Sunday Coupon Preview 7-16

If you haven't found http://www.sundaycouponpreview.com/ yet, visit the site and sign up for email alerts.  It tells you all of the coupons that are supposed to be in the paper each Sunday.  HOWEVER, coupon inserts vary by region and we might not get all of these in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.  Here are the ones I'm interested in:

Smart Source
Cheerios $1/2
Hamburger Helper $.75/3 (Save for Schnucks 10 for $10 sales!)
Huggies baby wipes ($.50/1)
             and diaper coupons ($1.50/1 and $3/1 60ct.+)
Kleenex $.50/3 (Save for Walgreens sales!)
Nature Valley $.75/2
Wilkinson Sword razors $2/1 (depending on the coupon restrictions, these could be a money maker! They are usually $1 in the travel section at Walmart. Stock up and donate!)
Tide $2/1
Sani-Hands $.50/1

Remember, to get the most out of your coupons and to spend the least amount of money, always purchase the smallest size item, and it's best if it's also on sale.

Also, if the coupon is $.50 or less, think about saving it for Schnucks.  Schnucks in Washington doubles up to 15 coupons per transaction up to $.50.  That way your $.50 coupons are now worth $1!

There is no Red Plum insert this week.  Remember you can also print from http://www.redplum.com/ and http://www.smartsource.com/.  Most of these coupons are compiled on http://www.couponmom.com/, but I have found that they are sometimes different, so check out all three sites!

Baby Food and more at Big Lots!

I went to Big Lots! today for baby food.  Yes, baby food.  I discovered a couple of weeks ago that they have baby food in their grocery section for $.25-$.30 each.  Their selection usually isn't great, but I usually can find something.  For example, two weeks ago, I bought ten jars of peas.  Last week it was 10 jars of green beans.  This week it was fruit.  My baby is in the "2nd" stage foods now, but the price was the same!

Other good buys at Big Lots! (available on a regular basis):
Pasta $.60 for 12 oz. box of shells, $.90-$1 for 16 oz. of other varieties
$1 for 1 lb. of white rice
Pop-Tarts 8ct. $1.50 (sometimes less, but watch for open boxes!!!)

This week only: Ritz crackers are in the "clearance" section for $.40-$1 per box.  The catch: They expire at the end of the month, but we really like Ritz, so I picked up some.

Aldi's July 10-16

This is the week for fresh fruit at Aldi!  Here's my shopping list:

Blueberries (pint) $.99
Plums, peaches, and nectarines $.19 each
Mangoes $.35 each
Strawberries (pound) $.89

And if you drink milk, it's $2.69-2.89 a gallon.

***I went to Aldi in Washington this afternoon, and they are limiting 2 pints of blueberries per customer per day.  I was very disappointed.

Fricks July 13-19 Ad

Wow!  It's a good week for meat at Fricks!  Here are the highlights from their ad and my shopping list:

Ground chuck $1.99/lb.
3 lb. frozen chicken breast (limit 2, must purchase $25 before coupons)
1 lb. Land O Frost lunchmeat 3.49 - $.55 Q (5/15 RP) = $2.94 each
7up 2-liters $.59 each
Best Choice ice cream (quart) $1.39
Best Choice wheat bread $.99
American Beauty pasta $.99
Old Orchard frozen juice concentrate 4/$5 - $1/4 Q here = $1 each
Romaine lettuce $1.29/head

Not many coupons to use this week at Fricks, but still some good deals.  Happy shopping!

About Me

I am a stay-at-home mom in Franklin County, Missouri.  I have been couponing for only a couple of months, but see a need for a blog highlighting deals for stores in Franklin County.  I will be posting about deals at Fricks, Schnucks, Walgreens, Finks (ALPS), and Aldi.  For more deals and information on the "chain stores," or how to start couponing, I recommend you visit:

http://www.couponstl.blogspot.com/ or

http://www.couponphenomenon.com/.

Mostly I will be posting my personal shopping lists for each of these stores, the coupons I plan to use, and where to find the coupon.
