I was at both the Kennett Giant today and Landenberg CVS and saw many cold and flu meds on clearance. Both of those stores will take a coupon on a clearance item, so it will be very cheap! At Giant they were on a special table in the freezer dept, at CVS they were on the shelves with the other cold meds, but they all had larger hang tags that said either 50% or 75% off.
Walgreen’s-FREE photos and cheap school supplies
August 2, 2008 by · Leave a Comment
This Wednesday only, Walgreen’s is offering one free roll of film developing.The coupon can be found in the weekly circular at the front of the store. The film developing is one roll per person, so if you have more than one, bring your spouse or kids. While you’re waiting for the one-hour film developing, take a look at the other coupons in the flyer for school supplies. Very cheap! Lots of decent items for $0.09 and $0.19. Happy shopping.
No more Wal-Mart deals for a while….Walgreen’s is better anyway.

For a long time I didn’t shop at Walmart due to the way it was reported that they treat their employees. Then I let my guard down and gradually started shopping there again. But it looks like it’s time for another boycott, even if I do only spend pennies on the dollar there. I like Obama. That’s who I plan to vote for. At this point, I don’t know of anything that would make me vote Republican.
And I read this article on Yahoo: “Wal-Mart Reportedly Urges Managers to Lobby Against Obama”
So while I hate for a bargain blog to get political, this is why you won’t be seeing any more Wal-Mart deals posted here for a while. At least not until after Obama wins, then I can go there and give them a big “nyah nyah.”
There is life without Wal-Mart. Walgreen’s has been showing much better prices on school supplies this summer. And Rubinstein’s will soon be kicking off their back-to-school sales, and wouldn’t you rather support the little local guy? We get all of our health and beauty items free at CVS, paying with ECBs, anyway. I won’t miss Wal-Mart.
One more reason to shop at Walgreen’s, if you need it–their philosophy on hiring disabled people. And check out this article from MSNBC.
Acme Ad-begins 8/1
August 1, 2008 by · 2 Comments
After a few disappointing weeks, this week’s ad is looking a bit better. Some really good deals that I see:
Hatfield Meats–all are 50% off, and there are lots of coupons out there, if you’ve been clipping them. My “meat” section of my coupon folder is filled with Hatfield coupons, so this could make for some good deals. Also, Hatfield e-coupons occasionally show up on my Avenu savings, so be sure to check there too.
Kellogg’s–Kellogg’s is running a “Buy 10 Kellogg’s items, save $5 instantly at checkout.” It appears the prices range from $1.25 for Poptarts to about $2 for other items. This Sunday’s paper will have a huge Kellogg’s insert but I don’t know what the specific coupons will be. In any event, it looks like we should be able to get 10 Kellogg’s items for less than $1 an item, after the discount and coupons. And there probably will be a mail-in-rebate (mir) in this Sunday’s paper, so the items could turn out to be free or a moneymaker. If you’ve been toying with the idea of asking friends & neighbors for their leftover coupons, so that you have multiples, this is the time to do it.
Pillsbury crescent rolls: advertised as 10 for 10, or $1 a piece. You don’t have to buy 10 to get that price. In last week’s paper, there were $0.35 coupons for these, which will be doubled to $0.70, so final cost is $0.30 for a tube of crescent rolls.
Softsoap handsoap: Also advertised for $1 each. I have two separate coupons for this, from last week’s paper. One is for $1 off 3, the other is for $0.35 off one, which will be doubled to $0.70. Depending on which coupon you have, the soap will be $0.30-$0.65 a bottle, not bad.
Yoplait: 10 cups of yogurt for $4.50, or $0.45 each, must buy 10. I have two separate coupons for this as well. I have a buy 4 whips, get 1 free. That will make the final cost for 10 to be $3.60, or $0.36 a piece. I also have a save $0.40 off 6, which will double to $0.80. Final cost will be $3.70, or $0.37 a piece.
Proctor & Gamble— is running a deal, spend $20, get a $5 oyno. There also will be P&G coupons in this Sunday’s paper. Not a great deal, definitely not a stock-up price, but not too bad if you need the items.
Kraft singles: are 2 for $6 and I have $1 off one coupons, I think from last week. $2 isn’t bad. And there’s another coupon in the flyer for Free loaf of bread wyb four kraft items.
Hot dogs–all hot dogs are bogo. There are lots of coupons out there for Oscar Mayer, check the IP websites. It also looks like the Oscar Mayer hot dogs will work towards the free bread deal, since Oscar Mayer is a Kraft brand.
Dannon-yogurt is on sale for 50% off. Check your Avenu savings daily, as Dannon offers frequently show up. Last time they did this I got 4-packs of Dannon for $0.34.
Beef tenderloin: $7.99 a pound, but you have to buy a whole tenderloin, so expect to spend $30-$40 on it. I’m on the fence whether or not I want to get one. We like to have them around the holidays, but I have seen them at Acme for as low as $4.99 and $5.99. So I may wait.
Some of the above mentioned coupons may also be found at coupons.com.
