First of the month–and a deal on s’mores.

Today is the first of the month, so make sure you hit all the printable websites and get the new coupons.

Acme has a deal on the ingredients for s’mores, tomorrow is last day. The display is right near their seasonal merchandise, across from Courtesy Desk (at the Avondale store). If you get the crackers, the Hershey bars and the marshmallows, it will cost you $6.50. But they have instant savings at the register, when you scan your card, it will take off $3. Laying right there on the display is a tearpad of coupons for $1 off when you buy all 3 items. So after all that, you’re down to $2.50.

And guess what–there was an insert coupon a few weeks ago for $1 off when you buy two packages of Hershey bars. I used that one as well and it went through without a beep. So I paid $4 for two boxes of graham crackers, two packs of Hershey bars and two bags of marshmallows. Great deal and perfect to take along to a holiday gathering you go to. There were still plenty of tearpad coupons when I was there this afternoon, same coupon is also in the May 17 Smartsource insert.

potential strike at Acme

It appears that within the next week or two, Acme workers will go on strike. I’m on the fence about how I feel about crossing picket lines. Overall I’m not a huge fan of labor unions anyway, but I don’t want my usual cashiers to see me and give me even more hassle over coupons.

And, I talked to one of the employees and he said it probably will affect the warehouse. Hence the store will be probably be poorly stocked anyway.

I’ve been finding decent deals at Superfresh lately, so I’ll keep my eye on them. And I guess I’ll go to Giant if I have to. That new store in Jennersville is much too big. And they only double one coupon which is annoying.

changes–coming soon!

I apologize as I know it has been slow on here lately. I just went back to work full time, and I’m adjusting to life with 2 kids. I’ll be off for the summer, soon, and then I hope to change the layout of the blog and make it more current.
