Since my readership (is that a word?) is growing all the time, welcome new readers. And so that you know what my posting style is like-I don’t post ads & matchups weeks and weeks in advance. Two-three days in advance, tops. I may tell you about one particular freebie or hot deal approaching, so you can trade for coupons in order to get ready, but that’s it. Personally, trying to plan out deals and shopping trips that far in advance confuses me. Most weeks I get my ads in the mail on Wednesdays. I am aware that weeks in advance I can see the ads online at the various deal sites, but I prefer to have the paper in my hands.

I usually cover Acme & Superfresh first, because their ads start on Fridays. Then I move on to CVS & Walgreens, because their deals start on Sundays. After I get those posted, I move on to Giant and Dollar General. Both of their ads also start on Sundays, but for some reason, I feel more of a sense of urgency in posting the pharmacy deals before those two. DG and Giant-you’re much less likely to run into stock/supply issues, imo.

And intermittently I just sprinkle in hot deals, freebies, daily deals and other things as I learn about them. Glad to have you here & thanks for being a fan!

I found some deals good enough to warrant a trip to Genuardi’s. And it’s across from my Walmart, so I’ll get the cheap wipes. And it’s across from Staples, so I’ll drop off my ink cartridges and get my free tape, and return shoes I bought last week at Famous Footwear, and……oh, right, sorry. Why am I going to Genaurdi’s?

First, I REALLY REALLY apologize for posting this the 3rd day of a 4-day deal, but boneless, skinless chicken breasts are $1.49 lb. You still have all day tomorrow to get there, and I promise to post it earlier next time. The weekends that I have class, I get really screwed up on posting.

Next, Softsoap hand soap is $0.99. $0.35 coupons in 5/1 inserts. They are DND5s, which means that they say “do not double” on them, but since they start with a 5, they will double unless the cashier pushes the DND button.

Next up, Viva. 6 roll packs for $4.99, limit 2. I happen to have a $3.50 catalina for this, that spit out at Acme a few weeks ago when I did the Bounty/P&G deal there. Or, here is a $0.50 printable that should double, making it $3.99 for 6 rolls. There’s also coupons in either the April or May All You.

Dixie & Vanity Fair stuff is $1.49.

Oscar Meyer stuff is $2.49, printables that will take it down to at least $1.99 or $1.49.

Banana Boat & Coppertone stuff is $6.99–be on lookout for $2 peelies & hangtags.

Neutrogena-20% off, Aveeno-20% off

Enfamil & Similac-$21.99, printables

Reynolds-$2.49, $1 coupons in today’s paper, size matches

$4 instant savings-not too many details listed, but “Buy 4 & save $4” mix & match, ad shows Post cereals, GM cereals and Kellogg’s cereals. Personally, I would first do four GM cereals, get it as low as possible and see if you get a milk catalina. You might, that offer is still running in many of the big chains.

Happy shopping & good luck!

A pretty dull ad, though if I had to pick a store this week to do my regular trip, it would be Acme. Too bad I have so many of those $5 catalinas from Giant! Means I have to go to two stores. Anyway, few cheap items + an instant savings offer. As always, don’t forget to check your e-saings before you go.

Sorry, I was going too fast yesterday & didn’t read the fine print.

First, the good news. I found this $1 printable for Magnum ice cream bars. And they look yummy.

The deal is, buy four, get $4 instant savings. They are $3/box, so if you buy four, use four coupons plus the instant savings, only $1 per box.

It is NOT a spend $12, get $4 deal as I posted yesterday. That is what Acme almost always does for ice cream deals, so when I saw the big “$4” on the ad, I didn’t read the fine print. Apologies!
