Anyone Want Some Cheese? - Vons


So I went to Vons last night and got a whole lot of cheese!


You guys can come pick some up in the next few days.  The rest is going to the Food Bank.

Kraft Deli Delicious Slices are on sale for $2.99 but when you buy 5 they are $1.99 each! Then you get a $5 Catalina which makes them $0.99 each!  I happened to find a bunch marked down 50% even though they don't expire until Sept. 14th!  That makes them freeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

So this was what I got and the coupons I used:

17 - Kraft Deli Swiss Cheese - Available - Used (5) $1/1 Coupons Here to make 5 free!
9 - Kraft Deli Cheddar Cheese - Available
2 - Kraft Deli Havarti Cheese - Mine!
2 - Kraft Deli Delicious American Cheese - Mine!
6 - Yoplait Yogurts! On sale for $0.50 each and used $0.40/6 coupon Here and $0.40/6 coupon Here to make them $0.36 each!
2 - Tostitos ($1.99) and a free jar of dip ($3.69) with coupon on chip display.
36 pack of string cheese for $7.99
2 - Tyson breaded chicken ($7.99) each and BOGO free! Used $1/1 Coupon Here = $3.50 each!
1 - breaded fish product and 5 birdseye vegetable $2 off coupon Here and Got 5 Mixed Veg for $1 each and a $4.99 pack of Fish
2 - Turkey hot dogs in the old meat area for only $1.00 each
1 - Turkey bacon
2 - Lemons
1 - Bunch of green onions

Total in 7 Transactions = $25.10 for $185.68 worth of stuff!!!

On a side note, Vons has a two coupon for same item in same transaction rule so you may need to get a manager's approval to get the cheese deal.  Also I saved all the $5 Catalinas and used them on the last big order to get the discount.  The cheese purchases I actually made money on when you see I got the Catalina back.

First Post - Savemart deals, over tomorrow!

Hey all.  I was unable to find a couponing site devoted to the Central Valley so I decided to make one :p

At Savemart right now they have a special on Kellogg's products for $2.77 each with $10 instantly taken off at checkout and a $10 Catalina coupon after you pay. Effectively making each item $0.77!

$2.77 * 10 = 27.70 - $10 instant =$17.70 - $10 Catalina = $7.70 net!
add on coupons located at www.kelloggs.com and you are paying between $2.70 and $3.90 for 10 Kellogg's items!  Which is only $0.27 or $0.39 each!

You can up the ante even further with the Kellogg's Coupon book found on the display near the front of the store (Clinton and Brawley). Filled with additional coupons that stack with the previous ones mentioned for additional savings.

More to come later after I get home!
