Top Foods Trip 9/29 - Cheap Philadelphia Cream Cheese

Lately I haven't been doing that many impressive coupon shops, or I forget to blog about them. Also I've just been buying stuff at Costco. For example, stock up price on Odwalla juices - $13.99 for 10 minus $4.00 Costco coupon makes them only $1.00 each!

Anyway, today I did go to Top Foods because I have not seen a decent sale on cream cheese in ages.

$6.28 out of pocket

  • 4 Philadelphia cream cheese: $2.49 each
    • Part of buy 3 save $3 promo: -$3.00
    • Used two $1/2 coupons: -$2.00
  • Organic carrots: $0.99
  • Darigold yogurt: $0.33
  • = $6.28 out of pocket

QFC Trip 9/18 - Stock-up Deal on Raspberries

Through Tuesday, Driscoll's Raspberries are only $1.25 each! For 6 ounces! I stopped into QFC today and they had plenty but it was around 11 a.m. The stocker said they did sell out earlier in the week. There is a $.50 off coupon here, but I didn't bother. I picked up six containers but the woman next to me grabbed 12. They freeze well!


QFC also had Odwalla juices buy one get one free (BOGO) so I picked up two for a total of $2.99. I'm not sure how long that sale lasts but probably at least through Tuesday. And there is a $.55 off coupon for Odwalla in today's Smart Source! I forgot to clip that first so I will be going back for more.
