Notes:
*There were some manufacturers coupons in Sunday's Oregonian to Save $1.50 when you buy any 3 bags of Hershey's, Reese's, or Cadbury Candy 8-oz. or larger. (Coupon expires 4/12/2009)
**We like to keep lots of boxes of brownie mix on hand. They are great for a quick FHE refreshment or whenever somebody remembers (the morning or night before) that they have to bring a treat somewhere.
***We've found that it is kind of hit-and-miss with strawberries this time of year (usually from California or Mexico) we had some good ones in Utah over spring break. Nothing beats locally grown and handpicked berries in June. But this can be a good Easter-season treat, especially with angel food cake and whipped cream.
****There was a 'an additional 10% off' coupon for housewares, etc. in Sunday's Fred Meyer ad. Other sizes are also on sale. We are taking advantage of this price (and coupon) for our daughter who will need sheets for college next fall.
*****You must spend $25 on your bill BEFORE the cost of the ham. See coupon for details.
