February 26, 9:30 am-at the Bayard Taylor Library in Kennett Square–appearing……….yours truly…me!

Yes, we finalized a date today on holding what will hopefully be the first of many couponing/frugal living sessions. I will post more details as I finalize everything, but during this first session I plan to cover two main things. The first portion will be coupon resources–how to read a coupon and where to find coupons. (I know this might seem basic, but some folks don’t realize the many, many options besides the Sunday paper.)

The bulk of the hour will be spent going over coupon policies for Acme, Giant and Superfresh, and learning how you can stack deals to maximize your savings.

Hope to see some of you there and I’ll post info on how to register once I get it.

Oh, and it’s FREE!

tearpads & peelies make my Acme trip better!

January 15, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

I was doing our weekly trip this morning, and since I already receive half of my Sunday paper today, I knew that there are no Kellogg’s coupons to be had. In other words, no point in waiting for my Sunday inserts (which I get on Mondays) to try to score some freebies. I just wanted milk, lunchmeat, produce and few other odds & ends.

Here’s what I found, and this is at the Avondale Acme, your store may vary.

Back by the milk there is an Oreo display with a tearpad on it. “Save $1 on ANY Nabisco cookies when you buy a gallon of milk.” Well, as it turns out, I had 3 gallons of milk in my cart. Over in the cookie aisle, the little containers of Nabisco cookies are $1.29, or now, $0.29 with the coupon.

In today’s (tomorrow’s) paper, there is a $1.50 off 3 Snyder’s flavored pretzels coupon. I love those stinkin things, but at upwards of $3.50 for a small bag, don’t buy them often. Ok, on sale for $2.50 per bag. With this coupon, down to $2 a bag when you buy 3, I was going to splurge. Then, in the cereal aisle–Crispix is a part of the Kellogg’s deal ($1.50 each when you buy 6). Crispix also happens to be one of my hubby’s favorite cereals and we don’t have any in the stockpile. Got 4 of those plus two other items to hit the 6. The Crispix boxes have peelies on them–“Save $1.50 on any pretzels when you buy 2 crispix.” Pulled 2 of the peelies off the boxes because I had 4 boxes–stuck the other 2 peelies in my binder.

So now that looks like this (keep in mind that Crispix is something I’d want to buy anyway–

3 pretzels=$7.50

Minus the two $1.50 peelies, $3
Minus the $1.50 coupon from today’s paper.

Brings the total down for my pretzels to $3, or $1 per bag. Seeing as I think these are usually 3.69/bag regular price, this is  a great deal!

Also lots of outdated meat with $2 and $3 peelies on it. Now I have to go make meatballs!

New Acme/Jewel/Osco sign up

January 14, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

This was in my weekly Acme ad. It’s a new signup for esavings. It says it’s good for all the stores in the Supervalu company. My Avenu savings are still online, though it has been revamped. I like this new look.

And, when I checked my Avenu, lots of Acme brand products. Combine them with the $2/$10 coupon for extra savings.

Acme ad, Jan 14-20

January 14, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

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!
