Deals for Week of 11/7-11/13

Did you remember to turn your clocks back?!  I know that we will appreciate the extra hour of sleep around here.  Here are the best deals I found this week at Coborn's.  Don't forget to use your Penny Pincher Coupon Book.  Those coupons expire on Saturday, Nov 13th.

The big promotion this week is with several Pillsbury baking and other breakfast type items.  Buy 10 advertised products and get $5.00 off instantly from 11/7-11/13.  Fortunately, there are some great manufacturer coupons in this Sunday's newspaper (Red Plum) to pair with this deal!  My favorite is deal is the 29¢ brownie mixes!  Often with the Red Plum coupons, the coupons are also posted online, so check back for updates.

Happy Coborn's Shopping!

Apology

I am so sorry you guys...I totally blew it on this week's coupon matchups.  And what a week to miss!  I hope to still find time to do it but I can't make any promises as of now.  I was hoping to go to the store, browse the aisles, look at my coupons and come up with some good scenarios, but this week is just getting away from me.  I know that's no excuse and hope you'll stick with me anyway.

I appreciate your comments and will do a quick post about what other's have been finding during this special double-coupon week!

Double Up to 10 Coupons This Week at Coborn's!

Coborn's is doubling up to 10 manufacturer's coupons with a value of $1.00 or lower this week!  There is no minimum purchase and you may still combine store coupons.

As an example -
50¢ coupon = $1.00 doubled
75¢ coupon = $1.50 doubled
$1.00 coupon = $2.00 doubled

This should provide for some great deals this week, even on unadvertised items.

I will be posting some coupon match-ups later on today, along with the weekly deals. Stay tuned!

Catalina Deal to Pair with Penny Pincher Coupon

I just got back from Coborn's and had a very successful trip!  My total before coupons and sale prices was $97.47 and after sale prices and coupons, it came to $50.85 or a 49% savings.  Not bad!

I did want to let you guys know that a bonus Catalina coupon printed out with my order for buying Cottonelle toilet paper.  Wahoo!  If you buy 2 packages, you get a Catalina coupon for $2.00 off your next order.  Since the item was $4.97 with the Penny Pincher coupon, there are $0.50 mftg coupons out there, and then another $1.00 off per package with the Catalina, it brings it down to $3.72 for a 12-double roll package which seems like a pretty good deal to me for a name-brand product.

If you buy 3 packages, you get a $3.00 Catalina coupon, but the Penny Pincher coupon limit is 2.

This just started today (10/8) and goes through 10/22.

Deals for Week of 10/3-10/9

Hi Everyone!

Again, my apologizes for being absent the last few weeks.  I hope you've been able to find some deals without me!  :)

A couple of things before I list the weekly match-ups...

This week's in-ad coupon "Meal Deal" is the following:
Purchase one 14-16 oz package of Land O'Frost Premium Lunchmeat (not sure of cost) and receive:
* 24 oz loaf of Coborn's commercially baked white brad
* 10.75 oz Food Club Tomato Soup
* 11.5-12 oz Food Club Potato Chips
Save up to $6.37!

The major promotion this week features General Mills products.  There is an in-ad coupon for $6.00 off instantly when you buy any 10 of the advertised General Mills products.  This coupon appears to be a store coupon so you should be able to stack manufacturer's coupons on top of it to come up with some great deals!  Basically you will get $0.60 off each item as long as you buy 10 items.

General Mills Coupon Book found at Coborn's

I found a new coupon book with General Mills manufacturer coupons at the Albertville Coborn's on the counter under where the weekly ad is posted.  I thought this had some decent coupons with higher value than is typically found in the Sunday newspaper or online printables.

It is called "Better at Home - Eat at Home for Less" and says "Save up to $15 Now" on the cover.

The coupons include ~  (I've bolded my favorites)

$1.00/1 Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal (no size restriction)
$1.00/2 Pillsbury Refrigerated Sweet Rolls
$1.00/3 Old El Paso Products (use to score cheap taco seasoning)

Let us know if you score any good deals with these coupons.  Keep in mind you can use at any store, not just Coborn's, since they are manufacturer coupons.

Earn a Free Holiday Turkey

When stopping by Coborn's the other day, I noticed that the "Earn a Free Holiday Turkey" punch-card is back!  I believe you get a stamp with every $10 purchased and after you earn so many stamps, you can redeem it for a free turkey.  I will try & find out the details of how much you need to spend.  I have never been able to get to the amount needed, but I always start a card anyway just in case.

The completed card needs to be redeemed by December 2, 2010.

Let us know if you're able to score a free turkey this holiday season!

New Penny Pincher Coupon Book

By now, I hope you've received your Coborn's Penny Pincher Coupon Book in the mail and got some fabulous deals!  I realize there's only a couple of days left in this promotion, but hopefully a shopping trip is on your agenda in the next couple of days and you can take advantage of some of the penny pincher coupons.  I haven't went yet but I am putting it on my to-do list as there are a couple great bargains!
