Good deals at Farmer's this week!

Farmer's has a few sales worth mentioning.

Hamburger Helper is on sale 10/10. There have been several coupons in the papers the last month for .75 off 3. Remember that Farmer's will double up to one dollar, so the coupon becomes 1.00 off 3, so you get them 3 for $2, or .67 each.

Green Giant frozen boxed vegetables are on sale 10/10 as well, and with a .60 off 3 coupon, which doubles to 1.00, you can get the same deal as the HH, .67 each.

Hunt's spaghetti sauce is 10/10, and the Ragu is still 1.25, which is a really good buy if you have a coupon. I used one ;ast week for .75 off of two, which doubled to 1.00, so I got two for 1.50, making them .75 cents each.

Select Dawn dish soup is 1.99, and with a .50 off coupon, it is only 1.00 when doubled.

Progresso soup is 4/5, and there are several 1.00 off 4 coupons on http://www.bettycrocker.com/, http://www.progresso,com/, and www.coupons.com , making them 1 each.

Last week, I received a $10 off your next purchase coupon for buying select General Mills products, which is still going on this week, but the GM products aren't on as good of a sale. Remember, that the way to really get the best deals is to match the coupons with the sales to maximize savings. I can save my GM coupons for another day and save more money.

There may be some good deals on meat, but I am not a good judge on that. Check out the full Farmer's ad at http://www.farmersfoods.com/.

Here is what I got from Farmer's this week:
6 Hamburger Helper boxes (2  .75 off 3 coupons, doubled to 1.00 off)
6 Green Giant vegetables (2 .60 off 3 coupons, doubled to 1.00 off)
4 Progresso soup (1 off 4 coupons)
2 Dawn liquid soap (2 .50 off coupons, which doubled to1.00)
2 Pillsbury cookie dough packages (.50 off coupon on the cookie dough, doubled to 1.00)
2 La Creme coffee creamer (I had a BOGO coupon)

I also used my 10 off coupon, making my purchase $10.47.

The other 14 dollars of my shopping trip came from the Cottonelle from Walgreens ($12 for 4, using Walgreens coupons, manufacturer coupons, and RR), and the four 2-liters of Pepsi Max from CVS (2.00 total, .99 each, used two 1.00 off two coupons from the Pepsi insert on 10/2)


Also, in an earlier blog, I said that there was a Farmer's in Danville. There ISN'T, but there is one in Martinsville. There is also a Kroger, about two minutes away from the Farmer's. Too far for my SoBo peeps to drive, but if you live in Danville, and there were good sales at both Kroger and Farmer's, it may be worth the drive.

And a final note, Farmer's will no longer accept internet coupons (such as those printed off of coupons.com) for amounts over 1.00. This is not a huge blow because most food coupons are under 1.00 anyway.

Happy shopping!
