Deals worth leaving the house for

Kroger (today):
Kroger Peanut Butter 18 oz, $1
Kroger Cheese 8oz, $1.50
Kroger Yogurt 6oz, $0.33

I had a coupon for a free bottle of Suave Professionals, up to $3 (mailed coupon, sign up at their website), and $0.50/2 (7/11 RP) for the same. I bought 4 bottles at $2.17 each. When the cashier rang up the free coupon, the register gave me $3 off! 4 bottles for $4.68...

Another great deal at Kroger is the Soda flavored ice cream topping. I had a coupon for $1/2 (6/13 SS) and bought 2 bottles at $2.99 each. At checkout I received 2 $2.50 catalinas for my next trip. I essentially made $0.02 for buying them.

I also hit the clearance table pretty heavily and got some Uncle Ben's, hot wing sauce, and bagels on the cheap.
Overall, I spent $27.56 and saved $19.74, about 42%

Walmart (today):
I stopped in to pick up dishwasher detergent and some high value spices. I also found that they have canning supplies about 30% cheaper than just about anywhere else I've seen, and I have 20 lbs of tomatoes to deal with. SOON.

Great Value DW detergent 75oz, $2.67
5th Season Onion Powder 3 oz, $0.50
Ball Canning Kit, $10.00
Ball Utinsel Kit, $6.74

I used a coupon for $1/1 Ball canning kits and later found that I had a $2/1 coupon for the same thing in the 6/6 RP. There's also a coupon for jars, which Wal-mart sells for about $8/dozen (Kroger had them for $12/doz)

All tolled, I spent 20.27 and saved $1.

Tomorrow's trips:

Meijer:
Sweet Baby Rays 18oz, $1
Sunny D, $1
Dole Salad, $1
All are included in the 10 for $10, get the 11th free sale. Tons of great items included in this sale, just not much I'm in the market for at the moment. I'll most likely get a few bags of salad, a bottle or two of SunnyD and then stock up on SBR's... It gets used almost like ketchup around here.

Marsh:
Pork Chops, $0.98/lb. 'Nuff said.

Fireworks store craziness is over.

Posting will resume just as soon as I sort out all the coupons I accumulated over the course of the past month...

Saturday, June 12, 2010

I miss couponing. I've been working a lot of hours and where I'm at, I don't have Internet, though I'm taking my laptop today to see if a neighbor will lend me theirs.

Hoping I adjust to the crazy hours soon. On the weekend of the 4th I'll be open up to 18 hours a day. And I'll need to be there for most of it.

FREE Fireworks!!

I'm able to offer you a little inside information. Fireworks stores are popping up all over Indianapolis and all of them are able to offer deals. The standard deal is $20 in free product for every $100 you spend. USA Fireworks aren't able to offer any better than this, but other stores may be able to discount/price match.

Also, don't be taken in by the goofy Buy 1 Get 5 Free deals. Items like this come in packages of 6 for say, $12. The store breaks them out of the packages, and marks them for $12. You feel like you are getting a deal, but you are paying the same as the package costs. I attended management training for one of these stores where they freely admitted it was a marketing gimmick.

I don't work for that particular chain. The one I'm working for now also breaks out 6 packs as in the example above. We then prices the individual items at $1.50-$2.50 ea, determined by demand. You are welcome to purchase individual items or packages and pay for what you take/want.

The other guys also have a 1% additional surcharge hidden in their sales tax and label it as a 'testing fee'. This is pure profit for the corporate office... And since all store operators work purely on commission, it takes away from the operator's earnings.

The store I'm at is on 106th and Michigan road, just behind Walgreen's. Mention this blog and I will be more than happy to cut you a deal.

Hurry though. All price matching, discounting and free product deals end June 30th. And my particular store will be open until July 5th.
