Boring Day, Peeps

If any of you see something worth busting your chops over, please share…  I’ll probably head over to Wags to pick up another Hungry Hippo (lots of those travel games for $4.99 – coupon expires today) and probably a couple of cans of the 2/$5 Walgreens’ brand almonds – have to use up a Jingle store cat.   Nothing else looks even remotely interesting.

Deciding about Dominicks….I could see picking up more of the little tangerines, since we’re really going through them and a cheap milk, but other than that?   Already bought enough crackers, so…..

Mail out three rebates and hit Jewel for another three deals?  Yeah, better get there before Monday and the Attack of the Jillites…

I like to buy this stuff in the Dominick’s clearance section, usually for $1.99/package/pound, but I have seen hit .99, which is a darn sight better than the usual $5.99!  Either way, sign up for their monthly email and receive a $1/1 printable (remember to hit back and print another one).  Carry it with you and next time you’re in Dominicks (snigger, snigger), check to see if it’s in clearance (or what the expiration dates are on the regular stock).  And in case you have room, it freezes well...

Today was a slow day for shopping, a nice day for gabbing:  my delivery of the desktop aquarium giveaway turned into 2 1/2 hours of couponspeak.  We met at a 24 hr. Dominicks Starbucks cafe area.  A very nice change of pace.  Afterward we strolled up to customer service to ask about any orphan Thanksgiving Day coupon booklets.  Score! The lady opened a fresh carton of books and handed us each 2 of them, so even though the holiday is over, ask at CS if you don’t see any books.  You’ve got nothing to lose but your dignity (but then you knew that going in)…

I stopped at CVS to pick up the Sierra Mist and Bliss bars.  Remember, I called over there last night to confirm that 1) they were on sale as part of the 2/$1 sale and 2) they had plenty in stock.  Well, I hunt all over and can’t seem to locate any Bliss bars.  I ask the cashier, who points to the Dove bars…ah, no, those aren’t Bliss.  He says “Aren’t they the same?”  Well, bucky, if you want to give ’em to me for the sale price and take my coupon, I’ll bite.  Sadly, no.  If anyone has seen these Bliss bars recently in their CVS and can ask if they are on sale, please comment.  I’m not that desperate for chocolate (hello, Snickers) that I’m going to drive or call the various CVS stores.  I’ll return tomorrow to pick up the batteries, Olay, etc., but today, just wanted OUT!

Better luck at Jewel.  My coupons came in today (five days, what’re they doing?  going back to pony express?), so sorted all my receipts, stapled the appropriate coupons and headed out to pick up some more HC mixers and Eagle milk.  I had read on CW that certain varieties of the Ronzoni Garden Delight pasta were on sale for 10/$10 .  Well, the 10/03 S insert just happens to have a $1/1 Garden Delight pasta.  woot!  woot!  Note that the rotini is not part of the sale, although they are all together on the shelf.

So my OOP for 14 boxes of pasta, 7 HC mixers and 3 Eagle milk?  Just under 5 bucks, but remember that I still have to return with the $1.65 in Eagle coupons when I get them.  So actually less than $3.50.

Dominicks Freebies

(I’ve changed the date to the 9th, because I looked at the ad scan and I’m not certain it starts until then.  If you have better info, drop me a line) IGNORE!  The deal is on starting today, the 8th.  I bought these items in two separate transactions since neither the store nor any sites say you can stack.  Note that not all items are marked on the shelf, although they all work.

I’ll admit to not following or shopping at Dominicks in quite a long time.  I seem to stock up on the free stuff while my coupons are still accepted everywhere!  Having said that, I read on CW that Dominicks has a Buy 5 Save 5 Sale starting tomorrow the 8th through the 22nd.  It’s a Nabisco deal, so Cheese Nips and Saltines are part of the promotion, which ties in very nicely with the $1/1 coupon in the 11/14 S.  Guess I’ll be heading over there tomorrow morning, since we luv Cheese Nips, and this coupon makes them free!  Other crackers are also on sale, although not free (Wheat Thins and Ritz for .49)…

So you’re aware, all 11/14 S inserts, with the exception of those inserts marked “Arlington Heights, …” have the coupon (I’ve already checked and clipped mine).  Many thanks to Beth3 for the info.

Jewel $1.06 OOP

Went to help a friend with her shopping, and decided to pick up a few things myself…you know how that goes.

So here we have the 10 GG vegetables (free after the coupons in the Doms book), 6 Swiss Miss (Doms book), 6 Melitta 40-pk filters (10/3 S) and a bag of Beneful dog food (found cat).   Total was $4.06 (!!!), but I used two $1.50 cats from the Meijer coffee deal and ended up at $1.06 which was the tax.

More cheap formula

I really hope that those of you who need it printed out the high value formula coupon the other day…  Another good one, for $5/1 22 oz or larger can of Enfamil powder.  Either click here or go to the sidebar and click.  While Meijer has formula on sale, their online ad only has the ready-to-use cans of Enfamil for $4.99; possibly it’s on sale but not in the ad. Anyone have any formula info on Meijer or other stores, please comment.  The exp. dates on these cans are usually at least a year off and let’s face it, not likely the kid’s gonna switch to beer!

Dominicks…sigh…

One positive thing about shopping at Dominicks – you don’t have to worry about getting hit in the aisle by another shopper’s cart!  Won’t bother with any pictures:  not that much to show.  Needed brats for grilling, and I still have a few of the $5 store coupons from the Glade deal last month, so thought I’d drive on over and check out the clearance meat section.  Nothing looked good, so checked the dates on the Jimmy Dean sausage rolls, since I always carry around my $2/2.  One roll was dated October 16, so the PITA handed it to the butcher, telling him it was out of date and there were a lot of others with today’s date, October 17.  Thanks, etc.  Get the buns, rolls, cherry turnovers, shhhh and went back to check if they’d been reduced.  Yeah, the butcher had reduced the expired roll to .99 and left all the other rolls on the shelf.  So I did the only proper thing: report him to the manager.  Most of the rolls have the dates stamped just under the seam flap; you have to lift it up to check the date.  Do you really think most people do this?

And no, I have plenty of sausage rolls in my freezer, so I wasn’t hovering around to get more.  And I wouldn’t report someone for an honest mistake, but when you specifically tell the butcher that stuff is expired…  As someone once pointed out, Dominicks accepts expired coupons. which you use on expired products…

Combined shopping today – $10.78

I’m lazy, I’ll admit it.  So all the running around is combined into 1 photo,  broken down as follows:

Wags:  nada on the Pantene and Gain dish soap at two stores.  Mind you, I’ve been holding onto the Gain rain check for weeks now; coupon expires today.  Ended up taking 5 more cans of the almonds for a $3.90 subtotal, used a $2 Pantene RR, so $1.90 for 5 cans.  Off to …

Walmart for the 10 bottles of Gain for tax of .40.  Next is…

Quick stop to health club for food (did you really think I was gonna say exercise?  Nah – monthly member appreciation day means tons of great food all day long.  Lunch over, back to work…

Dominicks..Mostly crap in the clearance meat section, but had a freezer case full of clearanced Johnsonville brats in a variety of types (this is the DG store on Ogden).  There is a $1/2 coupon in 5/02 S which brings them down to $1.49 each.  Since today was National Enforce One Cat Per Transaction Day (and here I forgot to wear the t-shirt), I divided the orders into 3,and used their store coupons from the Renuzit crystals.  Eggs were free, from the new U savings program.  Chicken drumsticks were 1.29/lb, which was OK since it’s something everyone in the house eats without complaining.  Total OOP was 8.48…final stop

CVS for – nothing at all!  Thought I’d try for the golden toothbrush, but alas, although this store actually had one on the shelf when the sale started, but they sold it.  sigh   Between CVS and Wags lately, I’m experiencing life in the Soviet Union.  Total spent …. hahahahahaha, although I did get another rain check.

Dominicks today

I actually wanted the Scrubbing Bubbles, which supposedly had a blinkie dispenser next to these which would have made these a money maker – hah!   And then I realized that I’d thrown out (last week) the February, 2010 inserts which had the BOGO coupon for the Renuzit Crystals.  Since I’d already driven out there, went ahead and got the 3 Crystal refills and used 3 $3/1 coupons, got 4 Smuckers and used 4 $1.50/1 printables and the in-ad coupon which reduced the jams to $1.99.  After coupons, my total was $9.33 (but I received a $5 cat from spending $15 on the Renusit) so I paid with a $5 Wags RR and a $3 Jewel catalina, leaving me with $1.33 OOP.

9/12 inserts – update

I see that one of the SS inserts (there are two) contains a $1/1 Kraft string cheese or twist coupon.  I will have approximately 100 of these by the end of the week, so can only hope for another Kraft catalina deal in the next month (for most grocery stores) or next year (Dominicks).  I’ll probably clip and carry a few of these, because Dominicks usually has clearance cheese, so we’ll see how cheap it goes and god knows we don’t need any cheese right now!

If you are sitting on the fence over how many papers to get this week, I’d definitely err on the high side.  There is a $2 Smart Balance coupon in the 9/12 RP which has been extremely useful in the past when it’s stacked with a Meijer Mealbox store coupon.  In the past Meijer has sold the milk for $1.99, so even without the store coupon, it’s free.  Check prior posts to see just how much overage you can get!  And don’t forget the Garnier Nutrisse $3 coupon in the 9/12 RP.  Pick up your papers at a dollar store and you’re way ahead of the game even if you only use one coupon!  Make sure that you check your paper for all the week’s inserts before you leave the store; even if the plastic bag is sealed, some papers are missing inserts.
