I didn’t get it, but some HCW members are reporting that they got an e-coupon on their Avenu
for $1 off 2-liters of soda. The same 2-litres that are $1 each! Diet 7-up is one of them.

Happy Harry’s in Hockessin-Grand Opening
August 8, 2008 by · Leave a Comment
Happy Harry’s in Hockessin–say that three times fast! It’s the new one at 41 & Brackenville Road. They are having their grand opening deals right now. Normally I wouldn’t go out of my way for something like this, but I had to pick some things up at my vet, who also is on Brackenville Road, so I was going that way anyway. I also still had some RRs to use and needed water to take to the beach.
Here are the deals, pick up a circular at front of store:
$3 off a $10 purchase-coupon on front of circular. You can use this coupon before your mfr coupons, so it’s a good deal. exp 8/16
$25 gift card with a new or transferred prescription; other pharmacies will often take competitors’ coupons, so even if you don’t use it there, save it and consider using it elsewhere. I know CVS takes competitors’ coupons. I had a prescription to fill anyway, and it has no co-pay, so it was a free $25 for me. Coupon expires 8/30.
20 FREE 4×6 prints from your digital camera, exp 8/9
FREE DVD–transfer a home video that you have on VHS to DVD for free. exp 8/9
Here’s what I got:
7.69 pack of 40 diapers (on clearance)
2.99 Glade pet odor remover
3.99 case of water
1.25 mesh bag full of rubber ducks (Kevin is in a rubber duck phase because of Ernie)
0.00 prescription
15.92 total
minus
$3 off $10 coupon
$1.50 Glade printable
$1.50 Glade coupon from Walgreen’s booklet
$5.00 register rewards
$4.92 final total
Got back: $25 Walgreen’s gift card, plus a catalina coupon for four FREE 8×10 photos
Oh, and it isn’t my intent to keep this Rx at this location. When it’s time to refill it again, I’ll look for another transfer coupon and get another gift card to transfer it back to my regular pharmacy.
Acme ad–Aug 8-14
August 8, 2008 by · Leave a Comment
Got my Acme ads yesterday. I just went on Tuesday, so I probably won’t be going, but here are some decent deals that I see. In addition to the weekly ad, the new Big Book of Savings, the book of monthly deals, also arrived.
Weekly deals:
Chicken breasts: $1 a pound, but you have to buy 10lbs. Good deal if you have the freezer space. Still plenty of good grilling time left in the summer. Bobby Flay has some good recipes for bone-in-breast grilling.
Hatfield bacon: bogo; this is my favorite bacon and it freezes well.
Eight o’clock coffee: is 3 for $10 and there are printables on smartsource for $1. It will probably let you print 2, so get 2 for $6.66, minus $2, $4.44.
Friskies cat food: on sale and there was a coupon in last week’s paper. I don’t have a cat.
General Mills: good GM deal going on. Buy 4 items, get $2 off at register. Combine that with the IPs available on their website. There also are more coupons coming this Sunday for GM items.
Yoplait: kids is 2 for $5, which is good. It’s usually 2 for $6, and there are $1 coupons on the website above.
Ben & Jerry’s: bogo. There used to be $1 off 2 printables available for this, but I can’t find them online. Still half-price isn’t bad if you like it. There have been tearpads spotted at various stores, so keep your eyes open.
Deals from monthly booklet:
Wishbone: on sale 2 for $4; there were $1 coupons in last week’s paper
Ragu: 2 for $4; last time this went on sale I also had e-coupons and clipped coupons, making this almost free. I’m glad it’s a monthly deal, hopefully some coupons will show up this Sunday.
Kashi: several items 2 for $5, if you haven’t already printed your $2 coupons from their website, do so and get your items for $0.50 each.
Stroehman: potato bread is bogo if you like it. Half price is good, bread seems to be $3 or $4 a loaf these days.
San Giorgio pasta: $1 a box. Keep your eyes open for coupons, hopefully some will show up. All we need is a $0.50 one, and it’s free!
Mott’s for Tots juice: 2 for $5 and there are $1 coupons coming this Sunday.
Wild Harvest organics: lots of items on sale, print your two $1 coupons here.
Stonyfield farm: yogurts are 2 for 5 also. Lots of printables here.
That’s all I see for right now and my coffee cup is empty. If I see or hear more, I’ll edit this.
clearance at Peebles
August 7, 2008 by · 3 Comments
Despite having lived in this area for more than 10 years, I just started shopping at Peebles within the past year or 2. I guess it was a combination of higher gas prices and being a new mom (less time) that forced me to take a closer look at this local store.
I like it. Their regular prices on items aren’t so great, but then again I rarely pay regular full price for anything. Their sales are decent, they publish coupons in the regular paper, and my favorite part–their clearance racks. They also usually allow you to use one of the 20% off coupons with the clearance items.
I was shopping for a gift over the weekend so I went there. I perused the clearance racks and was pleased to find that the clearance toddler boys’ clothing was a mix of summer and fall items. Of course, for every rack of boys’ clothing they had 10 racks of girls’ clothing, but that is pretty much how it is everywhere. Moms of boys know this.
I bought two long-sleeved tops for Kevin, very nice quality, for $2.99 each, originally $16. I also got him a fleece zip hoodie for $6, originally $22. It’s a very good quality, thicker fleece. It’s really just one step below a winter coat which I like. I hate winter coats and carseats together.
Anyway, I didn’t post the deals because part of me was thinking that I could have done better. Sure enough, I could have. On Monday I finally got around to reading my little weekly papers, and the Chester County Press had two 20% off coupons in it. I could have saved another $2. Ok, it’s only $2. I’m a die-hard bargain shopper, what can I say.
So if you’re over that way, check it out. The men’s and women’s racks still had plenty to choose from too, but the home stuff was pretty picked over.
