CVS


Don't miss a really good deal on Bumble Bee Solid White Albacore tuna at CVS this week. It's on sale for $ .88/can which is a super deal for the solid white albacore, and there's no limit. My store was super stocked and the manager said I could buy as much as I wanted so I'm going back for more late. The Olives are also $ .88/can which is a good deal, but there are also coupons here (lindsayolives.com) If you've printed these before (which I have) they have reset so you should be able to print them again; the coupon is for $1/2 which makes it a super great price for olives. My store only had two cans left, but make sure to get rainchecks if your store is out because the rain checks never expire!!!

Mom, I know you said you didn't like Bumble Bee tuna but try the solid white that's on sale, I think it's just as good as any other brand we've bought.

Total $3 for 3 bags of hash browns

Solar lights $3 ea
Use $2 Solar light coupon from Target.com (my store let me use more than one, they probably would have let me use 4 but I needed to go to another store for more hash browns because I bought the last 3 bags at the first store. Some stores may only let you use 1 target coupon per transaction)
Total $4 for 4 solar lights (some guy stopped me in the store and told me that he had these in his yard and he LOVED them!)

Of course my stores were totally wiped out of Monopoly and Battleship (someone must have dug some out of the backroom today because the one I bought was a little smashed and the other boxes were really smashed). But check back because sometimes they restock, my store was totally restocked on hash browns today.

Good Luck!!

Vons


Here is my Vons frozen food run. I have to say that I'm a little disappointed in Vons right now. I've been to two different stores over the last few days and I've been told that they have yet another new coupon policy. Now they will only take 1 IP per like item at one store and at the other store they will only take 2 like coupons per item IP or insert. Then I was talking to a girl who shops at the same store that I do and she said her $10 FF cat did not print and that they told her it was because she used coupons. She kindly pointed out to them that the ad does not state the $25 total must be before coupons. It gets a little frustrating when stores would rather punish those of us who play by the rules, rather then properly train their cashiers on how to spot fraudelent or photo copied coupons. What they need to learn is that coupons are NOT a discount they are a form of PAYMENT. The stores are reimbursed the value of the coupons + an 8 cent handling fee. What I think I'll ask next time I have a conversation with one of these store managers is if they discriminate in the same way against customers who use food stamps or pay with a credit card--credit card users actually cost them money because they must pay the bank for the processing of credit card payments. One cashier actually said to me that they were trying to discourage "THOSE people" who use a bunch of coupons and she stood sorting through my stack of coupons!!!!

Anyway, thankfully my cat did print and here's what I bought:

2 Michael Angelo single serve $2.99 ea
2 Green Giant Vegetables $1.79 ea
2 Pillsbury Toaster Struedel $2.50 ea
4 C & W Vegetables $1.99ea
4 Old Orchard Juice $1.29 ea
1 Yotplait Fiber one yogurt $$2.50 (not part of FF deal, obviously)

used
B1G1 Free Michael Angelo coupon here
$1.00/1 Pillsbury IP (wouldn't let me use 2) FF IE
$ .50/2 GG here
$1.00/2 (2)C & W coupons on freezer door in store
$1.00/4 Old Orchard here
$1.00/1 Fiber One
$10 cat from P & G promo
The following coupons I had loaded onto my card from Shortcuts.com and Cellfire.com deducted automatically
Pillsbury 3 X $ .55
Green Giant 4 X $ .50
Yoplait 2 X $1.00
OOP $6.24
Got $10 Cat

My plan is to use my $10 cat to buy frozen Chicken and be done with Vons for a while. The irony of this is that their closest competitors in my neighborhood are Smiths and Albertsons and of course Walmart those three stores are always busy and Vons is rarely busy and I mean rarely!

Target 3/5/10




Quick trip to Target. Here's what I got:
2 8.4 oz Gillette Body Wash
2 packages Reveal lightbulbs $2.00ea
2 bottles Dentyne gum $2.08 (not marked in store--did price check)
3 packages fruit Chillers $1.77 (temp. price cut through 3/13)
2 Zooth Toothbrushes $1.99ea.
1 package of tights (not pictured) $2.99
used
$4/2 Gillette Body wash P & G 2/7/10
$1.00/2 GE coupon here
$1.00/1 (2) Target GE coupons here
$1.50/1 Dentyne (2) SS 3/1/10
$1.00/1 Oral B Stages or Zooth Toothbrush (2) P & G 2/7/10
$1.00/1 Fruit Chillers here and here
OOP $6. 79

Most of what I bought was not marked on sale--I LOVE those little price scanners. I wish they had them in every store! Be careful on the lightbulbs because there is a similar package that is NOT on sale of course, they were all mixed up. The toothbrushes were not in the right place, the Dentyne was not marked, and the flavors of the fruit chillers I bought were also not marked, but all were on sale. So, PRICE CHECK!!!

Fruit Chillers Coupon


New Printable for Del Monte Fruit Chillers. I've read in several places that these are on price cut at target for $1.75-$1.90 (prices vary by region) until 3/13.

Salmon Chowder


What to do with all the cheap Salmon we bought at Walgreens last week???( I still have rain checks to redeem!) Well, here's my favorite Salmon chowder recipe. My family LOVES it, this is one meal that everyone eats. I tweaked the original recipe a little bit by adding half and half instead of canned milk.

Salmon Chowder

14.5 oz can salmon
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 c chopped onion
1/2 c chopped celery
1/2 c chopped green pepper
3 T butter
1c diced potatoes
1c diced carrots
2 cans chicken broth
1t salt
1/2 t pepper
1/2 t thyme
10 oz package frozen peas
1 can cream corn
13 oz evaporated skim milk (I use 1/2 and 1/2 or cream)
minced parsley

Drain and flake salmon reserving liquid. Saute garlic, onion, celery, and green pepper in butter. Add potatoes, carrots, reserved salmon juice, chicken broth, and seasonings. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables are nearly tender. Add peas, cook 5 minutes. Add flaked salmon, corn, and milk. Heat through. Sprinkle with minced parsley.

This is a recipe from a good friend of my sister. ENJOY!

Walgreens


Here's my 1st Walgreens shopping trip this week. I threw together some deals, so they may not be the greatest, but I needed everything and the prices were great. I didn't want to spend the week running around to 5-6 different Walgreens trying to get what I wanted like I did last week, so I'm pretty happy that the 1st store I went to had everything I planned to buy today. Here's the breakdown.

Transaction #1
2 Tylenol Cold $4.99 ea $9.98
2 Stride gum $ .65 ea (I only needed 1)
used (2) $2/1 Tylenol Cold IP
used$1 CAB coupon deducts $2

OOP $1.93
got $5 RR

Transaction #2
6 Kleenex $2.19 B1G1 Total $6.57
1 candy $ .69
used $ .50/3 Kleenex (2) SS 2/28
used $5 RR from previous Transaction
OOP $1.87
got $3 RR

Transaction #3
3 Kotex Tampons $2.99 Total $8.97
2 Motrin PM $2.99 Total $5.98
1 candy $.69
used $1/1 Kotex (3) IP
used$3/2 Motrin SS 11/22/09
used$1.50/1 IVC March coupon book deducts $3/2
used $3 RR from previous transaction
OOP $4.93
got $5 RR

All the IP coupons are here

Look for the Orbit or Eclipse gum on clearance and pair it with the $1/2 coupon in the March coupon book. Of course, I grabbed the Stride thinking it was the right one and looked silly when the coupon wouldn't scan!!!

I should have switched the order of tranaction 2 and 3 for lower out of pocket, but I was so happy just to find everything in stock!

Excellent Vons(Safeway) deal!

**Edited to add this promo ended On Tuesday March 2nd. Sorry, I forgot to include this in the original post!
Okay, this is an AWESOME Vons (Safeway) deal!! First go here to P & G esaver and load the $3 Charmin and the $3 Bounty coupon to your Vons (Safeway) card. If you're not already signed up, you have to sign-up on the website, its super simple. Then you need to buy the 24 roll Charmin and the 12 Roll Bounty, each should be marked $12.99 in your store. They are part of the mix and match promo which was advertised in the Sunday supplement. So, they will ring up at $12.99 ea ( mine actually rang up at $15.99 and $16.99) for a total of $25.98, your $3 eq's will come off when you scan your shopper card or type in your phone # then when the cashier hits total the mix and match price will come off. So, here's how it reads on my receipt:

Bounty $16.99
Card Save $7
ecoupon $3
$9.99
Charmin $15.99
Card Save $6
ecoupon $3
Total 15.60 ($1.62 is tax)

BUT here's the AWESOME deal. After it's all done a $10 off your next order Catalina will print-YAHOO!!! So, $5.60 for a big package of Paper towels and toilet paper is a Sa-weet deal! You can only use the e-coupons 1 time, but it works for me!

Note: this is part of the P & G buy $25 get $10 back, because the items ring at full price first, that's how you hit the $25 mark. I have not seen these adverstised as part of the promo, but they are obviously P & G items, my point is, if your cat. doesn't print it could be a major headache. So, make sure the green light is on the cat. machine before you check out.

THANK YOU SD!
