Here are some highlights from the new Weekly Sales ad for Weis/Mr. Z's Markets with my personal comments. My advise is worth what you paid for it...FREE. lol
And no, there are NO CATALINA DEALS this week....if you don't count the Buy Gift Cards and Get a OYNO Cat Deal. I sure wish they'd include the Weis Gift Cards in that deal! Then it would be worth doing. ;-)
If you feel I have missed a deal worth mentioning, please leave a comment and let us all know!
I am off shortly to get the stitches in my gum removed. After the swelling went down, the stitches got loose and I've had this string flopping around in my mouth that has been driving me nuts the past 2 days! lol
Sluggy
What's on sale at WEIS/Mr.Z's this week that 'might' be worth buying....
PRODUCE
Yams $.79 lb. Probably the best price we are going to see for Sweet Potatoes now.
Collards or Kale $.69 lb. A good price for these fresh greens. *Note-some stores really saturate these with water to keep them looking hydrated and fresh, but all that excess water makes your produce weigh more at the register. Make sure you give your greens a really good shake or two in the aisle before you bag it to get the water off. It's not only going to make your produce weigh less(cost you less at the scale)but all that extra moisture when trapped in a plastic bag in your fridge is going to turn it to
slime faster if you don't use the greens right away. Better yet, rewrap your greens in a kitchen towel before you put it in the fridge. A towel will help keep them fresh until use and let them breath so they don't liquify.
Ocean Spray Fresh Cranberries $2 a 12 oz. bag
Now is the time to stock up on cranberries for your cooking for the months to come. Fresh OS cranberries are only available for a short time. I'd suggest getting some extra and putting them in the freezer to use in your baking/cooking later. Not a wonderfully low price but probably the best you'll see at Weis unless they have tons leftover and put them on clearance but that would be a YMMV situation in your individual store.
MEAT
Weis Turkey still on sale for .49¢ lb.
If you don't have a store giving free turkeys with a minimum purchase or a Walmart with .40 lb. turkeys, this is probably your best price for a bird this week.
Jimmy Dean Rolled Sausage BOGO ($3.99)
Sausage goes on sale around thanksgiving(some people put it in their stuffing so that's probably why). Jimmy Dean is the primo stuff and hardly goes on sale. If you regularly spend retail on this sausage, now is the time to stock up the freezer. While there are a slew of JD Qs floating around the Coupon Universe, there are none for the reg. rolled sausage. 8-(
The pre-cooked JD sausage is also on sale BOGO($3.99) and there IS a $1/1 Q available for the sunday inserts. If your store let's you use 2 Qs on a BOGO deal, you can get this for $1.00 a box! Precooked is not much good for stuffing but it's mighty tasty for breakfast.
Weis Skinny Chicken BOGO ($3.49lb.)
Personally, I don't pay over $1.99lb for boneless chicken and I think anybody who is too lazy to buy a piece of chicken with skin on it and remove that skin shouldn't even eat chicken.lol It's NOT a difficult job to remove a piece of chicken skin and it's not time consuming so don't tell me you don't have time to do it.
$3.49 or more is way too much to pay per lb. for chicken breast. I think even on sale half price like it is this week for $1.75 lb. is a bit much.
However, if you like this stuff, this price is better than retail. That's all I'm going to say. ;-)
Catfish Fillets are an ok deal at $4.99 lb.
LIVE LOBSTERS $6.99 lb.-2 days only!(11/20-11/21)
Ok people, this is NOT something Weis carries on a regular basis. And though this isn't the BEST price for Lobster, it IS the best deal arond here in landlocked PA at the moment. I'm saying that on condition that this IS North American/Maine Lobster-which I can't tell from the ad if it is, or it's those nasty South American Lobsters which aren't quite the same, but ARE lobsters. If you are loving yo'self some Lobster, make sure you get to Weis/Mr. Z's on Fri. or Sat. and get you some a' this! Lobster is a budget buster but what a way to rip up your budget!lol
Personally, No. American Lobsters that are harvested in the cold weather months taste better than what most people get on vacation in the hot weather months. The cold weather lobster has a harder shell and is more difficult to crack into but it's worth it, as the meat is tastier. That's IMHO here. 8-)
A quick note on Meat---I found marked down Smithfield brand Pork Roasts last night. These Pork Roasts are labeled as Slow Cooker Pork Pot Roast!lolol I just had to laugh about calling pork, pot roast. They are sized to fit into a crockpot. Your Weis probably carries these and they don't seem to be a fast moving item, hence the mark down to get rid of them. Might be worth looking for them, to watch for a clearance. I got a $5.32 one (not quite 2lbs. so it's about $2.69lb reg. price). With the $3 off Meat sticker it was $2.32 or about $1.20lb.
DAIRY
Weis Brand Butter 1lb. $1.67
Except for 1 store locally that has butter for $1.49, this price seems to be as low as you are going to find this fall.
Kraft Cheese(shreds or blocks) $2.00 each. There is a $1/2 Q from the sunday inserts out there for this, making it $1.50 a piece. You can do better at Target this week with their sale price of $1.67 and the Q making it $1.17 when you buy 2.....that is, if your Target isn't sold out already like mine
always is.
Philly Cream Cheese 4 for $5.00($1.25 ea.) Buy 3, use the $1/3 Q from the sunday inserts and you pay $2.75 for 3 boxes, less than $1.00 per box. You can probably do as well with a store brand cream cheese on sale w/out Q somewhere else this week but it's an ok deal if you have to have Philly.
OTHER
Carnation Evaporated Milk $1 each This is still on sale, and use the $1/2 Q from the sunday inserts 2 weeks back to pay .50¢ a can WYB2. A must have for pumpkin pie making and a good emergency shelf-stable milk &/or good for creamed soups/gravies.
Fleischmann's Yeast $1.50 a strip
Pair with the $.40/1 Q from sunday inserts to pay $1.10 or $.70 if your Weis store doubles Qs up to $1. If you bake and you like Fleischmann's and your Weis doubles Qs it's time to stock up. Remember though, Weis only doubles up to 4 of the same Q in an order, so if you want to buy more than 4, buy it in lots of 4, it in separate trips to the store.
Personally, I think buying the bigger Jar of Yeast is more cost effective but these strip packages are good to have on hand for holiday baking.
Ore-Ida Steam and Mash Potatoes $3.00
Ok, if you like these Lazy People's Potatoes and you have the $1/1 Q from the Parade Magazine in Sunday's paper, you can get this for $2.00. Personally, I wouldn't buy this stuff but if you want it/need it, buy it now with the Q.
Birds Eye SteamFresh Meals $5.99
IF you have the BOGO Birds Eye SteamFresh Meal Q from the sunday inserts in October, you can get 2 bags of this for $5.99($3 a bag). I have a IPQ for $1.50/1 off this also which would make these $2.25 a bag. Not sure where I got it from but go google it and you might find a source for an IP Q as well.
Coke 3 for $4 2 liter bottles($1.34 ea.)
Some areas received a $1/5 Coke 2 liters Q in the sunday inserts. Using that Q would make the Coke bottles $1.14 each. I don't buy 2 liter bottles of Coke so I have no idea how good a deal this is. You tell me!lol
Pompeian Olive Oil $6.99
There's a $1/1 sunday inserts Q from August so this would be $5.99 for 32. oz. bottle. Pretty decent for Olive Oil.
Dole Fruit $1 a can. There's a $.35/1 pineapple from the sunday inserts a couple of weeks ago. If your Weis doubles, get a can for .30¢. There is a .50/1 IP Q available
Here.
NON-FOOD
St. Ives Body Wash BOGO
Not sure on the reg. price here but there is a Q from last sunday inserts for $1/1. Use 2 Qs and you might have a deal here on 2!
Marcal Small Steps Napkins $2 each
If your region didn't get the FREE napkins Q and got the $1/1 instead, this week is the time to use it and get a package of these for $1. Not free-and you KNOW I am pissed off about NOT getting that free napkin Q-but a buck is ok.
Marcal Small Steps TP 12 roll or 8 roll Paper Towels $4.99
If you have the $2/1 Small Steps TP Q from the October sunday inserts, a package would be $2.99. Not bad for 12 rolls.
Scotties Facial Tissues/Small Steps Facial Tissue/Renuzit Air Fresheners $1 each
All these have Qs available from the sunday inserts so you can get them even cheaper. Small Steps might be free depending on your Q, the Renuzit has a B2G1Free so after Q it's 3 for $2.00, and the Scotties Q is $1/5 so not such a great deal at $4/5.
