Grocery Deals!

12/29/2015

 
With the holidays, last week's Fareway ad will run through 12/31, but we do have a new Hy-Vee ad running 12/30-1/5:

*   Hy-Vee boneless skinless chicken breast @ $1.98/lb.
*   Keebler Town House or Toasted crackers @ $1.88
      $1/1 coupon at kelloggsfamilyrewards.com (points required)
*   Coke 12 pack or 8 pack @ 3/$10 (with purchase of 3)
      Did you get some coupons with Coke rewards this year?  Now's the time to use them!
*   Hy-Vee corn or green beans @ 2/.88
*   Hy-Vee sandwich bread @ .99
*   Red Baron pizza @ 3/$10 and Buy 3 get 1 free with in ad coupon on page 17, (so 4/$10)
      The database isn't currently showing a manufacturer's coupon, but double check since they come available often, and we'll see new coupons the beginning of the month.
*   Kleenex facial tissues 85 ct. @ .88
      .50/3 coupon 2/6 Smart Source insert
      .50/3 or .75/3 (if you share) printables here  (must register) (print 2!)
      It's time to stock up, because there is also a "catalina" deal going on where a coupon prints at the register for $1 (with purchase of 6), $1.50 (with purchase of 7), or $2.00 (with purchase of 8) that you can use like cash on your next grocery visit!  So, buy 8 for $7.04, use (2) .75/3 coupons and pay $5.54 and get the $2 catalina back.  So it's like paying $3.54 for 8 boxes (.44/box) plus tax!  I hear there's some sniffles going around, so you may as well be prepared!  :-) 
*   Hy-Vee chili or kidney beans @ 2/.88
*   Creamette or Ronzoni pasta @ .88
      Again, no coupons showing up on the database, but be sure to check in a couple days!

Be sure to check back at last week's post for Fareway deals ending 12/31!

Happy New Year and Happy Savings!
