Deals...

Ok, so I think my plan for couponing will be to get the paper on Sundays...and then go shopping after MJ goes to sleep on Monday nights. That way I will have the time to look through coupons in the paper on Sunday while he is napping and get my stuff together for the next day. Couponing is so exciting! BTW--if you need diapers. Check the Kroger ad. There is a $3 off coupon for their Kroger diapers (southernsavers.com) and then they are on sale for $6.97 this week. So that's a pretty good deal for diapers...about $.11 a diaper. We usually buy Sam's diapers $40 for 176...which is around $.23 a piece. Check it out!

Ok, so my deals this week were great. I spent $52 for $98 shopping bill by using my coupons. WOOT WOOT! I still have a ways to go with this couponing thing, but I will still post my menus for the week. That way, if you like, you can go shop this week to create these meals.

Chicken and Dressing Recipe:
Chicken:
Flour, salt, and pepper mixture to coat chicken
Chicken strips
canola oil up to about 1/4 inch in skillet

-Heat oil in skillet
-Toss chicken in flour mixture
-Pan fry chicken until brown on all sides
-Remove chicken from pan
-Drain all but about 1 tbs of oil from pan. Add about 1/4 cup of flour mixture into pan. Stir until a rue is created. Add 2-3 cups of water or chicken stock.
-Allow to simmer to incorporate then add chicken back to gravy.

Dressing:
1 box of jiffy cornbread (feeds 4)
1 egg
1 small onion chopped
chicken stock

-Cook cornbread as directed on box.
-When cornbread is ready, scrape it into a bowl. Add onions, egg, salt and pepper. Add enough chicken stock that it becomes slightly soupy...a little less than an entire can. Placee in the oven at 350 degress for approximately 20 minutes or until it appears to be set and no longer soupy.
-Spoon chicken and gravy over dressing and serve with vegetables.

This blog is for couponers that need help creating their weekly menu. I have friends that enjoy couponing but would love to learn how to create meals based on those coupons. On this blog, I will post my weekly menu based on the deals I have gotten through couponing....Hope it helps!
