Cereal story for you, our 15 year old son at the time was eating. Cereal one morning,hubby realizes he has eaten an entire box of cereal, he lays down the law! From now on son you get one bowl of cereal have fruit or something with it, son says ok Dad! Next morning hubby goes into the kitchen, there sits Jason with the largest mixing bowl I owned eating his one bowl of cereal! Hubby laughs and say You got me Kid!

Thanks Jennifer, I too love grocery shopping with coupons. My youngest daughter is very knowledgeable on fitness. She works out daily, looks amazing even when pregnant. She tells me keep moving as much as possible & drink a gallon of water daily. Her motto is, water is everything. My very fav food is the traditional Thanksgiving meal. Take care. 🦃

I’m going to do a haul in a couple of days for another small turkey which will be the second small turkey this season to bake and debone for the freezer.( our Thanksgiving Turkey is a large one) I’ve already stocked well for the holidays but I continue to grab the good deals. I think we share this awesome trait. The burgers looked scrumptious!

Hi Jennifer, super easy turkey. This is what i do and it works every time, I just rub butter and herbs under the skin and allover the outer skin of the bird then I just fill the cavity with apples, celery, onions and oranges. I put it in a turkey bag and put it breast side down the turkey turns out moist and it's super easy
@sarahlarson10822 ай бұрын
Same here. The turkey turns out great and my family eats turkey once a year! The leftovers are just as tasty as the original bird.
@acountrylife2 ай бұрын
I love that idea and it sounds amazing. All the directions always say to bake breast side up and I always think to myself that breast side should result in juicier breast meat. Sounds like you've tested this and it's true.

Meijer ( I’m in Michigan ) has turkeys for .49 a pound and if you use their mperks, it’s .39 a pound. I got a good size turkey for just under $5.00 and another one for around $6.00 for our deep freezer to enjoy in March.

If I'm going to cook one anyways why not make the biggest one and have leftovers to eat and/or freeze. Loving fresh cranberries this time of years. Love watching your videos. We have a lot in common and I also may learning for you also. My mother and mother- in- Love have both passed so it nice to learn from someone just a little bit farther down the life path then me.

That is how I shop. Stay stocked and buy the deals. I get the issue with digital deals. We have Kroger. I have issues with their app. Sometimes the coupons will show if I log in on my computer but not show them on app. You also have to watch that you do not have another coupon...it will take a lesser amount coupon off and not give you digital deal. Other times it will take off all coupons. Always check your receipt!!

They never go through even when Customer Service does it for me. I really wish they were eliminated. They are more time & trouble than it's worth.
