Still working out the bugs of the new site, but for the most part it is up & running. Will have a few more posts here though. Here’s my 5 minute walk through of this week’s Smartsource. Except for the Viva coupons, a pretty dull week.

Zyrtec-we don’t use this but they’re nice high value coupons if you do use it. Keep an eye out at Walgreen’s & CVS for deals on this, to stack with the coupon.

Woolite-we don’t have any carpet in our entire home, won’t use this one!

Pillsbury coupons-same old same old; same coupons and same values as usual; I’ll hang on to them in case of a catalina deal or freebie at Acme or Superfresh, but won’t clip them.

Yoplait Greek yogurt-will clip these to keep in binder; it’s a new product and new products often go on special when they are introduced;

Chex mix-boring coupons, same old same old again; but it will probably go on sale for $1 at Acme or SF, so doubling the coupon would make it $0.50 bag

SO Delicious-call me old school, but I’m just going to stick with dairy milk

Hidden Valley-$1 off ones are always good; it also appears to be a newer product so it may be on special; coupon does say “any” so hopefully we can find smaller bottles for $1

Clorox/Glad/409-won’t use but will keep in case it goes on a deal some place; my inserts does highlight the prices of these items at the A&P stores

Pebbles treats-it will double at Acme & Superfresh and we might see them there for $1.50-$2; but it’s really junk food, not sure if I would give it to my kids anyway

KC Masterpiece-my fave bbq sauce; it will go on sale for $1 some place, making it $0.50 a bottle

Hawaiian rolls-I don’t like those at all

Hidden Valley salad kits-maybe they’ll go on sale for $1 or $2, thus making some cheap lunches

Irish Spring-won’t use those, but will keep them; on sale at CVS this week

Dr Oetker pizza-probably won’t use, but I’m pretty sure it’s on sale at Genaurdi’s this week for under $5

Lay’s-those will double to $1.10, and if they are the right price at Acme or SF, I’d forego my brand loyalty to Herr’s, temporarily

maruchan yakisoba-I wouldn’t eat that or give to my kids

Kool Aid-same as above

Planters-I’d keep that, my husband likes those

Motrin-keep, will probably result in a freebie or moneymaker at the pharmacies

Herbal essences-keep for deals at CVS & Walgreen’s; RR deal at Walgreen’s this week.

French’s dipping mustard-I recently got this at Acme for free, it was $1.50, with these coupons

Clearasil-won’t use, but check CVS & Walgreen’s

Tyson-won’t use, we won’t eat that

Nature Sweet-I’ll use those for sure, it’s the only winter tomatoes we’ll eat

Viva! Yay! I love this coupon! Keep it! It will go on sale for $1.75 or 1.79 at Acme, for some very very cheap paper towels.

Melitta-I just read that coffee prices are going to increase, so I’ll keep this one.

Cottonelle-will keep it, but not a fantastic coupon; I hate “off any two” coupons.

Bausch & Lomb-may go on special at RA, CVS or Walgreen’s

Werther’s-will double at grocery stores and no size restrictions

Glade-same old same old

Dulcolax-won’t use

Frank’s-frequently $1 at Acme

L’oreal-won’t use; it is on Extra Buck deal this week at CVS

Orajel/A&H-will keep, but not clip

Fleischmann’s-I’m into making pizza, so I’ll end up using these

Stouffer’s-lots of frozen food deals at all the grocery stores this month

Purina-won’t use

The other day I posted a link to print a 15% off coupon for the Acme/Supervalu family of products. Although you can only print it today, it is good until 3/31. It let me print two–hey, we never know what sales may come up in the next two weeks!

I understand that the entire Supervalu chain ran this promo, so even if you don’t have an Acme, check to see if YOUR STORE is participating.

The other day I posted about the new Giant ad that starts tomorrow, including the 10/25 frozen food catalina. Someone just told me on hcw that these deals do NOT work on shelf prices, it is based off of the sale price. My apologies for posting otherwise, but I did have someone tell me that it worked on shelf prices like Acme & Superfresh.

The catalina still should roll, so once you get one, you can use it to purchase your next $25 worth and so on, but obviously it will change things.

See, this is why I don’t shop at Giant. In addition to not really caring for their meats, their coupon policies are too strict for me.
