Thanks so much to my sorority sister from college posting this on the York site. In addition to that posting which has driven traffic here, I know my friend Barbara and her friends read too. Besides Giant, let me know what other stores you have and I’ll keep my eyes peeled for deals!
Budweiser BBQ sauce catalina
July 25, 2010 by · 2 Comments
Hubby is making chimichurri for dinner tonight w/skirt steak, needed a few ingredients. “I’ll go!” I yelled, half out the door with my coupon binder.
Headed to the Kennett Giant……..only to find………all the Budweiser BBQ sauce gone! I found a shelf clearer! But it’s not someone from this blog, as I had just posted it. Ok, no biggie.
Headed to West Grove Giant. Five bottles left. Picked up the produce items I needed, paid $5.98, got $12.50 back in catalinas! Woo hoo, it works, definitely works.
I didn’t buy 7 to get the gas deal, but that’s low priority for me. If I can make $1.50-$2 per bottle, definitely going to stop in a few times this week. Will keep a few then probably donate the rest to the food pantry or wait until next food drive at hubby’s work.
Yes, I shelf clear. You’ll hear lots of different opinions about this on the various coupon sites. I see no problem with it. Not my responsibility to make sure there is enough product there for the next customer behind me. If a store isn’t adequately stocked for a sale, be mad at them, not the shelf-clearer. You wouldn’t think twice about taking the last two boxes of cereal you’re paying full price for, why should taking the last two BBQ sauce that are free be any different. Sure I was disappointed that one store was out, but that’s just a part of it. Sometimes you get the great deals, sometimes you miss out. There will always be other deals.
I have the $1/2 coupons for this product, so I’m paying $0.50 for each bottle, getting $2.50 back.
This deal is also working at Weis, but I do not know what the price is.
This week’s ads
June 24, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
I got my new batch of supermarket ads in the mail yesterday. Today while the boys were napping I had a chance to look them over–
Acme–Going to be skipping Acme this week, not much there. The only good deal that would be worth stopping for is the Gold Peak Tea. It’s 3 for $5, or 1.67 each. But it’s already a part of the 5/5 dairy promo, so when you buy 5, you’ll get $5 back. So a container of the Tea for $0.67. I really like this tea and normally would do it, except that I have about 4 cases of free snapple in my basement and my fridge is stuffed with free yogurt-no room for the tea. I’ll sit this one out.
Giant-the new Giant ad doesn’t start until Sunday, so over the weekend I’ll be looking at it closer since there are some gas deals. You have until Saturday to do the Hersheypark deal. I’ve looked at what is on sale and what coupons I have, and I can’t get lower than about $35 oop for $60 worth of stuff. After sending in the $20 rebate, it would be $15 for $60 worth of stuff, plus the savings of about $150 at Hersheypark….still mulling it over. I’m doing the savings challenge and only have $100 to work with, so $35 is a lot right now, especially since technically I don’t need any of it.
I will post more deals at Giant after I have more time to put some together.
Superfresh–the place to be this week! They are offering three catalina deals–Unilever, Georgia Pacific and GM. As far as I know, they all will be working off of shelf prices and I have lots of corresponding coupons. I plan on checking it out tomorrow and will post what I find.
Giant-Hersheypark deal
June 22, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
Giant and Kraft/Nabisco have teamed up again for another year of the Hershey park deal. It’s on the last 2 inside pages of the Giant ad for this week. Basically, spend $60 on Kraft/Nabisco, get a free HP ticket or a discount on a pack of four tix. Spend $60?!? Ha! Not me!
There are lots of coupons from yesterday’s paper, as well as tearpads and peelies found all over the place, for Kraft/Nabisco products. Check out your other local grocers for those coupons, check CVS & Walgreen’s & Target too……….you’ll find them.
I’m confident that with even minimal effort, I can get $60 worth of product for $20, and earn my free tickets plus get stuff my family will eat.
Good luck & happy couponing!
