Albertsons Trip 07April09

Justin decided that he wanted my Mexican Taco Pizza for dinner, so I had to run to the store for some supplies.

Albertsons was doubling coupons up to $1.00, so I was fortunate enough to save some extra money.

What I Got:
Saltine crackers
Daisy brand sour cream
Pizza crust
Head of lettuce
Chips Ahoy Cookies

Coupons I had:
$0.40 off Daisy sour cream (doubled to be $0.90 off)
$0.55 off Pillsbury pizza crust (doubled to be $1.10 off)

I also used one of the $5.00 catalinas I got from the Post transactions.

My total savings was $10.08, which was an 89.6% savings! My total out-of-pocket for dinner was $1.17. I'm pretty happy with that. The Chips Ahoy cookies were a last-minute impluse buy for Aurora since she had been good all day. Had I not bought those, I would have only paid $0.17 out of pocket.

Easy recipe for Mexican Pizza:

What you'll need:
1lb ground beef
pizza crust
taco bell taco seasoning (or another brand, taco bell is just the best tasting, in my opinion)
lettuce
tomatoes
taco sauce/salsa
sour cream
mexican blend shredded cheese

What you do:
Bake pizza crust as directed on the packaging.
While it's baking, brown 1lb ground beef. Add in Taco Bell taco seasoning as directed on package.
Mix together sour cream and salsa together to taste. I usually mix a half cup of each.
When the crust is done, spread the sour cream/salsa combination on the crust.
Add ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese.
Drizzle salsa (or sour cream/salsa mixture) over the toppings.
Bake in oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
