My ads came early (yay!) so here’s what I see at first glance:
Giant and Superfresh both doing OYNO deals. Giant’s is Unilever stuff (Ragu, Lipton, Skippy) and Superfresh’s is General Mills. I’m not doing any of those but just putting it out there for you non-Acme shoppers. There are always GM and Unilever coupons out there for you to match up. Superfresh starts Friday, Giant Sunday.
Pepsi/Gatorade: Both CVS and Wags are doing a deal. Spend $20, get $10 back in either ECBs or RRs. The Walgreen’s deal has better prices on the Gatorade, CVS has better prices on the Pepsi. I’m still going to CVS for Gatorade as I have a ton of ECBs to burn and at Wags I’d have to spend actual money. Doritos is also owned by Pepsi and included in both deals. Unless you happen to come across a tearpad at a store, coupons for these items are usually hard to find. Starts Sunday.
Makeup at CVS: Cover Girl and Maybelline both have decent ECB deals that should be almost break even/free deals if you have coupons. I never get Cover Girl coupons in my inserts, but some people do. Some Maybelline is also bogo and CVS usually lets you use 2 coupons on a bogo deal. And don’t forget to see what is on clearance and match it up with your coupons for great deals.
CVS also has a 24 hour allergy relief free after ECB. Roll those bucks if you need to.
Clairol Natural Instincts is $3.99 after ECBs and I think there are $2 coupons out for this. This is the kind I use and I haven’t seen it for much cheaper than this.
Walgreen’s also has a Spend 20, get 10 deal on dayquil, nyquil, vicks. Coupons coming out this weekend. Not free, but cheap if you need it. Ricola cough drops are $1.29 and I have $1 coupons for this–they look like insert coupons. Also running a Unilever deal on the Unilever HBA items-Dove, Caress, Sunsilk. Starts Sunday.
Other items I’ll be looking at at Acme when I do my weekly trip, ad starts on Friday:
Chicken breasts for $1 per lb.
The baby deal I mentioned in a previous blog post.
The Ragu & Skippy bogo deals on back page of ad. There MUST be Unilever coupons coming out this Sunday, with practically every store doing a Unilever deal. So if you don’t currently have any and can wait to grocery shop, I would. Remember Acme will take 2 coupons on a bogo, and double them too, and the Skippy and the Ragu are bogo.
Acme also running a $5/20 General Mills deal. I do not need anything, except maybe Bisquick and Progresso soups. Might be interesting if shelf prices work.
Fresh Express bagged salads are bogo but I think those mfr coupons expired.
Arnold bread on sale for 1.99 and there are $0.55 coupons out. $0.80 is cheap bread and they don’t put any HFCS in theirs, which I like.
I’ll hit Acme for my weekly trip and CVS for the Gatorade, browse the makeup, but that’s about it.
We are having people over for the Superbowl, so I am excited for the Pepsi deal. I think I will do mine at CVS b/c I have ecbs to use. Plus, our Wags is horrible with a capital H and I avoid it at all costs!!
Which one do you go to? I usually go to Avondale and have much success, as long as this one cashier isn’t there. Kennett/Longwood is ok, the one cashier has terrible BO, but both she and the young man who are usually there don’t ever give me any hassle. I also have had much success at any of the Happy Harry’s that I’ve tried. Just by and large I prefer CVS because of the longer dates on ECBs and easier to roll.
I live and shop all of the stores in King of Prussia. But, my SIL lives down by you, so I have a general idea of where you are:)
