Giant Eagle 3/11 to 3/17

I didn't get my Giant Eagle ad this week, and I feel kind of handicapped without it, even though I can get the ad online. It's not the same. See a list of deals here.

Also, Cherry Picker tells you how to get a $1 McCormick coupon here.  This isn't commonly known, but these coupons work for the seasoning envelopes that start as low as $1 or so- such as taco seasoning, etc. making them free or very cheap after a coupon.  At least they have worked in the past for me. I am going to try them out at my next Giant Eagle trip to see if they still do. If they do not, I will let you know.  ***I did not end up buying these. The lowest prices were $1.09 and $1.19, and I am hoping to hang on to the coupons for the next few weeks in hopes they have a $1 sale, which they do sometimes.***

***I recently found out that if you take your own reusable bags to the Middlefield Giant Eagle, you get 5 cents credit PER BAG. I tried it at the Giant Eagle on 45 below Champion, and they didn't do it there, so it may be just be up to individual stores. If you find other Giant Eagles that do this, let me know, as well as any other local stores that give credit for bringing your own bags.***

Preview of Giant Eagle Deals starting 1/21

update: Not the greatest week ever at Giant Eagle. I didn't see any other deals I especially wanted to point out. Go here to see if any of them interest you.

I haven't gotten all the deals together yet, but here are a couple that stood out to me, especially since they are potential money-makers!

Pillsbury
Get $4 off your next shopping trip when you purchase any 6 of the following in one transaction:

Pillsbury Grands!jr
Golden Layers
Grands
Cinnamon Rolls

Buy 6 for $6 (or $1 each)
There are quite a few coupons from the Sunday papers for Pillsbury products
Printables are at coupons.com -the highest value is $1 off 2 cinnamon rolls. You can also get $.30 off 2 Grands biscuits
smartsource also has some, but it's not working for me just now :(
pillsbury also has coupons, including a $1 off 2 Grands biscuits
~sometimes there are even higher value printables floating around- I'll let you know if I find any.

here is a $1 off 1 printable to try. It says I have already printed it, so I can't be sure it works, but it would make the deals here even better!
So the best deal I see is to use buy 6 cinnamon rolls and/or Grands biscuits for $6. Use 3- $1 off 2 coupons.  Your total would be $3, and you'd get a $4 catalina for your next purchase.
-up to $1 money maker (more than that with the $1 printable)   page 6

P &G products
$5 off your next shopping trip when you buy any 4 of the following:

there are various coupons from the P&G coupon inserts, or use coupons from HomeMade Simple book. If you've never gotten one, go here to register for a book with over $35 savings. It won't help this week's deals, but it has been very useful to me in the past, and will again be useful this week.

If you have gotten the book, here's what you can do:
Buy 2 Mr. Clean Sprays for $5. Use (2) 75 cent coupons (doubled) and save $3 = $2 out of pocket
Buy 2 Mr. Clean pourables for $5. Use (2) 75 cent coupons (doubled) and pay $2 out of pocket

My Giant Eagle Trip

Today I went to Giant Eagle for the last day of this week's sale. Before I went, I made a list of everything I wanted to buy, collected the appropriate coupons, and figured out how much it was going to cost. I like to get within 50 cents, so at the register, I am tipped off immediately if it's not very close to what it what I had in mind. I also picked up a couple items I didn't have figured into the total. Like the lonely bag of rice chips on the clearance table for $1.49- I knew I had a one dollar coupon, so I dug that out- for 49 cents, I would try something new. I thought I double-checked my coupons before I checked out, and I knew my total was supposed to be about $14 plus tax for a couple non-food items. So when my total came to well over $15, I was a little surprised, but I had watched her ringing up everything, and it all looked right.

This is where the crazy coupon lady comes in! I went out to the car, checked my receipt meticulously, then discovered the coupon for the rice chips in my purse! No wonder my total was high! I had put in a couple coupons that I didn't actually use, so I had thrown them into my purse before I got to the cash register, and the coupon I needed accidentally went in, too. :( Oh well, $1 won't put us in the poor house, I guess!

I had 2 freebies today, right up front- 2 bags of Birdseye Steamfresh vegetables for $1 each, minus (2) 50 cent coupons, doubled. The 50 cent Birdseye coupon is usually in the papers about once a month, and GE often runs the $1 sale about that often, too. The other freebie was the 4 containers of Quaker Oats I mentioned yesterday.

I had a money maker today, too. I paid $6 for 2 Glade candles. There had been a coupon to save $3 off 2. I paid $3 out-of-pocket, and got not one, but two catalinas- $3 off my next shopping trip thanks to Glade, and $2 thanks to SC Johnson, the company that makes Glade. So I made $2 buying them, plus I get to submit my receipt for a $5 rebate when you buy 3 Johnson products.   I only have to buy one more item to meet those requirements. I'll try to post the link for those rebates yet today- they go really well with some sweet sales/coupons deals. ***just noticed on my catalina that you can get the $3 catalina until the 24th of this month, even though today is the last day for the $2 one. So it's still might make for free candles, depending on the price,  if you have the 11/22 Smartsource coupon for $3 off 2 Glade products. esp. when paired with the rebate. Go here for more details***

My shopping trip today wasn't the most thrifty ever. I was stocking up on yogurt again. Per ounce, yogurt isn't extremely cheap, but my daughter loves it so much. She is never happier than if she can have cereal and yogurt for breakfast. I also bought 2 boxes of cold cereal for $1.50 each. I know some couponers won't buy cereal unless they can get it for $1 or less, but $1.50 is about the best I can ever do around here. Maybe it's the area? Does anyone know how to get cereal for less than that on a regular basis? I would love to know how and where!

The rest of my purchases weren't anything newsworthy ;)

I'll try to post the Giant Eagle deals starting tomorrow as soon as I can. Stay tuned!

A Giant Eagle freebie

***Just a quick bit of information, these are the smaller containers of oats, not the regular large size. I don't know if that makes a difference to you or not. I got them free, so it didn't matter to me***

Want some free or cheap oats? Buy Quaker Quick or Old Fashioned Oats- 4 for $6 (1.50 ea). Get $2 off when you buy 4, equals 4 for $4 or $1 each. Here are links for $1 off each. IE  and firefox. You can print 2 per computer, so if you have 2 computers, you can print 4 and get them free! Otherwise, they are 50 cents each.  This deal is running from January 7-20.
