Great Deals I Got Yesterday

I usually wait until after getting the Sunday paper to shop for the weekend, but I had some time and ran out yesterday, and here are the best deals I got (REMINDER: grocery store sales are from Wednesday to Tuesday typically, so get out there by Tuesday if you want these!):

The magic of eCoupons

Yesterday I briefly mentioned shortcuts.com and cellfire.com. For the uninitiated, these are sights where you can register your grocery club card (here in the islands the only participating chain I know of is Safeway) and load coupons onto your card, so that when you scan it at check out you automatically save $. The lovely thing about this is these e-coupons are totally stackable with paper coupons and other e-coupons. AND they tend to have the same coupons available as coupons.com.

An example:
This morning I needed some yogurt. Yoplait cups, regularly $1.29 ea., were on sale at Safeway for $0.80, or $0.60 ea if you buy a min 10. There was an e-coupon from cellfire.com for $0.50 off 6, an e-coupon for $0.60 off 6 from shortcuts.com, and a printable coupon for $0.50 off 6. All 3 were accepted, so I paid $4.40 for $12.90 worth of yogurt.

It's easy, it adds up. Do it weekly - there's always new ones!

One last thing - don't forget to check out Half Price Deals weekly! Salem Communications offers new gift certificates for half off every Wednesday at 9:00am. This week - Senor Frogs! W00T! Anybody wanna margarita on me? There's are lots of other deals available, so check it out!!!

Coupon available from Hawaiian Airlines

Yeah, I know, I know, I need to blog more faithfully. I got a couple of KILLER deals this weekend at both Foodland and Safeway. But real quick I wanted to let you know about an eCoupon available through Hawaiian. You'll need to have your Hawaiian Miles number handy, then click here to save 10%-20% on travel booked through December.

Incidentally, I found this out by following HA on Twitter. If you don't already tweet, give it some serious consideration, my lovelies!

Back in the saddle!

Was out of town and out of the loop. Back in the groove. Deals I got today:

Foodland
Now, I've not always thought Foodland had the best buys, but some I got today made them the clear winner this week. Incidentally, they've got Catalinas (those machines that print coupons at the register) now!
* General Mills cereals - some are 2/$4.50, some aren't. The ones that aren't have $1 off 2 peelies (those coupons on the box that say "buy now and save!"). But the peelies were good for the sale cereals, too! So I got Golden Grahams, Cookie Crisps, and Cocoa Puffs for $1.75 ea.
* Pecan Sandies. Normally $4.49 ea. Sale $3.49. Coupon I printed on-line for $1 off. Peelie for $1 off milk, which was on sale for $3.99/gal.
* Kraft Bagelfuls. Reg $4.99, on sale for $2.50 ea. Had a $1 off coupon. And the kid LOVES them!
* Dial Men's Body Wash - reg $8.49, on sale for $3.99, coupon for $1.00 off 2.
* Fusion Razor - Reg $13.99, on sale for $9.99, coupon for $4 off.

Also, Foodland has a great deal on ribs this week. Didn't buy any today, but spare ribs are $1.97 - and here's how to prepare them. Cut into shareable pieces. Throw into a pan (I use those disposable foil ones) and set over an indirect flame on your grill for 2 1/2-3 hrs or until the meat falls off the bone. Remove from grill, dump Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ over them, and return them to the grill over a direct flame for like, 2 min on each side. Oh. My. Goodness.
Also, for the salad-holic in me, Romaine on sale for $1.59.

Eh, I'm tired. Had a few good deals at Safeway. Will blog about them tomorrow.

Barbequuuuuuuuuuuuue!!!!

So the traditional Memorial Day barbeque is clearly the theme this week! Lot's of awesome deals right now, and for a change they are NOT all at Safeway ;)

Before you go, make SURE you check out coupons.com and print, print, print! Lots of high value coupons, especially on Kraft products, many of which are on sale this week!

First, let's go to Star Markets! I've never blogged about Star yet, but there's a few deals here that are the best around:
* 16-20 ct Black Tiger shrimp for $7.99 - AMAZING on the grill, and the best price on the big boys I see this week.
* Corn for $0.29/ear. That's better than $0.33 at Foodland and Times! Not only so, but it's local, and local is good!
* Stella Artois, 12pk for $13.49 - yeah, not the cheapest beer, but come on, it's STELLA!
* California Pizza Kitchen pizzas for $5.99. They HAD been $5.49 at Safeway, but that deal ended yesterday. Print your coupons as I told you and you'll find one for $1 off.
* Russett and red potatoes for $0.99. Foodland's got $0.99 for russetts, but I like reds better myself...nicer for potato salad

And now on to Times:

* Kraft American Singles, 12 oz, $2.59 - print out a coupon for $1 off 2

* Romaine lettuce, $1.49/lb
* Pepsi 12 can cases, 5/$13, or $2.60 ea.

And finally to Safeway:

* Red cherries $2.99 (same as at Times)
* Bushes Baked beans, 28 oz (the BIG cans) 2/$4
* Kraft Salad dressing, 2/$4, print coupon for $1 off ea.!
