Cereal Coupons and a Deal

Grab these cereal coupons before they are gone! You never know when there is going to be a great sale on cereal. If you are like me,  I see them and don’t print them then there is a sale and the coupons are GONE and I miss out.  In fact, there is a sale at Giant(Martin’s) next week that includes the Dulce de Leche Cheerios.  Remember to print the coupon twice although Giant will only double one. The cereal is also part of a buy XX, save XX per gallon of gas so stack those savings!!

$1.00 off 1 Honey Bunches of Oats cereal
$1.00 off one Pebbles Giant Size cereal
$0.75 off Dulce de Leche Cheerios cereal

Rumor Patrol: Kennett Giant, Genuardi’s & Delaware News Journal

Some rumors I heard this week:

1. The Genuardi’s in Kennett Square is in fact going to be transformed over to a Giant. They will keep both Kennett Square locations open.

2. The people at Giant have taken over the lease of the old Acme in New Garden, to prevent any other grocers from coming in. One member of the Smart Spending Spot team has seen a bunch of activity at the location, mainly dry wall being hauled in. Guess we’ll have to wait & see what it is.

3. I was informed that in a few weeks, the price of the Sunday News Journal is going up to $3 a week. This particular person (a vendor) was told “They’re going after the Extreme Couponers.” So, it appears that only couponers are buying newspapers anymore, so charge them more?? Yeah, makes a TON of sense–people that want to save money, charge them more. All the more reason to buy the Daily Local instead–both papers carry both SS and Red Plum.

 

 

Giant: dollar doublers in the lobby!

I went to Giant this morning to use up the last of my $5 catalinas. In the lobby, they had a shelving unit holding the weekly sales flyers/ads as usual. But what was different this time is that it was actually stocked with dollar doublers! Usually the only way to get those is in the mail. I always assumed it was a sort of quantity control thing-that they didn’t want you picking them up at the store and using more than four. But if you need/want more, that’s where I found them.

No coupons? No problem! week of May 9

Sorry I’m a little late with this one this week. My pick of the week is still going to be Giant! I went there this morning and had mixed success.

First, the Hallmark catalina offer is still working. Buy any three cards and get $5 back. The $0.99 cards work and I’ve purchased dozens. But, I did have one transaction this morning not work for me, so choose carefully and be prepared to return them or eat the cost if it doesn’t work. At the Kennett Square store they do have $0.99 Father’s Day cards. I also read online that in Altoona, PA, the store has been instructed to NOT restock any of the $0.99 cards until this deal is over. Pfft! So while this is a great deal, it’s turning into a YMMV (your mileage may vary) deal very quickly.

The Scott deal is also still running through this week. But any three Scott items from different categories, and get $3 back. The three categories are toilet paper, paper towels and wet wipes. The paper towels are $1 and the small TP roll is $0.87, so you can just pay $1.87+ tax and get $2 back. And that $2 will roll onto a second deal, just make sure you have something to eat up the overage. I’ve been using the $0.50 coupon on the wipes, which are $1.89. Once that coupon doubles, I’m paying $0.87 + $0.89 +$1.00 and getting $3 back. Love free TP!

But if you don’t have any coupons, still lots of small freebies to be had at Giant. I am completely stocked in greeting cards now, for the next few years!
