Walmart: Chocolate Chips Clearance!

By Leave a Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.



At my Walmart on Sawdust, in the back where they have their clearance, last night they had a pallet full of Nestle Chocolate Chips, all kinds marked down to $1 a bag! Some of my bags of mini chips rang up at $.50! I make the kids cookies every Sunday afternoon, so for my food storage I figure I need about 52 bags of chips for the year, $1 is a GREAT price! I grabbed 30 bags, there must have been aboout 3,000 left!


For the past few years I have just stuck with the same two recipes for chocolate chip cookies. Either the Nestle Toll House one on the bag, or the Neiman Marcus recipe if I have to make a LOT of cookies. I thought I would try something new yesterday. I picked this one because I thought the combo of shortening and oil was a little different, since I only use real butter for cookies. They turned out really nice I think. They don’t spread out, they stay chunky and have a shortbread consistency. The kids and Paul gave two thumbs up.

Does anyone have any favorite Chocolate Chip cookies recipes you can post to share that I can try???

Ingredients:
1 Cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup shortening
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 t. vanilla
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 t. cream of tartar
2 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I used 1 cup Ghirardelli’s + 2 cups semi-sweet chips and 1 cup chopped pecans)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. I an a medium bowl , beat together white sugar, brown sugar, oil and shortening until smooth. Stir in eggs, and vanilla beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, stir into sugar mixture. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by big spoonfuls onto cookies sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 min. cool on sheet and remove.

HEB updated coupon policy.

By Leave a Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

Unfortunately, HEB is not super coupon friendly, if they ever jumped on the band wagon with Kroger there would be no competition, I would only ever shop at my HEB Market.


But, they do not combine coupons and they do not double or triple.

At my last coupon class one of the ladies pointed out to me that when you see the yellow hanging tags at HEB, a few of them have an “S” in the corner, meaning store coupon. You can actually combine a manufacturers coupons with these!! I had no idea, I though all their hanging coupons were manufacturers coupons! There are not many that have this, still 95% of the yellow coupons are manufacturers.

HEB emailed me their updates coupon policy yesterday:

Here are the details below, and you can find the full details here:


H-E-B accepts the following types of coupons:

  • Manufacturer issued coupons obtained from printed publications (newspaper, FSI, magazines, etc)
  • HEB Issued coupons
    • Manufacturer-sponsored coupons (Type M coupon; has an ‘M’ in bottom left corner)
    • Store-sponsored coupons (Type S Coupon; has an ‘S’ in the bottom left corner)
    • Big Savings coupons (Type B coupons; has a ‘B’ in the bottom left corner)
    • The above mentioned H-E-B issued coupons are typically
      • Available at store level and typically yellow in color
      • Generated by a coupon printer at the register and provided with customer receipt
      • Distributed via direct mail to customer households or other printed publications
  • Printable coupons with a bar code (i.e. Online or Internet coupons)
