Chin Dripping, Golden Buttery Goodness!

For those of us living in Sun Prairie, it's the annual tradition at the end of every summer to hit Corn Fest. It was started years ago to celebrate the successful harvest and productivity of our local canning company (which is now gone) and continues to this day thanks to the local chamber of commerce.

A craft show, petting zoo, live entertainment, carnival rides, games, pitches from the local non-profit agencies all add up to a colorful backdrop for the main event: steamed in the husk sweet corn!

You buy a tote for $6...enter the corn shed and then fill it with 8-10 ears of hot corn which you promptly take to a table and shuck. After that you visit the 'butter gals' who roll it in sweet Wisconsin butter and you step outside to the salt trees. NOW, you are ready to "hit the hill" where everyone sits to eat, as the live stage has constant entertainment to annoy you. ;)

Notice Sarah enjoying hers? It's the first time she ever had corn on the cob. Did she like it? Her answer was: "Sure".

My Walgreen's run this week -- I got everything for $4.12 cash out of pocket !!

See the price on the post-its? They are $5 and I got everything else for FREE!!

Start with their sales special where you spend $25 and get a $5 Register Reward...that total was BEFORE your coupons and RR from a previous week came off! I matched sales items (scissors B1G1, .49 for Mandarin Oranges, $1.99 for Spam, $.69 for Mac N Cheese, .49 for pencil sharpener, $1.99 for Motts Apple sauce) with coupons, ($1 off Velvetta Cups and in store coupons for $.25 off each, $.50 off Mac N Cheese, $1 off Mott's Applesauce 6 packs, $1 off SPAM, $1 off the Softsoap) and used my $17 Register Rewards from last week.

I ended up with $10 in Register Rewards when I was done...to use THIS week on the new flier - Woo-Hoo!
