FREE ADMISSION ALL SUMMER LONG BUT ON THURSDAYS YOU CAN GET $1 Programs, $1 Hormel Hot Dogs, $1 Pepsi's, $1 Nachos & Cheese, and $2.50 Miller Beer Specials.

No Coupons

Just wanted to let you know that there will be NO coupon inserts (Smartsource, Red Plum or P&G) in this weekend's papers. This is normal for Holiday weekends. So, no need to buy the Star Tribune just for the coupons.
BUT
Watch for the great sales at places like Kohls and JC Penney!

Easy Deal at Cub this Week!


The 5-packs of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese have a "peelie" coupon on them for a FREE box of Capri Sun! That's a great deal!
PLUS!
If you're so inclined and EAT A LOT of Macaroni & Cheese at your house try out this deal.
Buy 5 5-packs of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese and get the FREE 5 packs of Capri Sun. The Capri Sun's will make you eligible for Cub's $4.00 on your next purchase "catalina." So you'll spend $18.45 and get a $4.00 catalina making it $14.45 for the 5-5 packs and 5 boxes of Capris Sun.
(A catalina is the little slip of paper that comes out of the machine by the register. It is the same as CASH!)
PLUS!
If you happen to have the Kraft "Delicious Summer Savings" rebate coupon you can send in your receipt on these items PLUS one more small KRAFT purchase (I will buy the KRAFT BBQ sauce for $.69) and get a $10.00 REBATE.
SO, for $4.45 + .69 = $5.14 I'll get 5 5-packs of Mac & Cheese, 5 boxes of Capri Sun, and 1 BBQ! That's an unbelievable good deal in my book!
It all adds up!

This week at Walgreens


Ok, not too much to report about but these were great deals this week.
2 - U Tampons 18 count - $7.00 less 2 $1.00 coupons less $3.50 in Register Rewards = $2.00
1 - Bag of Potting Soil not pictured - $1.50
2 Packs of Stride Gum - $1.00 less Buy One Get One Free Coupon less Wags $1.00 coupon - $FREE
If you look closely above you'll note a screw up. The cashier did not enter the Walgreens coupon that should have charged me $.99 for the soil. Instead I paid $1.50! DRAT! I hate that. You have to watch closely at all times at check out. All in all I thought $3.50 out of pocket for all of these items was good.

George's Vineyard


I grew up eating the "Greeks" pizza. If you're a Townie, like I am, that's what we grew up on and ohhhhhh the memories. It seemed like every Friday night I was in Bill's Pizza with somebody. We all went there. If we were young it was around 8:00pm if we were older it was more like 1:00am!
These days George's is owned, I believe, by a grandson of Bill. Phil and I were classmates in high school and he and his cousin, Anna, (a cousin? of Phil) always had to work the weekends.
Anyway, did you know there is a coupon on the George's Vineyard website for pizza discounts? Well, check it out next time before you order a pizza and save a little cash.
It all adds up!
Hey! Does anyone out there remember Dino's onion rings?
