CVS deal and a delicious new supper recipe

I haven't shopped for deals at CVS in a few weeks but when I saw this Huggies diaper deal,  it was one I knew I should do.

I followed these instructions to print my coupons .  I also had a CVS scanner coupon that took off another $1.50.
I spent $19.13 for 4 packs of diapers and got back a $10 CVS card that can be spent on just about anything. (I will be looking for a future deal to spend it on)  I especially like that the Consumer Queen had all the details of this deal in one place and it took almost no effort on my part to.  Some deals are just so complicated but this one was easy.

Have you read The Iowa Housewife's blog?  She has cooking tips and beautiful food photos with the recipes.  I read a pork chop recipe she had last week and was sure my husband would like it.  So,  I made it yesterday and it is a keeper recipe.  It is a lot like a chicken rice recipe I have made for years but this one has bell peppers in it.  

Baked Pork Chops and Rice from Sue- The Iowa Housewife 

I cooked ours just like she did,  but used less salt and just used 3 large pork chops .

Thank you Sue~

So far this week.....

Yesterday was Election Day in the US.  I watched some of the news coverage about the results this morning, politicians on both sides were vowing "to get things done" 

I guess time will tell if they do. I'm not holding my breath though.......

I made out a short to do list on Monday and am thankful most of it is done and has been scratched off. 

We shopped at the commissary yesterday, which is a good but funny place to shop. 

The produce looked especially good and many of the things we wanted were good prices. Besides these 2 winter squash, we also bought yellow crooked neck squash and zucchini. I don't think we have ever bought 4 kinds of squash at one time. This is funny because my husband really only ate corn, green beans, potatos and salad when we got married, now he likes most everything. (Except cream cheese, sour cream and Ranch)

Most of the produce was priced by the pound. 

It was funny to me that our giant head of cabbage was priced by the head- it was just 33 cents for a head of cabbage that weighs almost 5 pounds. 

We will be eating lots of vegetables over the next few weeks.

And Even at the commissary, I use coupons!
