Well you do know it’s us against them, don’t you? So far I have run approximately 375 Fiber Choice transactions – whew! Here’s more of what works best for me – and possibly you, too. Note that the amounts I’ve quoted always include one Fibre Choice (that’s 4¢ tax).
1. 1/2 pound packs of EE butter for $2.12. You end up spending $1.22 for a pound of butter. I have a case (36) of unsalted coming in. Butter freezes incredibly well – probably set for a year.
2. Bumble Bee solid white albacore tuna with one EE chunk light costs 24¢ for both. Expiration dates are 12/2017 – seriously, 2017! Will you not use this product within almost five years?! I have a few more cases ordered and already paid for. If we suddenly develop tuna allergies it will all go to a very good cause – our local food pantry.
3. Lots more stuff added to clearance sections – I found four boxes of Beneful baked doggie treats at a buck each (was $4.39) – there’s a $1 coupon in 2/10 S. And free works for me (and the dogs, of course!).
4. If you long to treat your feline to Fancy Feast Appetizers but your budget runs more toward not-so-fancy brands, rejoice! You have $1.51 in overage and this product is $1.52! I have quite a few – ahem.
5. Clorox wipes are 2/$5. Each one works out to $1.21 (after high tax). No coupons out there, and it’s something I use all the time.
6. Lots and lots more 1/2 gallons of EE bleach in various scents. It’s 31¢ a bottle with tax and since the bottles at my dollar store are no longer gallons, I’m thrilled to get full gallons for 62¢ with tax.
7. You can buy the DiLussa meats and cheeses and use the $1 coupon in 1/13S. Make sure to get no more more than 1/2 pound. If it’s not that important to you, pick up packs of the EE deli-style sliced or chunks cheese for 2/$5. Works out to be about $1.08 with tax.
8. I also picked up a few (yes, just three) dozen expensive eggs – makes PITA happy, so why not spend a little extra. Is it worth it? Well, we used to raise a few chickens and yes, the difference in quality is apparent.
I read the warehouse is out if these. Did Lisle clear them out or is this an ordering scenario?
You know the Lisle store has always insisted that large special orders be prepaid – in this case this really works in our favor! Since this is a regularly-carried item, not discontinued or anything similar, then when it eventually comes in isn’t really relevant, right?
