Betty Crocker Instant Potatoes $1.29 minus .50/1 Q and CAT offer

Pillsbury Grands Biscuits $1 minus $1/3Q and CAT offer

Green Giant beans .99 minus CAT offer

including the free Dr. Pepper we made about $3 to eat dinner tonight. Yummy.

Frugal Friday Christmas Day Dinner

This has been a wonderful holiday season. Lots of companies have given out great discounts, sales and coupons. Let me sum up the feast we have planned:

Feast A:

Hillshire farms/ Carando spiral baked ham ( free with $12 WT)

purple mashed potatoes (under $2 after produce WT)

French’s green bean casserole (maybe $1 after coupons)

Pillsbury crescent rolls (free after coupon/CAT)

homemade Lucky Leaf apple pie and Breyers ice cream (a couple bucks after coupons)

Feast B:

brined Butterball turkey (free with $12 WT)

Stove Top stuffing (free or MM after coupons)

fresh Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce (under $1 after coupons)

sweet potato casserole (under $2 after coupons)

Pillsbury crescent rolls (free after coupon/CAT)

homemade Libby’s pumpkin pie and Breyer’s ice cream with Cool Whip (a couple bucks after coupons)

Feast C:

Stockman & Dakota rib roast

Betty Crocker butter herb mashed potatoes (free after coupon/CAT)

Green Giant green beans almondine (free after coupons)

Pillsbury crescent rolls (free after coupon/CAT)

fresh apple crisp with Granny Smith apples and Breyer’s ice cream (under $2 after coupons)

Not counting any rebates I can submit for under $5 for a feast that can comfortably feed 4-6 people. Which doesn’t account for the cheese/cracker/pickle trays or fudge and cookies we’ve made as well. No scrimping in this house for the holidays.

Now if I could just find a coupon for a free housecleaning, lol. My goal is to get the place spotless and neat for my husband.
