McCormick Grinder deal

Here’s a decent unadvertised deal:

McCormick Grinders is offering a catalina deal right now. Buy 2 get $1.50 on your next order, buy 3 get $3. It has been running at the national chains and I can confirm it is working at Acme. I bought 3-salt, pepper (the multi-colored peppercorns) and Italian seasoning. I only got $1.50, so not sure which variety is NOT working. I should have gotten $3.

But…at Avondale, there are $1 off 3 tearpads hanging in front of them. Buy 3 for $4.50, use the $1 coupon, so $3.50. Get $3 back, so $0.50 for 3! I am definitely going back for more this week, we use these a lot and they have long expiration dates.

If you don’t shop at Acme or Supervalu, check your stores. I know I saw it on HCW at both Kroger stores and Albertson’s.

Nestle/Purina/Gerber deals

Both Acme (10/29-11/11) and Genuardi’s (10/24-10/30) are running Nestle deals. Acme is a Supervalu store (Albertson’s, etc.) and Genuardi’s is owned by Safeway, so in most cases the deal will be running at all the stores, though maybe not on the same dates.

Acme’s deal is “Buy 10 listed items, save $5” or $0.50 per item. Genuardi’s is mostly a bogo sale. There are coupons in tomorrow’s paper to correspond with the sale. There are also lots of printable coupons for the various items, check the Nestle website or Printable Coupon Spot. There also used to be Willy Wonka printables on the Target website, not sure if they are still available.

The Nestle family of products includes: Stoffers, Lean Cuisine, Juicy Juice, Gerber, Purina pet products, Carnation, Edy’s and Haagen Dazs. Just glancing at the ads, I don’t see any freebies, but definitely some good deals if you use the items.

Acme this week

Sorry I’m late in posting but there are a few good deals at Acme this week.

First, General Mills promo–$10 back when you spend $25. Working on shelf prices. I was excited about the Green Giant frozen veggie boxes, we’re brand loyal to these. They are on knockdown for $1, so I bought 25 boxes for $25, get $10 back. Makes them $0.60 a box each which is a great price. I also had 8 of the $0.60/3 which doubled, so only paid 15.40, got 10 back–brings them down to about 10 cents per box! Going to make more room in freezer and go back. I mix the sauce-less corn, peas and green beans in to almost everything my kids eat. Some day they’ll eat some place else and realize not all spaghetti and mac & cheese comes with veggies mixed in.

If you have the GM coupons from last week, lots of great deals to be had. Very cheap stuff even if you don’t have any coupons. Most of the yogurts are shelf price 3.79, sale 2.00. So you pay $14, get $10 back, for 7 boxes of yogurt.

Lately lots of different Perdue things have been in the 19.99 deal. I always try to find something that we want, and then the biggest portion I can find, before it goes down to 4 for 19.99. I got an $8 Perdue chicken, then it got marked down to $5, then there are lots of $1 and $0.75 perdue coupons out. All the 19.99 items are specially marked in the meat dept and on the front page of the flyer.

Crest & Reach items-$1, use the $1 coupons from last week and 9/26=free!

Use the $2 Quaker printable on printablecouponspot, it’s on sale for 2.50. Look for blinkies for $1 off produce when you buy 2 Quaker oatmeals. I got 2=$5. Used two $2 printables=$1 for both boxes. Used the $1 blinkie for my produce, or think of it as getting the oatmeal for free and just purchasing produce you’d normally purchase anyway! Broccoli is on sale this week for $1, which is almost half the normal price (1.88) and something I get almost every week anyway.

Tropicana has a deal, get a free Trop 50 when you buy 2 Tropicana premiums. We’re brand loyal to this, so I got 2, got the free one, blueberry pomegranite. Hubby really likes it, says it would be much better with vodka.

Dove coupons in last week’s paper (I think) and there’s a 5/15 dove deal if you need the stuff. Works on shelf prices too.

Happy shopping! Still 3 whole days left to take advantage of sale. I went yesterday, got $243 worth of groceries for $104 and I have $15 in catalinas. Not bad!

Odds & Ends

Sorry for not posting, been a busy few days.

This week at Acme there is a $10/30 catalina deal on Procter & Gamble products. Working on shelf prices, so lots of cheap stuff if you need it. Also the Gum toothbrushes are $1, so if you have the $0.75 coupon from a few weeks ago, I got $0.50 overage on mine. There are also $0.55 Gum accessory coupons out–the only place I have ever seen $1 accessories is the flossers and I’ve only ever seen them at Pike Creek. The Perdue chicken nugget packs are $4.99 and bogo. Use two of the $0.75 coupons that are out and you get your packs for $1 each.

CVS-go to CVS and scan your card under the card scanner. Many moms are reporting that they’re getting a coupon for $5 off ANY Halloween item, and apparently there are many items priced $5 or less.

Giant-no gas deals this week, but each ad should have four of the $1 doublers. From one of the moms on hcw, here is what she found to be free/cheap with the doublers–thanks angeleyza:
Coffeemate creamers $1.66 ea – $1/1 and $1 Doubler = free + overage

Skippy PB $2 ea – $1/2 and doubler = $1 ea
min maid OJ $2.50 ea – $1/1 ( inside certain pkgs of kelloggs cerals) & doubler= .50ea
Honey Nut cherrios $2 – $1/1 and doubler = free
frosted flakes $3 ea – $1/1 kellogg peelie & doubler combine with $1 off milk and $1 doubler = cheap cereal and milk
Green Giant Vegs $1 ea use $1/4 blinkies & 1 doubler = 4/$2
 
Target: in addition to the rug coupon deal I posted the other day, they are offering a gift card deal on Mott’s juice. My kids love the Motts for Tots, so I plan on getting that, getting my gift card, then using gc and coupon to get my rugs.
