| Fiber One Toaster Pastry* | $2.39 | $1.50 | $0.75 | FREE |
| Scott Paper Towels | $1.99 | $1.00 | $1.00/4 | $3.00/4** |

*Forgot to take a picture of this
**Coupon didn’t double, but I didn’t notice until later and didn’t think it was enough to hassle over :)
Total of Transaction 2 before sales & coupons = $49.86
Total of Transaction 2 after sales, coupons, $15 Catalina from T1, tax & “green bags” –> $11.82, and the $15 didn’t print out, so I went to Customer Service and they just credited my card the $15 which is way better than having Farm Fresh money!
So total of the day before sales & coupons = $96.29
Total after everything (including the $15 credit) = $8.42! I mean get real! That’s a savings of $87.87 or 91%!!
TARGET DEALS…
Right now at Target, all the Halloween candy is 75% off, making everything SUPER cheap! If you think you need more candy, then head over for this great deal (it might even go cheaper the longer you wait). I know I said we only had 3 trick-or-treaters and a ton of left over candy, but it was all chocolate stuff and Luke really likes the fruity kinds (so I got him a present!). I thought I could use these chocolates for cookie baking since Thanksgiving/Christmas is coming up fast!
- Sour Patch/Swedish Fish - $6.99 –> $1.74
- Hot Tamales/Mike & Ike - $6.99 –> $1.74
- Starburst/Skittles - $6.99/ea –> $1.74 x 2 = $3.48
- Hershey’s Kisses - $6.99/ea –> $1.74 x 2 = $3.48
- Reese’s - $4.79/ea –> $1.19 x 2 = $2.38
- M&M’s - $2.99/ea –> $0.74 x 8 = $5.92
- Used 4 $1/2 coupons –> $1.92
Original total = $75.44
Total after coupons & sale = $14.74!
Wow, now that’s a STEAL…That’s a savings of $60.70 or 80%!! I also noticed that I missed a Starburst/Skittles coupon where I could’ve saved $2 more. So make sure you stock up on your Target Qs before heading over for your deals!

My doctor cousin Jason busted out his stethoscope for us to hear baby boy’s heart beat!! It was pretty quiet though (ole Trix’s 51 year old ears didn’t work for her :) ), but Jen, Laura & I heard it!

Hot Chocolate Recipe
I don’t know if any of you enjoy some Starbucks Hot Chocolate during the cold days, well I decided to look for a copycat recipe since I’m a Money Saving Mom and all, and I think this one’s pretty good :)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp cocoa
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- whipped cream (optional)
- chocolate shavings (optional)
Directions:
- Mix water, cocoa, and sugar in a glass measuring cup. Stir well.
- Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes to make chocolate syrup, watch closely so chocolate doesn’t overflow.
- Stir in milk and vanilla and microwave until warm.
- Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Enjoy!
Halloween
My dad posted on Facebook that they had 179 trick-or-treaters this year….well we had a whopping 3 kids, and they’re our next door neighbors. Looks like we’ll have a lot of candy to snack on for a while!
After we figured the trick-or-treaters were done, we headed over to Drew & Rachel’s house to hang out with them and their Austin buddies for the UT game (and some Ticket to Ride action).
