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.

There are quite a few stackable coupons on coupons.com right now. I'll try to detail out a few good buys below.

Some of the best buys I see are:

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)
$1.00/1 Total Cereals (select varieties)
$1.00/2 Pillsbury Frozen Grands Biscuits or Cinnamon Rolls
$1.00/3 Progressive Soups

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!

These are all store coupons and can be paired with manufacturer coupons.  They expire on 10/9/2010 (Saturday).
