Since this seems to be popular all the time, how about I get it made into a sticky?
Anyway, this is the week of 1/9/11... What great deals have you found?

One good find you might be interested in as we're in the same general area is:
CVS- their 'Gold Emblem' bagged dried fruit is on sale from $3.19 down to $1 a bag. I don't think it's in the flier this week, if it is I missed it, but I grabbed some dried cranberries, apricots and prunes for $1 each in Pboro today...I would imagine all CVSs have this same deal going.
Much cheaper than their usual price, or the grocery store, and a great snack or good for baking that 'keeps' for a while.
My best deal was at Market Basket, Freihofer's Country White bread is usually $3.79, on sale for 99 cents each. I bought two and will put them in the freezer.
This was an awesome week for me. I got about $110 worth of groceries at Publix for only $14
The best deal was the BOGO Special K, combined with a BOGO Coupon, a $1/2 Target Coupon and a coupon for a Free box of Special K protein bars wyb 2 boxes of cereal...I actually made $1 on 8 boxes of cereal and 4 boxes of protein bars!
(4) Yoplait Smoothies for .10 each
(4) Wholly Guacamole (surprisingly good) for $1 each
(2) Planters Trail Mix for Free
(2) CoffeeMate fat free hazelnut creamers for .50 each
(2) boxes of pasta (to donate, I don't need anymore freakin' pasta) and made .20 on those
(2) packages of Babybel cheese for $1.20 each
Those are probably the best deals I got :)
CVS, man, what to say about CVS. I have Finish gel pacs for the dishwasher for about 4 years and made money buying them. I've also got about $25 in ECB's to roll in the next few weeks, and only spent about $5 OOP to get them :D on things I needed anyway...like ziploc sandwich baggies.
Even the produce market was pretty great. I got 2 starfruit, a bag of cherries (1 lb?) 4 granny smith apples, 2 lbs of Romaine lettuce, 2 green peppers, a 5 lb bag of potatoes, a canteloupe, 4 limes and several lbs. of tomatoes for $11.
GREAT week for sales here :D
You guys are doing way better than I am...my best deal was a pkggourmet chocolate covered blueberries at the salvage store for $1.50.
Khaski, thanks! Pboro is about 10 mins from me, I'll check it out! Also in Pboro, frequently Ocean State Job Lots has dried fruit for $1 a pkg, but the packages are tiny.

Got Dunkin Donuts coffee (choc. mint) clearanced at kroger for $2.99 and 3 of those whack-a-oranges for $1. each. They were good b-day gifts for DH today.
3 jars Peanut butter 12 oz each, mark downed to .50 each
3 bags baby carrots. 69 cents each. Aldi's.
3 pounds oranges for $ 1.99 a bag. Aldi's.
2 GIANT bags lettuce, mark downs $ 1 each.
Enough for some chef salad and the chickens get treats :)
Coupon for a free gallon of milk, skim or 1 %. Use by 6/11.
battery powdered candles for .40, from $4
To my fellow Market Basket shoppers- the Milford Valley Farm stuffed chicken breasts are on sale for $1.99 this week- go to the company website, you find .50 off one coupons...and there seems to be no limit to how many you can print (though it's a full page coupon, how strange to me). So you can get a pair of stuffed breaded frozen ch. breasts for $1.50- that's more than 1/2 off the Barber brand regular price for the same item. I like to keep a few boxes on hand for dinner on nights I wanna go on 'auto pilot' for cooking...turn on the oven, through 'em in!

I found ONE website for one Demoule's Market Basket, here:
Market Basket - Weekly Circular, Hours and Locations, and More
Judi
Free pasta at Rite-Aid.
WOW!! great deals here. I had a spend free week so don't have any deals what-so-ever. Even then there are deals, I can't partake. I like hearing about what others are grabbing though.
Keep up the good work!
LynnLC, Didn't realize there was more than one 'Market Basket' nationwide- I was referring to the Demoulas chain, popular here in the NE and the best place to shop in general...other chains can't seem to touch their prices!
Toys went 75% off at Target today in my town. Found the Buzz Lightyear Programmable talking robot for $25. My nephew will be thrilled.
Found large prebaked pumpkin pies at walmart today for $1.98 finally got one in freezer thawed the other one in oven ate some with cool whip it was so good.
For the first time EVER I had an issue with them...being in New Ipswich, we get the Rindge/Swanzey circular, but I always shop the Milford store (markdowns much cheaper there), always had all sales match up- until yesterday. Most things the same, a few items I purchased were NOT on sale despite being listed that way in the fliers for the other 2 stores. Bummer, makes my store planning harder!Quote:

5 lb. bag of grapefruit and (2) Ocean Spray 100% grapefruit juices for a total of $1.48 <<< I'm super excited about this one. I LOVE grapefruit juice and this is just an awesome deal to me. I can't wait until I have a house and can get a grapefruit tree going...:D
(2) YoPlus yogurt 4 pk. for Free
(2) Kraft Homestyle Mac n' Cheese for $ .25 each... These are actually halfway decent for boxed mac n' cheese. A slice of spiral ham and a bit of this stuff isn't bad for a quick dinner. I got to try a box for free from Kraft First Taste last summer and was pleasantly surprised since I really can't stand regular boxed mac n' cheese...
That'll be really about it this week...barring any deals I find at the produce market. There's always next week :D
The "gourmet" cheeses left from Christmas are on sale (with sticker markdowns) at my local Shaw's. i scored big with this last year, this year I got 2 pcs gruyere, some cheddar, and Asiago... at 1/2 or more off...$22 worth of store coupons. The small piece of gruyere was what we had for dinner last night, a $9.48 piece of cheese for $3.48 . We had fondue with about 1/3 of a loaf of HM bread and 3 carrots, a little wine, and flour: cheap, fast, good!
I'd forgotten about this, but this time it's going in my calendar!
Judi
I love cheese like Russ loves cookies. Mmmmm cheese. I like the expensive stuff, too...LOL; just not the price :( We love manchego (not as fondue of course) and it goes for more than $20/lb... It'd be great to see it marked at half off!Quote:

HEB Grocery......3 items on my list were free & had a little profit after coupons/sales.
1 box of kashi go lean cereal...on sale for 2.88 -used a $3.00 off coupon - profit of .12
2 pkg of yakisoba noodles - on sale for .48 each - used 2 .50 off coupon for each -profit .4
dinky profit of .16....but I'm still happy b/c where I live, it's difficult to find many deals:)
CVS this week- Coke 12 packs- 3/15- get $5 ecbs back, makes them $2 each.
I got 5 12 packs of Coke, a pack of huggies, 5 boxes of 'stove top' stuffing- after coupons, ecbs and such, I paid $7.99 oop...and got $6 ECBs back, making my cost for all $1.99 total!
41 loaves of bread, 6 pkgs of cinnamon buns for $5 at the discount bread store

24 vitamin waters for 1.99 (Salvage Store)

Cottenelle wipes free
4 packs Abundance Oatmeal free
12 packs of Mother's rice cakes $1.00
6 Ocean Spray Fruit and veggie juice $3
40 lbs sweet potatoes free
I'm trying to get back on track w/couponing and shopping at the salvage store. The Holiday's threw me off. Most of the deals I have come up with so far have been fairly healthy foods.
Today I used $1 coupons at DG on Cream of Wheat, 6 free boxes. Also the last Olay body wash free at $2 coupon.
This week is not too shabby.
(4) Eight O'Clock coffee (11 oz. bags) @ $1.50 ea.
(4) Kraft BBQ sauce @ $ .21 ea.
(2) Northland 100% dark fruit juice 64 oz. @ $1.50 ea.
(2) Sargento Sunburst snack cheese @ $ .50 ea.
(2) Snack Factory pretzel crisps (I <3 these :D) @ $1.55 ea.
(2) Publix hummus @ $1.30 ea.
(2) Tidy Cat 14 lb. litter @ $2.50 ea.!!!! Whoooo!!! lol...maybe a little too excited about that one...
And to top it all off, I've got a $5/$30 Winn Dixie Q that I can use at Publix before the other coupons come off! So the above should only cost about $15. It's gonna be a pretty good shopping week :) Now, we could use some good meat sales again....I've got a bunch of chicken left in my freezer and that's about the extent of it lol..
3 boxes of Kashi Go Lean cereal on sale $2.88..used 3 $1.00 coupons (1.88 a box)
B1G1F canned pedigree dog food (.50 can)
45 yakisoba noodle dinners on sale .48 each....used 45 .50 coupons (all free)
.90 profit from the free yakisobas that rolled into the rest of my groceries.....good thing b/c milk went up .23 in less than a week:(
Rite-Aid is having a sale on 4 pack GE bulbs regularly $3.99 for $1.99 with an immediate UP reward of $1.99 toward a future non-prescription purchase, you must have one of their free Wellness Cards. We use 40W mostly so I bought five, got the five $1.99 rewards and turned around and bought five more packages of bulbs for free. And don't you know the register kicked out another $1.99 UP Reward? Good only until 2.12.11, but still! This is all due to couponmom.com
"Free" eyedrops at Walgreens...dry eye drops, $7.99, register rewards, $7.99 . However, at the Walgreens I went to (Keene, NH) the register rewards didn't show up, so the asst manager gave me a gift card for the amount instead.

Cvs extra care buck offers- buy $10 of ANY Physician's Formula make up products, get $7 ecbs. I found a bunch of 75% off products from this company, I got 2 loose 'finishing' powders for about $4 each, plus a plumping lipstick for about $3....and still got the $7 off my next trip on top off it. Also, for those of you in my area, there is a CART full of beauty products 75% off in the back left hand corner of the store, on an end cap of the 'baby' aisle.....got a $31 bottle of 'Baby Phat' perfume for $7.75....bday gift for my friend's daughter when she turns 13 this year, 75% off- yeehaw!

My publix run today turned out to be pretty good. I got a couple of bags of New York pita chips that were in 50% larger bags for free using a couple of coupons that expire today. They are normally $2.69 and my coupons were valued up to $3.99...so that was nice, especially getting the bigger bags :) The Sabra hummus is on sale at Publix next week so this should be a nice combo to have for when my parents come down in a few weeks. The Sundrop 2 liters were on an unadvertised BOGO and Publix released BOGO coupons in their Yellow flyer, so I picked up two of those for free and will probably go back and grab a couple more before the end of the week. Got a few more Bordens singles cheese slices for $1 each, and a bunch of the 8 O'clock coffee that I always run out of before the next BOGO+Q sale...so I should be good this time :D Friskies party mix cat treats I made $ .30/bag on, and Kraft BBQ sauce I ended up making $ .20/bottle or so on. Spent $27 and saved $75, so I'll take it :)
I am just pea green with envy of everyone who lives near a CVS! I always hear so many good things about the great deals you get with the care bucks. Don't get me wrong, I am really happy for you TOO....just wish I had one near me so I could get in on the great deals! :)
I'll keep my fingers crossed that one will come to your area soon. They're all over the place, it's gotta happen eventually :)
Edit: Ok, well...I did just take a look, and Portland has lots of CVS's...but other than that, not so much. I never realized how desolate most of OR is. You must be outside of Portland somewhere huh? Gosh it looks pretty amazing with all of the mountains and forests, though.
