$2 off Post Trail Mix Crunch

Posted in: Uncategorized  //  Comments (30)
As I was checking my favorite manufacturer sites last night during “The Bachelorette” {Can anyone else sympathize with my anger/hurt/heartbreak from the last two rose ceremonies? How did she just send Jake and now Michael home??! Someone get her some coupons, cause she is definitely krazy!! I don’t really care who she picks now, the good guys are gone!}
I came across this beautiful $2 off coupon again. Remember Post Trail Mix Crunch? If you were following KCL a few months back, you were around when Albertsons ran their Post promo and we got lots of cheap or free cereal! If you’ve got a CVS nearby, hold on to your coupon until next week; rumors are swirling that they’ll be free. Even without a CVS, a $2 off coupon is always great for cereal!

Why Special Ordering Works…

Posted in: Couponing Basics  //  Comments (9)
I mentioned earlier that I was able to special order Tuna at Albertson’s this week… I wanted to explain this to everyone because the promo from last week is continuing through this weeks’ sales, so if you weren’t able to get what you needed you’ll get a second chance.

Here’s how I special order:

1. I make sure I have to coupons I need. If I need to get more (especially if they are coupons that are found in the store) than I look online. With the Tuna, I wanted to get my family stockpiled, so I wanted a full year supply. This would require a lot of coupons, and I didn’t want to get pegged a Tearpad Stealer, so I headed off to E-bay to do my bidding. I actually found a great “Buy it Now” Auction, where I could enter the quantity I wanted, and buy them right away. I did this all on the first day of the sale. I purchased the coupons on ebay, and paid right away, and then emailed the seller, explaining my time frame to him, so he would ship my coupons in a timely manner.
2. After I order my coupons, I head to my store, to talk to the “freight manager”. I always try to order my “special orders” through the same person. When choosing who to have order your items, choose a manager. The last thing you need is some punk teenager (said with all the love in the world- I love when the “punk teenagers are my checkers! :) ) who will forget to order it, order the wrong thing- or forget when they arrive and put them on the shelf.
3. I write down the manager’s name who helped me, and I write down the day and time he said I could come to get them.
4. Lastly, don’t wait for a phone call… They usually tell me they will call me, but I rarely get a phone call. So I just head in once I get my coupons and I know my stuff will be there.

Special Ordering is a life saver! I have NEVER had my store mess up my order
and it’s always come in time for the sale.

Other Krazy Tips:
-Try not to place your special order at a store that’s super KRAZY. I like my store, because there aren’t a lot of coupon shoppers, and so they aren’t so overwhelmed with people buying what I am special ordering. that they get lost.
- It’s best not to special order a large quantity of items that you’ll need doublers for. You’ll want to purchase them all at the same time, to ensure you get them, and you may have a grouchy checker if you are going 100 transactions with 3 items each.

Still have questions about this process? Leave a comment and we’ll try to help you out!

Krazy in the Kitchen: Tuna Recipes!!

Posted in: Uncategorized  //  Comments (8)
Is anyone else drowning in Tuna? I took advantage of the Tuna at Albertsons (more on how I did it, later this week) and now have a year supply for my family. It’s not an impressive year supply, as there are only 4 of us, and we are not big Tuna eaters… But my goal is to find some recipes that even my Tuna Hatin’ Husband will eat! This Casserole will be my first try:

Tuna Casserole

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained
  • 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  3. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix noodles, onion, 1 cup cheese, peas, tuna, soup and mushrooms. Transfer to a 9×13 inch baking dish, and top with potato chip crumbs and remaining 1 cup cheese.
  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is bubbly.
TUNA MELT

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna in water, drained
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 3/4 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 slices seedless rye bread
  • 8 slices ripe tomato
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • paprika, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven broiler.
  2. In a bowl, mix the tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, parsley, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the rye bread slices on a baking sheet, and broil 1 minute in the preheated oven, until lightly toasted. Remove from heat, and spread with the tuna salad. Place 1 cheese slice over the tuna salad on each piece of bread, layer with a tomato slice, and top with remaining cheese slices.
  4. Return layered bread to the preheated oven, and broil 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.
And Joanie had this to add:
If you’re having your in-laws over and you’re trying to impress your “the woman you’ll never live up to” mother-in-law, you should probably go with something like Seared Ahi Tuna on a bed of mixed greens with Wasabi Vinigarette.
If it’s 5:30 and you’ve got to be to a meeting at 7:00 and you’ve got mouths to feed. This is one of my quickest tried and true recipes. It’s a crowd pleaser at my house full of too-good-for tuna snobs:

CREAMED TUNA ON BISCUITS

Sauce
In a saucepan melt 4 T butter. Whisk in 6 T flour and ¾ t salt until smooth. Add 3 c milk. Stir and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and bubbles. Add one pouch of tuna.

Buttermilk Biscuits {homemade- but still quick and easy!}
2 C. Flour
3 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp soda
5 T shortening
1 C. Buttermilk

Mix dry ingredients, cut in shortening, add buttermilk. Use cookie cutter or an upside down table glass to cut into biscuits. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Yield: 12 biscuits.

More Double Lovin'

Posted in: Albertsons  //  Comments (19)
That’s right ladies, check your papers because there are
3 More Albertson’s Doublers in the Sunday Paper
!
They have been confirmed in the Press Tribune for sure, but I am sure they will be in the Statesman as well! Anyone want to confirm? And what about Utah? Anywhere else?

They are on a glossy 1 page Albertsons ad, like we see most of the time and similar to the one pictured above. They are labeled 3-5, but say limit 3 per transaction (so we can’t use them with the other 2 doublers, bummer!)
