POWERADE!

For those of you who love sports drinks, Smith's has a GREAT price on Powerade this week. It is on sale for $.25! To get this price you need to purchase in sets of 8, and can only buy a max of 120 at a time. You do not have to purchase them in different transactions, the drinks are $.75, but are part of the March to Savings event where if you buy 8 participating products you get $4.00 off instantly at checkout. So they ring up as $.75 each and then you just wait as the computer takes off $4.00 for every eight. 120 powerades comes out to just under $32.00!

POST CEREAL SALE!

I want to pass along a great deal that is happening at Albertson's this week. It will only work until Sunday, so don't wait to long to do your shopping.

Albertson's has some of their post cereal on sale for $1.59 a box (Honey Bunches of Oats; Fruity Pebbles; Honeycomb; Golden Crisp; and Raisen Bran) Well, there is a Catalina that runs from 2/26-3/21 (Sunday)
Where if you buy four boxes you get a $3.00 good on your next shopping trip coupon that will print at checkout;
buy Five or more and you get a $4.00 coupon on your next shopping trip that will print at checkout;

So, you will do best to buy your cereal in groups of five

Buy 5 boxes of cereal = $7.95 plus tax
Get back a $4.00 Catalina
(about $.79 a box when considering the $4.00 coupon)

You can then turn around and do the transaction again only this time

Buy 5 boxes of cereal = 7.95 plus tax
Use the $4.00 catalina = 3.95 plus tax out of pocket cost
get a $4.00 catalina back

If you head on over to A Thrifty Mom http://athriftymom.com/2010/03/post-cereal-sale-starts-march-17th/ she has some scenarios listed using doublers and coupons (which we did not get here in Idaho, but you can order on ebay or other coupon clipping sites)

Just remember that the Catalina only runs through the 21st, so don't wait to long!

Thanks http://athriftymom.com/ for the information!

March Madness Instant Win Game!

If you head on over to http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145783 at Pinching Your Pennies, there is a list of stores with links that are participating in a March Madness Instant win game. You click on the store of your choice (Kroger, Smith's, Fred Meyer, etc.) It will take you to a page where after you have registered or signed in (I did Smith's and it just had me sign into my Smith's account) You get to play an instant win game. I won free Oscar Meyer Hot Dogs! The coupon gets loaded onto your card to use the next time you shop! You can enter every day through March, but can only win 2 instant prizes, however, everytime after that you can be entered into their Grand Prize drawing.

Thanks Deweyville @ Pinching Your Pennies!
