Before we start here, these are the cinnamon brooms I spoke of yesterday...........
People buy them and hang them either as is or decorate them with fall items/flowers and then hang them in their homes(a kitchen usually I am guessing?). Not a pleasant aroma in the Summer heat or when you get 100 or more together giving off fumes in an enclosed space at the store.
Moving on--
Last day of the sale so I hit Weis Wednesday afternoon for a few Deals.........
The Scottie facial tissues were $1 a box this week. I have a $1/3 IPQ and a .25¢/1 Weis CatalinaQ that stacked with the IPQ so .58¢ per box for 3 boxes.
The San Giorgio pasta was .67¢ a box and with the $1/2 ManuQ in Sunday's paper insert each box cost .17¢.
Weis has a free turkey/ham/etc. Thanksgiving Deal--Spend in $50 increments and receive 10 points per $50 purchase. 50 Points gets you a free meat item, so you need to spend $250 to get the freebie.
OR
Select items(mostly Weis branded items)earn you 10 Points when you buy 5 in one transaction. This is a less expensive way to earn those Points toward a freebie, especially since most of my shopping trips don't hit $50 in a single transaction.
The bags of noodles, the whipped cream topping and the bag of croutons were among the select items. All but the croutons were also on sale this week. I needed noodles and croutons and the whipped cream goes in the fridge for Thanksgiving pie action. Between reaching $50 in spending on this trip and those 5 items(which was $7.89 of my spending total)I received 20 Points today and now have 50 Points to get my freebie.
Yay!
I also bought 10 Powerades for Daughter. Limit of 10 and they were .57¢ each. She works in a hot restaurant kitchen on weekends so needs the electrolytes they provide(and has promised to save the caps for me to get points on my Coke Rewards account). 10 bottles were $5.70 minus the $1/4 Weis coupon book Q making these $4.70 OOP or .47¢ each.
The 3 pounds of butter got added to the other 6 pounds I bought earlier this week at a rock bottom price around here of $2.37 lb. (The 6 packages bought earlier in the week got me another 10 Points toward my free meat item.)
I also did the Mix & Match Deal-buy 6 select items, get $3 off instantly. 3 Apple Juices and 3 bags of Croutons(both for the BF)after the discount cost .99¢ each....half price for the croutons and better than half price for the juice.
My last find was 4 packages of Ground Beef(3 80%/1 73%)with $2 off Instant Meat Discount stickers on them. After discount stickers the packs came to between $2.50 +$2.58 per lb. The best price around here this week for ground beef. Each package is a little over 1 lb. each so I just popped these into the freezer as is to pull out to use in the future.
After Qs and discounts and sales my total for all this plus more things was $46.57 OOP and I "only" saved 44% over regular retail.
A good trip but I've done much better. ;-)
Since I got to 50 Points already I'll only be buying the best deals at Weis from now until Thanksgiving. I'll concentrate my shopping at the Shursave grocery store to try to get to their reward.

I know some people think Gatorade, powerade etc. are a waste, but I agree when the sweat comes faster than water can go in. something more is needed. I never end up with enough points where we have the turkey cars. I think it is like $500 needed before you get there. I throw my receipts into the church collection and they use to buy turkeys for the various community dinners they host.
ReplyDeleteYou did very well, Sluggy. I am also stocking up on Fall sale promos, Thanksgiving promos, racking up dollars spent towards a freebie turkey.
