A sharp-eyed reader sent the above shot – apparently Dreamfields pasta is part of that Buy 8 get $5 off the total deal that runs for another couple of days.   Boy, did not see that one in the ad, that’s for sure!  Called the Woodridge store to verify, but honestly?  That guy was so clueless he should be on Family Feud.

So hit the DG Dominicks, where I picked up all the items in this picture:  Original total was over a hundred bucks, but after loyalty card, sale discounts, coupons and hoochie-mama dance register ended up at $45.  Still way more than I’d like, but we like to eat.

Here is what is in the picture:  16 boxes of Dreamfields pasta (ended up spending .49 for each); four tubes of Open Nature large cinnamon rolls (on clearance for $2 each); two 32 oz packages of shredded cheese; six read-to-bake pizza dough balls (2 of each variety – .99 on my J4U card – I took them frozen);  couple of pounds of green grapes ($1.28 on J4U card).  PITA wanted the pretty green grapes in the clam shell because they support the rain forest.  I pointed out that as far as I knew, they didn’t grow grapes in the Amazon; two dozen eggs at .97 on my J4U card; 4 1/2 pound package of pork ribs, the giant country style.  They were 50% off, so $1.25 a pound.  I’ll make carnitas in a day or so  – yummmm.

I still have six more Dreamfields $1 coupons, so if anybody wants them, speak up now and I’ll drop them off at one of our stores.

Side note here:  The Dominicks guy called back and left a message which I did not notice until a short while ago (apparently I am the clueless one).  He (Rick) said that the shelf tags are a mistake (the Wednesday, March 25 date) and the promotion runs through Wednesday the 28th.
