Clipping To Save

Frito-Lay Giveaway

2011-08-11T10:38:00.000-07:00

With the new school year upon us, many are getting snacks together to pack lunches. Frito-Lay has many snack options available.

Chips from Frito-Lay are not only great for packing in lunches, you can also enjoy them with a dip. Below is my go to dip when I need something quick to prepare whether it is for a party or a quick snack at home:

Buffalo Chicken Dip

2 (10 oz) cans chunk chicken (drained)
2 ( 8 oz) pkg. cream cheese (softened)
1 c. ranch dressing
3/4 c. pepper sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot)
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 bunch celery (cut into 4 in. pieces, cleaned)
1 (8 oz) box chicken-flavored crackers or crackers of our choice

Heat chicken and hot sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm. Mix in half of the shredded cheese, and transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover, and cook on low until hot and bubbly. Serve with celery sticks and crackers.

Frito-Lay has recently come out with a new line of potato chips titled Regional Flavors:

Northeastern U.S. – Lay’s Honey Mustard
Midwestern U.S. – Lay’s Creamy Garden Ranch
Northwestern U.S. – Lay’s Balsamic Sweet Onion
Southwestern U.S. – Lay’s Chipotle Ranch
Southeastern U.S. – Lay’s Cajun Herb & Spice

All of the Lay’s Regional Flavored potato chips are made with all natural ingredients, and are cooked in healthier oils so they contain 0 grams of trans fats per serving!

There’s also less sodium in them than you might think – a 1-oz serving of our Lay’s Regional Flavored potato chips contains less salt than a plain bagel!

I haven't tried any of the new chips, but I hope to try the Honey Mustard and Balsamic Sweet Onion in the near future.

Giveaway Rules:

1. I will pick one winner for this giveaway. One winner will receive a snack-sized variety pack of Frito-Lay Regional Flavor Chips.

2. Submit a recipe using your favorite chips.

3. Follow me on blogger.

Winner will be chosen on August 23, 2011 at 9:00 p.m. Winner will be notified via email and has 48 hours to respond.

*I was provided the chips in exchange for review.

*Frito-Lay provided me with the chips for giveaway and my blog post is a form of entry for the contest.

I had an awesome trip to Publix today. I don't have time to list each item with the coupons. There were a couple of items that gave me overage: (10) Mentos 2 for $1.00. I used the 50/1 which doubled, and gave me an overage of $5.00. I did two separate transactions so I could use two $5/$30 Purchase coupons. So I spent $17.20 ( which included over $11.00 in pork chops)and saved $94.36. I will go back one more time next week to purchase more canned vegetables.

As many of you know, the south was hit by an ice storm this week. I finally got out of the house today. Our subdivision roads are still icy. My Publix didn’t have all of the sale items stocked.

First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of blogging. The last couple of months have been crazy around here. I will get back to regular posting this week. I finished up calculating my totals for the year. I was hoping to keep my weekly grocery budget at $40.00/week. I ended up averaging $69.00/week for a savings of 77%. This includes all groceries and toiletries.

Total OOP: $3,315.00

Total Savings: $12,345.00

Percentage Saved: 77%

Average Weekly Spending: $69.00

I also submitted $549.00 worth of rebates. So if you subtract my rebates from my OOP, the total I spent OOP is $2,766.00 for a total savings of 79%

My grocery budget for 2011 is $200.00/month. We are doing cash only this year, so I will have to stick to my budget.

I made my weekly run to CVS on Monday. I did several transactions (I don't have time to list each transaction separately). My total OOP was $7.05 (99% tax). The total value of merchandise was $129.49. So after my Extra Care Bucks $18.95, I made a profit of $11.90. If you have any questions regarding the coupons I used, please ask.

Please excuse the tacky table cloth. We need to get glass cut for the top of the table. My trip today wasn't the best. I purchased a lot of items that I didn't have coupons for. I also took back some vitamins that I had purchased a couple of weeks ago which helped my OOP total. I thought the price was incorrect. They must have been in the wrong place when I grabbed them.

Fresh Vegetables & Garden

2010-05-21T06:28:00.000-07:00

I had several ask me where do I get fresh vegetables since they hardly ever see them in my shopping pictures. Last year we had our first garden which was a huge success. I put up yellow squash, zucchini, bell peppers, banana peppers. We had so many tomatoes and cucumbers that we had to share with neighbors and friends. This year we have planted tomatoes, green beans, acorn squash, zucchini, yellow squash, butternut squash, spring onions, leeks, green bell peppers, red and yellow bell peppers, eggplant, sweet potatoes, and strawberries. Each year we will add something new. Next year we will add asparagus and red onions. Here are some pictures of the garden that I took this morning after the rain.
