Update: CVS & Giant trips today

September 7, 2008 by · 2 Comments

CVS-I went to the one in Jennersville, and there are $1 and $2 tearpad coupons laying around the cosmetic dept for the L’oreal stuff.

They have all their summer stuff down to 90% off–so I got grill brushes for $0.39 and the beach chairs are $1.49!!

They would not take my $2 Revlon coupon. It beeped at her and since it doesn’t have a picture of nail polish on it, she said I couldn’t use it for the nail polish.

Giant-The Maxwell House coffee is four for $8. I’m trying to wean myself off of expensive coffees. You must buy 4. But MH is a Kraft brand, so if you have any of those coupons for a free Kraft dressing or free Oscar Meyer hot dogs wyb 4 Kraft items, the coffee will count.

Overall at Giant, lots of good sales that match up with recent coupons–good savings to be had if you have the patience. My total came to $109–would have been $179 but I had $70 in coupon savings! It was crowded and I don’t know their floor plan that well anymore since the remodeling, so it took me 90mins, much longer than usual. But well worth it to save $70.

Going to Giant this week; week of Sept 7-13

September 6, 2008 by · Leave a Comment

Sorry for not posting in a while. I’ve been busy with work, and honestly, there haven’t been any deals anywhere to get super excited about. The Acme ad that started yesterday stinks. I don’t see even one good deal. For a change though, Giant is advertising some decent deals, so I think I’ll go there for what I need.

Dollar doublers: In the ad there are four $1 doublers, so make sure you pick out four $1 coupons you have (with items that you need) and use them. Perhaps the $1 GM cereal coupons, coupled with the sale (three for $6) will make for some cheap cereal.

Perdue whole chickens: $0.89/lb. These freeze well and make nice dinners for colder weather. I love comfort foods. I roast 2 at a time, as I have this great recipe thing from Rachael Ray. I have searched & searched online and can’t find it. It’s called Chicken 5 ways or something like that. Basically you spend one afternoon in the kitchen and then you have 5 different meals for the week. One is the roast chicken & mashed potatoes, shepherd’s pie with chicken, chicken enchiladas and I don’t remember the others–I haven’t made it since last winter. Admittedly, by Friday I was really sick of chicken, but it makes my week easier with working full time.

Hatfield bacon: bogo, this is my favorite bacon and freezes well.

Campbell’s soup: 5 for $3, coupons coming out this Sunday.

Green Giant steamers: $1 each, coupons coming out Sunday. EDIT: There are $1 off coupons at bettycrocker.com! FREEEEEEEEEEE!

Hatfield pork items: on sale and there are $1 coupons out.

Dannon yogurt: some varieties on sale and there were coupons out 2-3 weeks ago.

Pillsbury: lots of items on sale and coupons were out a few weeks ago or online.

Maier’s bread: bogo. Freeze it!

Ronzoni healthy harvest pasta: four for $5, $1 coupons out

Dole classic salad: $0.85!! Great price for a bag of salad.

$0.85 sale–see insert for other special $0.85 items. Also in that ad–buy 8 items (see what is listed) and get $5 oyno. Lots of corresponding coupons for those items will be out this Sunday.

As always, don’t forget to check the online printable sites before you go: coupons.com, smartsource.com, eatbetteramerica.com, pillsbury.com or do a search for “xxx printable coupon” for your favorite items–you’ll be surprised at what pops up sometimes.

Random freebies w/coupons

September 2, 2008 by · Leave a Comment

Here is a list of some random free stuff if you have the coupons:

Dawn at CVS: The new Dawn that is supposed to be good for your hands is $0.99 at CVS. There were $1 coupons in Sunday’s paper.

GUM toothbrushes: These are $1 at Acme. There were either $1 or $0.75 coupons, depending on which newspaper you get, in recent weeks’ papers. The $0.75 will double to $1.50 for a small overage.

Excedrin: On sale at Walgreen’s for $1.99 and there were $2 coupons for this out recently. It also is giving $1 back in RR. Even if you choose to not go to Walgreen’s for the RR, it will be free at Walmart after coupon.

CVS ECB deals: If you have some ECBs at CVS, here’s a way to increase them by a $1. Kiss/Broadway nail stuff is buy 2 items, get $5 ECB. Until Saturday only. The little things of nail glue are $1.99, so two is $3.98. Spend $3.98 of your ECB, get $5 back. I tried this yesterday and it did work.

Cheerios: at Acme, must buy 10 boxes and have 10 coupons. On sale for 1.99, but if you buy 10, the price drops to $1.49. There were $0.75 coupons, which will double, out in the paper about 2-3 weeks ago. Even if you don’t have 10 coupons, $0.50 is a good price for a box of cereal. Make sure you’re getting the correct size & variety.

Acme ad-starts today 8/29

August 29, 2008 by · Leave a Comment

Sorry about not posting for so long. It was my first week back to school and back to adjusting to working FT. But I do need to go food shopping, so here is some of what I see from the new Acme ad.

Keller’s butter is bogo and you can get a Keller’s printable coupon here. Remember that you should be able to use 2 coupons–one for each item, on a bogo offer.

The beef tenderloin is down to 6.99/lb, I knew I should have waited. You must buy a whole tenderloin and like I said, I wasn’t thrilled with the one I got. The tenderloin steaks were very good though, we had them the other night. I just would have liked to have gotten more out of my piece.

Edy’s is bogo again. So remember to keep checking your Avenu savings to see if you get the $2 e-coupon. It will take $2 off of both of them, so you end up paying $1.99 for two containers of icecream.

The Acme choc chip cookies are two for $5 and I really like them. They freeze ok for short periods of time.

Hatfield hotdogs are bogo and there have been coupons in recent inserts.

The Tropicana pure premium is $4.49 and there were $1 coupons in the paper maybe 2 weeks ago. It was a separate ad, not included with the regular coupon inserts. It was a thicker stock paper.

General Mills deal: Buy 10 items, get $5 off instantly. The coupons I have that correspond with this deal are–
$0.50 off one Nature Valley granola bar ($1 when doubled)
$0.50 off Cheerios snack mix ($1 when doubled)
$0.40 off the cookie mix ($0.80 when doubled)
$0.50 off two of the brownie mixes ($1 when doubled)
$1 off two boxes of Cheerios

And there are many other printables to go with this deal.
General Mills coupons
Pillsbury coupons (get Chex Mix coupons)

Also there are coupons from recent inserts for just about all of the items listed, so compare what you have with the ad (page 3 top), and what you need. Should make for some pretty good deals, but I unfortunately don’t see anything that will be free.

Snyder’s snacks are two for $4 and there were $1 off 2 coupons recently.

Eggo waffles are bogo, so if you still haven’t used the $1 off 2 coupons that were in the inserts a few weeks ago, here you go.

I think the soda deals look ok, but we don’t drink soda so I wouldn’t know for sure.

Have a great Labor Day weekend.
