Hey Guys,

I am not sure about all the Albertsons that were bought out by Publix, but the one at the corner of West Bay and Indian Rocks Rd started its liquidation today with 20% off Everything.  I will be going later today andan going to  stock up on some non-perishables like peanut butter, cleaning agents, laundry detergent and the like.

Let me know if your Albertsons in your area is on the same path.

This is a good article on how to save on back to school supplies.

I am sure most of you are aware of this, but I thought I’d mention it just in case. I have a family of 6, so our food bills are quite high. One thing we have found to save money on is breakfast. With 4 boys, who always seem to be hungry, a substantial breakfast is important. We started buying cream of wheat and grits. ALL of our boys love these. With a little sugar and butter and a piece of toast, we are set. And, it fills them up so I don’t hear “I’m hungry” 30 minutes later. We’ve had a box of cream of wheat last us for a couple of weeks now, and for the price I paid, it has been well worth it! 

What are some of your families money saving meals?

I guess since some of the Albertsons have been bought by Publix, Winn-Dixie has decided to try to capture some of their loyal customers. We received a flyer in the mail (so I don’t know who will receive it) with 2 coupons for $5 off purchase of $40 or more. Annd 2 coupons for $2 of 8 piece chicken. They also made sure to note that they are running BOGO free offers and 10 for $10 deals. For those of us who are upset by this buyout, this may soften the blow a little. The coupons are good for consecutive weeks ending 8/12.

Publix sales: Doritos BOGO Free, Fresh Express Salad BOGO Free, JIF peanut butter BOGO Free, Kelloggs cereals BOGO Free, Nutrigrain Bars BOGO Free, 93% Fat Free hmburger – $2.99/lb, Coupon for Coke- Buy 3 get one FREE, Go Gurt 2 for $3, coupon for $5 off when you buy 5 or more SC Johnson household cleaning products.

Again, remember that we have the links to all the grocery flyers on the community links page.

Walgreens has some good deals for back to school. Most require the coupon in the flyer. folders $.05, mechanical pencils – $.05, composition books -$.05, highlighters – $.05. They also have their backpacks buy 1 get one free (ones priced 19.99). I did this last year and they did last through the entire year (although quite worn and battered). 

These sales run through Sat. 26th. Check with your child’s school for supply lists.

Check out all the current flyers right from our Community Links page. Here are a few highlights.

Albertsons is running the Buy 1 get 2 Free on their petite sirloins. They are also having many 10 for 10 deals and great General Mills deals at 4 for $10. I did my shopping today and saved just shy of $70! Not too shabby.

Michaels is also running their dollar days sales. Lots of goodies for a dollar or less. They also have two coupons, one for 50% off custom framing and 40% off any regular item. 

Happy Shopping!

I just got a $843.00 refund check from my insurance company. I was hesitant at first, but the money back guarantee on their wind inspections kicked me over the edge. Better in my pocket than my insurance companies!!!
