possible unadvertised Quaker deal at Acme (Supervalu chain)

January 23, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

The other stores in the Supervalu chain (Albertson’s etc.) have a Quaker catalina deal going on right now. It is:

Catalina deal on Quaker products starting Friday, Jan. 21- Feb. 13:

Buy 2, get $1.00 off your next shopping trip

Buy 4, get $2.00 off your next shopping trip

Buy 5 or more, get $3.00 off your next shopping trip

And, our Acmes are advertising “save an add’l $3 when you buy 5 Quaker products…” And there are several coupons out right now for Quaker, including $1 off 1s. My little guys eat this, so I may try it this week. Those coupons came on a weekend when I didn’t get many inserts, so I’m not going crazy with it.

What year was Acme Markets founded?

January 22, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

And more importantly, why should you care? Today at Acme they were celebrating their 120th anniversary. And over the loudspeaker the CS person said “We’re celebrating our 120th anniversary today, the first person that comes up here and tells me what year Acme was founded wins a $10 gift card.”

I had just entered the store and was in dairy, near the CS desk. Did the math on my cell phone, and won $10.

They did similar questions twice more while I was there, so if you go, be listening. And they had contests for kids and freebie snacks all over the place.

Check the Kraft/Nabisco display, there are coupon booklets attached. And check the Goldfish for peelies.

Only 42% savings on my weekly trip this week–I always aim for 50%. But still under my budget.

smaller package sizes-Yoplait

January 21, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

I’ve blogged before about how annoying it is that manufacturers are shrinking package sizes and hoping we don’t notice. Yesterday I stopped in at Acme to get one more set of Nutri Grain bars (found some coupons!) and noticed this sign on their window-“Yoplait, 4.6 oz-$x.xx” I don’t remember what price they had listed.

Yogurt cups used to be 8 oz. Then they shrunk down to 6oz. Now, 4.6 oz! And the regular shelf price is anywhere from $0.75-$1.05. That’s ridiculous.

Some Acme matchups, Jan 21-27

January 20, 2011 by · 3 Comments

On Monday, I just did a bunch of clipping from all the inserts from 12/26 up to now, so if I’m referring to a coupon, it probably was received in papers during that time frame.

Back page, dollar items:
Gatorade, all items from the buy 2, get 1 coupon are included-so use it & pay 3 for $2

Betty Crocker cookie mix-use the $0.40 coupon and pay $0.20/pouch

Pillsbury-there are $1/2s out there, so pay $0.50/box

Zone bars-$0.55 coupon recently, FREE

Other items-front page-
Progresso soup, $1, use $1/4 and pay $0.75/can
Hamburger Helper-$1, always coupons out for this
Goldfish-$1, good price!
Del Monte Naturals-$1/3 coupon in 11/7 papers, pay $2 for 3

Select items-save $3 when you buy 5 items listed:
Quaker Oatmeal, Tropicana, Trop 50-2.99 each (before the savings)
Capn Crunch, Life, Aunt Jemima, Quaker Chewy-$2.49 before the savings
1.89 and 2.39 after the $3 savings
Some of these items have $1 off 2s out, reducing price by another $0.50, but no freebies that I can see

Inside flyer:
Dannon yogurt-10 for 6, use the recent coupon to pay $5 for 10
Coffee Mate-$2, always printables available for this

Meat-
Sign up at Hatfield meats to get several $1 coupons that correspond with what’s on sale, like the Simply Tender

Don’t feel like cooking? Use the $1 off any Culinary Circle items, from Acme booklet, and pay only 5.99 for a rotisserie chicken.

Snyder’s pretzels on sale for $2, use the $1.50/3

Nature Valley and Fiber One-on sale for $3 each, get a free case of water when you buy 4; always coupons out for these items

Ivory & Softsoap-$1 each, lots of coupons to go with these items

I’ll add more later if I have time.
