This week Foodarama gets my vote for best front page deals. They have a family pack of split fryer breasts for 77 cents per pound, limit 2 w/ $10 purchase (“L2w/$10″). They also have large hass avocados for $.58 each and roma tomatoes for $.68/lb. If you get their advertisement in the paper, they have clip coupons and save. You don’t have to clip these, just bring in your flier and they will give you these prices. The flier in the paper is different than the flier they have in the store. You can get 14.5oz red gold can tomatoes 3 for $1, L3/$10. Del monte ketchup 2 for $1, L2/$10. Dozen medium eggs for $.79 each, L2/$10. Mrs Bairds whole grain white bread $1.49, L2/$10. And 100 count jumbo corn tortillas $1.00, L1/$10. They have good prices on most of their produce, so you could buy your produce, milk and other necessities to get the min $10 purchase. If you did all these deals, you’d get a ton of food for $30.
Meal ideas for the good deals at FoodArama: With the FoodArama deals, you have many of the ingredients to make king ranch chicken. Here’s a sample recipe that will give you an idea of the ingredients. I don’t love this recipe, so please comment if you have a better one. I have made it and love it, but don’t remember which recipe I used. You could also make Tortilla soup with many of these ingredients. If you roasted your chicken, then deboned and made your own broth (see this post for making broth), this would be so inexpensive and healthy.
Randall’s has the buy 5 get $5 off instantly deal again this week, but with different featured items. Honey Nut Cheerios are $2.50, and there is a coupon in 8/10/08 smart source section for $1 off 3. and $1 off 2 in the smart source 8/3/08 insert. Your total would be $12.50 less $5 less $2 = $5.50. That is $1.10 per box of cereal.
Randall’s also has 40% off the Betty crocker baked goods line. In the 8/10/08 smart source section there is a $.40 coupon for Betty Crocker cookie mix. The mix will be 40% off plus you’ll get the coupon doubled which is another $.80 off. They should be almost free, if not free. Keep in mind that Randall’s only doubles one of the same coupon per transaction. There are lots of other printable coupons for betty crocker if you check the coupon database at www.families.com.
Kroger’s has Angus ground chuck meat for $1.99 which is a very good price for this beef. They also have a promo running where you buy 15 and get $3 off. It includes pillsbury refrig items and there are usually great coupons for these. And Krogers triples coupons up to $.39 and doubles coupons $.40. They don’t double anything $1 or more. But they’ll triple/double three of like coupons per transaction. So this promo may be a good deal. They have their ad online if you want to see all the items on the promo.
HEB deals are fair this week, but nothing that motivates me to write.
Happy Shopping…
