Shop 'n Save Deals: 9/8/09 - 9/12/09

$10 off $50 purchase on Thursday at every store!

Quite a bit of this weeks Shop 'n Save's ad is devoted to store brand/generic products. The prices of store brand products look good at initial glance, but when I stop and think of the price I pay for "real brands" when I pick them up on sale and have a coupon - I always pay less. Although, the .98 toilet paper looks enticing, but I have to remember the kids accused me of buying toilet paper worse than schools when I bought cheap toilet paper before.

I only highlight the best deals. Take a look at Shop 'n Save's full ads here.

Remember:
1. $10 off $50 purchase this Thursday.
2. Shop 'n Save does not double coupons.
3. Shop 'n Save accepts internet printable coupons up to 50% of the product retail price. Take a look at Shop 'n Save Internet Printable Coupon Acceptance Policy.
4. Thursday price - purchase right at $50 of items and save 20% before coupons.

If you haven't shopped at Aldi, or it has been a while:1. Make sure you have a quarter to unlock a shopping cart. The carts are like luggage carts at the airport. You rent them for a quarter, and you get your quarter back when you return the cart.
2. Take your own bags. Aldi does not provide free bags for your groceries.
3. Aldis now accepts debit cards.
4. Aldis does not accept coupons.

No Coupon Inserts this Sunday

Sunday 9/6/09

There is no coupon inserts schedules in this Sunday' newspapers due to the Labor Day weekend. Instead of the time you spend looking at the new coupons, spend the time doing a little organizing of the coupons you already have.

Have a great weekend!

Saved 82% This Week

I didn't have much time to shop this week, since we were out of town for a few days. I didn't even make it to a local grocery store except for Aldi. But I have started to take a cooler with me when I travel for those items I can't pass up. This trip, I brought home meatballs from Ikea in Minneapolis and pork from HyVee in Iowa.

Target

Can you tell my son got into the potato chips before I could take the picture?

Before coupon & sales: $77.32
Total spent: $0 - I put $1.57 on a giftcard from a previous week's deal.
Total saved: $77.32

Kmart

I love Kmart when they double coupons.

Before coupons & sales: $29.29
Total spent: $0
Total saved: $29.19 for 100%

HyVee and Ikea

The meatballs, cream gravy mix and lingonberry preserves are from Ikea. I even found a tearpad coupon! The pork is from my beloved HyVee.

Before coupons & sales: $42.39
Total spent: $23.36
Total saved: $19.03 for 45% savings

Aldi

I had very little I needed at Aldi this week. I wouldn't have made the extra trip for such little savings, but I always like to put Aldi's price check on my blog.

Comparable Schnucks price: $6.18
Aldi price: $4.93
Saved $1.25 for 20% savings

Walgreens - I didn't take a picture of my tube of Rembrant toothpaste. I needed to roll a $4 Register Reward, so I ran into Walgreens and picked up some Rembrant, used a $1 coupon and my Register Reward. $0 out of pocket, and now I have a $5 Register Reward for next week.

Weekly Totals
Before coupons & sales: $160.97
Total spent: $28.29
Total saved: $132.68 for 82% savings

Beer Rebate - $20 on Frozen Gourmet Pizza

Heineken has a new beer rebate available.

Get up to $20 my mail with the purchase of $25 of Gourmet Frozen Pizzas.

or Get up to $10 by mail with the purchase of $15 of Gourmet Frozen Pizzas.


No beer purchase required in Missouri or AL, AR, CT, HI, IN, KY, NC, NJ, OK, UT or WV.

Lots of readers have had questions about beer rebates. In Missouri, no beer purchase is ever required to qualify for a beer rebate; it must have something to do with state law. All you need to do is purchase the qualifying products, follow the instructions on the rebate and wait for your check. Beer rebates sound too good to be true, but they are for real!

Thanks, Shawn the Plumber for the heads up this rebate was available! Both Shawn and I found this rebate form at Shop 'n Save.

Try for FREE Blue Bunny - Aspen or Sedona Frozen Yogurt

Purchase any Blue Bunny Apen or Sedona Frozen Yogurt Granola Novelty over Labor Day weekend (September 5-7, 2009). Send in the rebate form found HERE to get it for FREE.

Dierbergs usually sells the Blue Bunny frozen yogurt treats for around $4.69. It's reported that some boxes has $1 peelies! If you find a peelie, it makes this deal better than free.

FREE Performance - Prodigal

September 3-5 and 10-12
Shakespeare Glenn in Forest Park

On six starry, late summer nights, an extraordinary retelling of an age-old tale will unfold in Forest Park. At the surface is a fully integrated art experience, embodied by original music, dynamic light, mise-en-scène and an ensemble of dancers. And at the core is a stirring reflection on the paradoxes of life.

Original work created and directed by Tom Brady, ANNONYArts consortium artist. Choreographed by Monica Newsam and Tom Brady.

Performances will begin at 8:30pm. It is advised to bring lawn chairs and blankets for seating.

Check out Prodigal's web site for more information.

Maybe I'm just out of the preforming arts loop, but I have not idea what this really is. I love the FREE Shakespeare festival held every year in Forest Park, so I'm excited to see what this FREE performance is.
