catalina, newspaper, etc. coupons. It is called Grocery Coupons: A Full Cup - it's free, but you do have to register. I am hoping this helps me with using more of my newspaper coupons and not having to spend so much time on my slow computer with my poor, old, finicky printer with the printables - they can be a supplement, not a major source.
I have also just completely updated my savings excel form from the time I started my couponing in earnest (the middle of April). Here's the breakdown from April - present.
Total OOP (all stores including Home Depot, Lowes, Dollar Tree, D.I., Target, WinCo, Wal-Mart, Maceys, Smiths, Fresh Market, etc.): $1,879.63
Total Saved: $706.99
% Saved: 26%
Average Spent per Week:$171.94
Average Saved per Week: $75.59 or 30.5%
I have made a lot of mistakes, did not always record my savings, etc. so I am hoping that my percentage improves in this next quarter, but just wanted to take a moment to finalize my reckoning instead of all the back-logging I've been doing lately. But, hurrah! It is making a difference, my cupboards are stocking up nicely, but my pocketbook is nearly the same minus a few slip-ups from time to time.
GOAL FOR 3rd QUARTER:
Weekly Overall Spending: $100
Weekly Savings Goal: 45%

Weekly Savings
Happy 3rd/4th of July all! I had to buy some fruit for a party and knew there were no coupons for this, so instead I searched for the least expensive Strawberries - once I discovered Wal-Mart was my best shopping source, I looked for all the "freebies" with coupons I could get to make this shopping experience a little more fun. It was so fun that I have kept out my receipt to say good job to myself several times over the last day. Here's the breakdown:
4 lbs strawberries (97 cents each - the website told me 78 cents, but oh well, we know Wal-Mart prices can differ!)
3 Cantaloupe 98 cents each
7 ears corn at 15 cents each (should have waited for Winco and their 10 cent deal)
YoPlus (listed at $1.68, but rang up at $2 - less $1 off coupon = $1)
GoGurts (not the best price, not the worst price - $2.25 each with 80 cents off 2) = $1.85 each
Bananas at 49 cents each
3 Dentyne Gum at 96 cents each less $1 off coupons x3 = free plus $.09 overage overall
2 Benadryl Itch Relief Stick $2.28 - less $5 off 2 coupon = free plus $0.44 overage
Noxema Razor $2.97 less $2 off coupon = $0.97 for 4 razor
Total OOP $18.91 - total savings = 40.2% (or $12.71)

How to Make French Fried Onions
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions.Things You'll Need:
•1 1/2 cup flour
•1 3/4 tsp. salt
•1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
•2 tsp. sugar
•2 eggs
•1 1/4 cup milk
•1/4 cup vegetable oil
•Measuring cup
•2 Large bowls
•Measuring spoon
•Wire whisk or fork for blending
•A deep frying pan
•Paper towels
•Baking sheet
Prepare the Onions
Step 1
Remove the skin from the onions.
Step 2
Cut the onions crosswise, making slices that are approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Step 3
Separate the onion slices carefully into individual rings.
Step 4
Dry the onion rings thoroughly with paper towels.
Step 5
Dredge the onion rings in flour, coating them thoroughly.
Step 6
Set the coated onion rings aside on a large baking sheet.
Step 7
Repeat the process until you've coated all of the onion rings with flour.
Prepare the Batter and Fry the Onions
Step 1
Place all of the dry ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is thoroughly and evenly mixed together, then set the bowl aside.
Step 2
Blend the milk, oil and eggs together in a large bowl. Once they are blended, add the dry ingredients to the mixture.
Step 3
Beat the ingredients until the batter is blended and smooth.
Step 4
Heat one inch of oil in a deep pan until it reaches 375 degrees F.
Step 5
Dip the flour coated onion rings into the batter and allow all of the extra batter to drip off. Put the onion rings carefully into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd them
Step 6
Fry the onions until they turn a golden brown color, then turn them over until they are cooked on both sides.
Step 7
Remove the onions from the hot oil once they are cooked and put them on a paper towel lined baking sheet or wire rack. This will allow all of the excess oil to drain off the onion rings. Repeat the process until all of the onions are cooked.

Step 7
Repeat the process until you've coated all of the onion rings with flour.
Prepare the Batter and Fry the Onions
Step 1
Place all of the dry ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is thoroughly and evenly mixed together, then set the bowl aside.
Step 2
Blend the milk, oil and eggs together in a large bowl. Once they are blended, add the dry ingredients to the mixture.
Step 3
Beat the ingredients until the batter is blended and smooth.
Step 4
Heat one inch of oil in a deep pan until it reaches 375 degrees F.
Step 5
Dip the flour coated onion rings into the batter and allow all of the extra batter to drip off. Put the onion rings carefully into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd them
Step 6
Fry the onions until they turn a golden brown color, then turn them over until they are cooked on both sides.
Step 7
Remove the onions from the hot oil once they are cooked and put them on a paper towel lined baking sheet or wire rack. This will allow all of the excess oil to drain off the onion rings. Repeat the process until all of the onions are cooked.

Homemade Graham Crackers
So I wanted to make a cheesecake today with a graham cracker crust, but didn't have any graham crackers, so I found this online - I didn't actually bake the graham crackers first, but have a bit more to make into graham crackers still. Can't wait to see how it tastes. Yummy - Strawberry Cheesecake, here we come!
1 cup (4 ounces) Whole Wheat Flour or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
1 cup (4 1/4 ounces) Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces) sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces) vegetable oil
1/4 cup (3 ounces) honey
2 to 3 tablespoons (1 to 1 1/2 ounces) milk (approx.)
additional milk for glaze
cinnamon-sugar (optional
In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat egg till light, then add oil, honey and 2 tablespoons milk. Stir into dry ingredients until you have a fairly stiff dough, adding additional milk if necessary. Wrap dough in waxed paper and chill until firm, about 1 hour (or longer, if it's more convenient).
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until it holds together. Roll dough out till it's about 1/16-inch thick; make sure rolling surface is well-floured, or you'll have trouble transferring crackers to baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cut dough into 3-inch squares, prick each square several times with a fork, and place on lightly greased cookie sheets. Brush the tops with milk, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar if you're so inclined, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crackers are lightly browned. Remove crackers from oven, transfer to a wire cooling rack, and cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen graham crackers.
