It’s still a work in progress, but it’s a start. If you’re familiar with my lists, I pretty much limit them to under a buck or two. Since I don’t get Red Plum circulars, I’m probably missing a bunch of good deals. Good luck shopping – we have several days ahead of us.
Bloom Matchup List for 10/7-10/13
I made it to Bloom today. Got some really good deals, and some okay ones.
Here’s what $21.61 bought me:
Considering the toilet paper was $11 of that, not a bad deal for the food.
My favorite deals:
Oscar Mayer Bacon (BOGO) reg 5.49 use coupon (08-30-09 SS) for $1.50/2 (doubled to $3), final price $2.49/2 = $1.25 each.
Oreida Taters (assorted) sale 4/$9, use coupon (09-27-09 SS) for $1.50/2 (doubled to $3),
final price $1.50/2 = .75 each
Edwards singles on sale $2.49, use coupon (08-30-09 SS) for $1/1, final price .49 each
Del Monte Fruit Chillers on sale for $2.25, use coupon (RedPlum.com) for $1/1, final price .25 each
Monterey Tornados on sale for $2 each, use coupon (08-02-09 SS and 10-04-09 SS) for $1/1, final price FREE
Red Baron Fire Baked Pizza, on sale for $3.99, use coupon (08-02-09 SS) for $1/1, final price $1.99 each (this is a full-size frozen pizza, not a small one)
Success Rice, small box, regular price $1.79, use coupon (RedPlum.com) for $1/1, final price FREE
More to come… this sale lasts thru Tuesday.
It was a very late trip. By the time I had all my coupons sorted, it was 11:35… Farm Fresh closes at midnight. Good thing I know my way around the store. Plus the guys that stock the shelves are always helpful.
My total was only $8.53. (The EVOO was $5.39 of that.)
For some reason, I thought Bloom was open 24 hours. Not! They closed at midnight too. I’ll head there in the morning. There are some dynamite deals; I’ll post details once I verify prices and all.
I’m off to the store (late, I know) to first head to Farm Fresh to use the amazing list of matchups for Farm Fresh that Lori at The Coupon Consultant put together.
Then I’m heading over to Bloom. Mostly with my high value coupons from the last super doubles. I found a few other coupons online that match up to some sales. It’s really tough to do a decent list for Bloom without being able to check prices, and they are managing to keep their couponing events under wraps well enough that the normal couponing goddesses over at Hot Coupon World aren’t even making lists.
High on my list for Farm Fresh is Nestlé cookie dough for $0.50 with coupon and the mix&match deal
When you’re baking and something spills in the oven and starts to smoke up the house, the ideal solution is to turn off the oven, let it cool, and get it cleaned up. But what if you’re having company and must get the food cooked… or worse yet, in the middle of cooking a thanksgiving turkey?
Baking Soda to the Rescue!Just grab your handy box of baking soda. Open the oven, remove the food so you have access and won’t risk getting baking soda on it. Then carefully, and liberally, sprinkle baking soda over the spill. Don’t be stingy, baking soda is very inexpensive. Once the spill is covered with baking soda you can adjust your food so nothing more spills and put it back in the oven. In the case of a pie, it should really be on a baking sheet. The baking soda will keep the spilled food from further burning and stop the smoke.
Again, be careful!
