Banana Split Cake Recipe

Banana Split "Cake" recipe

This is one of my absolute favorite summer recipes!  I plan on making this for my family and a few friends during the 4th of July Holiday.  Enjoy!

Ingrediants:

9 Honey Maid Honey Grahams, crushed (about 1 1/2 Cups)
1 C. Sugar, divided
1/3 C. butter, melted
2 pkg. (8 oz each) Cream Cheese, softened
1 can (crushed) Pineapple in juice, drained
6 bananas, sliced
2 pkgs. (3.4 oz each) Jello vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
2 Cups cold milk
2 cups thawed cool whip topping, divided
1 C. chopped pecans

Directions:

Mix crumbs, 1/4 C. sugar and butter, and press into the bottom of a 13x9 inch pan.  Freeze for 10 min.
Beat cream cheese and remaining sugar with mixer until well blended.  Spead carefully over crust; top with pineapple.  Slice 4 bananas and arrange over the top of the pineapple.

Beat pudding mixes with milk with whisk for 2 minutes until well blended.  Stir in 1 c. cool whip; spread over banana layer in pan.  Top with remaining Cool Whip.  Refridgerate for 5 hours.  Slice the remaining 2 bananas just before serving; arrange over dessert.  Top with nuts.

Enjoy!

End of the month Coupons

It's the end of the month...  Which means that all of the coupons that are on the coupon websites will dissappear!  So, go ahead and print any that you haven't printed yet.  We'll be seeing a lot of new coupons on the first of July!

A couple of good price matching deals you can use at Walmart this week...



Each week when I make out my grocery list, I always have a price-matching section of my list.  Here are a few good prices that I found while going through my sales papers this week.  Price-matching always saves me the hassle of having to run to 6 different stores to get all of the best deals.  This works on everything except the ECB, RR, and Up bucks offers...  For those, you need to go to the stores themselves, because Wal-mart wont match them.

Rite Aid:

Edy's MAXX Ice cream, one pint 2/$5
Cereal- (Frosted Flakes, Raisin Bran, Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Froot Loops, Rice Krispies) $1.99- ( get coupons @ Kelloggs.com)
Jet Puff Marshmellows $.99- use $.20 off coupon/2 found in this Sunday's paper
Xtra Laundry Detergant (68-75oz) $1.99

Walgreens

Blue Bell Ice Cream- 64 oz.  $3.99
Angel Soft Toilet Tissue- 9 Big rolls- $4.00
Chicken of the Sa Tuna- $.55 each
Campbell's Chicken soup- ChickenNoodle or Tomato- coupons at Campbells.com
Kraft Mayo/Miracle Whip (30 oz)- $2.49- use $1.00/2 coupon found in last Sunday's paper making them $1.99 each
Sun Laundry Detergent- 75 loads- $2.99
Dawn Dish Detergent- 10.3 oz.- $.99
** Bounty Paper Towels- 6 rolls- $4.99- use $1.00 off coupon from last weeks paper making them $3.99 each

KMart

Lay's Potato Chips $1.88 each
Suddenly Pasta Salad $1 (use $.50/2 coupon that was in the Sunday Paper a few weeks ago, making them $.75 each/WYB 2)
hamburger Helper $1 (use $.75/3 coupon, making them $.75 each, when you buy 3)
Betty Crocker Cake Mix $1 (use $.75/2 coupon- making them $1.25 for 2)
General Mills Cereal- (Variety) 5 for $10... $2 each... (use coupons!)

Target

Breyer's Slow Churned Icecream- $2.99
Heinz Ketchup- $1.99 (40oz.) (use $.50/1 coupon from a few weeks back)

These are just a few of the many deals this week.  All of these can be price matched at Walmart, to prevent you from running all over town.  Good luck!


$1 off Cream of Wheat with Wal-mart Scenario...



My kids love cream of wheat...  It's bestserved on a cold and chilly morning.  Living on the Gul Coast, it'll be a while before i have a morning like that.  but, I will still grab a box with this $1 off coupon and put it in the pantry until the weather is perfect!

Cream of Wheat- $3.48 at Wal-mart everyday
Score a box for $2.48!

Food Giant changes their Coupon Policy

Just a little "heads-up" to my Gulfport Couponers... 

Food Giant changed their Coupon Policy last week...  Instead of Doubling coupons up to $.60,  they now only double up to $.50...  I know, I know- I was dissappointed too!  But, don't worry.  It still makes for some great deals.  You just have to keep your eyes on those sale papers!

Couponer banned from Wal-mart for LIFE!

I came across this vieo earlier this evening...  A couponer was banned from Wal-mart for life.
Click the link below to watch the video:

This, is why it is so important to know your coupon policies for the stores in which you shop.  Its also extremely handy to have those coupon policies printed out and in your coupon binder.  And it's also very important to be nice and polite to the cashiers!!!  In a lot of cases, you may know more about there coupon policies than they do.  But, there is no need to argue.  Simply, pull out your copy of the coupon policy and show them.  If you have that coupon policy right in front of you, that stops all arguments in their tracks.  And for goodness sake, don't video a confrontation!!! :)

I definately think that this lady was wrong.  These are the people who give us couponers a bad name with stores-  and this is the reason that so many stores are beginning to change their coupon policies.
Most stores and cashiers are extremely helpful to couponers.  Remember the saying...  You catch a lot more flies with honey than vinegar!
