Weekend Coupon Inserts

There will be no coupon inserts this weekend due to the holiday on Monday. It's sort-of liberating to have a week off! Watch for a Proctor & Gamble insert on June 6th. Looks like it will be a good sized insert. You might have seen commercials about this running throughout the day today. Happy Memorial Day Friends!

Coupons At Cub

I stopped by Cub Foods in Eden Prairie today and here are the coupons I picked up:

• Save $1 when you buy 1 package of Nabisco Cookies (4.05 oz-26 oz) and 1 gallon of milk. I found this peelie on a box of Nabisco cookies near the entrance to the store where they have all of the weekly specials. Expires 9/30/10 States Do Not Double (DND)
• FREE 2 liter of Mountain Dew when you purchase 1 Doritos (11.05oz-12oz) and a Tombstone Pizza. This tearpad was found in the frozen food section alongside the Tombstone pizzas. Expires 7/25/10
• Save $1 on bottled water (6 pack or larger, excludes flavored waters) when you purchase Two packages of these featured Keebler and/or Sunshine snack crackers: Cheez-It, Club, Toasteds, Town House, Wheatables and FlipSides. This tearpad was found near the crackers. Expires 8/15/10
• Save $1 on any (1) Honey Maid Grahams (14 oz. or larger) plus (1) Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallows (10 oz. or larger) AND (1) Hershey Milk Chocolate (6 pack). This tearpad was found near the display of these 3 products. DND
• Save $1on any (2) Popsicle products. I found this tearpad on the outside of the freezer case where the popsicles are located. POPSICLES WILL BE $1/BOX AT RAINBOW NEXT WEEK. GET SOME OF THESE NOW AND YOU WILL GET 2 FREE BOXES WITH EACH COUPON NEXT WEEK AT RAINBOW. I have extra of these so if any of my teacher friends at CR want some, contact me and I'll drop them off for you. Expires 7/31/10
• Snapple Rebate. Tearpad rebate form found next to the Snapple products. This is for a FULL rebate of the purchase price of any Snapple 6 pack (up to $6.99) with receipt dated between 5/1/- 7/7. Snapple at Cub is 2/$10.
• Kingsford Charcoal coupons. A coupon booklet peelie can be found on the charcoal display in the meat department. Save $3 when you purchase any (2) Kingsford or Kingsford Match Light Charcoal (6.7 lb. or larger) Save $1 when you purchase any Kingsford or Kingsford Match Light Charcoal (6.7 lb. or larger). Both expire 7/31/10.
• $5 off a 2 lb. bag of Arctic Shrimp 26-30 count. Click HERE to print this coupon. I was able to use the Arctic Shore $5 shrimp coupon today at the Cub Foods in EP. There isn't a 2lb package with 26-30 pieces in it, but there is a 1 lb package priced at $6.99. The manager was a little suspect about the coupon because there are no numbers under the barcode, but she keyed it in and accepted it. 2 1lb bags of shrimp for $1.99/ea is not bad! She said that someone else had recently been in and used the same coupon. No guarantees on how this one will be accepted, but it is from Cub corporate as the email clearly shows. Also, this coupon can be printed multiple times. It is not regulated like most other coupons are.
  

Of course I get these coupons at Cub Foods but I redeem almost all of them at Rainbow Foods on a Wednesday or Saturday. You can always get a better deal overall at Rainbow because of the double coupon opportunity.

Coupon Alert!

There are 3 Manufacturer's coupons in today's Parade Magazine:

Buy one Olay Total Effects Facial Moisturizer and get one Total Effects 7-in-one Anti-Aging Body Wash FREE (up to $7.99) excludes trial size
$1.00 off any 3 lb or larger Reser's Deli Salad (cole slaw, potato salad, macaroni salad)

There is a Manufacturer's Coupon in today's Jerry's Ad:
Save $2 when you buy (4) 12-packs or 24 oz 6-packs of any product of the coca-cola company. Expires 5-28. It has Jerry's logo on it, but is a Manufacturer's coupon.

FREE Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce at Rainbow Foods!
Clip the $1 off (2) 18 oz or (1) 28 oz. SBR BBQ sauce any flavor. These are on sale this week at Rainbow for $.99. Double on Wed. or Sat and get 2 for FREE! I'm reading on at least one blog that you can get one free this week at Cub Foods also, but that's not the case when you read the fine print on the coupon. You must buy 2 of the 18 oz to get the $1 off, so it's $.50 each if you use this coupon at Cub.

Rainbow Foods Update

Here are a few things to note about Rainbow Foods:

• Rainbow Foods Double Coupon Saturdays has been extended until July 30, 2010. That means you can double 5 coupons with a face value of up to $1 with a $25 order on Saturdays as well as on Wednesdays. This really gives options for our weekly shopping. I find that if I am working on Wed., then early Sat. morning is a great option. The Rainbow Foods in Eden Prairie is open from 6am-11pm, so I try to get there by 6:30am on Saturdays so I can shop in peace and hopefully still find some of the good deals!
• Rainbow Foods has extended their FuelPerkps program with BP through July 10th, 2010. At that time there will be changes to the program, but at the store level they don't know what those changes will be yet. If you have a choice of where to shop, Rainbow Foods is the best choice when you consider that not only do they double coupons but they also subsidize your gas purchases!
• The Rainbow Foods in Eden Prairie no longer accepts internet generated BOGO coupons. Because of coupon fraud they will deny these coupons at the register. They will accept the BOGO coupons from the inserts or magazines.

Where Have I Been?

I know, I haven't posted anything for almost a month now. We had an unexpected family situation come up which forced me to slow down and reconsider things. I really do enjoy blogging. I have missed it and thought about it many days during the past couple of weeks. The downside of blogging is that it is time-consuming. What I have decided to do is resume the blogging but commit to updating only a couple of times a week or when there is an opportunity to save on an item that would only take minutes to post. So. . . thanks for not giving up on The Grocery Tutor blog! I'm here and looking forward to bringing you more good deals!

Thanks!
