Recipe=Crunchy Ranch Chicken

Here is a recipe that I just posted on another site. I thought you all might like it. It is really really yummy and super easy.

1/3 cup crusted corn flakes
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (fresh or crumbs in the can)
1 pkg Ranch dressing
4 chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all the dry ingredients together. Spray chicken with oil like Pam or something like that. Roll your chicken in the "mix/crumbs." Bake for 25-35 minutes.

This is really reall good, but most of all IT IS WEIGHT WATCHER friendly. You probably have to calculate more points if you use the fresh parmesan, but we calculated it at 4 points per chicken breast with the "canned" parmesan. I did not make this recipe up. I happened to get it a few years ago from the WW Community Boards.

Thank you!

My Target Trip This Morning!

Look at what I got for $0.47 plust tax at Target today...........

Here's how I did it....

Air Wick I-Motion Freshmatic Ultra Starter Kit $6

Use the $5/1 coupon from the 2/7SS
Plus, use the $1/1 Target coupon from here
Final cost FREE!

Crest Kids Toothpaste 4.6 oz on a price cut for $1.49 (until 4/17)
Use the $0.75/1 coupon from the 2/7 or 3/7 PG
Plus, use the $1/1 Target coupon from here
(click on the “Kids Spring Savings” category on the left hand side)
Final cost FREE + $0.26 in overage to go towards other items!

Seventh Generation Disinfecting Products (Wipes or Spray) $2.99
Use the $1/1 coupon from here (you have to sign up or sign-in to print this one)
Plus, use the $1/1 Target coupon from here
Final cost is $0.99
So my subtotal was $0.47, then my tax was $0.69, making my TOOP (total out of pocket) $1.16. My savings was $14.45. Wow!

Anyway, I got a couple of my ideas from Hip 2 Save.  She also posted that the Dial NutriSkin Handsoap ($1.37) would only be $0.02 after both the Target coupon here (old style coupon, meaning you can print as many as you would like) and the $0.35/1 coupon from the 3/7RP. Well, unfortunately, I could not find it at my local Target (Sprague and Evergreen). I was bummed about that. That would make for some really cheap handsoap. Does any other Target around here have it? This is just an example of prices and products varying from region-to-region.

Thanks Hip 2 Save!

The Princess and The Frog for Cheap After Rebates

The Princess and the Frog Deluxe Blu-ray will be released on Tuesday, March 16th. Target will have it for $26.99 and it will come with an exclusive Princess Tiana purse (Walmart will have it for around this same price).


You'll want to head over here and print a coupon for $10.00 off of the Blu-ray combo set. Keep in mind that this coupon will be good only through March 21st, so you'll have to run this deal this week.
Then, there are actually 2 mail in rebate offers. What is great, is that both rebates allow for photocopies of your receipt. The movie comes with two proof of purchase tabs - so you can actually submit BOTH of them! And don't worry about purchasing all items at the same time -- that is NOT required.

Rebate #1: Purchase 2 boxes of Band-Aids and The Princess and The Frog on Blu-Ray or DVD and get a $5.00 rebate by mail. You can download the form here. It expires June 30th. Find out to get free band-aids here (Remember that prices vary from region-to-region, so the Band-Aid price may not be accurate for our area, but it is worth a shot).

Rebate #2: Purchase any roll of FrogTape Multi-Surface (24mm, 36mm, or 48mm) painters tape and The Princess and The Frog on Blu-Ray or DVD and get $5.00 rebate by mail. You can download that form here. It expires May 31st. (These average about $6.00 each at most stores).
Here is how your final transaction will look:

$26.99 Blu-ray and Purse
- 10.00 printable coupon
- 5.00 Rebate #1
- 5.00 Rebate #2
_____
$ 6.99

Thanks KC Penny Pinchin Mama for putting this all together!

Walgreens=$0.19 Deodorant

Just got back from Walgreens. Had to use my free Excedrin coupon before it expired this weekend. So, I was shopping around and they have their Right Guard deodorants on clearance for $1.19. This was the Walgreens on Argonne and Trent, so pulled out my coupon for $2/2 Right Guard and paid $0.40 for two deodorants. That is a GREAT deal!

Thanks!

Reminder~

I just wanted to share with you all that I went to Rite-Aid last night (AGAIN). That is my fourth time this week. They have GREAT deals this week. Anyway, I had went the night before to a different one and the "boy" was just awful. He proclaimed to me that "I HATE COUPONS!" He was not very nice at all. He was not happy with me because I was buying the B1G1 free makeup (Covergirl) and had my B1G1 free coupons. I don't know why, but he couldn't look up the price without voiding my transaction to use for the coupon. So, he had to have my transaction voided and then ring it up again. Oh, he was not happy. He was slamming my items around and then just stated that he hated coupons, and then he called the other girl over so she could ring my order up. Well, she was with another customer and she never came. I told him that I could help him figure it out and explained to him, after telling him that I was sorry that he hated coupons and that I was just trying to save money (I tried to be really nice to him). He said that I was already getting my makeup at B1G1 free, so I told him that yes I was, but I wanted to use my coupons on the other one that I was buying, essentially getting them both free. I had my handy dandy little coupon policy and pulled it out and asked him if he needed me to show him their policy. He told me no he didn't. Anyway, after explaining to him that he should ring one thing up at a time and then write down the price of the item on the coupon, and then at the end to take it off, then, he finally did it. Boy, he was not happy. By the time I left though, I think we were "okay." He even took my cart back for me. Anyway, I really just tried to kill him with kidness and had my policy handy.

(I did call the 800 customer service number and made a complaint yesterday morning. This is the second time I have had to call and complain for the way that I was treated while trying to use my coupons. I really feel that it is important to let them know as they could potentially lose a customer. If this is what I am thinking, how many other people are thinking the same thing? I do not deserve to be treated that way, especially if I am trying to be nice and helpful too).

Okay, so now, I went to a different Rite-Aid last night. The lady was REALLY REALLY nice. We got to talking and she explained to me that there was a lady in there the night before (a couponer) and she was just a horrible, nasty lady (her words, not mine). She said that she was really nasty because she wanted her order for free and wanted to pay absolutely nothing. Now, there is nothing wrong with that, as that is what most of us shoot for. But, she stated that she had "all" of her coupons scattered out on the counter and was being very confusing to the cashier and trying "pull one over" on them, and just being very rude. She was telling me how she was trying to use more than one coupon for things and you can't do that (not true, but I didn't have the heart to correct her) and said this coupon was for that, oh no it was for that one. Anyway, they were not happy with her and in-turn not happy with us (couponers). I apologized and said I was very sorry that they had to deal with that. I told her that not all couponers are that way and that we are just trying to keep as much money in our pockets as we can.

Now, I'm not sure of the circumstances as I have had a few not pleasant experiences with Rite-Aid, so no judgement on my end here. But, a few things I wanted to remind people of is to play fair (be honest), PRINT OUT THE STORE COUPON POLICY (I have had to pull the Rite-Aid one out three or four different times), and be nice. I know the be nice is not always easy, but just try to smile through the whole thing and kill them with kindness. This should be be fun not stressful (as I am often feeling when I go couponing).

I am also going to program a few of the stores 800 numbers in my phone so I have them on hand.

Also, yesterday, when I was talking with my customer service friend at the 800 Rite-Aid number (not really, but we were on the phone awhile talking coupons, yes, he was even interesting in my couponing). Anyway, I was talking to him about the Rite-Aid Video Values coupons. I had stated to him that on their coupon policy it says we can use them in addition to a manufacture coupon, but on the coupon it says "not to be combined with any other offer." He said, he had no idea why that was on there, but it was not true and that you CAN use it with a manufactured coupon.

So, anyway, there is my huge post, but I just really wanted to share my experiences this week. Now, I'm off go getting ready for the day and GOIN' SHOPPING with my shopping partner, Blakey!

Has anybody had similar experiences and if so, what have you done?

Thanks!
