Giant this week

I’ve been so busy the past coupla weeks, I’ve barely had time to look at my ads, let alone clip any coupons. I haven’t done my weekly shopping trip in almost 2 weeks, I just keep stopping in for milk or bananas or whatever it is we’ve run out of.

I think I’m going to do my weekly trip at Giant. First, they have a gas deal when you spend $50, and that should just about cover my weekly trip. The Gatorade, which my husband drinks tons of when doing outdoor work and repairs, is only $0.88. I seldom find it for under a dollar. They have a $5/$20 Kraft deal, instant savings, not a catalina. But with the coupons from last week’s paper, should be a good deal. And they are running the $20 GM deal and get $5 worth of BTFE. I have enough coupons for the Fiber One stuff that I do well and get more BTFE for K’s school.

Herr’s potato chips are bogo, look for peelies. Kelloggs is a good deal, about $0.75/box if you use the coupons or IPs on coupons.com. They may disappear tomorrow (new month) so print them today!

Just remember, at Giant, deals work on sale prices, not shelf prices.

And don’t miss the coupon on the back of the flyer–free Elmer’s glue for the kids when you spend $15.

New week–Coupons for Charity–FREE wipes!

I put up the new auction for Coupons for Charity here. Included in the P&G inserts is the $2 off Pampers wipes coupons, which probably means free wipes. Every store–Target, Walmart, Superfresh, Acme….they’ve all been putting the wipes on sale for $1.99.  Bid now! Bid high–let’s end this month’s auctions with a bang for K’s birthday (yesterday).

Acme or Superfresh this week?

I’d say either is good. Neither has any spectacular freebies or anything, but both have decent deals.

I went to Acme this morning because it was closest. The Grande chips are $1.74 and the 6/27 paper had $1/1s in it. I got 5 bags because I had 5 coupons and I’m way into making salsa this summer and the chips go quickly! And as one of my readers pointed out, they only have 3-4 ingredients which I like!

I scored free boneless porkchops. I frequently buy the expired meat with the coupons stuck to it. The bigger packs of the chops are about $6 and they are bogo, and they had $3 coupons on them, so Free! Getting ready to vac seal them right now.

Check your avenu because I got $1 off plastic wrap and it’s on sale for $2, bigger roll too. Danimals are on sale for $2 and there are $1 coupons out. Small packs of store brand baby wipes were $0.42, which works out to about a penny per wipe which is my stock up price.

Ok, off to vac seal this meat and then to growers market.

Look for orange coupon booklet when you’re there.

Looks like a blah week

I don’t see any “must do” deals. A blah week is a welcome change.

I went to Superfresh yesterday and the Mott’s juice deal is ok. Not great but I haven’t been able to find a decent juice deal in a long time. After catalina works out to 1.25 a bottle. I won’t pay more than $1.50 for a bottle of juice, so it’s hardly my stock up price, but not bad. I wish the $1/1 Mott’s coupons weren’t expired, that certainly would make this a stock up deal.

I’ve seen a lot of blogs talking about Rite Aid. I never go there but maybe you want to check it out. Saw freebies and moneymakers mentioned several times.

I had to get some laminating done yesterday so I went to Rubinstein’s. They allowed me to get all the freebies with coupon, for just one $16 purchase. I didn’t have to do a separate $10 purchase for all six of the items. And each item is limit 4–so I got quite a bit of stuff for my $16 purchase. I’ll have more to do this week so I’ll take my free ream of paper coupon. Can always use a free ream of paper to go with all my ink!
