I headed out in a blizzard just to check on the Kleenex promotion ’cause I’d heard the Cool Touch may or may not be working.  Yes, it works beautifully!  Tried seven of the cube Cool Touch (very pretty box, by the way) and a $3 cat spit out.

But it was great trip to Jewel because they had a ton of gluten-free products on the clearance cart – can you say a buck for a loaf of rice bread?  Not to mention the corn pasta and cookies.  Which is all going to Rachel’s House of Plague and Allergies.

But the deal of all was on Perdue Roasters that were going for 49¢ a pound!  Yup, dated 1/23 and selling for less than the scrawny fryers.  So I got six for me and five for Rachel.  And made a rapid change in tonight’s dinner plans.  So here’s my pile:

I don’t show all six chicken here (use your imaginations!), but this pile includes 14 of the Nonesuch mincemeat cartons for 25¢ each (they’re just mostly raisins and apple juice that I’ll use for oatmeal and baking), which was a great price, considering they were $4.98 originally; two New England coffee gingerbread cookie flavor for $3 each (lots left on the cart); two Prego pasta sauce with four of the Everyday Essentials.  Only coupons were the Prego and EE (which I posted about yesterday).  My OOP?  $31.84.  Dates on the mincemeat are 2014 – DH says I’ll keep it for years past the expiration “cause I love to keep stuff.”  I pointed out that the only thing I’ve kept around after its expiration is him.
