Weekly Spending Summary

This was pretty much just another "normal" week. My out of pocket was a bit higher than I had hoped for this week, but considering I'll get a lot of it back in Rite Aid Single Check Rebates, I don't mind too much.

Total Spent: $49.83
Total Saved with Coupons: $62.34
Total Saved with Sales: $51.97
Total Saved: $114.31

CVS: $0 (gift card)
Saved with Coupons: $16.55
Saved with Sales: $8.66

Freebies: Schick, Mentos, Cashews

If I hadn't had a gift card to use, I would have paid $0.70. I used $5 in Extra Bucks and got $5 back. The Mentos gum was on sale for Buy One for $1.79, Get One Free. I had six $1 coupons that I used on the gum making me a small profit of $0.63 on those six gums. Love when I can do that!

Rite Aid: $26.76
Saved with Coupons: $41.00
Saved with Sales: $41.48

Freebies: Everything after rebates

I will get back $35.42 in Single Check Rebates and $1 back in a rebate for the Bee MD cough drops. The Starbucks was on clearance for $2.37 and I had a coupon for it too. (This was not marked on the shelf, but it does ring up clearance.) The Bourdeaux Butt Paste was a raincheck item.

Giant: $0
Saved with Coupons: $4.79
Saved with Sales: $1.83

Freebies: All of the above

I had kind of a funny experience when I bought this stuff. I used the self checkout and after the coupons my total came to $0. The register still prompted me to pay, so I chose the cash payment method. No matter what I would do, it still thought I needed to put some money into it! I finally had to get the register assistant to help me out and she had to manually process the transaction. I guess those registers are set up in such a way they don't know what to do with people like us who use coupons to get everything free! :)

Aldi: $23.07

Got numerous groceries as well as $5 cash back to pay for some other grocery items.

Freebie: Food Should Taste Good Chips

"Like" Food Should Taste Good on Facebook and you'll be able to request a coupon for a free bag of their chips. The coupon will come via mail in the next several weeks. Wondering what stores in your area carry this brand? Go here to find out.

My husband is going to be working at some more remodeling here at the house and so Logan and I are heading to my parent's place in Maryland for the week.

Tasty Tuesday: Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

These Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls are SO yummy. The pumpkin really isn't very noticeable in taste, but it makes them very moist. We absolutely loved these rolls!

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

ROLLS:
1/3 cup milk
2 Tbs butter
½ cup canned pumpkin or mashed cooked pumpkin
2 Tbs granulated sugar
½ tsp salt
1 large egg, beaten
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup bread flour

FILLING:
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbs melted butter

FROSTING:
¼ cup (4 Tbsp.) butter
½ cup brown sugar, packed
2 Tbs milk
¼ tsp vanilla extract
dash of salt
½ to ¾ cup sifted powdered sugar

1. Prepare rolls: In a small saucepan, heat milk and 2 Tbsp. butter just until warm (120 – 130°) and butter is almost melted, stirring constantly.

2. In large mixer bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar and salt. Add milk mixture and beat with an electric mixer until well mixed. Beat in egg and yeast. In a separate mixing bowl, combine flours. Add half of flour mixture to pumpkin mixture. Beat mixture on low speed for 5 minutes, scraping sides of bowl frequently. Add remaining flour and mix thoroughly (dough will be very soft). Turn into lightly greased bowl, then grease surface of dough lightly. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

3. Punch dough down. Turn onto floured surface. Knead a few turns to form a smooth dough, sprinkling with enough additional flour to make dough easy to handle. On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 12×10-inch rectangle.

4. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Brush surface of dough with melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar mixture. Beginning with long side of dough, roll up jelly-roll style. Pinch seam to seal. With a sharp serrated knife, gently cut roll into twelve 1-inch slices. Place rolls cut-side-up in greased 9-inch-square baking pan.

5. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.

6. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls about 20 minutes, or until golden. Remove from pan to waxed paper-lined wire rack. Cool 10 to 15 minutes.

7. While rolls are cooling, prepare icing: In small saucepan, heat butter until melted. Stir in brown sugar and milk. Stir in brown sugar and milk. Cool over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Transfer to a small mixing bowl and cool mixture slightly. Stir in vanilla, salt and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until well blended. If necessary, add more powdered sugar for desired consistency.

8. Drizzle icing over warm rolls.

Yield: 12 rolls

Cooking Tips
*If you’d like to begin preparing these the night before… Follow directions through step four, cover and refrigerate overnight. Take out in the morning and continue with step 5.
**If you’re lacking a warm place for rising, use your oven. Turn on the oven light. Then set your oven to 400 degrees for one minute. Turn it OFF and then place your pan inside the warmed oven. Make sure you have turned off your oven!
