Frugal Friday - Couple Good Deals

This week I found that the sales were kind of scarce, which is surprising considering that it is a long weekend, and the long weekend that usually signals the last hurray of summer! Not that you would know it in Southern California with this heatwave, but that is another story!

Albertsons - Totino's Pizza Rolls $1 (there are lots of coupons out there for $0.40 - 0.50)
(a very rare and special treat, bought only at this price with coupons, so many 4 times a year)

Vons/Pavilions - Electrosol Tabs/Gel Packs (qty 20) $3, and this becomes a good sale if your store is doubling coupons and you have one of the $1 floating around then it becomes $1 for 20 washes!

Still at Vons and Pavilions is the Horizon Organic milk (HorizonOrganic.com) on for $3.50 (regular 3.99) and Dawn Direct Foam on for $2.50 (regular 3.79) To explain why these two are such a good deal, can I just show you my receipt?

$3.50 Milk - Half Gallon Horizon Organic Whole Milk
-$1.00 coupon printed from Horizon's web site (can print 2)
-$1.00 (my store doubles)
$2.50 Dawn Direct Foam
-$2.oo Coupon from paper
-$1.00 coupon double (not limited at the max value of the item)
-$0.40 10% grand opening bonus discount
$0.10 tax

$0.70 Total!

We did this deal twice in addition to my regular shopping where I picked up a third milk. Please excuse me while I do a happy dance because milk is SO expensive! (Usually the best I can do is at Costco where I can get 2 gallons of no fat milk for $5.39 and 2 gallons of whole milk for $6.39)

Even if your Pavilions/Vons is not doing the 10% back, a lot are currently offering the double coupons while they update older stores, $1.10 for milk and Dawn Direct Foam are not bad!

If you do the CVS Extrabucks and Walgreens Register Rewards there are deals to be had too, but Crystal already mentioned those! Although if you were planning on doing the rebate on Nexcare band aids at Walgreens for $5 this is a good week to do it as they are on sale 3 for $10 plus there are coupons out there that expire 8/31)
