deals:
#1: This week with the circular there were two mini pages of store coupons. Save these, they might make some good deals in upcoming weeks. From past experience, most of the these items will go on special and have parallel manufacturers coupons that you will be able to stack with these store coupons. Lowes is great. They will allow you to use one of these coupons with a mfg coupon at the same time. I even picked up a second set at the front of the store.
#2: New York frozen garlic bread has a peelie on front that you can peel off. It is for .55 off any New York product. You can then take that coupon to Teeter if you are going there and buy the crutons, that are already 1.59 BOGO and get 1 bag for .80-.55/1= .24 if the coupon does not double and if it doubles you will have .30 in overage.
#3: Be on the lookout for the 2.00 off a Freschetta pizza hangtags on bottles of wine. I found 2 hangtags on Alice White bottles of wine. Now the 3/9.99 pizza will be 3.33-2.00= 1.33. I found a rebate by Miller that when you spend 10.00 on pizza you get 5.00 back. I am on the hunt for 2 more winetags and then I will buy 4 to be safe and submit my receipt for the rebate. So the final deal will look like this:
4 pizzas @ 3.33 ea= 13.32
- (4) 2.00/1 coupons
= 5.32 oop (out of pocket)
submit 5.00 rebate
final cost .32 + tax for 4 pizzas
#4: From 1-2-08 until 1-15-08 Lowes is having a promotion that if you purchase 4 Kelloggs cereals, you will get a free gallon of milk. Of course, they are not going to have any Kelloggs on "sale" this week to help out the deal but if you go to www.coupons.com you will be able to print up 2 coupons for 1.00 off one box of Rice Krispies. That is the only Kelloggs coupon I have in my box. When the Sunday paper comes out I will look for another Kelloggs cereal coupon and then do the math and decide whether or not this will be a good deal for my family. For me, I will add up what one gallon of milk costs at Lowes, add up all the cereal prices minus coupons I have and have found and decide what I am really paying. I generally always buy my milk at Sam's Club for about 3.25 and do not like to spend more than 1.25 per box of cereal (x4) and will use this number (8.25) to see if Lowes is lower
and a better deal.
#5: This week it is advertised that if you buy 7 Quaker products you will get an instant $3.00 off your order. This is a great deal. They are SPECIFIC about what items they will consider as the "7" including: Captain Chrunch cereal, Life cereal, Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Quaker Chewy granola bars, and Aunt Jemima syrup. Here are several scenarios:
A. Buy 7 Instant Oatmeals, sale 2/4= 14.00
Use 7 mfg .70/1 coupons= 9.80 off
instant savings of 3.00 off
total 1.20 for 7 boxes of oatmeal, approx .17 a box
B. Buy 7 boxes of Captain Chrunch 2/4= 14.00
Use 7 mfg .50/1 coupons= 7.00
instant savings of 3.00 off
total 4.00 for 7 boxes of cereal, approx .57 a box
C. do a combo of cereal, oatmeal and could add the granola bars- but I am staying away from the granola bars because I do not have any coupons for them right now.
I realize not everyone will have 7 coupons for the items so just figure out with what you have and see if it is at an amount where you feel like it is a good deal for your grocery budget at this time. It also never hurts to see if anyone (you feel comfortable asking) has coupons for these items they are not using.
#6: Lowes accepts competitors coupons and thanks to Becky we found out that includes CVS coupons you can get at www.afullcup.com which can add into more deals. Each time I go into Lowes to shop I first go to the CSM (customer service mgr) desk and ask if they will accept the coupon I have ($5 off 15 or $4 off 20) and they say yes. I just wanted to make sure my ground is covered. Make sure you give them that coupon first when you check out and then give the cashier your mfg coupon. I learned this the hard way after the mfg coupons took my 30.00 order to 2 something and then they would not use the 2 off 10.00 coupon I had. I was ok with it because how can you complain when your order is 2 dollars but made mental note to self to use that coupon first the next time which worked out fine later in the week when I bought some more chicken and the deli select lunchmeat.
#7: If you make the Chicken Tetrazzini recipe, you will need noodles which there is a coupon for 1.00 off 2 of Muellers Whole Grain pasta which might be close to BOGO prices.
#8: go to www.afullcup.com and go to the Food Lion coupons. Print off several of the 2.00 off Oreo cookies. They are not on sale, but at regular price they are a good deal. On several of the Nabisco cookies are peelies for 1.00 off when you buy one package and a gallon of milk. Combine both coupons for what is called a double play: 2 levels of savings. Now that might become a good deal for you if you like Oreos. I am hoping that they go on BOGO next week and then you have a triple play or 3 levels of savings.
