9/20 Amazon Fresh Ad

Here’s the Amazon Fresh ad for 9/20 –  no coupons once again.  Large Hass avocados are 4/$5. Why are Coke mini cans more expensive (and you get fewer) than the regular size ones?  Bubbly is 3/$10 and isn’t that just what Coke is – – flavored carbonated water?

Birks: in your closet & portfolio

German sandal maker and in-again fashion icon Birkenstock has filed for an initial public offering, according to a filing late Tuesday.

The filing doesn’t list the number of shares the maker intends to sell or a price range yet. Filing fees were also left blank. The company plans to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BIRK.

According to reports in July, private-equity firm L Catterton, backed by LVMH MC, -0.39%, was mulling over its options for Birkenstock, including an initial public offering that would value the sandal maker at more than $6 billion.  Here’s the Marketwatch article.

Saturday Sampler: Coke Y3000

The Jewel preview ad is up for next week and there’s a Coke Saturday Sampler.  Dunno what this is, but Coke has moved off the beaten track so far it’s not part of the same species!

I like quite a few of the deals in this ad, like the 49¢ avocados, the $2.99 Fisher’s peanuts (the big jug that’s usually $9.99!) and quite a few of the clip coupon deals.  Since they always have low limits, clip ’em all and run it on one trip.  That way you won’t be tempted to over pay on another trip.  Click on the U™ account link and check the preview ads for your own finds.
