Dollar General-some clearance and matchups

Thanks to kimandkathess on hcw for these finds:

Listerine pocket paks on clearance for 1.25, use the $1 coupon from recent papers and there are printables available.
Tide stain release on clearance for $2, use the $1 coupon from the P&G inserts. I think I’m going to go get these, I hear they really work.

Don’t forget the $1 boxes of valentines I told you about.

And Olay body wash is still $2, use your $2 coupons if you still have them.

Acme ad, Jan 14-20

I got my ads today. I don’t have time to do a whole bunch of matchups, but it’s a start. And I’ll post this entry on hcw when I’m done and I’m sure some will add to it, if it’s not already there. Here’s what stands out to me:

Kellogg’s/Keebler deal: lots of the usual items listed, then “save $6 instantly when you buy 6 items in a single transaction.” I’m assuming that this means that the sale price listed of $2.50 per item will then drop to $1.50 per item, minus any coupons on top of that. I haven’t checked the insert previews for this weekend, but hopefully some will come along to accompany this deal. I really need Nutri Grain bars! And if we get some good $0.75 coupons like Cinnabon stuff, free!

Campbells soup: $0.39, and I’m pretty sure there are $1/3 coupons out right now. Or better.

Colgate; $1, I’m positive there are coupons out right now to make this free.

Acme bacon: bogo at 6.99, combine two packs of bacon with another $3 item, use the $2 off $10 coupon in Acme booklets near front of store.

Green Giant veggies: $1, use the $0.60/3, yours will be $0.60/box.

Tabasco: $1, there are usually $0.50 coupons out for this=free. We like the green one.

GM cereals: on sale 2 for $5, free box of Nature Valley granola bars when you buy 2 boxes of cereal. You may still be able to stack a Nature Valley coupon, plus whatever GM cereal coupons apply for big savings. We haven’t had Honey Nut Cheerios in a while, so I’ll get some as they are included.

L’oreal: catalina deal, $5 back when you spend $20. Remember–shelf/knockdown price is used to get to spending threshold, then pay sale price minus any coupons. Lots of L’oreal coupons out there right now.

Meat & Potatoes: back page lists several types of roasts on sale, then has a coupon for free items when you buy said roast. Don’t forget the $1 Lancaster brand coupon in Acme booklet (Front of store) or check the Hatfield website.

Can sale: lots of canned goods at good prices, if you need them, on back page. I know there are lots of corresponding coupons-chef boyardee, hunts, college inn broth, etc.

Wisk: front page, 7.99. Aren’t there $3 coupons out for this?

At a quick glance, that’s all I see. I just did this in 14 minutes!

Preview of next week’s CVS ad

I meant to get there this morning, but of course didn’t. Running late again. I will get there at least to do the Pepsi deal–I have $1 insert coupons for the Frappucino and the $1 Gatorade is included. *And* the Pepsi deal is running again next week, but under a new number, which means a new deal. So if you do it, you can roll the $10 ECB into next week’s deal. My plans are Pepsi deal, then roll that into Pampers. Roll that one into Pepsi again next week. Then Hubby should be set with Gatorades for lunch for a while.

Anyway, some highlights of the new ad:

Thanks to GeorgiaPeaches for doing the matchups.

got cold feet?

My feet are always cold. I know part of it is because we have all tile & hardwoods throughout our house, but I hate having cold feet. I’ve tried lots of different cozy socks–started out with Totes Toasties when they came out, then went to the Life is Good slipper socks. Then I found these:

And they are only $1 per pair at Kmart! They’re Joe Boxer brand, and better than others I’ve tried. I’ve had mine for several weeks, so they’ve been through the laundry several times and have held up well. The rubbery gripper things on the bottom stay grippy. Is that a word? Well, you know if you’ve purchased the Totes Toasties, after a few washes, they’re just like any other sock. Not a slipper sock.

On clearance right now at the Pike Creek location. I hope I can get more before they sell out.
