What's Worth Buying this Week at Weis Markets...3/7-3/13


It's an interesting week at Weis.  Nothing free and not much cheap but interesting nonetheless.

MEAT
Perdue Frozen and Weis All Natural Fresh Chicken is 40% off.
Angus Top Round Roasts are BOGO. Reg. price is $5.29, so if you can find 2 Roasts that are about the same size, you'll pay $2.65 lb.
My meat pick of the week is the Catfish, Flounder or Tilapia Fillets for $3.99lb.  The best price/value item here is the Flounder, which you hardly ever see for less than $7 or $8 lb.  This Fish Special comes IQF in bags of around 2lb. each so you'll have to spend $8+ of your budget.  But you'll have 2 or more meals from each bag, depending on how big your eaters are at your house.  I've already picked 1 bag up and will have to stock up a bit more.

DAIRY
More yogurt...AGAIN!....Dannon for $2 a pack.  Various $1/1 ManuQs out there, so $1 yogurt.
Kraft Singles are $2, so if you found any $1/2 blinkies you can get them for $1.50 WYB2.
Laughing Cow Mini Cheeses are $2.50.  Use the $1/1 ManuQ and pay $1.50.

PRODUCE
Not much at a real good price this week.  Grapes are still $1.99lb., strawberries aren't quite seasonal yet so $2.50 lb.
My local store had a special on Empire Apples...$2 for a 3lb. bag so I picked that up.  Smaller apples in it which is good for the teens to take to school.
If your store has the loose mushrooms, they are a better deal at $2.99lb. than the packaged sliced ones on sale for $2 for 8oz.
You'll probably do better buying the Weis brand bags of veggies this week over in the frozen section.  Some of them are $1 per 1lb. bag.

BREAD
Sara Lee Bagels are BOGO($3.69).  There's a $.55/1 ManuQ in the 2/21 RP insert.  Use 2 and if your store doubles, pay $1.69 WYB2($2.69 WYB2 if your store won't take 2 Qs on a BOGO.

CATALINAS
There are FOUR Catalina Deals this week.   I've done some recon work for you on the 1st three Cat deals, so here are the Regular Shelf Prices so you can figure your scenarios.  REMEBER--Weis calculates off the reg. shelf price, not the sale price for purposes of seeing if you bought enough to trigger the catalina coupon.  In this way, "Spend $XX" means you don't necessarily have to spend that to qualify for the Catalina IF the item is on sale.  So you can get a deal even without a coupon...of course, coupons would make this better and cheaper!lol
Please keep in mind that the reg. prices at my local Weis make NOT be the exact same prices at your Weis.

I'll definitely be doing this Cat a couple of times.   Freezer space limits me on the frozen stuff however.

Another Cat I'll be rolling.  If you are in need of Brita products, I found some packages of the faucet system had $10 MIR stickers on them($5 WYB the faucet system and $5 off WYB a replacment filter later on). There are coupons available online so the Cat with the 25% off makes this a possible good buy.  I'll be picking up loads of bleach here.

#4 $5 Cat WYB$25/$10 Cat WYB $35 on P&G products

I don't know about you but I am just about P&G'ed out!lol  There is nothing much I want/need here after getting tons of P&G at Rite-Aid over the past 2 months for almost zero OOP.  Unless there is an incredible deal(like the recent Gillette Body Wash and Deodorant Deal with great high value coupons), I don't buy toiletries at grocery stores so I didn't check the shelf prices on these items, sorry.

So what are you getting at Weis this week?
What great deals did you find that I didn't see?  Let us know!!

  1. I have been getting great deals on the UTOF "All Natural" chickens up here in Western NY. I am guessing the chicken you posted is along the same lines -- vegetarian fed (as opposed to soy/grain). I have read that is healthier. What I've also realized, is they taste better too. So I am grabbing them whenever I find them marked down. Usually that brings them down from $1.85 to $1 per pound. For some reason, this week they were .85 cents per pound.

    I can say that I was very surprised the first time I tried one of these "all natural" birds because they do taste better. And what I got this week was cheaper than the whole birds that were on sale. I seem to think they are leaner too.

    What do you think of the All Natural birds as compared to the "regular" ones?
