Deliciously Simple Holiday Recipes Coupon Booklet


You may want to keep an eye out for a “Deliciously Simple Holiday Recipes” coupon booklet. I found it on an endcap at my local grocery store. It has twelve recipes in it along with 4 manufacturer coupons on the back. The coupons do not expire until 3-31-2011 meaning there should be plenty of chances [...]

How To Get A Free Thanksgiving Turkey


I believe that the biggest challenge for the Thanksgiving dinner for six for $1 challenge is going to be getting the Thanksgiving turkey. Turkeys get greatly discounted at this time of the year to bring people into the grocery stores, but since I am only working with $1 for the entire meal, even that is [...]

Can I Use This Money For The $1 Thanksgiving Challenge?


This wouldn’t be a challenge between me and my sister if there weren’t some controversy along the way. During the Eating Well On $1 A Day Challenge, I asked the readers to resolve disputes that came up — I have the first one for the Thanksgiving Dinner For Six For $1 Challenge. I purchased some [...]

Free Pillsbury Biscuits: $1 Thanksgiving Meal Challenge


I hope that I’m able to find a lot more deals like this in the coming weeks as this will make my job of creating a Thanksgiving meal for six people for $1.00 a lot easier. I ended up securing six packages of Pillsbury Grands biscuits for better than free at Lucky Supermarket – I [...]

Feeding Six On $1 Thanksgiving Meal Challenge Menu

Free Stuffing & Gravy: $1 Thanksgiving Meal Challenge


This actually dates back to last week and it is both good and bad news. The good news is that I got free food toward my $1 Thanksgiving for 6 meal challenge, but that bad news is that had I been a little more prepared, I could have done much better. Last week Del Monte [...]

Safeway eCoupon Policy and CVS BOGO Coupon Policy


The $1 Thanksgiving meal challenge just got a lot harder. There were two recent store coupon updates that are going to make the $1 Thanksgiving meal challenge that much more difficult to complete. Both are bad news for those of us that use coupons to get food for free (or nearly free). CVS BOGO Coupon [...]

The $1 Thanksgiving Meal Challenge (for six people)


Once again, I have to ask myself what in the hell have I gotten myself into. I’m pretty sure that I have set myself up for a disaster waiting to happen (for those of you who may have somehow forgotten, I don’t know how to cook), and I’m already terrified of what this is going [...]

Lazy Couponing – eCoupons


eCoupons eCoupons are relatively new and are coupons that you load directly onto your store affiliated card. What is wonderful about these coupons is that currently they can be stacked in conjunction with manufacturer coupons, there is not any cutting or sorting needed with them since they are electronically placed onto your card and they [...]
