I did a TON of pantry stockpiling this week at Kroger for Super Doubles, but managed to also stockpile on shredded cheese, packaged potatoes and more. So, I will make a trip today to Publix to grab some milk and fresh produce then I will just eat from what I already have on hand.

Kelly,
Living alone and liking pop corn, a regular sized bag is too much, Around Halloween I buy the special Halloween box of popcorn treats and either freeze or store it in the fridge in the garage. I have popcorn all year and in my size.
This was my first day to the new life of saving money with coupons! I saved 23.87$, which was pretty good for first time, especially since I had to buy a huge bag of dogfood for my german shepherd. Hopefully I’ll continue to get better! Thanks!
I buy it from Sams !

You can use either veggie broth or chicken broth and I use 2 cups broth and two cups water and we can’t tell the difference. The trick is to slightly squish the potato chunks with a fork to thicken it. We also add in a 1 – 1 1/2 cups of cubed ham in when we add the potatoes.
