Not much huh?????

Not much going on at the stores this week. I have been scouring the sites looking for great deals that I haven't told you about but really, nothing outstanding popping out at me! Maybe with the new ads coming out tomorrow for Thursday's sales - it will get better. :-) That's ok though since I think my daughter gave me her cold! Ugh.


Yesterday was Alex's 14th birthday! We went out to dinner with my mother-in-law and her husband and had a great time! On the way home, we stopped at Dominick's to pick up some powdered sugar for frosting.

The Nature Valley Nut Clusters I told you about a few days ago are now generating the free Capri Sun cat! AND the $1.60 IP coupon has reset - I just printed one to be sure and it was working. Here is the link: http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qinmcsx4556385&bt=wg&o=58344&ci=1&c=GM&p=NZUMKWQY


I had the $1.60 coupons from Vocal Point so I bought
4 Nut Clusters, 2 bags of powdered sugar and a $.50 book - paid $1.48 and got a free Capri Sun catalina coupon! The 2 bags of powdered sugar alone were $3.38! I got the overage from the ecoupons from Shortcuts.com and cellfire.com. It gave me 3-$.40 ecoupons and 1-$1 ecoupon plus I had 4 $1.60 coupons and the $4 discount for buying 4 GM products. Good deal!


Later I decided to go to Jewel. I have not been there in almost a week! VERY RARE for me! It has just been busy and I really have so much stuff right now. Anyway, I did go to get the Goldfish and do the Ritz deal. Here's what I bought:


4 Ritz crackers - used $3 tearpad coupon right by the crackers
4 Ritz Crackerfuls - used 4 BOGO coupons from 8/23SS
8 Fruit 2O drinks - used 8-$1.00 coupons from 8/23SS
2 Hershey's syrup - used $1/2 coupon from 8/23SS
1 Swiss Tea - used $1.50 coupon mailed to me
I did receive the Snack save $3 discount twice (wasn't sure if it stacked but it does) so $6 instantly off. My total was $28.55 before coupons and I ended up paying oop $5.05 so I would say a good trip since the syrup alone was $3 after using the $1 coupon! :-)


Notice anything????? I forgot to get the GOLDFISH!! I could not believe it when I got home and Doug asked me how many I got and I realized it! Oh well, I guess I'll be running to Jewel later!


I also read about a Scott's cat deal running at Jewel too. Buy 2 Scott items from different categories and you will receive a $2 oyno cat. It includes the single rolls so you can buy 1 single paper towel and 1 single roll of toilet paper and you will get a $2 cat. There were blinkie coupons out for Scott products a couple of weeks ago so look through your coupons and see if you picked up some. This could turn out to be a money maker!


I have not gone to Meijer yet to do this and might just skip it but here is a couple of deals I read about:
Oscar Mayer Deli Creations sandwiches are 2/$4 - there is a mealbox coupon for $2 off of 2 and a $1/2 coupon in 9/20SS so they would be $.50 each.

The buy 5, save $5 includes Chips Ahoy Snax Sacs - They are $2 each so buy 5 = $10 - less the $5 discount brings you to $5. If you get the $3/4 tearpad coupon from Jewel I just spoke about (Meijer may also have these, I don't know) then you will pay $2 for the 5 packs. Not too bad if you need snacks for something.

Happy Shopping!
