Planning for the weekend and next week

Well the "big game" is this weekend, and while I like college football, I haven't watched one second of pro football. But that doesn't mean it isn't a good excuse to sit on the couch, eat too much, and drink some beer. Of course, I am not going to do any of that unless I can find it on sale. ;-)

So, based on the sales, I think I am going to have the following plan for Sunday and next week:
Sunday big game:
--velveeta and rotel dip with Mission Tortilla Chips (I was able to snag two $1 off 1 q's from their facebook page, so I may buy a couple and then I have the items I purchased last week)
--Guacamole (since the avocados went to 50 cents a piece after I bought a couple at $1 a piece!!!!)
--Hot dogs (Nathan's hot dogs are on sale B1G1) and buns (safeway buns are 99 cents)
--Hamburgers (we received some from DH's Grani from Omaha Steaks) and buns (hoping for a good Safeway deal)
--Shrimp and cocktail sauce (frozen cooked shrimp is $5.99 on Saturday)
--Probably will have in-laws bring some side dishes, so I am off the hook for that
--Beer (There was a good deal on Fat Tire, one of my Colorado favorites, last week, but not sure if they will still be on sale...)

During the week:
Spaghetti and meatballs with broccoli
Pork Chops with mushroom gravy, rice or spaetzle, green beans or carrots
Pizza (Digiorno is on sale and then I have a $1 off q to use by the 5th)
Something with Kielbasa/smoked sausage (Hillshire farm is on sale B1G1 and I have a $0.55 off q)
Meaty Mac and Cheese (this is the one I usually make and the kids like it - I put in cubed turkey ham and broccoli for a one-dish meal)

I will also be taking advantage of some sales (welch's grape juice, ice cream, cereals, strawberries...) so I will let you know how it works out! What are you planning for your Sunday?

Happy Shopping!
