I was doing our weekly trip this morning, and since I already receive half of my Sunday paper today, I knew that there are no Kellogg’s coupons to be had. In other words, no point in waiting for my Sunday inserts (which I get on Mondays) to try to score some freebies. I just wanted milk, lunchmeat, produce and few other odds & ends.

Here’s what I found, and this is at the Avondale Acme, your store may vary.

Back by the milk there is an Oreo display with a tearpad on it. “Save $1 on ANY Nabisco cookies when you buy a gallon of milk.” Well, as it turns out, I had 3 gallons of milk in my cart. Over in the cookie aisle, the little containers of Nabisco cookies are $1.29, or now, $0.29 with the coupon.

In today’s (tomorrow’s) paper, there is a $1.50 off 3 Snyder’s flavored pretzels coupon. I love those stinkin things, but at upwards of $3.50 for a small bag, don’t buy them often. Ok, on sale for $2.50 per bag. With this coupon, down to $2 a bag when you buy 3, I was going to splurge. Then, in the cereal aisle–Crispix is a part of the Kellogg’s deal ($1.50 each when you buy 6). Crispix also happens to be one of my hubby’s favorite cereals and we don’t have any in the stockpile. Got 4 of those plus two other items to hit the 6. The Crispix boxes have peelies on them–“Save $1.50 on any pretzels when you buy 2 crispix.” Pulled 2 of the peelies off the boxes because I had 4 boxes–stuck the other 2 peelies in my binder.

So now that looks like this (keep in mind that Crispix is something I’d want to buy anyway–

3 pretzels=$7.50

Minus the two $1.50 peelies, $3
Minus the $1.50 coupon from today’s paper.

Brings the total down for my pretzels to $3, or $1 per bag. Seeing as I think these are usually 3.69/bag regular price, this is  a great deal!

Also lots of outdated meat with $2 and $3 peelies on it. Now I have to go make meatballs!
