Also, last week I shopped at Harris Teeter while they were having their triple coupon sale.  I ended up with about $160 in groceries for only $60.  My cabinets are pretty full right now and other than fresh items (milk, bread, egg, lunch meat, fruit) there’s not a whole lot I need.

Today I did stop at Food Lion to pick up some milk and eggs and discovered that their Kraft cheese slices (12 oz package) are on sale 4/$5.  You have to buy four packages to get the deal.  Otherwise, it will cost you a bit more.  I bought the four packages.  With three kids home for the summer, I’m sure we’ll have no problem eating the cheese.  Besides, the expiration date isn’t until December 2009.

I regret that I also missed out on Food Lion’s 2-day sale.  I didn’t look at the flyer earlier in the week and missed out on buying Pampers Easy Ups for $7.99 . . . and you know I’d have a coupon to go along with that deal.  Oh well.

Sometimes Food Lion’s prices vary by location, so it’s a good idea to check the online flyer.  Good luck and happy stockpiling!

You’ll need:

8 oz cream cheese (at room temperature or softened)
2-4 tablespoons Catalina dressing

Simply mix the cream cheese and the Catalina dressing until the dressing is completely mixed into the cream cheese.  The amount of dressing you use will depend upon how tangy you like the cheese spread. 

I’ve served this at two parties and it was well received.  Thanks to my friend Darlene for the recipe.

Enjoy!
