First of the month–and a deal on s’mores.

Today is the first of the month, so make sure you hit all the printable websites and get the new coupons.

Acme has a deal on the ingredients for s’mores, tomorrow is last day. The display is right near their seasonal merchandise, across from Courtesy Desk (at the Avondale store). If you get the crackers, the Hershey bars and the marshmallows, it will cost you $6.50. But they have instant savings at the register, when you scan your card, it will take off $3. Laying right there on the display is a tearpad of coupons for $1 off when you buy all 3 items. So after all that, you’re down to $2.50.

And guess what–there was an insert coupon a few weeks ago for $1 off when you buy two packages of Hershey bars. I used that one as well and it went through without a beep. So I paid $4 for two boxes of graham crackers, two packs of Hershey bars and two bags of marshmallows. Great deal and perfect to take along to a holiday gathering you go to. There were still plenty of tearpad coupons when I was there this afternoon, same coupon is also in the May 17 Smartsource insert.

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.

Superdoubles at Superfresh

Superfresh is doubling coupons up to and including $1. I got lots of Capri Sun for free, and the Kennett store still has plenty on the shelves. The ad says that you can only do 5 coupons, but I did more than that and they still all doubled.

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……
