Savings Tip and Dirt Recipe

So, I have been saving quite a bit of money lately because one, I have been down with surgery and two there really hasn't been that many earth shattering deals going on out there. So today, I did need to pick up a prescription for my daughter and some things to make a dessert for my son's football banquet on Thursday. So, instead of just going to the store, I start to think of how I can make the least amount of money come out of my pocket and I came across Walgreen's deal where if you transfer a prescription, you will receive a $25 gift card, so that is what I did. While at Walgreens I picked the ingredients that I needed for the dessert and of course, some items we didn't need since I had Jaise with me!!! Here is what we got:

One gallon of milk

One package of Oreo Cookies

One package of Gummy Worms

One package of Reese's Cups (didn't need)

Two bottles of nail polish (didn't need)

3 mailing bubble envelopes

One Prescription

One bag of pretzels

One 12 pack of pop

2 cans of soup

One refillable package of baby wipes

All of this came to $32 and I paid $7 OOP. I was pretty happy with that. Now, aren't you wondering what I am making with some of those items on my list? We have to make a dessert and my son loves the famous Dirt Cake so here is the recipe:

1 1/2 stick oleo softened

1 (8oz) package of cream cheese

1 cup powdered sugar

3 1/2 cups milk

2 (3oz) Instant Vanilla Pudding

1 (12oz) cool whip

1 (20oz) Oreo cookies

1 package of gummy worms

In one bowl combine oleo, cream cheese and powdered sugar. In another bowl stir together milk, pudding. Mix two bowls together. Stir in thawed cool whip. Crush oreo's using a blender or food processor. Layering: Pudding 1/2 inch, then oreo cookies so you don't see pudding underneath. Repeat until gone. chill for 3-4 hours. Top with Gummy worms (so they are coming out of the dirt).
