Pillsbury Recipes

Since I have gotten so many Pillsbury crescent rolls, cinnamon rolls and biscuits this week at Dillons I thought I would share some of the recipes I am using with these items:

Crescent Rolls:
Grands Biscuits:
  • Serve with jelly for breakfast along with some yogurt and fruit
  • Biscuit sandwiches. This a great breakfast idea!
  • Carmel Apple biscuits. This recipe says it is for breakfast, but I think it is a great dessert option!
Cinnamon Rolls:
  • Bake them and eat them for breakfast or dessert!
If you have any other ideas please feel free to share them in the comments section!

Dillons: Gillette Shampoo for .19/bottle!

If you visit the clearance section at the 21st and Belle Dillons you just might find a load of Gillette shampoo marked down to $2.19/bottle! In this past Sunday's P&G insert there were $2/1 coupons for this product:
  • Buy 1 Gillette Shampoo marked down to 2.19
  • Use 2/1 coupon
Pay only .19/bottle!

Bring Back the Coupons

It just recently came to my attention that Red Plum is deciding to pull their coupon inserts from Sunday papers in various states and mailing them to targeted areas instead. While this is not affecting the state of Kansas yet, it could soon.

The problem with Red Plum doing this is that many of the actual coupon users are not receiving coupons because they don't live in the "targeted mailing area." Red Plum is encouraging coupon users to use printable coupons from their site, but as we all know there are not nearly as many internet coupons available as there are paper.

If you want to know more about this issue, or live in a state that just recently stopped receiving the Red Plum insert in your paper please visit this website here. Visit the links and find out what you can do to help bring back the coupons!

Kroger Comfort Wipes Deal

In the past few weeks you may have gotten a Dillon's (Kroger) mailer with baby specific coupons in it. One of those coupons is for $5 off when you buy 3 Kroger Comforts wipes tubs. Here is a great deal you can do:
  • Buy 3 tubs of Kroger Comforts wipes (80 ct.) at $2.19/1=$6.57
  • Use $5/1 coupon
Total=$1.57 for 3 tubs of wipes or .52 cents each!!!

*Note: The Kroger Comfort toddler wipes (small packages) are on sale 10/$10 use $1/1 coupons found on product packages or out of the mailer to get these FREE! I was actually able to pick up some packages with the old Comforts logo for .79 cents on close out. With the $1/1 coupon these gave me .21 cents overage!

Below are some examples of what we have for breakfast and lunch:

Breakfast: Unfortunately in this house there are not many options.
  • Frozen pancakes (made from scratch and then frozen) and fruit
  • Oatmeal with fruit

  • Yogurt with fruit
  • Eggs and toast with fruit
Lunch:

Get MORE Pillsbury

This coupon link here has added Pillsbury Crescent rolls coupons (.35/1), Pillsbury sweet roll coupons (.35/1) and Pillsbury Grands coupons (.50/2). Be sure to use them before the Pillsbury 10/10 promotion ends Tuesday!!!

An Even BETTER Diaper deal!

I posted my original plan to pay $9.99 for a Jumbo pack of Pampers and a Mega pack of Playskool diapers at CVS here! To my surprise a CRT for $5/$20 CVS purchase printed at the coupon machine for me this morning. So here is what I did instead geting 2 Mega packs for less than my original plan!
  • Buy 2 Playskool Mega packs (I bought size 3=60 diapers... stocking up for the new one)=22.00
  • Use $5/$20 CVS purchase CRT (Playskool is CVS brand)
  • Use $3/1 Playskool diaper CRT
  • Total OOP=$14.00
You get $5 EB back for Purchasing $20 worth of products so your real total is $9.00 for 2 MEGA PACKS of diapers or $4.50 each!
