Use your $10 savings at Kohl's!

If you have a Kohl's coupon for $10 off a purchase of $20 or more, you have until this Friday to redeem it! I used mine this evening and purchased a microfleece blanket at 60% off for $15.99! I also bought a ginger apple dissfuser reed and refill set at 50% off for $7.49 that I opened as soon as I got home. And, with an additional 20% off coupon, my total was under $12.00! I left Kohl's a happy customer.

Chicken Hawaiian

If you like bell peppers, pineapples, and chicken, you'll love this dish. It's tangy, slightly sweet, and simple to make.

Chicken Hawaiian

2 tbsp vegetable oil
6 to 8 pieces of chicken (drumsticks and thighs)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 10 3/4 oz can cream of chicken soup
1 20 oz can pineapple chunks (reserve juice)
Or 2 Cups fresh pineapple
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp soy sauce

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet. Add chicken and brown on both sides for 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside. Add garlic, onions, and bell pepper. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add soup, pineapples, juice, and brown sugar. Mix together. Add chicken and heat to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer about 20 to 30 minutes, or until sauce thickens. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Note: For a more colorful dish, use green, red, and yellow bell peppers. Drumettes, or pork or beef spareribs may be substituted for chicken.

Safeway's low-price item of the day

Today at Safeway, Dole fresh pineapples are $0.97 cents (limit 1). Since I was near a Safeway while en route to do some Christmas shopping, I bought one. You can't beat the price. I'm sure it'll be sweet and delicious.

Lucerne Eggs $0.49 Cents!

Today, only at Safeway, One Dozen Lucerne Large Eggs are $0.49 cents (limit 1). I saw this in the Safeway ad in today's Sunday newspaper. There's more good buys on other days this week, too. Too bad you can't get all the good deals at once.

Fresh Dole Pineapples on Sale at Luckys

If you love fresh pineapple like I do, then head over to Luckys. Dole Pineapples are two for $3.00. I bought one this evening and cut it right after I ate my dinner. It was delicious, fresh, and juicy. I usually let my pineapples sit on the counter for a few days, but I couldn't wait. I'll be back to Luckys for one (or two) more before the sale ends.

The Avenue's 40% Off Sale!

I went to The Avenue last Thursday evening after work to use my "30% off One Item" coupon. There were several items on sale, many at 40% off. I smiled when I saw the table of Zip It Tunic's on sale for $9.99! I love these sweaters because they're warm and cozy like a thermal blanket. At that price; I bought another one. I bought a gray Zip It Tunic at 40% off about three weeks ago, so I chose the green one this time. Wouldn't you know it? I went back to The Avenue this evening on the last day of the "40% Off Everything" sale and noticed three black Zip It Tunic's, one in my size! So, I purchased a black one at 40% off for a little over $16.00 with tax (regularly $24.90). Oh, I could have bought more, but I was happy with this purchase alone.

Charles Shaw Nouveau

If you like Charles Shaw Nouveau, then stock up! It'll be gone after the holidays. I recently went to Trader Joe's to get a few bottles. One worker told me, "if you like it, stock up because it'll be gone at the end of the year." And she said I should stock up if I like this year's Nouveau because it tastes different every year. With that said, I bought four bottles of the Charles Shaw Nouveau 2010. It's one of the best red table wines I've had. And, like all Charles Shaw wines, it's only $1.99. Happy Holidays!
