Breyers deal starts tomorrow @ Target too (make room in your freezer LOL!)

Target is running a deal starting tomorrow where you get a $5 Gift card if you purchase any 5 of the following items: Ben and Jerry’s pints, 24 ct popsicles, 6pk Klondike Bars or 1.5 qt Breyer’s ice cream. Here's how you work the deal. Buy 5 Breyers, use 5 $1 qs from 5/17 RP (Even better deal is the $1.50/1 q's from Family Is It's Own Reward booklet found at Publix), and pay 7.50 for 5 things of ice cream plus get the GC, net cost 50 cents per carton!!! (Thanks HCW!) This deal runs from 6/14 thru 6/20. (Breyer's is reported to be pricing @ 2.50 ea= 12.50-(5) $1/1 q = 7.50 and then get a $5 gift card!!!! Sweet!!)

Here are some storage solutions for you stockpilers from HCW. Amy--pay attention!:

Store-bought ice cream is ideally stored no longer than 1 month in its original container because its container is not moisture-vapor resistant. If stored longer than 1 month, it loses volume and the surface becomes waxy and sticky. The flavor may also change. If ice cream must be stored longer, over-wrap the container with freezer paper or plastic wrap.

Grainy, icy, or sandy texture is usually cased by temperature abuse as a result of a shipping or storage control problem. When ice cream thaws and refreezes, the lactose in the product crystallizes resulting in a grainy/sandy texture. While not harmful, it is unappetizing.

Ice cream may be “freshened” by beating with an electric mixture or food processor, adding just enough milk or cream to soften.
