Ice Cream on the Brain

 

Quick! Before the kids get home! Which one should I eat first?
So here's the deal I found today... and it ends tomorrow, thank God! There's a manufacturer's coupon in the Marsh circular (the print ad that's piled up by the door of the store) for Haagen-Daz, Buy 2, Get a Free Gelato, up to $3.50. The Haagen-Daz is $3.99 at Marsh this "week" (the grocery store week that ends 3/20/13) so if you did the deal there, it would be $3.99 + $3.99 + $3.99 - $3.50 = $8.47.


I found a printable Target coupon for $1 off 2 Haagen-Daz. It's a Target coupon so you can stack it with a manufacturer's coupon. The Haagen-Daz is $3.54 at Target. So, first stop Marsh, grab some circulars. Next stop Target, get the ice cream and use both coupons.

$3.54 + $3.54 + $3.54 - $1 - $3.50 = $6.12
That's $2.04 each, sounds good to me!
I tried the Salted Caramel Truffle. Heavenly!
 I dropped the kids off at tumbling and dance and hit Target again for 3 more cartons.

OK, I actually did buy more than just ice cream. I've been trying out the Campbell's Go Soups. They are $2.49 at Target. There is a Target printable for $1.00 as well as a $1.00 manufacturer's printable coupon at coupons.com, making them $0.49. So far, my family has tried:

Spicy Chorizo and Pulled Chicken with Black Beans - I loved it; too spicy for everyone else
                                                                                         (wimps!)
Coconut Curry with Chicken and Shitake Mushrooms - Sweet but good, per my husband who ate
                                                                                          the whole bag by himself

Today I got: Creamy Red Pepper with Smoked Gouda
                     Chicken and Quinoa with Poblano Chilies

Target also has the Hormel Compleats on sale for $1.66 and there is a $1.00 printable at coupons.com. The kids like these for grab-and-go dinners on busy nights.

So here's my total Target take for the day

$14.44

So ... my younger daughter comes home from school and found the Haagen-Daz, eats some, then tried to hide it WAAAAY back in the freezer.

She doesn't know there's more in the basement.

So what's your favorite kind of ice cream?
Should I get more ice cream tomorrow?
Have you tried a Go Soup yet?

I got a baby workout in today. 30 minutes on the bike, 8.46 miles, 81 rpm.

  3. Salted Caramel sounds heavenly! I won't buy any of it....because then I would eat it all! I haven't tried the soup. Sounds good! By the way my favorite ice cream is homemade peanut butter and chocolate...ALWAYS! :)
