Cooking From My Stockpile : Shephard's Pie

I love Shephard's Pie and always have, but I'm terrible with making anything to do with gravy.  So I was so happy when I ran across this recipe the other day.  So this is what we are having for dinner tonight, all using items from our stockpile.  I'm making mashed potatoes from scratch using potatoes I got FREE at Publix several weeks ago (we cut them up and froze them).  Granted, I also have plenty of packets of instant mashed potatoes on hand that I could have used.

Shephard's Pie
1 bag mixed frozen veggies
1lb hamburger (or ground turkey or chicken)
1 lb potatoes (boiled and mashed) or mashed potatoes from a box
1 jar Heinz beef gravy
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup cheese (shredded or velveeta)

Brown the ground meat and onion.  Add the veggies and stir.  Cook for a couple of minutes to let the veggies thaw.  Add the gravy and mix.  Let simmer for about 5 minutes.  Pour it all in a casserole dish and top with mashed potatoes and cheese.  Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown.

Swiffer Deal at Walgreens This Week

I posted previously about the Swiffer deal at Walgreens that starts today, however I may have given wrong info (actually, I'm pretty sure I did).  Since the deal is Buy $10 worth of certain products (including the Swiffer refills) and get a $3 Register Reward, and the refills are on sale for 25% off (making them $4.49) you'd actually need to purchase more than just 2 of the refills to get the deal.

So here's my new plan (because I ordered some of the BOGO coupons).
You'll need 2 of the BOGO Swiffer refill coupons to make this deal work.

Buy 4 Swiffer Refills @ $4.49
-use 2 BOGO refill coupons
= 4/ $8.98
-get $3 Register Reward
(= 48 ct for $5.98) -

For the record the best non-sale/non-coupon price for Swiffer refills is at CostCo. They have the 48ct wet refills for around $12.??.  I'm not sure the price on the dry refills but I think it's even better than that.  Either way, this BOGO coupon is a great deal.

Kroger also has the Swiffer refills listed in their online ad this week for $6.99 (the ad says 2-32ct) so if you can actually get the higher count refills for this price and use the BOGO, this could be a pretty good deal as well (without the worry of Register Rewards).
