I know many of my friends took advantage of the Saturday/Sunday Triple Coupon deals at Pathmark… I sure did. If you didn’t, well I hate to be rude, but you’re an idiot. Keep an eye out because rumor has it they will be back, if I were you, I’d snatch a nice assortment of $1 coupons (the maximum they will triple) either from the paper or a coupon clipping service. I had a nice collection of $1 coupons for things that cost around $3, and many things were on sale, so I ended up walking away with a bit of free stuff.
For once I didn’t walk away with a bunch of body wash or cleaning products … some real groceries that will last quite a while. I spent about $30 total out of pocket for all of the above – I took advantage of the huge discount as some of this stuff would not come this cheap again.

So if you’ve been following, you know I make my own frozen dinners. Following the theme of this post, I picked up two small roaster chickens for about $10 from the store, and put them on my rotisserie (charcoal, of course). Using the chicken, along with rice and vegetables that I already had in storage and were cheap or free, I made myself about 16 dinners.
No need to waste the leftover chicken parts.. they all went in to the pressure cooker and I made some chicken stock. I got almost 7 quarts!
