Help! My wallet has moved to Shop & Save!

Sorbeto & gelato. PITA is holding the $3 size with blood orange and lemon/lime sorbeto. It was actually too much for one person so we shared!

Lots of fresh-squeezed juice cups (carrot/apple).

Picked up two of the rotisserie chickens at $2.99 each – used my $3 coupon with no trouble!  Had to wait 35 minutes for a batch of chickens…which was okay because they had three tables full of deli salad samples!  When the chickens finally came out (about 25), they were snatched up within a few minutes, literally.  Guy said nobody wanted to cook today.  I said today?????

Reduced produce racks had large containers of whole ginger at $1.50 a container!  Grabbed a tray of nice parsnips and several packs of lunch meat ends (only ’cause I saw they were the $$$ lunchmeats).  LOL American cheese is on sale for $3.99 (white or yellow) so picked up a pound for sandwiches.  Grabbed a large container (at least a few pounds) of baby carrots for $1.69.  Deli has something called Polish cole slaw, which has slivered carrots mixed in the cabbage and fresh dill and a very light vinaigrette.  Took a large container, but it weighed hardly anything!

And after all that, forget to get the PIMA coffee…which will necessitate a return trip.

Also stopped at Ultra across the street and in two trips (before and after Shop & Save) got another 24 jars of PB & J.  Go team!  I’ve also been handing out coupons to cashiers and shoppers at Ultra because … well, because we should.

Save_460x305A_76669$25 shipped for a three months’ supply of Garcinia Cambogia over on Eversave;  you may buy up to five Saves (15 bottles total).  You are buying the actual product, not a voucher for same.  I’ve seen this weight-loss stuff at Walgreens and CVS – crazy expensive.

quick thoughts on Shop & Save

Okay, made a pot of the PIMA $1.99 8 oz ground coffee from Shop & Save – not bad at all!  I’ve already told you how I add ground cinnamon as the first layer in the filter cone so the water hits the coffee and then cinnamon – there isn’t any harshness at all.

So is this back up the truck time?  Heck, yeah!  I’ll be stopping back shortly and maybe pick up a couple of the chickens, using the Jewel coupon (as pointed out, the coupon value is $3, but you have to spend $3.05+, so I’ll buy two and use one coupon, spending $2.98 for both).

On a side note, I spent my grocery cash (all $10!) at Ultra on PB&J, so when I stopped at S&S, I planned to use my debit card to take out cash:  They don’t give cash back on any cards!  Just something to plan ahead for, certainly no major setback, but maybe you’d want to reverse your shopping and make Ultra the last stop.

Shop & Save is killing my wallet

Serious damage here, folks!  The Shop & Save sales are pretty decent:

Their Polish-style ham is $1.99/lb – I got FirstBorn a couple of pounds…he should start talking to me again.
Scott Peterson hard salami is $2.99/lb.
They have about 8 different fresh feta cheeses in the deli case – I saw goat, French, cow’s milk and more!
Rotisserie chickens are $2.99 (use that wine coupon in the Jewel booklet).
Got a pound of their new muffaletto mix – it’s not as spicy as I’d like, but we can always fix that!

Whole seedless watermelons are $1.99, while the black-seeded ones are $3.99. I took a seeded one because I think they have better taste. And hey, I want to play around with planting them next spring…you know, before the zombie apocalypse! Gigantic heads of green cabbage are .29/lb. These heads are bigger than mine!  Portabello mushrooms (the whole ones) are $1.99/lb!  Naturally I took one. Nice Organic Girl large pack of lettuce mix on the reduced rack for $1.99.  Make sure you check the price on the reduced produce because it might have been a great price before a sale, but now?  For example, lots of three-packs of green cabbage that seemed pricy to me. Weighed one box and it was almost double the 29¢ a pound current sale.  PITA grabbed a reduced carton of fresh figs for only $1.29!

8 oz bags of PIMA brand ground coffee are $1.99. Seriously, $1.99? You pay more for Starbucks mud!  Customer service told me it was a very popular coffee with their European customers, a bolder flavor, so we’ll see.  I only took three bags and it’s in the new coffeemaker already.  If it’s good, I’ll back up the truck…after first hitting Ultra for more PB&J (I think I’m up to 48 jars of each).

Nutella is still on sale for $2.29.  Niagara Water is 5/$10 for the 24 packs.

They sell about 15 different types/brands of butter, both in half-pound, pound and 2 lb solid tubes.

Lombard is out of crunchy – not my fault!

Ultra has gone through an entire pallet of Planters crunchy PB already…

PITA said that the creamy would be good, too, although she prefers crunchy…so started decimating the creamy supplies.  It’s obvious that the people who shop Lombard Ultra share my taste preferences because they were completely out of Planters crunchy and very low on the Welch’s jam.
