Meijer - Ragu and Creamette Deal (12/28 - 1/3)






Meijer is running a great deal this week with Ragu pasta sauce and Creamette pasta. If you buy one jar of Ragu sauce you get one box of Creamette pasta free. I went today to try this out and to see if you could get two free boxes when you buy two jars and it worked!! The best part is that the sauce is on sale for 1.38 each, plus you can use the .50 off 2 coupon from the 11/16 Redplum insert.



So if you buy two sauces and two boxes of pasta the total will be 2.76 (after the free pasta comes off) and you'll get 1.00 off with the coupon (after .50 coupon doubles to 1.00), so you'll pay 1.76 for two sauces and two pastas!! So if you use one sauce and one pasta per meal that's only .88 per meal!!!




Just add some free or cheap veggies from previous deals and you've got two really inexpensive lunches or dinners!!!

Kroger - P&G Super Saver Event

Edited to add that technically the $5 off reward is for other items in your transaction, so just be sure to have at least $5 worth of other products in your order!!

Starting Monday, Kroger is having a P&G Super Saver Event. If you buy $25 worth of select P&G products, you'll get $5.00 off your order automatically at checkout. By combining paper coupons (new ones coming out this weekend, 12/28) and e-coupons found here, we can make a couple of pretty good deals. Now keep in mind, you'll have to do these deals by Wednesday as the e-coupons expire 12/31.
Here's a few deals I found.

Pantene Hair Care Products are 3.29. Use the buy one shampoo or conditioner and get a styler free e-coupon, plus the 3.00 off 2 coupon from the 12/28 P&G insert. You'll pay .29 for two products before the 5.00 discount.

Cascade is 3.99. Use the .50 off 1 e-coupon and the .50 off 1 coupon from the 12/28 P&G insert to pay 2.49.

Dawn Simple Pleasures Dishwashing Detergent is 2.50. Use the .50 off 1 coupon from the 12/28 P&G insert to pay 1.50.

Crest Pro Health Toothpaste is 2.50. Use the 1.00 off 1 e-coupon and the .50 off 1 coupon from the 12/28 P&G insert to pay .50.

Cover Girl Cosmetics are 25% off. If you buy two mascaras around 8.00 each, they'll be 6.00 each after the 25% discount. Use the buy one get one free e-coupon and two 1.00 off 1 coupons from the 12/28 P&G insert to pay 4.00 for two.

So if you buy:
2 Pantene products (1 shampoo or conditioner and 1 styler)
1 Cascade Dishwashing Detergent
1 Dawn Simple Pleasures Dishwashing Detergent
1 Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste
2 Covergirl Mascaras

You're total before any discounts will be around 27.57 (guessing on the price of mascara). You'll then get your 5.00 discount making it 22.57. Then if you use all of the above mentioned coupons you'll get another 18.79 off, leaving only 3.78 to pay!!! For 7 products, that's a great price!! It comes out to .54 a product!!

I think that's a pretty great deal!!

I'm sure there are other deals in the store, just look for the shelf tags.

Kroger - Cuties Clementines


3 Pound Bags of Cuties Clementines are 2.99 at Kroger this week.  If you use the .55 off 1 coupon from the 12/7 Smartsource insert, they'll only be 1.99 after the coupon doubles to 1.00.  That comes out to only .66 per pound!
  
My family loves these, in fact I've bought a total of 11 pounds of them in the last 2 weeks!!   My son doesn't enjoy regular oranges because of the high amounts of pulp, but he loves these.  They are super sweet and yummy and smaller sized to make great snacks for kids and adults.  

Even our chocolate lab is gaga over them!!  We dropped a piece and she quickly snatched it up and now whenever she sees us opening one, she immediately comes over to beg.  Unfortunately for her, her puppy dog eyes don't work all that often!!!

Coupons - Week of 12/14


This weeks coupons should be the last sets we get in 2008!!! There are no scheduled inserts for the other two weeks of the year, due to the holidays. So this Sunday we should be receiving 1 Smartsource, 1 Redplum and 1 P&G insert.

I saw a couple of great deals, first Daisy sour cream coupons for .50 off 1. At Kroger those are on sale for 1.00, so when the coupon doubles they will be free (sale may end Sunday, so you may want to run out and get it that day!)

Also, there is supposed to be a .50 off any 1 4-pack Cottonelle toilet paper. If you get that one, you'll get free toilet paper at Kroger, as they have 4-packs for .99.

I saw lots of coupons for Betty Crocker, Campbell's, Pillsbury, Kellogg's and the usual P&G products. So stock up now and enjoy two weeks off of clipping!!!

Update - Coupons and KMart


HI!!!

I'm really sorry if you've checked back here a few times (or alot!!) over the past week or so and have seen the same boring coffee creamer post!! I'm pretty bogged down right now, with, well....just life I guess!! My computer time lately has been spent working on gifts for the family and when I'm not doing that, we're doing our lessons (homeschool), shopping, cleaning and tomorrow we're adding in baking!!


I did shop Kroger and Meijer this week and didn't think there was really anything awesome. They both have fresh produce on sale. Kroger has Tyson boneless skinless chicken breast for 1.77 per pound. Overall, it just wasn't much, which was really fine for me because I haven't clipped my coupons in two weeks and I just can't do it right now!!


Now that it's a new month, most of the online coupon sites have changed coupons. You can just scroll down to see on the right side of the blog here a list of printable sites to check. Coupons.com even has some for Star Wars toys!!


I know the regular coupons haven't been too great the last few weeks, but we should be getting at least two inserts this week, so hopefully it'll make up for the shortage!!


KMart is doing super doubles again this week. Which means they will double any coupon up to 2.00, but will not go over the price of the item. You may want to call ahead to your store and be sure they're doing it before you leave!!


Well if I find any great deals I'll be sure and share them with you, otherwise, have a great week and Merry Christmas!!!
