Cub Foods SUPER DEAL!


I have no use for this deal so if you want it stop by my desk the COUPONS FOR THIS DEAL will be on the corner of my desk. I don't need to be at my desk for you to take one. I'm just happy if someone wants to get this FABULOUS DEAL.
Cub Foods has Kellogg's cereal on sale for $2.99 this week and if you purchase 3 you INSTANTLY get a FREE GALLON OF MILK! To make the deal even sweeter I have coupons (2 sets) to get $2.00 OF FRESH FRUIT FREE when you purchase 2 Kellogg's cereals AND A $1.00 OFF COUPONS WHEN YOU PURCHASE 3 BOXES OF CEREAL!
So for $7.97 you'll get 3 boxes of cereal, 1 gallon of milk, and $2.00 worth of fresh fruit! AN UNBELIEVABLE BARGAIN!
It all adds up!

FREE Floor Gripper


I signed up for this last APRIL and didn't think I was one of the lucky recipients so I was TOTALLY SURPRISED to find this in my mailbox last night. A FREE 3M Floor Gripper Anti-slip runner! Yay! It's a new product by 3M and is super for putting under those rugs that have no "gripper" to them.
I love my mailbox!

FREE 1/2 Pound

Sorry, no pic but I got my "Friday Email Coupon" from Cub Foods and it was for a FREE 1/2 pound of Di Lusso meat OR cheese. I picked up a 1/2 pound of their peppered turkey and it is delicious! Make sure and open your Friday email from Cub if you haven't already because the coupon is only good until Sunday. Go the the Cub Foods website to sign up for these weekly coupons. Most of the time they are for something that I'm not interested in but this week's is FANTASTIC!

Target has FANS for $3.74

Sorry, no picture but if you've been flooded and are in need of some fans Target has box fans on clearance for $3.74. They are not the "highest" quality but will blow enough to help you dry out. I bought 4 of them to help me in my basement. At this price you can afford to buy several if you are in need. They had about 50-75 in stock as of Friday afternoon at 3:00p.m. These will go fast once people find out about it since so many of us have water in our basements.

FREE UofM Tee Shirt


If you're needing to purchase coke between now and October 9 grab one of these tear pad coupons and purchase $10 worth of coca-cola in the 6 pack 24 oz OR 8-pack 12oz products and mail in your CUB FOODS (only at Cub) receipt and this form and they'll mail you an XL t-shirt! FREE CLOTHES! Ha! ha!
Yay!

$1.00 off Tyson Heat'N Eat Entrees


I know I talked about these earlier this week but much to my surprise I flipped through the "Fall into good things" circular that was in the store a couple of weeks ago and spotted this great $1.00 off coupon on the Tyson Heat'N Eat Entrees. So instead of $3.99 you would pay $2.99 this week! Time to stock up.

$10 off $25 at JC Penney


Love it! Here's another $10 off a purchase of $25 or more coupon from J.C. Penney! Yay! Go find something cute for yourself or a family member and get a good deal to boot! This coupon is good from September 19 - 28th. If you have to shop before that there is also a "Extra 20% off coupon out there on your purchases" good from September 15 - 18 that you should have in your pocket too!

It all adds up!

20% off at Maurices


Did you know that Maurice's carries sizes 1 thru 24? Yup, and they have really cute clothes, jewelry & shoes. Use this great coupon for something snappy for fall. Sadly, it doesn't include clearance items. Boo Hoo!

Famous Footwear thru 10/30/10


Well, I'm clearly on the Famous Footwear mailing list again and received this great 20% off coupon for your ENTIRE PURCHASE. It's good from 9/19 - 10/30 and nows the time to go check the clearance shoes because this coupon is good on those items too! Not only check the clearance RACKS but they usually have an area along the back wall of clearance too. That's where I found those great boat shoes for $15 last spring.
It all adds up!

FREE Salsa or Queso


OK, I was in Cub Foods last night and actually saw 2 shoppers totally miss this deal. Cub has Tostitos on sale for 2 for $5.00. Well, right there on the display is a tear pad to get a FREE SALSA OR QUESO when you buy 2 bags of Tostitos! Don't even think about buying Tostitos without grabbing the FREE stuff too! Keep your eyes peeled at all times for this type of thing - READ THE SIGNS IN THE STORE!

Caramel Apple Time


WOW! Cub Foods has their Abdallah caramel apples on sale for 10 for $10 this week. (These are $1.50 at Econo.) This is a MUST BUY price on caramel apples and I can guarantee that they are delicious. They have a nice but not overly done layer of caramel. You can find the display right next to the fresh strawberries.

Fisher Nuts


Yay! It's time to pull out those great $1.00 off coupons for Fisher nuts and cruise on in to Mendard's! You'll be able to snag them for $.50 per 14 oz jar this week. Yum. I love having these on hand for work and at home.
There are alot of other great deals in this week's circular so keep your eyes peeled!

Walgreens Good Deals


Check out this week's Walgreen's circular for lots of good deals that you can match coupons to. The one item that JUMPS OUT AT ME this week is the ThermaCare Heat Wrap! Whoa! Sale priced at $2.49 less $1.50 Register Reward = $.99 each. This is a stock up price for future aches and pains in my book. You will never find these cheaper. It's also a great time to try this product if you never have. You might be surprised at how good they really work! Remember to purchase one at a time to get the Register Rewards, but worth a couple of stops this week on your way home.
It all adds up and pain relief is worth any price!

Hy Vee - HOT DEALS


Hy Vee is having a great 2-day sale this Thursday & Friday in Faribault. Look at the prices for Bone-in Pork Shoulder Roast OR Split Chicken Breasts! $.99 per pound. It does say limit 2 but this is an out-of-sight price!
The Campbell's Chunky soups are on a great price discount too! Use your $.50 off 2 coupon from last week to snare some soup for $.74 per can!
And, last but certainly not least, please notice the $1.00 INCREDIBLE QUAKER DOLLAR SALE! Stock up time for oatmeal and granola bars for me. Luckily I grabbed a peelie about a month ago for $1.00 off 2 granola bars to make this deal even hotter! I'll get 2 boxes of granola bars (6 bars) for $1.00. Always grab those peelies and coupon pad coupons whenever you see them. You never know when the BEST SALE EVER is going to pop up!
It all adds up!

Campbell's Soup & Pepsi


Cub Foods seems to have a lot of great prices this week on alot of items. The 5 for $5 on the Soup At Hand is a great price and add in your $1.00 OFF any 3 coupon from a few weeks ago and you can pick up 3 for $2.00 - A SUPER PRICE!
It's also a pretty good price for the PEPSI this week using the coupon in the ad to get 2 24-packs for $10.00. I'm thinking about stocking up on this as I don't know if we'll see the even lower prices on Pepsi for a while.
It all adds up!

Cub Foods


Match your great $1.00 OFF any COUNTRY CROCK side dish coupon to this week's sale price of $2.99 to get a great side dish for $1.99 this week. I've tried the mashed potatoes and they are quite good!
Also, match your $.75 OFF coupon to this week's sale price of $3.99 to get a Hormel fully cooked entree for $3.24. Judy K turned me on to the Beef Tips and it is quite good over egg noodles for a quick weeknight dinner when you don't feel like cooking too much!

Cub Foods - Di Lusso Coupon


I love these coupons at Cub Foods. FREE 1/2 pound of Di Lusso cheese when you buy 1 pound of Di Lusso turkey breast. These are a good deal and if you still have the "Save $2.00 on deli meat or cheese coupon when you purchase one package of CARR'S crackers or Keebler TOASTEDS" you can make it an even better deal! Make a great party tray for the next Vikings game - hopefully it'll be better than the last game!

Cub Foods - Marie's Salad Dressing


I spotted this great coupon for BUY 1 GET 1 FREE on Marie's Salad Dressing at Cub this week. This is a super deal.
Did you know that these refrigerated salad dressings have a lot less preservatives in them and are healthier than the salad dressings you'll find on the grocery shelves? Yes, they may cost a bit more but isn't it worth it? I have moved to the refrigerated ones in the last few months and really notice a taste difference, too.

Culver's


Check out the back side of the Culver's circular in the shopper for some great BUY 1 GET 1 FREE coupons on the Double Butterburger, sundae, and Concrete Mixers. YUM! These coupons are good at many of the MN Culver's locations. I do note that they are not good at the Rochester locations though.

Lamperts - a forgotton store for me


Now here's a store that I usually miss when searching for good deals - LAMPERTS! I hope you all received the circular in this week's shopper, especially if you are in the home improvement mode. There are an array of coupons depending on the size of your purchase. Wow! $50 off a purchase of $200, $10 off a purchase of $50, and $5 off a purchase of $25. Those are rock'n good coupons. On the cover of the circular is also a great coupon for FREE Windshield Washer Fluid - Yay, I LOVE FREE! When you stop in the store make sure and bring your entry blank to with a $1,000 shopping giveaway. It says it is for a LOCAL WINNER so that increases your odds TREMENDOUSLY! Go for it!

I'M BACK!

Sorry about my recent break from blogging. It was unavoidable as I am super busy at work and have not had any spare moments. However, I'm back and a little refreshed so let's get busy keeping money in our pockets again! Yay!

Cub Foods - Culinary Circle Brand


Remember a couple of week's ago when I tried the Cheese Lasagna from Cub Foods' Culinary Circle and HATED IT! Well, it did have a money back guarantee and I received my refund check yesterday for the full purchase price. Now, you may enjoy this lasagna but I did not so I'm not bashing it totally because I have had the beef lasagna and it was FABULOUS! Anyway, they included a VERY NICE COUPON for $2.00 off ANY Culinary Circle product. Yay! I will definitely be using that!

ACE Hardware - Furnace Filters


In this week's ACE Hardware circular I notice that they have the ACE brand of furnace filters at $3.99. I'm not sure if this is their everyday price or not but $3.99 for a furnace filter is a GREAT price. Time to stock up with a few of them to get your through the winter!

Be sure to use your ACE REWARDS CARD on all of your purchases to earn great cash rewards!

There are a few great COUPONS in the ad too!

A 5X7 Poly Tarp for $.99, a fiberglass furnace filter for $.59, a Snap Blade Knife for $.29, and a bottle of Drain Opener for $.99. There's even a FREE after rebate deal on Mouse Traps if you need them!

ACE Hardware - DampRid Sale


I spotted DampRid on sale in the ACE Hardware circular this week. Be sure and use one of the great DampRid coupons for $1.00 off that have been in your coupon circulars all summer to get these at a great price! Notice that you can pick up the Refillable Moisture Absorber for $.99 after using your coupon. A great time to TRY the product if you never have before.

$1.98 at Walgreens!


It was a good trip to Walgreens today! Here's what I got for $1.98 before tax.
1 Listerine Total Care
2 Bayer Low Dose Chewable Aspirin
4 Bags of Plastic Silverware
Yahoo! That's alot of stuff for $1.98. Use those coupons for the Bayer and Listerine and you can get this deal too!
It all adds up!

KRAFT CHEESE - Possibly a FREEBIE!

On the back page of the CUB FOODS circular this week you will see that KRAFT cheese is in the BUY 5 GET $5.00 deal. (Yahoo! I've been waiting for a great cheese sale.) Anyway, without coupons this is a good deal - Spend $10 on Kraft cheese, get a catalina coupon for $5 off your next order.

TO MAKE THIS DEAL EVEN BETTER! Go here: http://brands.kraftfoods.com/kraftcheese/index.html and print the coupon for $5.00 off of KRAFT CHEESE (includes other items, too) coupon to get your 5 items for FREE!

Yup, 2 1/2 pounds of KRAFT CHEESE for FREE!

Hurry, as Kraft will not leave this coupon up for long!

Great Dole Coupon!


I found this great coupon in a dispenser near the refrigerated juice at Cub Foods yesterday. On one side there is a coupon for $.50 off any ONE dole Sensation - Natural Lemon Lime or Watermelon! BUT, on the other side is a coupon for $.50 OFF Dole BANANAS! Fabulous. The coupon is good until 10/01/10 so be sure to grab a couple of these, especially if you pack your kids' lunch!
It all adds up!
