Shoppers Food Warehouse: $10/$50 purchase coupon in this week's circular!

On the front of this week's Shoppers Food Warehouse circular, there is a $10/$50 purchase coupon.  It could make for some sweet deals if you work the coupons and sales right!

Valid 11/4-11/7.  

The fine print states these exclusions:
alcohol, film processing, gift cards and certificates, lottery, money orders, pharmacy products, stamps, sales tax and tobacco.

Shoppers Food Warehouse Coupon Mania Update!

Thanks to our readers who have written in with deals they've found at the double/triple coupon event at Shoppers Food Warehouse this week!

Neither A. nor I have made it there yet, and I haven't even gone through my coupons. Yikes! You can bet I'll be doing so today in preparation for a weekend trip. In the meantime, check out our readers' comments here for ideas on the cheapies & freebies. I could use some cheap tortillas to make a round of breakfast burritos!

Capitally Frugal has a great list of coupon matchups, so check that out!

Shoppers Food Warehouse: Double/Triple Manufacturers' Coupons!

I was pleasantly surprised to see this morning that Shoppers Food Warehouse is doing 8 full days of coupon tripling & doubling. It has been a long time since they've done this, and you can bet I'll be culling through stacks and stacks of uncut coupons to find some deals.

Here we go!
8 FULL DAYS - Wed., Aug. 18th through Wed., Aug. 25th

DOUBLE Manufacturers' Coupons up to $1.00 - please limit four(4) identical manufacturers' coupons. No other restrictions apply.

TRIPLE Manufacturers' Coupons up to $.50 - please limit four(4) identical manufacturers' coupons. No other restrictions apply.

Stay tuned!

Double Ad Wednesday At Shopper's Food Warehouse = One Day for Two Weeks' Worth of Specials!

SWEET! Now every Wednesday at Shopper's Food Warehouse you can shop the first day of this week's circular as well as the final day of last week's circular, all on the same day!

FishMama just talked about grocery stores that do this in her July 17 post, and I'm glad now that there's one in our neck of the woods that will be doing it. I know for sure now that any Shopper's trips I plan will try for Wednesdays!

2 lbs. Strawberries, 2 lbs. Bananas, ALL for $3 Total at Shopper's Food Warehouse This Week!

I noticed at the top of the coming week's deals in the Shopper's Food Warehouse Ad:

FREE 2 lbs. Dole bananas instantly when you buy two (2) 1 lb. containers of Dole strawberries @ 2/$3.

Sounds like an unbeatable deal on those to me! Who's up for some smoothies?

Shopper's Coupon Booklet Spotted in Local Paper - Includes Freebies and Cheapies This Week!

I'm not sure if this also appeared in the Washington Post (as I only have our local paper here for reference), but Shopper's Food Warehouse issued a coupon booklet with store coupons resulting in some pretty sweet savings. Judging by the wording (Limit one (1) coupon per household), I'm fairly sure that you cannot combine these coupons with manufacturer coupons, but there are still some good deals, including a freebie!

Here are some of the best coupons that I saw in the booklet, good 06/09/10-06/16/10:

• Coca-Cola 20-packs, $3.99 (Equivalent 12-pack price would be $2.39, or $0.19/can - not too shabby)
  Limit One 20-pack
  
  
• Post Cereals, 11-20 oz. box, selected varieties, $0.99
  Limit 2 boxes per coupon
  
  
• FREE Betty Crocker Frosting with coupon
  Limit one package per coupon when you buy a Betty Crocker Cake Mix (thanks, Amy!!!)
  Note: You could use a Betty Crocker Cake Mix coupon, probably, if you have one.
  The 05/02 SmartSource has a coupon for $0.75 off a cake mix and frosting both, which would double to $1.50 off, but my instincts say that this may not play with the Shopper's coupon because it says one coupon per household.
  
  
• Stone Ridge Creamery Real Ice Cream, $1.49/ea.
  Limit one carton per coupon
  
  
• Banquet Meals, 2/$1
  Limit 2 packages per coupon
  
  
• Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon Club Pack (36 oz. total), $3.99 (Save $3 off retail)
  Limit one per coupon
  
  
• Athena Canteloupes, $0.99/ea. ($2 saved off retail)
  Limit one per coupon
  
  
• Tomatoes on the vine, $0.99/lb. (Save $0.70/lb.)
  Limit 2 lbs. per coupon
  
  
• Smithfield cooked deli ham (deli dept.), $1.99/lb. (Save $2/lb.)
  Limit 2 lbs. per coupon
  
  
• 8 pieces Fried Chicken, $3.99 (Save $3 off retail)
  Limit one 8-piece per coupon
  
  
• 24-ct. baked fresh cookies, $1.99 ($2 off retail)
  Limit one 24-ct. per coupon
  
  
• Colgate Toothpaste, 6.4 oz., $0.99 (Save $1.60 off retail)
  Limit one package per coupon
  
  
• Doritos Tortilla Chips, 11.75-12.5 oz. bag, $0.99
  Limit one bag per coupon

And here are some BOGO deals with coupon:

• USDA Choice, Boneless Beef Top Round London Broil
  Limit one free family pack per coupon
  
  
• USDA Choice, Boneless Beef Tenderloin
  Limit one free tenderloin per coupon
  
  
• All Natural, Boneless Chicken Thighs
  Limit one free family pack per coupon
  
  
• Smithfield Boneless Whole Pork Tenderloin
  Limit one free tenderloin per coupon
  
  
• Bananas, normally $0.55/lb.
  Limit one free pound per coupon
  Note: A large bunch of bananas runs around 3 lbs., give or take, so be careful with this one! It's not buy one bunch, get one free; it's buy one pound, get one free, so you might meet your two pound savings limit in a single bunch.

Some other non-store-coupon deals listed in the booklet:

• 64 oz. bottle White House Apple Juice, $0.99/ea.
• Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Canada Dry, or 7-Up 6-pack, 4/$10
• Split with ribs chicken breast, $1.69/lb.
• Crab Classic Imitation Crab Meat, BOGO
  $1/1 coupon here, not sure if you'll be able to print two as often SS printables limit 1
• Edge or Skintimate Shave Gel, 2/$3
• Suave Body Wash, 2/$3
  $0.50/1, 05/23 RP
  Final price: $0.50!

Shopper's Double/Triples Updated Already - With Many $1 Bricks Printable Coupons

Go to the original Shopper's matchups post here to see a long list that I've just added of some existing $1 bricks coupons which may yield some good deals. Haven't had a chance to print/check them yet myself, but thought they'd come in handy for those of you planning trips tomorrow. :)

Shopper's Food Warehouse Double/Triple Coupons 04/22 through 04/25, Master Matchups List

First things first: Unfinished Mom Sharon noted in a comment that her ad (and her Eldersburg Maryland store, upon calling) indicated no doubles/triples, so unfortunately it looks as though Shopper's is doing "select stores" only again. Thanks, Sharon, for letting us know! If your ad shows no indicator of doubling or tripling, we advise that you call ahead before investing your sweat in having your coupons prepped.

OK, ladies and gents, here we go.

• Coupons $0.50 and under triple.
• Coupons $0.51-$1 double.
• Please limit yourselves to four (4) identical coupons. No other restrictions apply.
• The promotion runs from Thursday, April 22 through Sunday, April 25.
• Printable coupons are accepted. Shopper's Food Warehouse everyday coupon-doubling policy says "SHOPPERS will double the value of valid manufacturers’ coupons with a face-value of up to 99¢ (example: 25¢ = 50¢, 50¢ = $1.00, 75¢ = $1.50.) Valid manufacturers’ coupons with a face-value of $1.00 or greater will be redeemed at face-value only (example: $1.00 = $1.00, $1.50 = $1.50, $2.00 = $2.00.)" Ergo "up to $1.00" wording advertised in the ad for the promo should include $1.00-valued coupons, non?
  
  Note that the Internet coupon policy has been clarified to read: "SHOPPERS will accept valid manufacturers’ coupons obtained from the internet with a face-value up to $1.00. Internet coupons with a face value of $1.01 or above or FREE offers will not be accepted."

We'll start with matchups from ad's sale prices, generally progressing front to back. I'm focusing more on super-cheap or free deals. (That is, $2 off a $13 jug of detergent probably won't be posted...) I will bold cheapies and freebies, so scan the list with your eyes for the highlights.

As I have out-of-town company at our house this weekend, it may be a few days before I even get to Shopper's this time around (if at all, knock on wood...). SO - that said, if you make it to Shopper's before me, which is almost certain, be sure to stop by and post a comment with the deals you scooped!

Shopper's Food Warehouse Double/Triple Coupons Master Matchups List

OK, Ladies and Gents, here's the deal:

March 18 - March 21, many regional Shopper's locations are doing double and triple coupons.

Coupons valued at $0.00-$0.50 triple, and coupons valued at $0.51-$1.00 double.

Limit 4 identical coupons per transaction.

Gina asked a great question in a comment: In essence, what does "Up to $1.00" mean - are $1-valued coupons included? I say very likely - as the Shopper's Food Warehouse everyday coupon-doubling policy says "SHOPPERS will double the value of valid manufacturers’ coupons with a face-value of up to 99¢ (example: 25¢ = 50¢, 50¢ = $1.00, 75¢ = $1.50.) Valid manufacturers’ coupons with a face-value of $1.00 or greater will be redeemed at face-value only (example: $1.00 = $1.00, $1.50 = $1.50, $2.00 = $2.00.)" Ergo "up to $1.00" should include $1.00-valued coupons, non?

Note that the Internet coupon policy has been clarified to read: "SHOPPERS will accept valid manufacturers’ coupons obtained from the internet with a face-value up to $1.00. Internet coupons with a face value of $1.01 or above or FREE offers will not be accepted."

Come back to this master matchups post to see this master list of matchups grow over the next couple of days. Reader emails/comments with matchups will be added to this list, so let us know of your hot finds!

I'll start with the Shopper's Ad listings, with priority given to freebies and "cheapies" (~$0.50 or less). In other words, I won't be prioritizing items like a $0.30 coupon for a $7 jug of detergent given the time constraints. Expect a freebies and cheapies summary post late Saturday or early Sunday so that you can do a last blitz or two before the doubling and tripling ends.

Reader Jenny emailed us these cheapers after her trip to the Olney Shopper's (thanks!!):

The Betty Crocker frosting is indeed $1.69, so with a .50 coupon tripled was .19.

I also got Marcal napkins ($2.39)--with a $1.00 coupon doubled, the price was .39.

Polaner All Fruit is $2.39, so with my $1.00 coupon, it was only .39.

I got Mission tortillas ($2.19) for .19 with my $1.00 coupon.

Also, Promise buttery spread was $2.69, making it .69 with a $1.00 coupon.

I bought Eggland's eggs ($2.99) for 1.49 with my tripled .50 coupon.

Gina of Moneywise Moms documented her trip, and with her permission (thanks, Gina!) we excerpt her matchups:

• Dole Canned Pineapple was $1.00/can, so I used a $1.00/3 coupon (1/24) which doubled, making them only .33 each.
• Reach Dental Floss was $1.50, so the doubled $1.00 off coupon (3/7) made it FREE.
• Scotch Brite Sponges were $1.09 each, and I had a $1.00/2 coupon (3/7) which doubled, making them only .09 each.
• Act II Microwave Popcorn was marked for clearance at $1.45, so the .40 off coupon (2/28) tripled, making it only .25.
• Reese's Dark Chocolate was .79, so the .55 off coupon (3/14) made it FREE.
• Crest Kids' Toothbrush was $2.50, so with the doubled $1.00 off coupon (2/7), it was .50.
• Oral-B Stages Toothpaste was $2.49, so the doubled $1.00 off coupon (2/7) made it .49.
• Sure Deodorant was marked for clearance at $2.20, so the doubled $1.00 off coupon (2/28) made it .20.
• Dixie Napkins were $2.99 and I had $1.00/2 coupons (1/24), not fantastic but a lot less expensive than usual. Plus, I can get $5 back via mail-in rebate when I buy $20 of participating Georgia-Pacific products.

And now for $0.50 coupons out there which could make good deals when tripled:

$0.50/1 6 roll+ Quilted Northern, 03/14 RP

Shoppers: Triple/Double Coupons today through March 21!

Reader M tipped us off that Shoppers Food Warehouse is offering a coupon promotion this weekend. Thanks!


We're caught unawares since no advertising has been done, but we do plan to post coupon matchups as soon as we can.


As you can see from the banner, here are the details:
Double manufacturers' coupons up to $1.00, limit 4 identical coupons
Triple manufacturers' coupons up to $.50, limit 4 identical coupons

Stay tuned for more deal ideas and matchups. Can we get a whoop whoop?

Coupon Doubling/Tripling at Select Shopper's Food Warehouses, Now through Wednesday 02/10.

Laura at Frugal Friends has the news on what's up at select Shopper's Food Warehouses this weekend (according to the ad, not mine...unfortunately!) through Wednesday 02/10. Rumor has it that coupon doubling/tripling may occur at at least one other Shopper's location in the immediate future (as in: next weekend), so we will keep our eyes out for details in the ads.

And...if you have managed to make it to a SFW for double/triple coupons this weekend...my hat is off to you! That's some couponing dedication. Me? I'd be willing to investigate at a participating Shopper's after a snowplow visits us, which may not be until the promo's almost over, unfortunately! In the meantime, I'm going to try to brush up my coupon file so that if I do get a chance to get out, I'm ready to go.

The Food Bank Challenge: Ideas for This Week on How to Stretch $10 to Donate

Gina of Moneywise Moms has started a Food Bank Challenge in the past week! She's challenging us (that would be couponers and generous-hearted folks in general) to see how far $10 of our monthly food budget can go for donation to a local food bank or charity. (Check out our post on finding your local food bank!) Gina has a fabulous Mr. Linky to get us in the collaborative spirit, too, where you can share your blog's Food Bank Challenge entry.

When I saw this challenge, my first thought was, "Ack, I just donated a couple of boxes' worth of stuff last week!" I wish that I had taken pictures. :) But that shouldn't stop me from getting another box started.

If you're up for the challenge, but aren't sure where to begin, check out this pretty painless scenario, with a Thanksgiving theme.

Head to Target, and spend:

• $1.60 for 8 cans of Del Monte vegetables, using one Target coupon and one 11/15 insert coupon (Thanks, Christy!) Make a couple of them green beans - your recipients could make green bean casserole with the next two ingredients!

Then make one other trip, to Giant:

• $3.50 for four cans of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup (buying these four will also net a $0.10 gas discount all week)
• $1.99 or less for one can of French's French Fried onions
• $2 for two bags of Stacy's Pita Chips (these are normally much more expensive!)
• $0.92 for one jar of Heinz gravy (normally ~$2.50/jar!)

===========================================
Subtotal pre-tax: $10.01
Value of items to be donated: ~$18

OK, so I went a penny over on the spending - but I think we're going for the spirit of the law here. :)

This isn't the result of a gung-ho shopping excursion - it's a stripped down sample run to show you how easy donating $10 spent on food can be. You don't have to do extra trips to Shopper's triple coupons to make a sizeable donation set (that might have been last week's aforementioned donation, heh) - and you don't need a huge supply of inserts, either. So are you up for it? See the latest on the Food Bank Challenge here!

Works for Me Wednesday: Scouring Budget Nooks and Crannies for Christmas Gifting

It's Wednesday - time for another "Works for Me!" tip, inspired by the blog carnival/series at We are THAT Family. Check out this week's carnival here.

November and December take a bite out of almost everybody's budget. The great thing that I am discovering this year, though, is how to scour the nooks and crannies of my budget for little ways that the discounts can add up. It's the product of continuously honed awareness of sales, bulk discounts, rewards systems, couponing, and elbow grease that add up to free or heavily discounted Christmas gifting.

Here's one example: My parents use a Keurig K-Cup machine. They also happen to really like Gloria Jean's Hazelnut coffee.

***

Watch the nooks and crannies add up through four stacked discounts:

1. For select products, Amazon has a new frustration-free packaging that is more earth-friendly, and cheaper, too! The Gloria Jean's Hazelnut K-Cups in the frustration-free packaging are much cheaper per unit ($0.42/cup) than the regular retail-style-packaged Gloria Jean's Hazelnut K-Cups that Amazon sells ($0.47/cup).

2. Subscribe and Save on the frustration-free package makes the deal sweeter, bringing the per-cup price down from $0.42/cup to $0.36/cup. The great part about Subscribe and Save is that it can be cancelled at any time.

3. I recently redeemed some Swagbucks for a couple of $5 Amazon.com gift cards that will go to this. I just went from paying $17.85 for the Subscribe and Save package to $7.85 out of pocket. Find out how to get started searching via Swagbucks as your search engine - and earning rewards like Amazon gift cards!*

4. I took a jar full of pennies that we've long collected to my Giant's Coinstar machine, where I redeemed them for a Amazon.com gift certificate number printed on the receipt. If you trade change for cash back, you are charged a fee, but if you trade change for a gift certificate from any number of popular retailers, you will receive all of your money back on the certificate. Gina also highlighted a Coinstar deal, through December 6, where you can get $10 extra sent to you by gift card when you trade in $40 or more in coins for a gift certificate.

In my case, a spaghetti sauce jar full of pennies (and just one each of a rogue nickel, quarter, and dime) came to $10.03 Amazon.com credit total! That just more than paid for the rest of the 50 K-Cups. Locate your local Coinstar machines here.

***

I'm sure that you can see where I'm going here. K-Cups normally retail around $10 for a 16-18 ct. in many stores ($0.55/cup or more), so assuming that I had bought three packs retail, I would have spent $30 to get my parents around 50 Gloria Jean's Hazelnut K-Cups. Using my above "budget scouring" shopping tactics, I covered 50 K-cups - one of their main presents - for free!

I'm going to add some other special treats to these K-Cups - like a couple of tins of the Petite Pirouette Pepperidge Farm cookies that I bought for $1.35/tin at Shopper's triple coupons - to create an overflowing "party hosting" package. For the parents who have everything, a package of yummy consumables makes a pretty practical Christmas gift - for just a few dollars out of pocket.

How are you scouring the nooks and crannies of your budget to pay for Christmas gifts this year? How many discounts can you stack on just one deal?

Shopper's Triple Coupons Run #2

This morning I did run #2 at Shopper's Food Warehouse's Triple Coupons. I saved 66%, lower than my usual discount when working Shopper's deals, but was also because I'm focusing more than ususal on buying some convenience and frozen foods because of my baby being due in a few weeks. I could have easily left the store with a cartful of only freebies - and in fact, many of the freebies I pick up in these sales are donated. Click here for resources on finding your local food bank to make a difference to families in need this holiday season.

I received a $1 Catalina for having bought Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice - I picked up 4 boxes FREE after $0.75 coupon, but I'm not sure what the Catalina terms were. Either way I have $1 to spend on my next Shopper's trip. :)

Here are some fun matchups I used that I haven't already typed up from last Thursday's trip or that readers and fellow bloggers haven't already added to the master list of Shopper's Food Warehouse triple coupon matchups:

Minute Rice microwavable 2-packs brown rice, $2.39
I love these for quick and healthy lunch additions.
(Note: you can also pick up the smaller-sized box of Minute Rice for $2.29 retail)
$0.50/1, 10/04 SS
Final price: $0.89 for a two-pack

Kellogg's Cinnabon bars, $2.99
$0.55/1, 11/08 RP
Final price: $1.34 for a 6-ct. box

Uncle Ben's Long Grain Wild Rice, various flavors, $2.19
$0.75/1, 11/08 RP
Final price: FREE! (+ Catalina, as mentioned above!)

Chock Full'o'Nuts Coffee, $3.69

Final price: $1.44

Argo Baking Powder, $1.59

HOT Catalina Deal at Shopper's Food Warehouse: Buy $30 Worth, Get $15 in Catalinas! --and Shopper's Official Printable Coupon Acceptance Policy!

Whoa, Nelly! Gina of Moneywise Moms found a HOT hidden Shopper's Food Warehouse Catalina deal - spend $30 on participating products, get $15 worth of Catalina coupons good off your next Shopper's purchase. She worked this deal to the max - starting with just a hair over $30, bringing it down to about $11 with tripled manufacturer coupons, and leaving with $15 in Catalinas. Work it, girl.

Note: Reader Trisha also posted some useful info in a comment on this deal. THANKS!

Just a few thoughts on this deal:

1. Be very careful to buy only the items written in the fine print on the front of the ad. Not all of the pictured items are part of the promotion.

2. If you buy 2 wishbone in one transaction, a $1.50 OYNO Catalina prints out. It turns the transaction into even more of a moneymaker.

3. On one of my transactions today, it took a long time (maybe 3-4 minutes) after I paid, for my catalinas to print. I had already gone to customer service for help, when the bagger tracked me down and gave me my coupons.

Happy tripling!

Read more and learn from Gina's finesse! In the meantime we are posting the matchups that she found on our growing master listing of Shopper's Food Warehouse triple coupon matchups, with Gina's permission. (Thanks again!) Many other savvy shoppers have posted comments with matchups of their own, which have also been included in this master list, so go check it out!

Also, Gina's post alerted us to something critical: it would appear that the Shopper's Food Warehouse official Internet printable coupon acceptance policy has been greatly clarified from its previous wording. It now reads:

Internet Coupon Policy

SHOPPERS will accept valid manufacturers’ coupons obtained from the internet with a face-value up to $1.00. Internet coupons with a face value of $1.01 or above or FREE offers will not be accepted. Coupons must contain valid redemption information to be honored. SHOPPERS reserves the right to refuse any coupon deemed to be fraudulent and the right to change or terminate this policy at any time.

...so, if you are wanting to try Internet printables at Shopper's again, be sure to bring this stated policy printed out from the Shopper's web page.

5 Reasons to Visit Giant This Week, 11/6-11/12

I'm not sure if the tripler coupons that are in the ad I'm using appear regionwide - I had picked up a copy of the Post and it ended up having a Giant ad relevant to the Leesburg store grand reopening (and associated specials), and so have a hunch that these triplers may be only in the Leesburg store ads. If anybody wants to comment with whether or not their Giant ad had triplers, please go ahead and do so! If they turn out to be regionwide, I'll put time into tripler matchups.

Also, since Shopper's Food Warehouse is doing triple coupons through next Wednesday 11/11 with far less limits and parameters, we recommend that you check out that listing as well.

Here are the top five reasons to check out Giant this week:

1. BOGO sale on Birds Eye Steamfresh Vegetables
   $1/2, $0.50/1, 10/18 SS
   Use two of the $0.50/1 coupons (since you're buying two), which should double to $1 off each
   Final price: $2 off the price of one Steamfresh, for two!
   
   
2. Deal: Get a FREE gallon of milk when you purchase any 3 General Mills cereals with your Giant card! Purchase 5 General Mills cereals and get 2 FREE gallons of milk.
   General Mills Cereal coupon: $1/2 (09/27 SS), $1/3, (10/04 GM and 10/18 SS)
   Listed at 2/$5:
   Honey Nut Cheerios, 12.25 oz. $1/2, 11/01 SS
   Cheerios, 8.9 oz., $1/2, 11/01 SS, $0.55/1, coupons.com
   Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs, 13 oz.

First Shopper's Food Warehouse Run - 70% Saved!

(Click above to see larger.)

Ohhhh it was a good trip to Shopper's Food Warehouse this morning. I actually got brave and did my first run using the Shopper's self checkout. I've been comfortable using the Giant one, but each self-checkout system is quirky in its own way, so I'd been hesitant to clog the self-checkouts at Shopper's with tons of coupons. This morning, though, the clogging was at the service checkouts, so I decided to go for it! I'd say it was a good experience. A few pointers:

• If you have any coupons whose tripled total is more than the value of the product, save those 'till last - because like me, you will probably need to ask the self-checkout monitor to process those himself/herself. In my case, I had 6 of these, so it wasn't a big deal. However, if you have a TON of coupons for freebies (with overage?), you might be better off going through the service checkout.
  
  
• Go s-l-o-w-l-y when scanning coupons, and after you've scanned the coupon, be sure to wait until the machine's done gabbing through its, "50 cents savings, 50 cents savings, 50 cents savings," tripled coupon spiel before you put the coupon in the coupon receptacle slot. Be very slow and deliberate about putting your coupon in - you are most likely to register with the machine as having submitted the coupon this way.
