This one has to be my husbands new favorite.
One pack of chicken breast (aprox 1-2lbs)
One box of Stove Top
One can of cream of mushroom soup
additional fresh mushrooms if you like
Cheese
Take your chicken and rinse it and cut it into halves and use a mallet to flatten it out.
Cook the box of Stove Top in the microwave per the directions.
Place 1-2 TBS of the stuffing on the chicken, top with 1-2 tsp of cream soup any mushrooms and cheese.
Use a toothpick to close the chicken as best as you can. You will form a pocket or a taco.
Repeat with remaining chicken. Put all stuffed chicken pieces in a cassarole dish. I usually put a dollop of the cream soup on the bottom and spread it out.
Once you place the chicken in the dish cover it with the remaining cream soup and stuffing. Top with a sprinkle of cheese and bake in a 350 degree oven for aprox 30 minutes.

Realistic Couponing Is NOT Extreme
What is realistic couponing? Well it is NOT extreme couponing. It is the type of couponing that is based off of saving money realisticly on items that most people use. When I post a deal it will have no more than three coupons used and it will be a rarity if something is totally free. My general goal is to save AT LEAST 30% off of my grocery bill. Anything more is a bonus. Some weeks it is easier to do than others.
I do stock up. I do not stockpile stuff or coupons. I buy what I consider a three-six month supply at MOST on only a few items. Canned goods such as soups, tomatoes, tomato sauce I will buy a lot of because I use these items more. I also buy hygeine items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant and such in larger amounts if it is on sale. But again, I know these items are going to be used.
It is okay to stock up on items that you use. Just do it realistically. I will post some tips later on about how you can plan this out a little more so you are not stockpiling things uselessly. By planning and doing some light pantry stockpiling when things go on sale you should see your grocery bill go down weekly and you will find that meal planning will be easier as well.
Yes, it will require a little bit of work on your part. But once you get used to it it will be second nature. Also, once you have the satisfaction of your grocery bill going down on a regular basis you will feel accomplished!
