Corned Beef Reuben Sandwiches Yum!

Food, Uncategorized
I'm a huge fan of Reuben sandwiches.  It all started about 5 years ago where I had a very good one at a restaurant near my work and I started to looking for other good Reuben sandwiches. Thanks to Redemption Unlimited ladies for mentioning that corned beef is $1.49 lb at Giant this week.   I got a 5 lb brisket for under $8.  That right there is the cost of 1 sandwich at a nice restaurant here in the NOVA area.   I made this recipe for the brisket and then I made this recipe for cabbage, potatos and carrots.   Wow!  This is amazing.  My husband wants another sandwich right now.  I better go make it. I updated my version a little bit. Crockpot version Ingredients 1 5 lb corned beef…

Does anyone know of places that sell bulk food?

Food, Uncategorized
I was just reading MoneySavingMom.com's post about her shopping trip this week and purchasing Bulk food from a local store that just sells bulk food at great prices.  I'm super excited about this because in some cases it is a lot cheaper and healthier. Do you know of a store in the Washington metro area (Northern Virginia, DC, or Maryland) that sells bulk food? I did a little research and found a place in Harrisonburg, Virginia http://grandmaspantryva.com that is a couple hours away.   The prices are really good.  A great stockpiling place!  I’m curious of the cost of shipping. “Sucanat, Natural – priced per Pound” $1.69 Unrefined Sugar – (Demerara) – Priced per Pound $1.39 Occident Flour – Unbleached – Priced per Pound $0.69 Anybody purchased from them before?

Food, Harris Teeter, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
I needed milk and I really wanted to go to Harris Teeter for the last day of super double coupon event.  Thanks to my wonderful couponizer I did have several coupons that I could use to make the trip well worth my while. Here is a neat hint in the front of the store most Harris Teeter stores will have a clearance setup.  This store had a lot of medicine but a lot of it was expired!!! Oops!! Not even sure if they are allowed to sell expired medicines.  Anyway, always check you never know what deals you might find. I don't have everything in the picture because I put all of the yogurt and milk away.  Did you stop at Harris Teeter?  What did you get? 3 - Comtrex…
