5 Reasons to Visit Giant This Week, 09/25-10/01

OOOOooooowwweeeee, I was excited to see some BOGO deals in the Giant ad for this coming week!

These deals are shared as part of this week's Be CentsAble Grocery Gathering.

Top Five Reasons to Visit Giant This Week

1. Philadelphia Cream Cheese (8 oz. bar) is BOGO. In my Giant, there was a small coupon booklet at the front of the store, near the produce entrance. There was an elaborate display of baking items (chocolate chips, corn syrup, etc.), and this booklet of manufacturer coupons was presented on the display. One of the coupons was for $1.25 off the purchase of any three items - including Philly Cream Cheese. SO, if you pick up a couple of these booklets, and 6 cream cheeses, you will save $2.50 off the price of three, for six packages. I don't buy Philly regularly enough to know what it should cost (at least until this coming week!), but if it's normally $3/package, this scenario would give you 6 packs for $6.50 - and during the holiday season, $0.50-$1.50/package is a typical sale/coupon price. Also, its shelf life is pretty long, so you could consider this a cream cheese stockup.
   
   
2. Ragu Pasta sauce is BOGO.
   $0.60/2 printable here.
   Was also $0.60/2 in the 08/02 paper RP; could expire as soon as 09/27.
   Priced normally around $2.60/jar.
   Final after automatically doubled coupon: $0.70/jar.
   
   
3. Veggies! After a couple of sparse weeks in terms of produce loss-leaders, we have a good assortment of veggies available at lower prices:
   $1.77/bag for Giant European Salads and Dole Salad Blends. Salads are normally $2.50-$3/bag, so this is a deal. Look closely in your salad section for a Dole blinkie (these are often up in my Giant's salad section).
   $1.77/lb. for tomatoes on the vine.
   $1.77/lb. for fresh asparagus - this time of year, too! Otherwise it retails about $3/lb. so you are getting a good deal on asparagus with this. Try it roasted with wasabi (mmm!) or make some asparagus soup.
   
   
4. Deal: Buy Hormel Natural Choice Lunchmeat and get 1 free Nature's Promise Sandwich bread. I've tried this bread before and I like it!
   $0.55/1 printable Hormel Natural Choice coupon here; will likely double automatically.
   Final price: likely $2-$3 for lunch meat and a loaf of bread - yay! Cheap lunches abound!
   
   
5. Dannon Yoghurt cups, 20/$8.
   Coupons:
   $0.60/6 or $1/10, 08/16 SS, or 09/13 insert
   Lowest possible price: 6 for $1.20, or $0.20/cup
