Superfresh ad: Aug 6-12

I don’t usually shop quite this often! I usually do one main trip for our weekly needs. Then if there are freebies or good deals to be had some place, I do that too. But there are just so many freebies (Giant!) and good deals, I’ve been at a store almost every day this week. And I have so many catalinas to roll at SF, I will definitely be headed there this weekend at some point.

Ok, good deals and some coupon matchups that I see from this week’s ad:

Beef Tenderloin-6.99/lb. Great price for this, but you will have to purchase the whole thing. They will cut it for you. Or you can look at Food Network or Food TV for instructions on how to do it yourself, if you’d like to reach your inner celebrity chef.

Grapes-0.79lb, through Sunday only. I recently saw grapes at Acme for 5.99/lb!

Pepsi products-0.79 a 2 liter. I’ve become addicted to the Tropicana Orangeade, ever since I was in CC Hospital having our second child. Afterwards, it was just so cold and sweet, it really hit the spot. I water it down though, too syrupy otherwise. Tropicana is a Pepsi product and usually included in Pepsi deals.

Blue Bunny Ice Cream novelties- on sale for 1.99. Buy $12, get $3 catalina promo. Shelf price for most of these is 4.19. So buy 3 to get to the $12 threshhold. Pay 5.97, get $3 back. Even better yet, I spotted peelies on some of them recently for $1.25! If you can find those, you’ll pay $2.25, get $3 back.

Dannon yogurts-10 for $4 or $0.40 each. I refuse to pay more than $0.60 each for a cup of yogurt. I see it for $1.05, $1.15….that’s just ridiculous. Pick cups with long expiration dates, figure out how many you need, and stock up. $0.40 a cup is a great price, if you have the $1 off 10 cups coupon that was in the paper recently, even better!

There’s a Unilever buy 20 get 5 deal. I checked the shelf vs sale prices when I went in to get Scrubbing Bubbles.
Lipton teas-shelf 4.19, sale 2.99; 0.50 coupon in last week’s paper that will double
Popsicle novelties-3.27, sale 1.99–I’ve seen $1 off 2 coupons on freezer doors for these
Ben & Jerry’s! shelf 4.39, sale 2.50. I’m very excited about this one. I don’t know of any corresponding coupons to go with this, unfortunately.
Unilever also encompasses Ragu, Wishbone and Hellmann’s. Remember–use the shelf price to get to your $20 mark, but only pay the sale price. And there was a big Unilever coupon insert in last week’s paper.

Kellogg’s-Ack! You’d really think that with all the free Kelloggs I hauled away from Giant this week, that I wouldn’t be interested. But I am! Their deal is the same–buy 10 participating Kellogg’s items, get a $10 catalina. What’s different here though, is that I don’t know that Superfresh will also do the $10 instant savings. That’s a significant price difference, but I’m tempted to try it anyway. Because……..they are including all the Keebler fudge shoppe cookies, and I’m completely addicted to the fudge sticks. What could be better than a chocolate covered sugar wafer? Not sure I want 10 packs of them though. They also are including the Special K line, but it doesn’t list any cereal or Eggos as being included.

A catalina on Greenworks cleaning products–get $3 when you spend $30. Very lukewarm about that return on investment! But remember, it should work on the whole shelf/sale price concept and you can use coupons.

Speed Stick and Edge Skintimate are all $2. There were $0.75 coupons in last week’s paper that will double. Though on the Skintimate/Edge, you may want to wait it out, Acme often sells them for $1.50.

Skippy and Welch’s are 1.50. I have $1 off 2 coupons for both of these items, I think it was from last week. $1 each!

That’s all I see for now, if I see more, I’ll add updates. Don’t forget to check online with your Superfresh card to see if you can piggyback more savings on to these sales!

hang on to those receipts!

Like I’ve said in other posts, don’t throw away receipts! You never know when another offer will come along. Last week I posted about the Venus kits I got on clearance at Target. I purchased eight of them for $40, minus a $2 coupon for each, so $24. Then in this past Sunday’s paper, lo and behold, a rebate for $10 back when you buy $30 worth of Venus/Olay etc. (the link was provided in a post earlier this week) I had my receipt tossed in a drawer, so of course I’m submitting it. I’ll have paid $14 for eight kits–and each one has a razor & replacement cartridge, full size Olay body wash, full size Olay lotion. Can’t beat that!

And one of my readers has posted this link. It’s to get a free book when you buy three Bandaids products. I posted the Superfresh band aid deal yesterday. There’s also a bandaid deal at Target, another place to use the $3/3 coupon from Sunday’s paper. Thanks for the link Adriana!

Happy couponing, it’s a busy week for deals!

Superfresh, 8/3-Scrubbing Bubbles and J&J deals

As soon as my oldest son got on the bus this morning, I grabbed the little guy and headed to Superfresh. I had already logged in my savings card online.  Good deal alerts:

Scrubbing Bubbles-The catalina deal is buy 20, get 7
Shelf price-2.99, purchased 7-20.93
Sale price-2.50, now down to 17.50
Log in your card online, get $1 off every 2, for some reason, it deducted $3.43 instead of $3.50 ???
Now down to $14.07–THIS is the price you would pay without any other coupons.

But of course I had more coupons, from the paper 2 days ago:
I had seven of the $0.55 coupons, which doubled, so minus another $7.70.
Even if you have only one Sunday insert, use the $1 off 2 and the $0.55 to minus another $2.10.

Therefore, out of pocket payment-
with one set of inserts: about $12
with unlimited inserts: about $6

And guess what you get back? Yes, the $7 catalina for buying $20 worth of SCJohnson…..AND….you get a $2 catalina for every *2* Scrubbing Bubbles items. So I got $13 back, after only paying $7.xx. In hindsight, had I known that, I would have picked up an 8th bottle, used another $.55 and the $.50 online, plus would have gotten yet another $2 back.

This is still a good deal even without coupons, if you use the product. And Superfresh is part of a big family of stores, the other stores in the group may also be doing this catalina promo.

Johnson & Johnson, promo is buy 20, get 5 back
Bandaids, shelf price 3.59, unfortunately no Elmo ones!
Bought 6, 21.54
Sale price, 1.99, so down to 11.94

If you have one set of Sunday’s inserts, use the $3 off 3 coupon. I used two, so my out of pocket was $5.94

Got $5 back. With one coupon, 8.94, 5 back. Still cheap bandaids!

Baby wash, same deal, buy 20, get 5 back
Shelf price-5.49
Got 4, 21.98
Sale price-2.99
I had several $1/1 J&J coupons, not sure what insert they were from.
Out of pocket without coupons-11.96
My oop: 7.96

Got $5 back. Great price, as these are the big bottles of wash, which I use for bubble bath with the boys.

I was feeling pretty good about my deals, and was headed to Kmart…..which will be in the next blog post, I want to be able to c& p for hotcouponworld.

Superfresh matchups for July 30-Aug 5

Buh-bye Acme, I’m headed to Superfresh this week for my weekly trip. The gift card deal could be decent, I’m just thinking it’s going to be more hassle than it’s worth. If I read some place that Acme gift cards are included, there are freebies to be had and we can stack the catalinas, then maybe I’ll head over there. Someone on the hcw Acme discussion board suggested getting the $10 catalina, then throwing in $5 to purchase the $15 gift cards for teacher gifts and such–not a bad idea!

Superfresh looks like it has much better deals next week. And it’s cloudy and dreary here, boys are sleeping, so I have time to look it over and write it up. First, on the cover of the ad, there’s a coupon–choose either 10% off a $100 order or 15% off $150. From past experience, this will be after you scan your card (sale prices) but before manufacturers’ coupons.

Also on front cover flap:
Tropicana Pure Premium or Trop 50-1.79. I found $0.50 coupons for this at Acme, near the service desk, and they’ll double. I think that there are current insert coupons out for this as well. This is usually $3 around here, so still a good price.
Eggo Waffles-still haven’t had your fill of Eggos? 4 for $5, use the $1/2 coupon from this past week’s paper to get yours for $0.75 a box.

Then we get to the catalina deals!
First, a get $10 wyb $40 from Procter & Gamble. On the front cover, advertising big bottles of Tide for 9.99 and bounty for 8.99. I’m positive that these have a shelf price of at least 14.99, maybe even 15.99 for the Tide. That is what price you use to get to the $40, then knock it down to sale prices, then take off any coupons you might have. The P&G website currently has a printable for $3 when you register there. So just with those two items, you’re over $30, then bumped down to $19 minus coupons. Another good item to add to the pile would be the Fusion razor, shelf price of 9.89, that should take you up over $40. If you still have the P&G coupon inserts (came out first weekend in June and July) use the $4 coupon in there. Pay about $20 for all three items, get $10 back.

If you need diapers–stack the deals. Buy $50 worth of baby, get $5 back. So get $50 worth of Pampers, get a $10 and a $5 back. Coupons were in the P&G coupon insert from first weekend in June and July, check your Cheerios boxes, and they do home mailers, maybe you have some laying around.

We use a ton of napkins here, my kids are so freakin messy. They have a shelf price of 3.99, sale 2.49.

Next is a buy $20 get $7 from SCJohnson (Fantastik, Windex, Ziploc). They usually have decent coupons on their website, check it out. I don’t know the shelf prices for any of these items, but after the whole use shelf price, pay sale price minus coupons–you should make out well after you get your $7 back.

There’s another Buy $20 get $5 back from SCJ and miscellaneous other items. Bandaids, zyrtec, immodium, J&J baby, Listerine, etc. Again, determine what you need, then you know the drill-use shelf prices to get to the $20, then pay sale price minus coupons, get your catalina back.

Not to be left out, General Mills is running a deal too. Purchase any 8 items from the flyer, get $5 back in Box Tops for Education. Lots of potential here for cheap stuff, I don’t see any freebies. But if you use the stuff and do BTFE, worth a look.
Gogurt is 2 for 4, there were coupons in last week’s paper. Actually, I think there were coupons in last week’s paper for just about all the items listed–Chex Mix, Brownie Mix, cookie mix, Nature Valley. Unfortunately this is a deal with a specific number of items, not based on a $ amount, so you’ll have to buy 8–not do the shelf price, sale price thing. Lots of printables for these items too, use the links on this page.

The whole Perdue line is 40% off, they’re usually pretty good about putting coupons on their website.

Sargento is $2, if you still have any of the $.50 or $.75 coupons out there, they’ll double.

Suave line is $1.49, lots of $0.75 coupons in recent papers, which will double.

Other things that are a good price, but not my stock up price: Ragu, Kraft Mac & cheese (cheaper at Acme this week), Dole & Tropicana refrigerated drinks (try mixing them with club soda, yum!) and GM cereals.

Superfresh also has a link to log in your card for extra savings.
