New Penny Pincher Coupon Book!!

Yippee!  I was pleased to find a new Penny Pincher coupon book in today's mail.  There are various coupons that are good at all Coborn's locations from 4/29-5/8/10.  If you didn't get one of these, you can ask at your store but it has been my experience that they don't have any extras.  However, if you don't receive these at your home, ask at the Customer Service counter to put your name on a mailing list to receive them.  I did that and ever since then, I have been receiving them!

Here is a complete list of all coupons - and good news - included are brand-name products meaning you can stack manufacturer coupons with them to score even better deals.  I will list any coupon matchups after the item.

I'm happy that they included some brand-name items to combine with coupons but I don't think the coupons are as good as they have been in the past.  There's not many match-ups either. That said, I'll still be clipping a bunch of these!  Let me know if you do, too!


Other sale items, of notable mention, listed in the ad include:

Food Club Graham Crackers $2.00
Food Club Marshmallows (10 oz) 88¢
Top Care Health & Beauty Products - Buy 1 Get 1 Free (Excludes Baby Products)
Wine - 20% off 3 or more bottles (in Coborn's Liquor locations) (Excludes sale items)

Deals for Week of 4/25-5/1

I'm somewhat of a broken-record, but I'm not very excited about the deals this week.  If you have the $2/1 All detergent coupon, that is an excellent price for laundry detergent, but I am unsure that this coupon was in our area papers.  

Please be gentle with me; I'm still new here!  I'd love to know what you think.  I may be revising this post or adding more items as the week goes on.

Old El Paso Products - I wasn't sure where to put this as it covers a few different categories.  There is a Catalina deal running at Coborn's for Old El Paso products from 4/19-5/16.  There are a few products advertised in the weekly flyer, so you may be able to put together some decent deals.  I think the taco seasoning packets are 4/$3 or 75 cents each.  Unfortunately, I don't think there are currently any coupons available for these products.


Here's the scoop on the Catalina promotion:



Purchase any Old El Paso taco shells, dinner kits, seasoning, refried beans or heat and serve side dishes and receive a coupon on your next purchase of beef or chicken.

• Buy 3 products, get a $1.00 off coupon
• Buy 6 products get a $3.00 off coupon

If you bought 6 taco season packets @ 75¢ each, you would be spending $4.50 and get a $3.00 off beef/chicken coupon for your next order.  This works out to be 25¢ per packet of taco seasoning when factoring in the coupon that you will get for meat you'd (probably) be purchasing anyway.  Let me know if you find any manufacturer's coupons out there to make this deal sweeter!

Deals for Week of 4/18-4/24

While there seems to be some decent prices on produce - adverised as their half-off sale, it's another yawn-filled week at Coborn's.  I think we may be taking a trip there this morning since we only need a few things, and our store is so close.  I do like having Coborn's nearby, and there are some good deals to be had from time-to-time, but honestly ~ we don't complete the majority of our shopping here.

Please be gentle with me; I'm still new here!  I'd love to know what you think.  I may be revising this post or adding more items as the week goes on.
