photo.JPGJust got back from Whole Foods, where I picked up lavender-scented Avalon Organics shampoo and conditioner for 99¢ each and $1.99 for the body lotion!  How so, you might ask, knowing that this stuff is rather dear.  Glad you asked.  Right now Whole Foods has Avalon on sale for $4.99 for shampoos and conditioners – a great deal right there – but there’s a $4 store coupon for any Avalon product (excluding lip balm) on their site in the Whole Deals pages.  So you pay either $1.99 or 99¢.  Sale runs through 9/17 so print before it disappears (’cause it might flip tonight, since it’s the July/August Whole Deal).  I’m planning on stocking up on the rosemary, lemon, more lavender, peppermint…

Whole Foods Coho salmon sale today only

My family (well, except for FirstBorn) likes to eat fish – salmon is always a favorite!  I checked the prices (good) at Aldi today with Rachel.  I think she only drags me along to speed things up ’cause it’s really weird, but people move quickly to help get me out of the store!  She gets the benefit, of course.

Lots of salmon, tilapia and catfish , but creepily enough, all (except the Sockeye) were from China – farm-raised and wild-caught.  I don’t know about you, but I have some serious trust issues with Chinese food imports, so this is a wonderful way to stock up for a decent price.  Notice I did not say cheap, because I am not that delusional!
This deal showed up on the WH blog page, where they say that it’s nationwide but to check your local store(s) for amounts available.  I’ll be heading over tomorrow to the Wheaton store.

Whole Foods and Walmart combo shopping – wtf?

Well, Rachel and I were finally able to do our brunch thing (after two weeks!) because all our darling children are back in school!  woot!!!  Used a livingsocial restaurant voucher in Wheaton and then headed over to the Dananda Whole Foods, where MUM needed/wanted the Glutino white bread which was on sale for $2.99 (normally even crazier, like $5.69) and there were coupons!  I decided to schlepp along and pick up more Celestial Seasonings tea.

Since the tea is now down to $1.50, you need eight boxes to use up the 50¢ overage on every box (sticking to their on again/off again six coupon limit), so you see here two transactions (Rachel and mine) totalling 16 boxes.  OOP was .36, but that’s okay, ’cause I made it up at Walmart…

Actually stopped at the Glen Elyn store on Rte 53 to pick up some of those single size packs of Teddy Grahams, using the $3/3 on the back page of yesterday’s SS (the essentials one).  This must be sold at the SuperWalmarts only because Rachel and I walked all through the grocery aisles and could not find any of the individual size crackers or cereal – none. Since I was there anyway, decided to use the last of my $5 K-Y cats and just cash out.  So Walmart paid me $9.77 to take these fine products off their shelves and into my home.  A gracious gesture, no?  And everything went smoothly…

 

out and about…

Had a whole list of places to go and people to see…and pretty much did it all.  First stop was to Whole Foods for more of those Terra Chips and the free Celestial Seasonings.  The Indiana Popcorn Apple stuff is for Rachel.  Stacked mfr with store coupons, which made the teas free and the other items 50¢ each.  OOP ended up at $7.22.  Note that WF has pretty much never seen couponers – each and ever store coupon must be entered and overridden by a manager.  And the bagger remembered me from last week.  So they must post store coupons in the hope that no one will actually use them.  silly people…

Hit up the Danada Square Fannie May to use up our last two coupons – all out of coffee so we got our go-to chocolates:  Pixies.  Stopped in at Wags to see if Steve remembered us.  And there is nothing going on there for the next couple of weeks (although that kind of proclamation will change in a heartbeat).

Then off to the Sleep Number store (we were on Butterfield anyway) for our FREE travel pillow which came in a very nice storage bag.  Told PITA it was her Christmas present.

Our last stop was Jewel because I had a few RRs expiring and I needed to get a Starbucks gift card (NOW they tell me – why not a few weeks ago, right?).  You see here high-priced eggs, high-priced OJ, FREE bakery bread (courtesy of PITA), FREE Idahoan potatoes (coupon), FREE organic bananas (cat PITA found) two Ortega products ($1.79 each and had $1 coupons from tearpad) and a square of Boxing Cheddar cheese from Australia for which I obviously paid the airfare.  Ended up spending $1.71 after RRs and before gift card.  I’ve placed a large special order for the middle of next week to use up the Dole fruit coupons.  Now that’s going to be some serious overage on that order – PITA better find some $/$$ cats…

Whole Foods on the cheep, cheep

Picked up another six boxes of the free Celestial Seasonings holiday tea – found a display of the Gingerbread flavor ones, too!  Threw in six bags of Terra chips, on sale for 2/$5; used six $1 mfr coupons (12/11 S) and 6 WF store coupons from their site).  OOP was $4.06. Sorry about the photo – need caffeine!

Whole Foods and Fannie May

Had to hit three different Fannie Mays for these – no more multiple transactions…”we got an email from our division manager.”  so I handed out a couple of coupons to those who were not as blessed.  The Pixie ground coffee was $12.99(!), so thought I’d try some.

Whole Foods has Celestial Seasonings holiday teas on sale for $2.00, so stack the $1 from 12/4 S (11/6S or 10/2S) with the WH coupon either in their magazine/booklet in the racks (I gave all mine to Rachel, so don’t remember the front), or from their website.  It’s unlimited print, but I only picked up six.  Used my own bag, which earned me a dime credit and paid 9¢ OOP for those six boxes.  Funny thing, when I got to the register with only my six boxes of tea, the cashier had to call the manager over because the store coupons always beep. She said that a customer had a bunch of coupons.   hahahaha, lady, don’t ever get behind me at Jewel!

Whole Foods on the cheap – $3.50

Don’t you get tired of all those pundits who claim coupons only buy junk food?  Notwithstanding the fact that I happen to like junk food…did a run at Whole Foods with Rachel (MUM), who’s now forced to shop wheat-free, dairy-free, taste-free – well, maybe not the last one.

You see in this cart the following items:   48 cans of Imagine organic soup (three varieties of chicken), one baguette, a decent-sized wedge of St. Andre triple cream brie and a puny pretzel loaf.  OOP was $3.50.  How?  Glad you asked:

Picked up four cases of the soup.  Got 10% case price discount, but I also had the $1 mfr coupons stacked with the WF $1 from their website.  That case discount took $9.55 off the top, so I needed to come up with fillers, hence the bread and cheese.  I had only 46 of the store coupons using a combination of WF insert and IPs (and there were no brochures left in the store) or my total would have been $2 less.  Oh, well, sometimes you just have to pay…

Just saw on Hip2Save that tomorrow Whole Foods will have having a 1-day sale on organic cantaloupes:  2/$3.  This is definitely worth driving over, especially since I still have the gift card from Christmas (well, it’s not exactly on my deals calendar, now is it?).
