Good Deals at Weis this Week....1/17/10-1/23/10


As far as using Coupons this week at Weis, there aren't many good deals to be had.  A lot of Weis or house brands featured and the usual 'junk' foods like soda, chips, cookies, etc.(which I don't pay much attention to).

No FREEBIES that I can see.  Let me know if you see something because I have gone blind looking for them this week.lol

And of course, NO CATALINA Deals either.....sigh....at least I might be able to stay out of the grocery store this week since it's so abysmal.

Here are the CHEAPIES....

YoPlus Yogurt  & Fiber One Yogurt on sale again this week for $1.50.
--use the $1/1 YoPlus ManuQ from the recent GM insert to get it for .50¢
--use the $.50/1 Fiber One ManuQ(if your store doubles)from the recent GM insert to get it for .50¢

Tony's Pizza  $2.00
--use the $.501/1 ManuQ from 12/13SS(if your store doubles)to get it for $1.00

Activia Yogurt  $2.00
--use the $1/1 ManuQ from either the 10/4SS or the 1/10SS to get it for $1.00

Birds Eye Steamfresh Veggies  $2.00
--use the $1/2 ManuQ(not sure the insert date but it expires 1/17 so use today!) to get it for $1.50 bag
--use the $.50/1 ManuQ from 1/10SS(if your store doubles)to get it for $1.00

And that is about it for Good Coupon Deals.

OTHER DEALS

Meat
Bottom Round Roast $1.49 lb.
--Good price.  Ask the meat dept. person to grind this up for you and you've got very cheap hamburger!

Nathan's Hot Dogs  BOGO ($5.99 reg. price)
--half price with the BOGO sale, so $3.00 a package.  Not a great price for hot doges but these don't go on sale often and they are premium quality in the 'dog world'.  A coupon would have been nice to combine here but no such luck. 8-(

Produce
Mushrooms/Baby Carrots/Lettuce  $1 a bunch/package
--pretty much rock bottom on these items.  Buy & combine all 3 and you've got a nice tasty salad. Per serving it's cheaper than buying those bagged pre-made salads.

Dairy
Weis brand Butter  $2.50
--no coupon deals on the house brands but a good price for butter

Weis Ricotta 15.oz   $2.00
--again, no coupons on house brands but a good price for ricotta


If anyone sees any other good buys this week at Weis, please leave a comment and let us know!

What? Not a Rite-Aid Post?! Diving back into CVSing....

So I get an email the other week inviting me to take a CVS survey.  For a few minutes of my time and $5 in ECBs, I'm there!lol

I've been out of the CVS game since last fall.  I decided to use this $5 ECBs and the portion left on my CVS Gift Card to jump back into CVSing.



1/9/10 Transaction

1 x SoyJoy box=$6.00
Used the $5ECB.
$6.00-$5.00=$1.00 OOP  Put on a CVS gift card
Received $6 ECBs

These boxes of Soy Joy are in the Bonus Pack Aisle with all the other specials that are available until 2/14.

I had some All $2/1 Qs that were expiring the 10th that I wanted to use and CVS had All for $3.99 a bottle that week.  I was going to use those Qs at Rite-Aid(of course!lol)because I had a raincheck from when Rite-Aid had the All for $3.99 also, but everytime I go to Rite-Aid they either don't have any All or only 1 bottle.  So it was back into the store to use those Qs and get a few more things as well.


1/9/10 Part II Transaction
3 x All Detergent on sale $3.99=$11.97
2 x Oust Spray $3.99=$5.98
2 x Rubbermaid Containers $1.99BOGO=$1.99
2 x Bioluxe 'Poo and Conditioner BOGO=$9.99

Coupon Total.....$22.99

$31.18-$22.99=$10.19+$.58tax=$10.77 OOP Put on CVS Gift Card
Received $6 ECBs(2x3 Oust).
So I used my $6 ECBs, got $6 more and used my $2 All Qs with nothing OOP.
And there is a Full Price Refund on the Bioluxe Conditioner, so I'll be getting $9.99 back on this purchase.

And for all you Compacters out there, yes, I totally did buy NEW PLASTIC containers here!
Ugh.
But they were FREE after Qs and we needed them.
Buying New Total for 2010.....2+$0OOP
Compacting.....0

This week the Sis-in-law wanted to go to CVS so off we went again this week.  I wanted to get some of the Bonus Pack Buys of the Nature's Bounty MyLife Vitamins.  The ones in the special aisle display are BOGO $9.99 for 2 Bottles.  I read somewhere online(frugalsuz.blogspot.com perhaps?)that Nature's Bounty has a website where you can get IPQs for their products by submitting codes off of bottles that you buy.  Since I have a TON of chewable Vitamin C plus other NB vitamins I bought at Rite-Aid(where else?lol)the past few months for basically free or $1 after coupons, I went online and fairly shortly I had enough points to redeem for some $5 off Nature's Bounty Qs...sweet!
So we were off to CVS.....

1/15/10 Transaction

2 x Your Life Vitamins BOGO=$9.99
1 x CVS Juice on sale=$2.50
1 x SoftSoap Hand Soap=$3.99
SubTotal....$16.48

$16.48-$15.00=$1.48 OOP  Put on CVS Gift Card
Received $3ECBs(WYB 2 Nature's Bounty)& $2ECBs(WYB Bonus SoftSoap)=$5ECBs

*****
I didn't realize until I got home and went over my receipt that I didn't spend enough to use that $5 off $20 Coupon!
EEK!
I was thinking each Vitamin purchase counted.....total on those was $19.98 BEFORE the BOGO so with the juice and soap was over $20.
But that cashier never even said BOO about the situation....if she had I would have turned bright red and bought more.  I reallly wasn't trying to pull a fast one here.  For lack of a better phrase, My Bad.lol

I'm up to $11ECBs at this point.

I was over by that CVS again this morning, so I went back in for more Vitamins....this time I bought enough to use the $5 off Q.lol


1/16/10 Transaction

1 x Soy Joy bonus Days box=$6.00
4 x YourLife NB Vitamins BOGO@$9.99=$19.98
