HEB's new Promo

HEB has made it a little harder to use the upcoming $10 OYNO coupon. They've made up some new rules to play by, making it more difficult to get the best deal. We buy $30 in P&G products and get a $10 coupon -supposedly for your next visit-but can't use it until 3/14! So, no more using a $10 coupon to do another deal. Another addition to this promo is, when it is time to use your coupon, your purchase must total $30 in order to use the $10 coupon. It seems that HEB has decided to become less generous all the way around.

On the plus side, there are still some very good deals that can be done and there is a rebate offer from P&G that I will be able to complete while doing this deal. I'm hoping that on the week of 3/14, HEB has some killer deals that I can use my $10 OYNO coupons on.

Update on Lisa (my niece)
She is making very steady progress at the rehab facility. She is receiving every kind of therapy available. PT, OT, ST,  etc. She will probably be transferred to another facility for about 2 weeks for more therapy to get her ready for home. Then she will be on her way home. My dear Sis writes an e-mail just about every evening giving us an update. Lisa is working very hard on walking. She continues to have memory loss, but again she is working very hard on this skill too.

Freezer Cooking-Recipe Hop-Easy Chicken Spaghetti

Darlin Dan just loves this recipe! It is super easy and I try to make double so I can always have some in the freezer! I thought I would contribute it the the Dishing it Up Recipe Hop!

Ingredients:
2 cups Cooked Chicken

3 cups Dry Spaghetti, Broken Into Two Inch Pieces
2 cans Cream Of Mushroom Soup
2 cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Finely Diced Green Pepper
1/4 cup Finely Diced Onion
2 cups Reserved Chicken Broth From Pot
1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1/8 teaspoon (to 1/4 Teaspoon) Cayenne Pepper(optional)
Salt And Pepper, to taste
1 cup Additional Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese

directions-
Cook 1 cut up fryer and pick out the meat to make two cups. (I usually use whatever chicken I have in the freezer. If I only have chicken thighs, then that's what I use. ) Cook spaghetti in same chicken broth until almost done.  Do not overcook. When spaghetti is cooked, combine with remaining ingredients except additional 1 cup sharp cheddar.

Place mixture in casserole pan and top with remaining sharp cheddar. Cover and freeze up to six months,  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until bubbly.
