Quaker deal at Superfresh (and other deals too)
November 6, 2010 by · 1 Comment
And no, I don’t mean just a deal for card-carrying Quakers, ha ha. This is why I get excited about oatmeal deals. First, I’ve been eating Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Maple & Brown Sugar, for almost 40 years. I just love it. And my hubby and kids love it. If we eat it, on a chilly morning like today: I eat 2 packets, Hubby eats 4, 4year old eats 2, 1 year old eats 1. That’s 9 packets a day and there are only 10 packets in a box! If I paid full price for it, that’s almost $130/month, just for oatmeal.
So, I won’t pay more than $1 a box and anything less than that is my stock up price. This is the time to stock up on oatmeal as it doesn’t really go on sale much during spring/summer months.
The Superfresh/A&P chains have a buy $20 worth, get $5 back. Working on shelf prices. If you’re lucky enough to have a store that has $4.19 and up for shelf price, get five to hit the $20 threshhold. Then, it’s on sale for $2 per box, so without coupons, you’ll pay $10, get $5 back. Use the $5 certificate to complete any further transactions, and you’ll pay $5 cash out of pocket, get $5 back.
There aren’t too many coupons out there to go with this unfortunately. There was a $2 printable if you can find it. In boxes of oatmeal, if you have any in your pantry, there are $0.75 coupons in some boxes and they will double. And, there might be coupons out for other products in the Quaker family. All Quaker cereals are included such as Life, not just the oatmeal. But good luck, and $1 per box is a good deal for this even without coupons.
Here’s a LINK that may get you some printables, I’m having trouble loading it. But you can always check out my friend Heidi’s site at Printable Coupon Spot.
And when you’ve got all the cereal you need, look for the Swanson chicken broth deal. I plan on rolling my catalinas into that, it’s hard to find deals for it. And make sure you pick up a 1/2 of butter for $0.99. Unfortunately limit is 1, but it sure is better than Acme’s sale price. The Earthbound organic salad is a good price, so are the chicken breasts and the steaks.
Definitely Superfresh for my weekly trip this week!
time to start collecting photos

Here’s a kodak deal for a free 5×7 book. And if you’re not already a member of kodakgallery, you should get 50 free prints when you register.
And here is a list of some snapfish deals.

This weekend the Variety Club of Philly is doing their weekend at Sesame Place. Only $25 per family! And it’s not too late to get in on it. Last minute is even better, because you have a better idea what the weather is going to be like.
This offer is only available to Special Needs families.
We went in the spring and are planning to go tomorrow. Supposed to be chilly, but that’s ok. At that price, I won’t feel bad if we don’t stay all day. Money saving tip: Pack your lunches! I found the food there to be very pricy.
And speaking of special needs kids….have you voted for IDEAS in the Pepsi Challenge today?
