In my paper today (which is actually tomorrow’s paper), I got the ad for the new 5-day sale at Genuardi’s (part of Safeway chain).
The frozen food deal, looks promising, or it could be a bust–depends on if we can double dip on the deals.
Look for the frozen food coupon booklet they are advertising, there’s a picture of it in the ad. According to this, it looks like it will be based on sale prices, not shelf prices. I haven’t been to Genuardi’s in a while, if someone is positive it will work on shelf prices, please chime in!
First, prior to the 5-day sale, this is what Genuardi’s was advertising:
Ore-Ida Potatoes, 19 to 32-oz, $2.99 ea.
Buy Any 3, SAVE $3 Instantly when you use your Club Card to purchase Any Participating Gorton’s Items (14-24.5 oz) or Ore-Ida Frozen Potatoes (20-32 oz)
Purchases must be made in a single transaction between 2/16/11 – 3/1/11.
Now, the new sale states this: Save $5 instantly with minimum $15 purchase of ANY FROZEN ITEMS sold in store, with card and coupon. (caps theirs!) Excludes meat & seafood items.
To make it even better, there are frozen food coupon booklets out, and I’ve had quite a bit of luck finding them at the Kennett Square store. They are $1 off 1 or $1 off 2, depending on which variety you buy.
If the sales overlap when you use the in-ad coupon plus your card–
6 bags X $2.99=17.94 (do we dare try it on shelf price?)
If the $3 off 3 comes off, down to $11.94, and the $5 off $15 makes it $6.94. If you bought one of the varieties that qualifies for the $1 off 1 coupon, and you can find 6 booklets, you’re down to $0.94 for 6 bags of Ore Ida!
I have a toddler and a preschooler, so I’m enthused at the thought of cheap tater tots. $2 is pretty much my upper limit of what I will spend on a bigger bag of these, so I’d be ok with $1.15 if I can’t use the booklet coupons.
Also in the booklet, is a $2 off any 3 Eggo products, 5.3oz+. I don’t need Eggos, I’m still swimming in them from last summer’s Giant deal. But they are on sale for 2 for $5. Six boxes would = $15. Minus two $2 coupons, plus $5 instant savings=$6 for six boxes of Eggos.
Green Giant veggies, on sale 3 for $5
9 boxes to get to your $15
Minus $5 instant savings=$10
In the 2/13 inserts, there were $0.60 off three boxes, which will double to $1.20
If you have one coupon, $8.80 for nine boxes, two coupons=7.60, three coupons=6.40, for nine boxes of veggies!
Better yet, here is a printable for $0.50 off one that will double. Another printable. Or use coupons.com banner at top of blog (affiliate link).
Kashi, $3.49
Printable
$1.50 off one! printable Must register first, then should be able to print two.
Wanchai Ferry-$6.49
Good printables, and another, and another. I’ve never tried these, I had the PFChang’s ones, and they were just ok. Fine enough for a quick weeknight meal when we have stuff to do, but not fantastic.
Stouffers and Lean Cuisine are $2 each and you get a free Edy’s something (shake or smoothie) when you buy 5 of the meals. I don’t know if that freebie item would count towards your $15 or not, can’t hurt to try. The coupon booklet also has $1 off 3 coupons in it for these items.
Morningstar Farms is on sale for $3.69, there are almost always $0.75 off one tearpads at Acme, and they double. My older son likes the rice/veggie cakes, and it’s a healthier option for his lunches. printable $1 off one
Also in the ad, they’ve highlighted what you can combine with e-savings and paper coupons, specifically for Procter & Gamble products. The Swiffer rags are a good price.
I am going to try to get there tomorrow and get some Ore Ida, will report back what works.
Other items that are good prices:
Quaker instant oatmeal, 1.77
Cheezits, 1.88
Kellogg’s, 1.99; if Cinn Corn flakes are included, only $0.49 with this printable
poptarts 1.49 if your kids eat them and the mini ones are included, only $0.09 with this printable
Check out the items that are 9.99 each when you buy two. Specifically the Tide-because if you can stack that with the coupons in tomorrow’s paper, decent price. $0.50 printable for the Cottonelle.
