I just purchased 480 Pillsbury Grands biscuits for my local food banks and it didn’t cost me a cent (if fact, I actually made a couple dollars from the grocery store in the process). Add that to the 120 biscuits and the 138 biscuits I purchased at no cost earlier in the week, and I…

Although hot chocolate was not on the original list of things I was planning to get for the Thanksgiving Dinner For 6 For $1 Challenge, it seemed like a good addition for the kids, and especially if Thanksgiving ends up being a cold day. Swiss Miss 10 pack boxes are currently on sale for $0.99…

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…

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…

First and foremost, this meal ultimately needs to be edible and with my panache for completely ruining meals I make, basic is good. While I do ultimately hope to make some of the food from scratch (I will try…

If you have a Safeway near you (even if you don’t shop there), you will want to stop by and grab a few of The Big Thanksgiving Coupon Books (over $60 in savings) as they have some good coupons that will make for free / nearly free food. Most are manufacturer coupons which can be…

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…
DetailsThe $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…
