Stop and Shop: Week of 3/26

Hmmm --- I wonder if Stop and Shop will put in a cot for me??? Cuz it looks like I might be moving in to their store soon.  I spent a tremendous amount of time there this past week with the granola bars and the dog food and the Simply Orange (which, darn it all, I didn't discover was part of the Coke deal until Thursday!!)  And now this week --- oh my!


First up --- hold onto your BOGO orange juice coupons from Juicy Rewards --- we still have some time to use them -- and we're looking at mighty cheap OJ this week at Stop and Shop without them!!



Tropicana Pure Premium, On Sale $2.50 each
Use $1.00/1 RP 03/14
Use Dollar Doubler (from the flier you got in the mail)
Final Cost: $.50 each
You must make a mimimum purchase of $15.00 to use your doubler coupons.  But if you pair this with the Kashi deal, you can do that quickly and easily --- and breakfast is essentially solved for the week!!
Buy $15 of participating items in one transaction, get back $5 OYNO
Kashi entrees $3.49
Kashi honey sunshine cereal $2.99
Kashi organic promise cereal $3.29

Kashi granola bars $2.99

This should make for some mighty cheap Kashi cereal and granola bars

Shop Rite: Week of 3/21


I’m probably not spending a lot of time at Shop Rite this week.  We don’t need a lot for groceries and I figure the granola bar deal at Stop and Shop will keep me more than busy…. But for those who prefer (or need more for the pantry than I do)  Shop Rite looks pretty good this week.

Free Cereal at Shaws??

This is a Jewel deal being reported around the web.  But seeing as Shaws is a part of the same network of stores --- and usually the Jewel deals work pretty well at Shaws --- this might be worth trying at Shaws.

When you work to overlap the two cat deals, the cereal ends up being FREE.

Bisquick Moneymaker at Stop and Shop

Next up the General Mills CAT at Stop and Shop this coming week:  
Bisquick   Shelf price:  $4.29
So we need to buy 5 to clear the $20 mark
Sale price is $2.88    So 5x$2.88 = $14.40
Coupons??  There are a couple of printables out there --- I should be able to round up a total of 5 without a serious problem.  
60 cents off 40 OZ. OR LARGER Original Bisquick® OR Bisquick Heart Smart® Baking Mix Print
These will double --- so 5x $1.20 = $6.00 
$14.40 - $6.00 = $8.40 and you get $10 CAT back ---MONEYMAKER

Nature Valley Bars: Stop and Shop

Woo, hoo and woo hoo!!  I've been waiting for a deal on the Nature Valley granola bars!!  And it's finally here!!  And, at all places --- at Stop and Shop (Stop and Shop, I am sorry for all of the unpleasant remarks I've made about you and the lack of deals you offer --- this makes up for it all)
Let me be clear --- our family LOVES the Nature Valley Fruit and Nut bars and the Almond Nut bars ---- we love them.  They are our all time favorite snack bars.  We even take the non-raisin variety of the fruit and nut bars to dog obedience class as extra special rewards for good-dog performance!!  And we're down to our very last box from the last time a deal rolled around.
Well starting Friday, you can find me at Stop and Shop --- cleaning them out of Fruit and Nut bars until I cannot carry anymore.
Here's the deal
Spend $20 on General Mills products --- get $10 back
Now this CAT deal will work on far, far more than my precious Nature Valley bars -- but for right now -- I'm excited about this part of the deal -- I'll figure out the rest of what I can do, later.

So:  Granola bars are shelf price at $3.79 which means that I'll need to buy 6 boxes to work the deal.  (6x 3.79 =$22.74)
But -- they're on sale for $2.88 -- which means that six boxes will ring up for 17.28
Do I have coupons --- oh, boy do I have coupons!!
  • Nature Valley Granola Bars .70/2 GENERAL MILLS 2/7/10
  • Nature Valley Granola Bars or Granola Nut Clusters .40SS 3/7/10
  • Nature Valley Sweet & Salty Nut Granola Bars .50 GENERAL MILLS 2/7/10 
  • Nature Valley Granola Bars, $1/2 boxes, Print 
  • 40 cents off any flavor/variety Nature Valley® Granola Bars Print
Lets start with the $.40 off one coupon from the 3/7 SS  They'll double -- so 6x $.80 - 4.80
And $17.28 - $4.80 =$12.78  and I'm getting $10 back --- so $.46 a box
Repeat that transaction until I run out of the 3/7 insert coupons

Now -- moving on to the $.70/2 coupons from 2/7 SS  
Still starting with the $17.28 total at the register
These coupons will also double -- but I'll only use 3 for each transaction -- so 3x $1.40 = $4.20
$17.28 - 4.20 = 13.08 --- still not too shabby since I'll be rolling my catalinas big time by now  It works out to about $.51 a box -- not as good as before, but still very cheap granola bars!
So I'll repeat that transaction until I run out of the 2/7 inserts (I'm not worried about Stop and Shop running out of granola bars --- I have multiple stores to work with here.  

Now I'm moving on to the $1/2 coupons --- not my favorite but still -- depending on how many boxes I've accumulated, I may still do it. 
This coupon won't double, so its a straight $3.00 off
$17.28 - $3.00 = $14.28 with the $10 CAT coming back still .  Now we're looking at $.71 a box.  Still not too shabby.

The printables won't generate sufficient numbers for me to obsess about -- and they're the same values as the coupons from the inserts.  (I'm not sure that we even like the Sweet and Salty bars -- I'll have to double check)
