Great Deals and Great Food

First let me say that I love The Grocery Game. The small cost every two months is so worth it because of how much money you save. Yes it takes a little time, but not as much as if you were to do all the work yourself. Here is an example...
Today I spent: 116.46
I saved: 95.93
I got: 16.00 coupons for next time I'm shopping (they spend like money at which ever store you got them)
I'm also getting: 15.00 in rebates on a Walgreens gift card

I wish I would have taken a picture of everything I got so that you could get the full affect. It is sooooo exciting when you see the receipt that says you saved more than you spent!! Even better when you know that you are getting a rebate for more that you paid (that happened today at Walgreens!)
If you decide to give it a try you can use if for a month for $1. If you decide to sign up I would greatly appreciate the referral credit. Add a comment and I will be happy to give you my email for you do enter as the referral.

Now onto the food! I love making chili and soup when it's cold outside...and it was definately cold today :) Anyway, I noticed a recipe for White Chicken Chili on the side of a can of Bush's Best Navy Beans. I had some turkey left over that we had frozen after cooking a bird for the holidays so I decided to use that instead of chicken. It was fantastic!!!

Here is the recipe with my change in italics.

White Chicken Chili

3 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped (i used half an onion)
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies, drained (i didn't drain them, there wasn't very much liquid)
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground cumin
2 cans (16 oz) Bush's Navy or Great Northern Beans
1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
1 1/2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken breast (i used turkey)
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
Sour cream (optional)
Salsa (optional)

In large skillet, cook onion in oil for 4 minutes or until transparent. Add chilies, flour and cumin; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add beans and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 10 minutes or until thickened. Add chicken; cook until hot. Garnish with cheese, sour cream and salsa, if desired.


I used cheese and sour cream and it was perfect for a cold winter day! I hope you try it and enjoy!
