Smith's mega coupon deals!

Went to Smith's yesterday and got a few things. We love the Fiber One granola bars. They are low in calories, high in fiber and are a great quick snack. Through today Smith's has had General Mills gereals and granola bars on sale. 4/$10. Then you get a $5 gift card back to use on your next purchase, so it's like paying 4/$5! Pair that with coupons and you have a killer deal! So we are not big fans of Natur Valley granola bars, we don't care for the crunchy kind, but they have a new one that is called a granola thin. There was a coupon in Sunday's paper for 75 cents off 1 box. I decided to see if they were part of the sale. I was very pleased when they were. I also got Nestle chocolte chips 2/$4, but had a $1.50 off 2 coupon, plus they were supposed to print a $3 catalina on four. For some reason I didn't get the $3 catalia I got two $1 catalinas. I knew I should have gotten the $3 catalina so I mentioned it to the cashier and she ended up giving me cash back and then let me have the catalina's as well. It was a great deal!

So I paid $14.22 (with tax) for 12 boxes of granola bars, 8 bags cocolate chips and 2 dozen eggs! Really great shopping trip!

I also took my friend and we went to Walmart last night. In Sunday's Johnson and Johnson Smart Source, there were two coupons for Reach toothpaste or floss. Right inside the first page, one is $1 off 1, the other is $2.50 off 2, take them to Walmart and get better than free dental floss. The smaller floss at Walmart is 88 cents, so use the overage on the coupons to help pay for something else, like milk that is ways to expensive!

Italiano Soup

1 lb. ground turkey
onion
12 cups beef broth
2 cans Italian tomatoes
2 cups uncooked macaroni noodles

brown and crumble ground turkey with chopped onion in pot. Add beef broth and tomatoes. Bring to a boil and add macaroni noodles. Boil until noodles are done, about 10 minutes. Can serve with some parmesan cheese.

We loved this soup! I tweeked a recipe that I had to come up with this. Really quick and easy and a good way to use some of the many boxes of pasta from the sale a few weeks ago! The only thing we would do different next time is add Italian ground turkey instead of plain, it has more of a spicy flavor like sausage.
