 I have been wanting to try this since it came out. I was planning to buy it at Target but Safeway came up with a better deal. I made it for dinner tonight with some rice and the free Crab Rangoons that were free at Raley’s last week. It is the BEST frozen chinese food. It was very easy to make and it did NOT taste like I got it from the freezer. It says 3 servings, but it made for very generous servings for 2 people.  There is Shanghai Beef, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Orange Chicken, General Chicken, and Ginger Shrimp.

If I missed anything really good, leave a comment so I can add it. If you have a great shopping picture you would like me to post, send it to Diana@pantryoverflow.com

Buying lots of items at VERY low-FREE will get you to the place where you have plenty of food in stock to make GREAT meals without having to run to the store, and then you will start to extremely reduce your budget-Here is an example;


This is what we are having for dinner tonight for 9 People-
2 boxes of pasta–$.25 each
2 jars of sauce– $.69 each
Johnsonville Italian Sausages–FREE at Raleys with $20 purchase last weekend
2 bags Kraft Shredded pizza cheeese–$1 each
1 package french bread for garlic bread- Free at Target when I bought Peanut butter a few weeks ago
2 bags of Steamfresh Green Beans–FREE when I bought fishsticks 2 weeks ago)
So dinner for 9 people PLUS leftovers was
$3.88! ($.43 a person)

So my advice to you would be–even if you don’t need it on your menu this week, BUY IT if it is a stock up price, or if you can get things for free, save them up. Then, when you go to make your menu after a few weeks of doing this you will have many items to start with and your trips to the store will just be for fresh produce and meat-or more cheap-free items.

Here is the shopping trip at CVS where you can get MORE back then you spend!!! It is a GREAT transaction to get you started shopping at CVS and leave you with enough Extra Bucks to use next week and never have to spend a lot there again!

Buy These Items:

1 Alive Multi Vitamins for Women $9.99 (Receive $9.99 Extra Bucks back)
1 Nivea Mens Body Wash $4.99 (Recieve $4.99 EB) Make sure you choose the scent that has the tag that says you get $4.99 Extra Bucks back-there are other scents that are part of a different sale!
1 Bag of Brachs Candy Corn $.99.(Receive $.99 Extra Bucks)
Tylenol Precise $5.99 (Receive $2.00 Extra Bucks back)

You may be thinking...I don’t need any of this stuff..True, but someone you know might, or you can use the extra bucks to get what you want and need for free, or save the extra bucks for next weeks sale and there may be something you want and you can get extra bucks back for that and never have to spend your money again. A lot of what I buy at CVS and Rite Aid I give away because I get it for free. Just buying the Extra Buck items with your extra bucks and coupons each week you end up with more and more Extra Bucks each week. Sometimes when they have sales on milk and eggs, I use my Extra Bucks on that so it doesn’t come out of my regular shopping budget.

$22.04 BEFORE coupons. Use these;
$4 off $20 purchase (register your CVS card at CVS.com and they will email it to you)
$ 1 off Alive Vitamins PRINT HERE
$1 off Nivea Mens Body Wash Red Plum 8/29
$2 off Tylenol Precise PRINT at CVS.com
$2 off Tylenol Precise Manfacturers Coupon PRINT HERE

Pay $12.04 and Receive $17.97 Extra Bucks!
$5.93 Money Maker!!
(I had $10 EB, and $.99EB from last weeks diapers and gum, so I paid $1.05 and made $16.92!)
Then when you get another $4 off $20 you have enough Extra Bucks for a FREE Transaction!! OR you can divide your Extra Bucks.
If you have any Questions let me know!

So My mom flew in this morning from Southern CA, and she is flying back out tonight. SO I had an extra suitcase and let her go “shopping” through my stockpiled treasures! Of course I took her to Rite Aid and Target for a quick lesson before she left! The weight limit for Southwest is 50lbs, and her suitcase weighed 45lbs! It was so fun to fill that up as full as I could!

FREE Milk AND Sobe????

Many of us who have been getting Sobe all week at CVS have also been getting $3 off $10 grocery purchase when we scan our cards at the coupon kiosk.  Thanks to Christine at FullerFamilyFrugalities I have a picture for you!
Here is how to get free milk:

6 Sobe Life Water @ 1.59 each
B1G1F Sale
$5.07 for 6 (this includes the bottle deposit)

2 Gallons of Milk @ $2.79 each sale price

Subtotal: $10.65

Used 3 B1G1F Sobe MFG Q sobe.headsortails.com

This was an awesome deal because we go through LOTS of milk and I received 3 coupons this week-I even bought butter at CVS which to me is SOO Funny that it was cheaper to buy my milk and butter at CVS this week!

On the back of the Save Mart ad there is a coupon for 5 for $5 Fritos Snacks. It includes the Fritos and the Fritos Bean Dip. IF you have the coupon Save $1 when you buy Fritos and Fritos Bean Dip, that would make them $.50 each!
