Start clipping! 20/5 GM deal starts tomorrow

Tomorrow starts a new ad at Acme, and a new catalina deal. Spend 20 on GM products, get $5 oyno. As always, should work on shelf prices. *Warning* Since I last posted deals like these, we couponers have realized that knockdown prices at Acme count at the knockdown price number, not shelf price.

Here is the list of participating items, credit given where credit is due.

So start clipping those GM coupons from last weekend. Then go shop! Get your total up to $20 using shelf prices, then start subtracting. You’ll pay sale price, minus any coupons, then receive $5 back.

If you like those fruit thingys, there are double dip deals on those. If you buy five of them, you should receive two catalinas.

Good luck & happy couponing!

Happy New Year!

Wow! I haven’t posted in about six months, and for that I apologize. I certainly didn’t mean to disappear without a trace. Having two little ones is quite a bit to handle, so that knocked me on my ass–ha ha.

I read somewhere that most new bloggers only last six months before giving it up, but if you do it for two to three years, you’re in it for the long haul. So I want to give it another shot. I’m going to try to commit to two or three posts a week.

For this week, three things to consider:
1. Tomorrow will be a huge coupon insert day. If you’ve been slacking on clipping and collecting, this is a good weekend to recharge. Ask your friends & neighbors for theirs too.

2. Until Thursday it’s triples at Superfresh. A few freebies to be had, but not much. But you may want to check it out.

3. Until Thursday there is a spend 25 get 10 Procter & Gamble deal at Acme. As always, the $25 is based on shelf prices, not sale prices, and the catalina rolls.

4. New month started yesterday–so hit those printable sites if you haven’t already.

I guess I had 4 tips for today.

Happy couponing!

potential strike at Acme

It appears that within the next week or two, Acme workers will go on strike. I’m on the fence about how I feel about crossing picket lines. Overall I’m not a huge fan of labor unions anyway, but I don’t want my usual cashiers to see me and give me even more hassle over coupons.

And, I talked to one of the employees and he said it probably will affect the warehouse. Hence the store will be probably be poorly stocked anyway.

I’ve been finding decent deals at Superfresh lately, so I’ll keep my eye on them. And I guess I’ll go to Giant if I have to. That new store in Jennersville is much too big. And they only double one coupon which is annoying.

Acme ad-May 1-7

Proctor & Gamble deal coming….

Buy $20, get $5 oyno. Also, there appears to be a bonus–save an add’l $3 wyb $20 worth of participating P&G products.

As has happened in the past, it should be working on shelf prices. Unfortunately, if you have any current P&G coupons, they expire 4/30, but we’re getting new ones this weekend. So stay tuned for more info……
