This Week's Sales

How can you spend the least amount on groceries?
Several things are key for me. I find these things are the most helpful.
1. Menu plan, every week
 2.Use the flyers and my price book to get the best possible deals
3. Have my list with me all week so if I happen to be in the area of the stores with the sales I can pop in and get what's on my list.(I just copy and paste this list of sales into a word pad, take out all my extra comments and print, feel free to do the same if it helps)
4. Try and combine coupons to lower prices of items I am already buying
5.Keep track all month of what I am spending and tally it at the end of the month
6. Use what I have(try to waste nothing)
This week it looks like there are some good deals! Combining these with Customer Appreciation Days(Safeway 10%, Extra Foods 10-15%, Save On 15%)could make for some great deals. My plan is to  see if I can use all my FPC at Safeway on Tuesday. 

Here's my FPC 's I have been saving for Safeway's 10% off day!

Zellers 2-8
Ajax 400g 2/$1
Carnation Milk 3/$4 less coupon $1



I have found that Extra Foods has quite a few deals so spending the $25 minimum should be no problem.

Extra Foods Mar 2-8
(Customer Appreciation Days Mar 5-6 10-15% off)
NN Perogies 2Kg $3.28(S means same price at Superstore)S
Rotini Pasta 1.8-2Kg $2.98 S
NN Oriental Noodles 24 pack $4.78 S
Soft Taco Kits $3.47 S(there are the $4 off meat coupons to go with this, last month I was able to get a small package of ground chicken for $4, therefore free!)
NN Oil 3L $4.98 S
NN TP 24 Dbls $7.98 S
Pineapples $1.96 S
Green Grapes $1.26/lb S
Asparagus $1.46/lb S
Mushrooms 454g $1.98 S
Supertore has the spend $250 get a $25 gift card.

Canadian Tire 2-8
Handi Foil 12' width 500 feet $7.97!!!! This is a screaming deal. I usually buy the huge one at Costco and the cheapest it goes is $16.79 for 650feet. It says sorry no rain checks so I have a feeling it will be all gone end of the day Friday.
Toilet paper I blogged about yesterday
The garbage bags seem to be a great deal 100 for $4.47, but I wonder about the strength anyone use them? I usually buy garbage bags at Costco.

Walmart 2-8
Tomatoes .77/lb
Campbell's Soup .50
Ital Pasta 900g $1
Mimute Maid Juices .57
Purex TP $5.47 12 Dbls use coupons if you have them. Superstore and Extra Foods tp is a better price.
10 pack of sports socks are $5.00(.50 a pair!)



Safeway 2-8
10% off March 6
The boneless skinless chicken breasts are on sale again. $2.99/lb or 4Kg for $26.36 limit 2(10% off makes them $23.72 or $2.70/lb)
Sugar is on 10Kg for $8.99(the last time there was a go deal was at Walmart and it worked out to .82/kg, so this is better)
At 10% off this works out to $8.09 for 10Kg.
So, if you only bought those 2 things you would be at the minimum of $35(actually $35.35). You would get $3.54 off making your grand total $31.81.



Lakeview Markets Feb 27-Mar 4
Cauliflowers .98 each(with coupon)PM(price match)at Walmart if it's closer for you.
They also have a coupon for the boneless skinless chicken breasts 4Kg $26.38 limit 2
Parkay Marg 1.36Kg bricks or 1.28kg soft $2.98(remember Walmart & Superstore will PM)
Green Cabbage 2lbs .98
WF Flour 10kg $6.98(I think Costco is still at $6.48)
Broccoli Crowns .98/lb
No idea why the second picture came in sideways!!!!!!!

i

Well, looks like some inexpensive tp if you got the celebration coupon! $3.99-$2.00=$1.99  for
the Royale Ultra.

The Royale facial tissue is 2 for $1.59 with the celebrations coupon it's .80 for 2.
Stamps are also on sale 5% off.

I don't know why this came in sideways! Anyways,
Zellers gives 10% off Feb 17-20 when you use\
their HBC Credit card.

Again why sideways!!! Wonder
bread is  $1.99 and there are
these recent coupons for .75 off.
Making this bread $1.24.(plus 10% off $1.12)

Not sideways...nice! Ragu sauce is $1.33(less 10% is
$1.20)

London Drugs has the Kotex U on again.
You can stack with those same 2 coupons
that are about to expire this week. Again,
they would be .99 a package plus you get a
free Kleenex auto pack 24s(value up to $1.99).
Not sure if I will brave this one. Suffice it to say
my first attempt at coupon stacking was not
seamless! I did do it and I got my chocolate, but
not all in one trip and not without a few phone calls
and some angst! Not sure if I want to do it again!
Hats off to all of you regular coupon stackers!!!!

Lakeview Market has a few deals. Zucchini
is .58/lb( Old Town has it for .49/lb)
Tomatoes are .88/lb.(Quality Greens has Romas
for .79/lb)

They often do coupons in the weekly paper and they can be good deals. I
especially like when they do $1 off milk!

50% off one item at ZellersI

Zellers is offering a 50% off one item coupon.

You can print it by clicking here (Zellers has removed all coupon links, but if you have already printed it you can use it still but only on regularly priced items, not things on sale) It is good until Dec 31, 2011. 

I bought this crockpot when my last one died at Value Village. As you can see it cost $9.99. Now, a slow cooker is supposed to cook...slowly, right? This one only knows turbo cook and so has been VERY challenging ! I decided that with my 50% off coupon I would buy a crock pot. I have had bad experiences with Hamilton Beach crocks(brand new ) and so I didn't see any point in getting one of those. Then I saw the Crock pot brand crock pot and thought, surely this one will work well! So, the original price was $39.99 and I got $20.00 off. A little while ago I got a notice from my HBC credit card saying  they were changing banks and if I would verify my identity they would give me $10 on my January statement. So, that makes this brand new crock pot $10,plus taxes and enviro fee.
What are you needing???

This week's sales..hmmm, summer in the Okanagan is BUSY! There are beaches to visit often, company to hang out with, and so much more! It's hard to fit a little blogging in! In the summer I find I tend to frequent the fresh fruit and veggie stands and use what I have in my freezer(as I already mentioned)as grocery prices are higher at this time of year.
