Superfresh ad May 6-12, highlights & matchups

Dear Superfresh, Why did you even bother putting out an ad this week? Isn’t the goal of your ads to entice me into coming to your store, because of your good sales? Where are they? Am I missing pages? Sincerely, me & my readers

Gah! Seriously, the ad is smaller & thinner than usual, and nothing great.

Perdue stuff incl. breasts-50% off, may not be bad if you have the $0.75 coupons that will double (4/10 inserts)

There is however a catalina offer that I’d like to get excited about. It’s Pepsi, Tropicana, Frito Lay, Gatorade and Unilever (Unilever is Ragu, Lipton, Hellmanns, Breyers, Bertolli, Suave, I forget what else). But here’s the thing-“See store for list of participating items!” The ad just has a big picture of some items (and the pic includes some Reese’s items (Hershey product) which is odd.

It’s either get $7 when you spend $25 or get $12 when you spend $40. There were decent Pepsi/Tropicana/Frito Lay coupons last week. It should work on shelf prices like all of their other deals, but we don’t know the sale prices. It’s very difficult to put together decent transactions without having the sale prices in front of you!

If we want to do this deal and try for free stuff, it’s going to require in-store planning, grrr. Do you know how hard that is with a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old? First I was disappointed that SF wasn’t doing the superdoubles, now this. There are some decent loss leaders on the front page, if you use those items. The Perdue. Chips Ahoy for $1.99. Strawberries for $1.99/lb. Smart Ones for 8 for $10. Barilla pasta for $0.88. OS Cranberry for $1.50.

But once you move past the first page, that’s it. I’ll keep my eye on the discussion boards to see if anything good pops up, but we also have to wait until Sunday/Monday for our Unilever coupons. I hope the Acme or Giant ads look better than this. Will keep everyone posted, please leave a comment if you find something good!

A&P/Pathmark/Waldbaums Superdoubles this weekend

Note: I posted on the Superfresh Facebook wall this morning and asked if Superfresh was included. They replied with a big, fat NO. Oh well. Have fun all you A&P, Pathmark and Waldbaums shoppers!

Got this from hcw-it only mentions A&P, Pathmark & Waldbaums, we’ll have to wait & see if it includes SF, hopefully yes!  When I get home later, I’ll take a look at the ad & do some matchups, for now this is just the rules.

Superfresh to start offering Senior Appreciation Days

Starting next Tuesday, Seniors aged 55+ will save an extra 5% on purchases of $30 or more. Superfresh card and coupon (in circular) required. Coupon is only good for April 19, but judging from the wording, it appears that this will be a regular feature. Cool deal for those of you that qualify. I certainly would try to hand it over before handing over any mfr coupons to maximize savings. But 5% is 5%,  for my family that would be about an extra $20-$25 per month if I did all my trips at Superfresh.

Of course, before you go, don’t forget to load your zavers card to stack even more deals.

Superfresh: Free Batteries + reasonably priced diapers

Yay, I have a car today. I needed a few items so we went to Superfresh. (and I wanted to hit the Longwood Walgreen’s, more on that in a bit)

First, remember the Rayovac clearanced batteries that I blogged about last week? Well, the bin is still just about full, and they’ve been reduced again. Now they are down below a buck! So, if you have the $1 Rayovac coupons from last week’s inserts, or go to Facebook and like Rayovac to print your $1 coupons. They were about $0.80/package, so you should get the overage. Sometimes I actually wish I didn’t find free batteries as often as I do. I really have no excuse to not change the batteries in the annoying toys that we have. When a toy doesn’t work, my 2-year-old knows exactly where the free battery bin is and will bring it to me.

And diapers. I loaded up my zavers savings on my Superfresh card before I went. You can also print off what you load on to the card and I did. Here are some diaper and wipe deals. Not anywhere close to free, but not too bad.

Huggies-hopefully you have the insert coupons from either 2/27 or 3/20. The big refill pack of wipes is on sale for $5.49 and the tubs are $2.69. I had the coupon for “get a free tub when you buy the refill” from 2/27. I also had $0.50 off of Huggies wipes on my zavers. The coupon specifies that the wipes should be 600 ct or higher? But the CS person and I agreed that may be a typo, as the only place you’d find larger than 300 ct is at one of the warehouse clubs. I got the 284 count refill plus 72 count tub. Paid only $4.99 for both after coupon & zavers. That puts me at a little over a penny per wipe, which is usually the max I will pay. But my free wipes stockpile is dwindling, so I figured I’d get them.

Huggies diapers & pullups-On my zavers, I got a $2 off for both Huggies ANY pack of Pullups or Goodnites, and $2 off ANY pack of Huggies jumbo pack. Both are on sale for $8.99, or $6.99 after zavers. For the diapers though, the 2/27 inserts had a $3.50 off ANY Huggies diaper. So I only paid about $3.50 for the jumbo pack. That’s around $0.13 a diaper, again, over my stockup price which is $0.10/diaper. But my older son needs the larger sizes plus the Goodnites, so I got a pack of each for him. For the Pullups, I had a $2 coupon, also from either the 2/27 inserts or there have been many mailed to my home lately.

Pampers diapers-used the $2 coupon from the 2/27 inserts plus $2 on zavers. These are $9.99 this week, or about $6 per pack after both discounts. Again, not my stock up price, but I’m just glad to find size 6s for that cheap.

Reminder about zavers–each discount is only good for ONE item per transaction. You can reload them, once you go home and go back online. Or, on your smartphone if you have it setup. But no matter how many packs of Pullups you get, it’s only going to take $2 off. Not $2 for each. The zavers website does print out a very user friendly checklist of what you’ve chosen, so take that with you to keep track.

I also checked out the Viva. I have $3 off any 8-pack, and these are my favorite paper towels. The 8-pack is 9.99, then 6.99 with Zavers and minus another $1.70 if you have the $0.85 coupon from last week’s paper. $5.29–I passed. That wasn’t a sale price and those coupons or zavers aren’t going to expire for a while, so I’m holding out for a better deal.
