Grocery Deals of the Week: 03/24 – 03/31

Heidi — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 22:18:26 +0000

Hello All! So this new format will have the picks that are best for a healthier lifestyle. Many popular companies that are having sales might not be on here for a few reasons: they are meat producers, they test on animals, or they have terrible environmental records. So, the list will be selective and cater to that. This format will have all of the local grocery store listings for the Tucson area, however, they do often overlap with what is on sale in Phoenix and the White Mountains.

03/24 – 03/31:

Sprouts:

Don’t forget Double Ad Wednesdays! Ads from the previous week and current week are combined so you can get all the deals from both weeks Also, check out their website because they often have unadvertised Website Deals you can use in the store. Check out their website as well for meat and seafood deals as I will not post them here. On the occasion, when there is Organic meats on sale, I will post those.

Produce:

Organic and regular Braeburn Apples: .88/lb!

Strawberries: 1 lb. for $1.25!

Red Bell Peppers: .88 each!

Navel Oranges: .49/lb.!

Minneola Tangelos: .88/lb.

Bunched Spinach: .88/lb.!

Idaho Russet Potatoes: .88 for a 5# bag!!

***Don’t automatically assume Organic Produce is out of your price range. Check it out and you might be surprised. I always get organic apples for .99/lb. or less, a 1# bag of carrots for .88, and pears in the same price range. Leaf lettuce is not too pricey either. It is always better to buy organic since it is not sprayed with pesticides, is often local, and the workers are generally treated better as well. And I swear, it just tastes sooo much better!! Must be the smaller crops but it is always better tasting! ***

Hot Pepper Jack Cheese: $1.99/lb.!! If you go tomorrow (Wednesday) the mild cheddar cheese is still on sale for $1.99!

What is a Catalina? – Coupons 101

Heidi — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:21:41 +0000

When trying to maximize savings at the grocery store, one of the best way to do this is to take advantage of Catalina deals. What is a Catalina? A Catalina is a term used for the machines at the registers that provide printed coupons and promotions for products at grocery stores with your receipt. Most grocery stores have Catalinas including Walgreens. If you take advantage of a Catalina promotion you can often receive money off your next purchase! Combine coupons and sales with the Catalina deals and you often get what is called a Money Maker: you can often get the product for free AND make an overage (or profit)!

Here is a current example of a Catalina Promotion going on at Fry’s:

Purchase Purex (50 oz.) Laundry Detergent between 1/11 and 3/7:Off Your Next Shopping Order)
Purchase (3) or more and get $5 coupon OYNSO.

Purchase (2) and get $4 OYNSO (

So, here is what I would do to take advantage of this promotion at Fry’s:

1. Fry’s is having a Buy 1o, Get $3 off Promotion on certain items this week. One of the items is Purex Liquid Laundry Detergent. Price before Buy 10 Promo is $2.49. Price after Buy 10 Promo is $2.19.

2. So, I would use this coupon: Purex Liquid Laundry Detergent, any .35/1 (2-20-10) RP-1/10. After the Buy 10, Get $3 Promo and the coupon, this would make the Purex Liquid Laundry Detergent $1.49 ea., which is a great deal by itself!

3. To then take advantage of the Catalina Deal, I would purchase 2 Purex Liquid Laundry Detergent with coupons (part of the Buy 10 promotion) for a total of $2.98. Then I would receive a printed Catalina for $4.00 OYNSO! That means I made $1.00 AND I received 2 free bottles of Purex!! Isn’t that a GREAT DEAL?!

So, just keep an eye out for the coupons and promos that the cashier gives you with your receipt. Check weekly sales at HowDo ICoupon.com to see if there is ever a match and see your dollars stretch further!

Have any ?s Just leave a comment and I will get back to you ASAP!

Happy Shopping!
