Salmon Chowder

What to do with all the cheap Salmon we bought at Walgreens last week???( I still have rain checks to redeem!) Well, here's my favorite Salmon chowder recipe. My family LOVES it, this is one meal that everyone eats. I tweaked the original recipe a little bit by adding half and half instead of canned milk.

Salmon Chowder

14.5 oz can salmon
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 c chopped onion
1/2 c chopped celery
1/2 c chopped green pepper
3 T butter
1c diced potatoes
1c diced carrots
2 cans chicken broth
1t salt
1/2 t pepper
1/2 t thyme
10 oz package frozen peas
1 can cream corn
13 oz evaporated skim milk (I use 1/2 and 1/2 or cream)
minced parsley

Drain and flake salmon reserving liquid. Saute garlic, onion, celery, and green pepper in butter. Add potatoes, carrots, reserved salmon juice, chicken broth, and seasonings. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables are nearly tender. Add peas, cook 5 minutes. Add flaked salmon, corn, and milk. Heat through. Sprinkle with minced parsley.

This is a recipe from a good friend of my sister. ENJOY!

Walgreens

Here's my 1st Walgreens shopping trip this week. I threw together some deals, so they may not be the greatest, but I needed everything and the prices were great. I didn't want to spend the week running around to 5-6 different Walgreens trying to get what I wanted like I did last week, so I'm pretty happy that the 1st store I went to had everything I planned to buy today. Here's the breakdown.

Transaction #1
2 Tylenol Cold $4.99 ea $9.98
2 Stride gum $ .65 ea (I only needed 1)

Look for the Orbit or Eclipse gum on clearance and pair it with the $1/2 coupon in the March coupon book. Of course, I grabbed the Stride thinking it was the right one and looked silly when the coupon wouldn't scan!!!

I should have switched the order of tranaction 2 and 3 for lower out of pocket, but I was so happy just to find everything in stock!

Excellent Vons(Safeway) deal!

**Edited to add this promo ended On Tuesday March 2nd. Sorry, I forgot to include this in the original post!
Okay, this is an AWESOME Vons (Safeway) deal!! First go here to P & G esaver and load the $3 Charmin and the $3 Bounty coupon to your Vons (Safeway) card. If you're not already signed up, you have to sign-up on the website, its super simple. Then you need to buy the 24 roll Charmin and the 12 Roll Bounty, each should be marked $12.99 in your store. They are part of the mix and match promo which was advertised in the Sunday supplement. So, they will ring up at $12.99 ea ( mine actually rang up at $15.99 and $16.99) for a total of $25.98, your $3 eq's will come off when you scan your shopper card or type in your phone # then when the cashier hits total the mix and match price will come off. So, here's how it reads on my receipt:

Bounty $16.99
Card Save $7
ecoupon $3
$9.99
Charmin $15.99
Card Save $6
ecoupon $3
Total 15.60 ($1.62 is tax)

BUT here's the AWESOME deal. After it's all done a $10 off your next order Catalina will print-YAHOO!!! So, $5.60 for a big package of Paper towels and toilet paper is a Sa-weet deal! You can only use the e-coupons 1 time, but it works for me!

Note: this is part of the P & G buy $25 get $10 back, because the items ring at full price first, that's how you hit the $25 mark. I have not seen these adverstised as part of the promo, but they are obviously P & G items, my point is, if your cat. doesn't print it could be a major headache. So, make sure the green light is on the cat. machine before you check out.

THANK YOU SD!
