A Few Deals I Did Other Than Rite-Aid This Week

Not a lot of big grocery shopping trips this week.
Here are two items/deals I did well on.........

Lindy's Italian Ice(aka Water Ice) were BOGO at Weis(PMITA)Markets this past ad week.
While I had no coupons to use I did send for a .50¢ Checkout51 cash rebate which made both of these $2.99 total.
(They're empty because I take the cups out of the box before stowing in the freezer.)

I did this Mix & Match 6 Items Deal at Weis as well.....

4 x Chi-Chis Salsa on sale $1.99=$7.96
1 x Borden cheese slices on sale=$2.49
1 x TopCare bandaids on sale=$2.29
SubTotal......$12.74

Coupons Used
4 x .55¢/1 Chi-Chi's items IPQ(doubled to $1)=$4.00
1 x .50¢/1 Borden item ManuQ(doubled to $1)=$1.00
1 x $3 off wyb 6 select items=$3.00
Coupon Total.....$8.00

$12.74-$8.00=$4.74 OOP for all 6 items.

I also bought a 4 pack of store made burgers(Swiss and Mushroom)marked down and it had a $3 off Instant Sticker on it AND I had a Weis mailed .50¢ off Ground Beef of at least 1 lb. in weight.  My 1.64 lb. burgers cost me after all discounts $2.74 lb.
I also snagged a 1.31 lb. packaged of ground veal, marked down and with a $3 off Instant Sticker so it cost me $2.39 lb.
I picked up 2 small London Broil to marinated, grill and slice.  These were BOGO.
A gallon of milk, an 8 pack of hot dog buns and a bag of 50% Romaine hearts salad rounded out this shop.

$30.48 OOP with a savings over reg. retail of 52%.

Deals lately on items we use have been "meh" but I keep plodding along and do the best I can.
Any great deals at your stores lately?

Grocery Deals This Week at Weis

Here are some of the best grocery deals I got at Weis(PMITA)Markets this past week/sales ad.

These 6 items were part of the Mix N' Match/Buy 6 Items Get $3 Off Instantly Deal.

4 x Dole dippers(fruit covered in chocolate)
2 x lobster ravioli in sauce(ready made dinner)
Regular retail on all this is $31.94

Sale prices this week for all was $24.94
Deduct $3 for buying 6=$21.94
Deduct $4 in coupons I had for the Dole products=$17.94
Deduct $6 for the 2 x $3 Instant Discount stickers on the ravioli=$11.94 for all 6 items.

After sale/deal instant/instant discount stickers the lobster ravioli were $2.99 per package, much better than the $7.99 they usually go for.
Now I know these aren't usual items in my menu-the ravioli was a bit of a splurge meal and I have been wanting to try those chocolate covered fruit things. 8-)

I picked up 3 1 lb. packs of mushrooms marked down 50% off($1.99)and 1 bag of shredded carrots also marked down 50% off($1.24).
We love mushrooms here but rarely find them 1/2 off.

A trip to the Day Old Bakery rack yielded Garlic Bread($1.50), Bagels($1.24), Oatmeal Cookies($2.50)and Muffins($2).  All 1/2 off.

Daughter requested Pop-Tarts. Since they were on special for $1.67 this week(Must buy 3 to get that price)and I had 2 x $1/2 IPQs for them, I got her 4 boxes for $1.17 each.  This should keep her sweet tooth in check for quite some time.

A wander down the condiment aisle and I saw these were on clearance for 50% off...Masterpiece BBQ sauce($1), Sweet Baby Ray's Special Sauce and BBQ Mustard Sauce-SC style bbq($1.09).
With grilling season coming I scooped these up.

Gorton's seafood was 50% off this week and when you bought 3 items you also got an instant $2 discount your order.
3 x $6.99=$20.97-$10.50 off=$10.47-$2 instant discount=$8.47-$2 in ManuQs I had=$6.47 for 3 bags of fish/shrimp or $2.16 per package.

New England Coffee was BOGO this week and Hubs and the Daughter wanted some plus I had a $1.50/2 ManuQ so two bags cost me $6.99 or $3.50 per bag.  A bit more than I like to spend on something I don't drink. lolz

These individual Minute Rice fried rice cups are regularly $2 each but on sale for 3 for $5 or $1.67 each this week and I had a $1/2 ManuQ so $1.17 each after sale and Q.
Hubs or Daughter can use these for quick lunches or I can send them to College Boy as this is something he can heat up in his room for a quick bite to eat.

Discount Sticker meats were plentiful when I went to Weis this week.
I got these end loin pork chops, regular price was $15.08-$6.55 for sale price=$8.53 and there were 2 x $2 instant discount stickers=$4.53 for both packages.  These totaled 2.85 lbs. so $1.59 per lb.

And my best deal were these 3 packages of 90% lean ground beef.  They had a sell by date of that day but that's just because it was the last day of the sales ad and I suppose the staff doesn't want to have to repackage and relabel all that meat.  This stuff goes for over $5 per lb. usually.
$38.35 reg. price these packages-$20.16(the sale price)-$9 in Instant Discount Stickers=$11.16 for 6.74 lbs. of ground beef or $1.66 per lb......for 90% lean!!!
I would have bought ALL the packages at that price except I have no room in the freezer for it.

Anyway, this trip was $70.55 and $164.88 reg. retail price so I saved $94.33 with sales/coupons/instant discounts. or a 57.21% savings rate.

Except I used one of those discounted Weis gift cards I bought on Raise dotcom last December for 10% off face value.
So IF I had paid for the gift card this year I'd have saved another 10% on this transaction(paid $63.50 for all)but since I paid for the gift card with last year's money I essentially spend $0 out of pocket  on the whole transaction.
Sweet.

Working the angles and working the deals to save us money here at Chez Sluggy.

What good deals have you found on groceries this week and where?

A Pretty Good Deal

If you shop at Weis(PMITA)Markets you know they have been on this "Mix & Match Deal" kick the last few months.

The promotion is Buy X Number of Select Items and Get $X Back.
But it's not just one company's items deal, it's a wide assortment of companies and types of items and the Deal changes greatly every sales ad.

Sometimes there is nothing I'd buy and infrequently it encompasses some items I would consider buying.
And rarely I can pick and choose items worth buying and pair the deal with coupons.......this is when I actually do these deals.

I did the Mix & Match on Friday, paying $5.94 OOP for 6 items after the $3 off and coupons.

Pictured above, 2 jars of Prego sauce, 2 boxes of Ortega shells, a Butterball smoked sausage package(between the shells and the cheese slices)and the Hot Pockets food truck bites were what I bought/part of the Mix & Match Deal.
On sale those 6 items came to $14.94
I used a $3/1 ManuQ HP Food Truck Q, a $1/2 Prego IPQ, a $1/2 Ortega IPQ and a .55/1 Butterball IPQ(which doubled up to $1 at Weis).
Pairing this $6 off with the $3 Deal discount I received $9 off my total of $14.94, making my new total $5.94 or less than $1 for each of these 6 items.

I also bought 5 cannisters of panko for $1 each on sale as I was almost out of panko and was waiting for a deal on it.

The BF also goes through cheese slices at a good clip so I jumped on the BOGO Kraft slices deal this week as well.  $4.49 for 2 packages on sale.
Plus I used 2 x .75/1 Kraft IPQ(which each doubled to $1).  Even though Kraft slices are on sale BOGO you can still use 1 Q on each package.  Sweet.
So I paid $2.49 total for both packages.

I'm posting these deals in case some other Weis shopper wants in on these.
