A and P: Week of 9/26


Green Mountain K Cups $4.99 (you need the in-ad coupon for this)
Final Cost:  $3.99 each

Quaker Quick Oats $1.49 (this is the buy 10 mix and match deal)
Use $1/1 from 9/12 RP
Or use $1/1 from 8/29 RP
Final Cost:  $.49 each

Kraft 100 Calorie Cheese Snack bags $2.00
Final Cost:  $1.00 each

Sorrento Mozzarella $1.67 (need the in ad coupon for this too)
Use $1/2 from 6/20 SS
FinalCost:  $1.17

Dannon Danoninos Yogurt $2.00
Use $.55/1 from 9/12 SS
Final Cost:  $.90

Kraft Catalina Deal
Buy $20 worth of Kraft products and get $20 in CATS to spread over the next 5 weeks (a little different than ShopRite right there)  Also, this is less transparent – it doesn’t specify that it will be Kraft coupons, so it might be a straight CAT deal, but I’m not promising nothing.

This would include:
Kraft Singles $3.49
Use $1/2 from 9/26 SS

Philly Cream Cheese $1.67

Miracle Whip $3.99
Use $1/2 from 9/26 SS

Kraft Salad Dressing $2.99
Use $.55/1 from 8/29 SS

Ritz Crackers $2.50

Oreos $2.99

Maxwell House Coffee $2.99
Use $1/1 from 9/26 SS

Stop and Shop: week of 9/26


Dannon Yogurt $.50 each
Final Cost:  $.33 each

Maxwell House Coffee $1.99
Use $1/1 printable coupon
Final Cost:  $.99 each

Oreos $1.99 (yeah, I’m an addict)
Use $1/1 Printable
Final Cost:  $.99

Tribe Hummus $3.99
Use $1/1 Printable
Final Cost:  $2.99

Barilla Pasta Sauce $2.00
Use $1/2 from 8/29 SS
Final Cost:  $1.50 each

Stop and Shop has an interesting P&G deal – instead of a CAT, you get a $10 pre-paid gift card (hmmm, have they finally given up on trying to fix the programming in their computers for redeeming the CATs??)
Anyway ---
Included in this one are: 
Downy Fabric Softener $3.99
$1/1 from 9/26 PG or 8/15 SS
OR $.50/1 from 8/29 PG
OR $1.50/1 on the Ultra from 8/22 SS

Tide $10.99

Charmin $11.99

Pantene $2.99

Puffs Tissues 3 pack $4.99

Crest $2.50

Dawn Dish soap $2.50
But I don’t see coupons at high enough values to offset these and turn them into a good deal.  We’ll see as the week rolls along. 

Stop and Shop is also doing a spend $20 get a $5.00 instant deduction on Kraft products.  These have been problematic for couponers in the past, because as soon as the total dips below the $20.00 mark, the $5.00 disappears from the register.  Very frustrating.  And the instant deduction deals never seem to work on shelf price. 

If you want to try it --- the following are included and might work out to be a decent deal:
Maxwell House Coffee $2.50
Use $1/1 from 9/26 SS

Oscar Mayer meats and bacon $3.00

Kraft Singles $2.50

Oreos (see above)

Cracker Barrel Cheese $2.50

Shop Rite: Week of 9/26


Barilla Pasta $1.05 each
Use $1/2 from 8/29 SS
Final Cost: $.55 each (not my best price, but it will do)

Libby’s Vegetables $.50
Use $1/3 from 8/29 RP
Final Cost: $.17 each

Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup $.60
Use $.40/2 from 8/29 SS
Final Cost:  $.20 each

Apple and Eve Juice $2.00
Final Cost:  $.50 each

Sorrento Ricotta $2.99
Use $1/2 from 6/20 SS
Final Cost:  $1.66

Sorrento Mozzarella $1.77
Use $1/2 from 6/20 SS
(printable isn’t good on the mozzarella)
Final Cost: $1.27 each

Nesquick Milk $1.00
Use $1/2 from 8/8 RP
OR use $.50/1 from 8/1 RP
Final Cost:  FREE with the 8/1 coupon

Kraft Shred Cheese $1.99
Final Cost:  $.99 each

Hatfield Ham Steak $2.00
Use $1/1 from 9/19 RP
Final Cost:  $1.00

Borden Singles $1.99
Final Cost:  $.99

Wednesday through Saturday ONLY
Soft Soap Hand Soap (Elements)  $.88
Use $.35/1 from 9/19 RP
Final Cost:  $.18

There are a couple of CAT deals that look promising.  The Tide and Bounty don’t seem to add up to much of a deal.  But if you’re an Herbal Essences fan – and don’t mind paying a little bit for shampoo ---
2x Herbal Essences $2.99 each
Use 2x $1/1 from 9/12 SS
Pay $3.98 – Get $3.00 CAT
Final Cost:  $.49 each

Then there is the CRAZY Kraft Buy $20 get $20 CAT deal … this isn’t a straight CAT deal --- the $20 is in 4x $5.00 each good for one of the next 4 weeks – and not good on ANY purchase --- if you’re not a regular Shop Rite shopper, this probably won’t work out to be a good deal for you.  

Included in this deal is Maxwell House Coffee $1.99
Use the $1/1 from 9/26 SS
Register Cost;  $.99 each
But I’m thinking that 11x $1.99 = $21.89 (to trigger the CAT)
Less 11x $1/1 = $10.89
Get $20 CAT coupons back

Also – the Kraft cheese singles are listed as included in the deal --- maybe we’ll get lucky and the shred cheese from up above will be included too…. That could turn into a sweet deal.
11 cheeses  $21.89
 Register Cost:  $11.89
Get $20 CAT coupons back

OR you could work this with the Philly Cream Cheese $.99 each
Those could come out totally FREE with the $5/5 Kraft Cheese Product printable if it includes them. 

Also – remember that Kool Aid is a Kraft product (and seems to be included)  A $.20 packet of KoolAid can push you over the $20.00 mark when you’re dealing with $.99 items

There are also a bunch of Ritz products that are included.  This might make for some very cheap crackers. 

Purina also has a crazy $20/$20 CAT deal (same idea – you get 4 different CATs each good for a different week – and each only good on Purina products)  If you’re not a real Purina user, this is probably not worth it (Price Chopper is running the same deal)

And last, but not least --- Nestle decided this was a good idea as well.  Yep, $20/$20 CAT deal for them too

This one includes 
Juicy Juice $2.00

Taster’s Choice $6.99
Use $1/1 from 9/12 RP
Or sue $.55/1 from Sept All You

Nestle Chocolate Chips $1.99
Final Cost:  $1.50 each (but count toward the CAT)

Nestle Halloween Size Candy $2.50
Use $.50/1 from 8/1 RP

Haagen Daz Ice Cream cups $1.00
Haagen Daz Bars $3.00
No coupons, but still
20x Haagen Daz Cups = $20.00
Get $20.00 back in CAT coupons --- heck its Haagen Daz, how could it be wrong??

There are a bunch of other items that qualify for this deal, but none that even look remotely interesting to me.

Walgreens: Week of 9/26

It looks like the beginning of stock-up time for the winter cold and flu season.  Remember, one of the tricks to shopping this way is anticipating your future needs.  Winter is coming (it always does) and colds and flu’s are right behind it.  You  will need cold remedies, Kleenex and whatever else you use to combat the nasty viruses.  Start thinking ahead --- how much will you likely use for the entire winter?  It can sit on your shelf as easily as the store’s shelf.  Get it now for free --- don’t pay top dollar for it when you need it.

Big Y: Week of 9/26


You know I’m not a huge Big Y gal – they participate in CAT deals which makes deals that much harder to come by.  Also, depending on which Big Y you shop around here – they are not terribly coupon friendly (that would be especially true for the GB store)  But there are a couple of really good prices this week --- so I’ll probably make a super quick stop and take advantage of the deals: 

Big Y Brand Eggs $.99 each
Big Y brand Butter $.99 (this looks like its only a half pound, so its not as great a deal as it first looks)
Gold Medal Flour $.99
Fresh Express Garden Salad $.99
Baby Bella Mushrooms $.99
And don’t forget –
Green Giant Frozen Veggies $1.00

Thursday, September 23, 2010

Big Y: FREEBIE 9/23

This week's ad has Green Giant Boxed Vegetables priced at just $1. 
Go and print this $0.50/1 Green Giant Frozen Vegetables coupon 
The coupon should double at BIg Y --- and that would make them FREE
Don't forget to hit the back button so you get two coupons per computer!!

CVS: Make the Shave Gel deal better

You may have noticed that the shave gel deal at CVS included the Edge shave gel as well as the Schick Hydra --- and you might have wondered why I only listed the Schick part of the deal --- Well  -- that was the only one that worked out to a price I was willing to pay for shave gel.  But ----- Edge has come out with a printable coupon for  B1G1 FREE Edge Shave Gel coupon.  Click through and print the coupon ---- and get a great deal on the Edge shave gel if you prefer it (or if you don't have the Schick coupon)
