If you’re like me (and I’m truly sorry for you, in that case), you only buy sour cream when it’s free – ’cause it happens at least once a year.  Mind you, frozen sour cream doesn’t have the same consistency as the unfrozen ones, but if you buy cartons with long expiration dates for present use and keep the frozen ones for baking and sauces, you’ll be fine. I’ve used thawed sour cream in stroganoff and coffee cakes to great advantage over the years – your family/company will never know.

This week Jewel has those Save $5 instantly when you buy 10 items promotions, most of which are completely lame.  The ONLY thing I like is the Breakstone sour cream which drops to 99¢ when you buy ten.  Use a combination of the $1 IP on Coupons.com (2 limit per computer) and the 55¢ coupon in the 12/9 S.  Obviously you want as many of the IPs as you can print!

Note that the $1 is NOT a national coupon, which means I can’t direct link.  Switch your zip code to 19606, 62946 or 77477 and check the food category for the $1 Breakstone or Knudsen sour cream.  Unfortunately, it could be on either page two or three – keep hunting.

However…..I also have a soft spot (and large gut) for the Rhodes warm-n-serve rolls, which are part of the promo – $1.99 after the instant savings.  Use the $1 coupons (2 per insert) from the 11/11 rp.  There were also $1/2 coupons in the 12/09 rp.
