Money-saving tips for Thanksgiving

By Valerie
Friday, November 18th, 2011

Here are a couple of tips to save money this Thanksgiving.

When you’re chopping celery for your stuffing, save the celery stems and leaves, and use them when making stock with your turkey carcass. They have all the same flavor and are going to be strained out anyway.

Also, when you are peeling onions for your various dishes save the onion skins and use those in your stock as well. The onion skins add color to your stock.

Check out our previous post about poultry seasoning, (http://dollydomestic.com/605/poultry-seasoning/,) and our other post about food substitutions (http://dollydomestic.com/10/what-to-do-when-you%E2%80%99re-out-of-an-ingredient/)

This last tip would have been more useful several months ago, what I do is save the bread crusts that my husband and boys don’t eat. I put them in a bag in the freezer and use them for the croutons for my stuffing. Thanksgiving morning, I dice them up, and toast them in the oven.

Harris Teeter e-Vic deals for 02/11/11 – 02/15/11

I’m happy to see that the water is on sale. I know paying for bottled water isn’t frugal, but I love to have a case of water in my trunk while I’m running errands, so I’ll definitely be stopping by Harris Teeter to grab a case at this price. (Will probably get 4, one for me and each of the men in the house… I’m trying to encourage them to save money and drink more water, too!) Plus, I need to stop by Harris Teeter and get the ground chuck from last week, I got a rain check since they were out.

If you find this useful, please let me know. I know I *could* print out the email, but this is a greener solution, IMO.

Harris Teeter Super Doubles Matchups – Aug 11-17, 2010

By Valerie
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

While I’m personally disappointed that we didn’t get triples, I am happy that we have a little something extra. I was expecting the couponing even to be the last week of July since that had been Harris Teeter’s pattern for a while. Nothing too extraordinary, IMO. But enough deals to make it worthwhile to head out.

The eVIC special is worth grabbing: Buy a combination of 3 Peter Pan Peanut butters and Welch’s jelly to get a special price of .97 each, use the coupons (see list) and get them all for free.

I looked up all the coupons in the Smart Source inserts, but can’t verify the RedPlum Qs since I don’t get them.

In any case, here’s the link to the spreadsheet with the Harris Teeter Super Double Matchups for August 2010. Hope to see my couponing buddies over the next few days.
