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

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.
