Albertsons Double Kraft Catalina Promo !

2009-08-13T11:51:00.000-07:00

I was at Albies today to do a Kraft FREE food promo. I had bought 10 of the Velveeta Shells & Cheese cups as part of the promo. They are 10/$10.....

I used (5) $1/2 Blinkies from a while back, I hear there are still BOGO's floating out there.

Sad to say I used all my coupons and at checkout received a Cat notice stating :

Starting tomorrow 8/14-9/7 Buy 2 or more Velveeta Cups you get a $1 ONYO !!

So if I would've waited until tomorrow I would have got the $5 Kraft Cat, plus (5) $1 Velveeta Cats plus the $20 Rebate!

This could be a big MM if you have the coupons!!

Good Luck, let me know how you do:-0

Remember a while back when all the wonderful Kraft printable's were available? Well thankfully I saved my Starbucks $1 coupons that expires 8/31!!

Here is what my scenario will look like:

4 Bags Starbucks Coffee $27.96
-(4) $1 IP ( I had printed a few off of my neighbors computer)
-$5 Cat from previous promo
OOP: $18.96 and I will receive a $5 Cat and a $20 Rebate Coupon

Now I may decide to wait until Sunday to see if there will be doubles. Plus I still have $20 in Cats from the previous promo. I don't think I want to use all of them for just the coffee, we will see.

**Happy shopping! Have a great week, leave a comment with the great scenario you came up with**

Buying Clearance Meat

2009-08-09T17:43:00.000-07:00

I was at Albertsons today to stock up on some Lipton Tea, apart of the Buy $30 get $15 promo, and get some produce and meat.

Well they had a great selection of clearance meat to choose from! Ending today they have Jennio-O Turkey products on BOGO

I found 4 Jennio-O Italian Turkey Brats with $2 clearance sticker on each package*!*
They were $4.99 each after bogo and clearance stickers I paid $1.98 for 4 packages!!
I stuck them in my freezer for later. I will use them to make spaghetti and lasagna and use them to flavor up some dull scrambled eggs:-)

I also found Wild Harvest Organic Lamb Chops and Shanks on clearance. Ranging between $.23 for a package to $1.53 Yes most of these will go to feed my dog ( he is on a raw natural diet ) but some of the good big ones will be for us.

These are some great finds to stock up on while you can. The sale by date was tomorrow and freeze well.

My total OOP for 7 packages of Lamb Chops and
4 packages of Jenni-O Turkey Brats was $8.39!

**Just another great way to stretch your buck **

Do you need a license to sell your stockpile??

2009-06-22T14:12:00.000-07:00

I was having coffee with my father on Saturday and telling him how I missed out on selling my stockpile at the Happy Valley garage sales, he then pointed something out to me that I have never thought of before:

*Do you need a business license or a license from the city if your intent is to resale your brand new items you just bought? *
Even if it's at a garage sale my father pointed out that it could be considered (your garage) a store especially if you buy the items we usually get for free with the purpose of re-selling them to make some $$.
After discussing this with him we both came up with an answer of this is something that is a gray area. My intent is not to resell all of my stock, but yes I know I can resell it if I want to. I feel I am being honest in what I do and forthcoming to the people who buy my stuff.

So my question to all you readers, what do you think about this? I think it is worth a call to the city ( I plan on making later) just to make sure I'm not breaking any laws. I want to give all my readers and viewers honest information, so that is why I'm throwing this question out to everyone!

Please do leave a comment with your ideas on it:-)

Thanks!

Heather
