I was at both Kohl’s (Kirkwood Hwy) and Kmart (Pike Creek) this morning and both stores have tons of summer merchandise on clearance. Prices were $1-$5 per item at Kmart. At Kohl’s the signs read ’60-80% off.’ In both stores I only looked at women’s, toddler and maternity merchandise, but plenty of good deals to be had if you want to put it away until next year.
Gas deal appears to be a bust
September 21, 2008 by · 1 Comment
Sorry, but the Acme/Exxon deal appears to be a disappointment. Not only are there no Exxon stations around here, but what I’m hearing from other couponers is that Exxon is usually $0.10 to $0.20 higher per gallon than other stations–so there wouldn’t be any real savings. Oh well.
ETA: A reader posted a comment that the Landenberg Exxon usually has decent prices. Glad at least someone is getting to take advantage of this deal.
Big Lots ad-Sept 21
September 20, 2008 by · Leave a Comment
Here is the weekly ad for Big Lots that starts tomorrow. I don’t know if it’s the programmable one, but they have Roombas for $95. The Roomba has changed my life! I used to vacuum my house at least once a day, seriously. Now I program it to vacuum right before I get home, I love it.
There’s also a kid’s shopping cart, some Crayola items, other things you may want to consider for xmas gifts.
Acme ad-Sept 19-25
September 19, 2008 by · Leave a Comment
Well, my bubble is burst a little bit, but there’s still hope. I was so excited about getting a gas deal only to find there are no Exxons around here. I figure at some point I will earn a gas coupon, so I’m holding out hope that I can use it at a Mobil station. Obviously Acme is trying to get us to do all of our holiday grocery shopping at Acme, which is a smart strategy. I’ll continue to bounce between Giant and Acme depending on who is having a better week. This week’s ad is still ok, not great, just ok. Overall it does look better than Giant.
Perdue-whole chickens are bogo, I like having one or two in the freezer.
Nestle/Stouffer’s-there are items on sale and there were coupons last week. I ditched my coupons–I do not buy Nestle items, because of this.
Hamburger Helper-if you eat it, it’s $1 and there are almost always printables for this at bettycrocker.com or the other coupon printable sites.
Chef Boyardee–also a $1 and I saw coupons in Good Housekeeping that I received yesterday.
Soda-select sodas are $0.79 for 2-liters and they are brands that occasionally pop up on my Avenu savings. Keep checking yours–could be free, or good time to get some soda to have on hand for holiday guests.
Acme brand baking products-good coupons, good prices on front cover of circular.
Green Giant steamers-if you didn’t get your free ones at Giant, you can get them this week at Acme for $0.50 with coupon.
General Mills deal-spend $25, get $5 off instantly at checkout. Lots of coupons to go along with this in recent weeks.
Edy’s-on sale 3 for $10 and it is still showing up on my Avenu occasionally, would be $1.33 after Avenu savings.
Kleenex-$1, there are $1 off 3 coupons out there from recent weeks.
Stroehmann bread-$2.50 which sadly is a good price for bread these days.
