Again, LOTS of Acme brand products highlighted & on sale. Don’t forget to check your e-savings before you leave the house, and print it off! Because you can stack those deals with your 15% off coupons if you still have them.

There are Acme brand tissues for $1, so with just the coupon-$0.85 a box!

Also, Crest is 1.99 and I have $1 off on my e-savings, plus a $1 coupon=free!

Happy Shopping!

Kmart deals; all this for $1.97! Includes printable links for SCJohnson deal

March 15, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

I had $15 to spend at Kmart that expires this Saturday.

There is an SC Johnson catalina, get $5 when you spend $15, and after looking at the selection of items I decided that I really could use some of them. My stockpile is overflowing with cleaning products, but I never seem to get enough Windex and that was included. Plus, I had the $1.50 off two Glade coupons and I like the oil burning thingies, and with three dogs can never have enough candles.

Most of the cleaning products are priced 2 for $5. I’d love to give you a rundown of what everything cost, but Baby B shredded my sales flyer. My catalinas were a $5 one and a $10 one, and each one stated that only “one per transaction” so I had to break it up.

First:
two Windex
four Glade things
Paid with $10 catalina and coupons, plus $0.50 cash
Got $5 back

Second:
three boxes of Capri Sun-$6
paid with $5 catalina and $1

The $5 Glade/SC Johnson catalina was a regular cat–not the ones that Kmart often gives, where you can’t use it right away but have to come back the next week. So I figured rather than have to come back next week, just use it.

Three sippy cups at $1.99 each
Paid with $5 cat and $0.97 cash.

Yay for Delaware for no sales tax!

To recap:
Two Windex
Four Glade candles
Three boxes of Capri Sun
Three sippy cups
All for $1.97 out of pocket! Go me!

And I still have another catalina good for $4 off a $40 grocery purchase, good thru April so I’m going to hang on to it in case other deals come along, which they probably will.

Print some SCJohnson coupons.

Here are some links to SCJohnson printable coupons. Will have to register on the site.

Did well at Acme today! 3/15

March 15, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

I’m usually not a huge advocate of buying store brand or generic items. I can usually do much better on price with coupons and stacking deals, and, I’m kind of a snob when it comes to some things. I really feel that most generic items are a bit inferior in quality and/or taste than name brand items.

But occasionally I do find a store-brand-something that I really like, and I will buy generic items for staples like canned beans, flour, chicken broth, stuff like that. If it’s cheaper and I need it.

And, this week Acme certainly made their store brand items much more interesting with the 15% off coupons that are out. If there are deals to be stacked, I definitely have to check it out!

First, I went to the Pike Creek store because I also wanted to hit Kmart and I wanted to return my $10 cheese and that is where I got it. Cheese returned, no hassles! And, at the courtesy counter there, they have the 15% off coupons–sheets of four of them! There for the taking! So if you missed out on the printable when I posted it (no longer available) you can still score some of the 15% off coupons. Ask at your local store. (Locals, if you know me, contact me, I have some that you could get from me.)

Before I left the house, of course I loaded my Acme card with my e-savings (center of page/personalized savings).

Here are some of the Acme brand items that were on my card, also on sale, and I used the 15% off coupon.

Acme brand shake & bake-on sale for $1; e-savings $0.50 per box! Plus another 15% off. Not something I’d normally buy, but for around $0.40, I’ll try a few boxes and me & the boys can eat it the nights hubby works late.

Acme Bread & Butter pickles-$2.59 a jar, $1.75 off each jar with e-savings, plus 15%; a MUCH better price than the $4 Vlasics, definitely worth a try.

Acme brand sandwich bags, 150ct-on sale 3 for 5 or $1.67 each; I got $0.75 off each with e-savings, plus the 15%; the highest price I will pay for these is about a penny per bag, so this falls well under it.

That’s all I used from my e-savings, even though I had more items. The other just wasn’t a good enough price or I didn’t want the items. I was bummed because I got $2 off ABSORBENT paper towels, but they are $8.99. It’s the AWESOME ones that are $4.99. Still $4.99 is a decent price minus 15% for paper towels, if they work ok. If it was the others that were $4.99, then minus $2 and 15%–that would have been great! Which is why I was bummed it didn’t work that way.

Other items that were on sale, just got the 15%, no e-savings:

Java Delight coffee-4.99 (we really like this, it’s still a 12 oz bag while others have downsized to 10 or 11 oz; I just refuse to pay 9.49 for a 10 oz bag of Starbucks. That would be $60 a month for my husband & I to drink coffee! Seriously!?!)

Acme chicken broth-$0.50 can (smaller can)

Big cans of black beans-1.09

Apple juice-$2; this is actually $0.25 higher than the Dollar General price for Mott’s; but at $1.70 with the 15% off, I got a few and it will save me a trip to DG.

I also checked out the Acme brand waffles, since I got $0.70 off on my e-savings. With the $0.70 off, they’d be about a buck per box, then take another 15%. I am STILL swimming in Eggos from last summer’s deal, and I just can’t justify spending even $0.85 on a box of waffles. I was disappointed that the frozen pancakes were significantly higher in price (also included in e-savings) as I would have gotten some of those.

Live in & around Kennett Square?

March 15, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

On hotcouponworld, it’s an idea that we’ve tossed around a couple of times–a weekly coupon swap. But I think it’s finally going to happen. Right now we’re looking at early Saturday mornings–so parents can still get to kids’ activities & sports. Like maybe 7:30 or 8, meet till 8:45 or as long/short as people want to stay.

What we’d do–
Bring any extra coupons that you don’t want, so that maybe others can use them. Hopefully gain some coupons for your own binder that you’ve been looking for.

And-
We’d do a rundown of deals at each store-CVS, Walgreen’s, Rite Aid, Acme, Giant & Superfresh. Highlight the bargains you plan to get to share, and learn about some deals you may have overlooked in the ad.

Right now, I think 3/26 would be a good day to start–at the McDonald’s in Kennett? Does that work for everyone?
