GREAT DEAL ON SAM'S CLUB MEMBERSHIP + FREE CHICKEN

Have you been wanting to join Sam's Club, but just couldn't justify paying $45+ for the membership fee. I enjoy my membership, but only join when I can get a special deal like this one. It offers the same perks as the regular priced membership. I think my favorite things about Sam's are the gas prices and the cheese prices.

Well, today is your chance to get the membership for less than half-price, after rewards. Groupon is offering the regular membership for just $25 today, plus you get a $5 egift card and a free Rotisserie chicken. If you prefer a 'Plus' membership, normally $100, they are offering that for just $45. This offer is valid for new members only. Also, if you are a former member, your membership must have been up more than 6 months before October 11, 2016.

If you are not a member of Groupon, go HERE now to sign up for free.

MY SHORT, BUT AMAZING PUBLIX TRIP

I went shopping at Publix yesterday, expecting them to be out of the Kibbles & Bits, since it was such an amazing deal this week. A raincheck would have been fine, but their shelf was full. With the $3 coupons that were put out last week, this was an amazing deal. It was such a great deal, that I only paid .74 for everything in this picture, and that includes tax!  I normally post my pre-tax totals, because in most cases you still have to pay the same amount in tax. But, as you can see, my pre-tax total was a negative 0.14. If I had purchased this at regular price, I would have paid $46.70 plus tax. That means that I saved $46.84, which is 100% of the regular price, and then some!

The dog food was on BOGO at $4.89. With $3-off coupons, that created an overage of $1.11 for each 2 bags that I bought. That covered the tax and all but .74 of the rest of my bill. Of course, I had coupons for the JD Biscuits and the Klondike Bars, too.

If you printed those Kibbles & Bits coupons, now is the time to use them. This sale ends tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on your area.

TOMATO SAUCE FOR 0.14

I've been meaning to let you guys know about this for a while now. Food Lion has 6 days left of their 'Quarter Back' Promotion. This is something they normally do once or twice a year. For every store brand product that you buy, in increments of 4, you will receive a coupon for .25 back. In other words, for every 4 store brand products that you buy, you will receive $1.

This is a great time to stock up on the less expensive items that we need every day. I normally stock up on cat food and tomato sauce. Well, I kept forgetting to go to Food Lion when I was grocery shopping, until this week. And since I've been getting so many great deals on Sheba cat food lately, I really don't need that right now. However, my tomato sauce was down to just a couple of cans. So I bought 24 cans @ .39 each. I also picked up 2 boxes of table salt for .49 each and 2 cans of chili beans for .72 each. My total was $11.78 and I got a coupon for $7.00. I think maybe I'll make a list hit this sale once more before it ends on October 11.

AWESOME PRICE ON PORK LOINS

This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, Bi-Lo is offering their whole boneless pork loins for just $1.58 per pound. That's a great deal! If you prefer beef, they will have T-Bone steaks for just $4.99 per pound. Another great deal!

FREE DOG FOOD AT PUBLIX

This is a deal that I have never seen before. Beginning Wednesday, October 5, or Thursday, October 6, depending on when your Publix new ad starts, you can get the 3.5 lb bags of Kibbles & Bits Dog Food for free. Beginning with the new ad, it will be BOGO at around $4.89. Coupons.com has just posted a coupon for $3 off 3 lbs or larger. Actually, there are 2 coupons for the same amount. Hurry and click HERE to print yours before they are all gone.

This deal is valid 10/5 - 10/11 or 10/6 - 10/12, depending on your area.

4 BOXES OF CEREAL FOR .88 OR FREE AT PUBLIX

UPDATE:  I DID THIS DEAL TODAY. THE CHEERIOS IN MY STORE WERE A LITTLE HIGHER. I PAID A TOTAL OF $1.84 FOR THE 4 BOXES OF CEREAL. AND I WILL GET $1.50 BACK FROM SAVINGSTAR, MAKING MY FINAL COST 0.34.

Publix is currently offering GM Cheerios BOGO at $3.88. There is also a store coupon to make this a sweeter deal. Here's the deal:

General Mills Cheerios, 17 or 18 oz, BOGO $3.88
Tiny Toast Cereal, $4.19

-FREE Tiny Toast Cereal, 11.1 oz, wyb (1) Cheerios, 11.25 oz or larger Grocery Advantage Buy Flyer “Fall Savings” In-Ad Publix Coupon or printable (valid 9/10 to 9/30)
-$1/2 General Mills Big G Cereals:Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Chex, Lucky Charms Printable
-$1/1 Tiny Toast Cereal, 09/11 SS (exp 10/22)
-$1/1 Tiny Toast Cereal Printable
-$1/1 Tiny Toast Cereal (Ibotta Deposit) [Any variety; Any size]
-50/1 Yellow Box Cheerios, Savingstar
-$1/1 Tiny Toast, Savingstar 

To clarify:
Buy 2 boxes of Cheerios and 2 boxes of Tiny Toast Cereals. Use the store coupon to make the Tiny Toast free. However, you can still use two $1 Tiny Toast coupons and the $1/2 General Mills coupon. This brings the price down to .88. You can then claim the $1 rebate for Tiny Toast on Ibotta. Also, If you participate in Savingstar, you can claim a .50 rebate if you buy one box of regular Cheerios and a $1 rebate for the Tiny Toast. Those cash back offers would make this deal a $1.62 moneymaker. 


Get four boxes of cereal for .88 or FREE if you participate in Ibotta and/or Savingstar.

This deal ends on 9/27 or 9/28, depending on when your Publix's new ad starts.

AWESOME BI-LO TRIP THIS WEEK

Although it's too late to get these deals, I thought that I would share with you my amazing shopping trip. I really hit the jackpot with my pork purchase this week.

I found the boneless pork loins for just $1.67 per pound and the ground pork was BOGO @ $5.99 per one-pound package. And, these 2 package had $2 off store coupons on them, making them just $1 each. So I got a 3 1/2 pound pork roast, about 20 boneless pork chops, and 2 pounds of ground pork for less than $18.00.

In addition, I bought
2 Simply Potatoes @ 2/$1.89
Asparagus @ $2.76
VO 5 Shampoo and Conditioner @ 2/$0.64
2 half-gallon Sunny D's (had raincheck) @ FREE
2 lbs Mahatma Rice @ 2/$0.38
Southern Home Loaf Bread. @ $1

My total bill was just $20.18 which is barely more than the pork. I had coupons the Simply Potatoes, VO5, Sunny D, and rice. I also used a $4/$20 competitor's coupon. The total before sales and coupons was $56.08. I saved $35.90 or 64%. That's great on a bill that includes over 11 lbs of meat. And I got 0.50 back from Mobisave for the VO5.

CHEAP LIBBY'S VEGETABLES AT BI-LO THIS WEEKEND

Another great deal that Bi-Lo is offering this weekend is Libby's canned vegetables for just .50 per can. However, if you have this coupon:

$1/4 Libby's Vegetable Items from the Red Plum insert on 8/21,

you will pay just .25 per can! That's a great deal!

This deal is valid September 24-25 only.

Awesome Deal On Dixie Crystals Sugar

This weekend, September 24 & 25th, you can get an awesome deal on Dixie Crystals Sugar, 4 lb bags. Bi-Lo will have it on sale for $1.58. That, in itself, is a great deal. But throw a coupon into the mix and it becomes an awesome deal. Go HERE to print a .40 coupon, which will bring the price down to .78, if the coupon doubles. Typically, Dixie Crystals coupons state "Do Not Double," but this one does not. I have also checked it with my Double Check app, which says that it is coded to double.

3000 sheets of paper for $1.01

My paper was getting low, so I've been watching for Staples to have another good deal, and they finally came through. This week, through Saturday, you can get 6 reams of paper for just $1.01 after Easy Rebates and store coupons. Just take these 2 coupons into the store and purchase one ream and one 5-ream case of Staples brand multipurpose paper. You will initially pay $32.99 plus tax, but will be given everything you need to file for the rebates. You will get the rebate in the form of a Visa card and/or check, so it's real money, not rewards that have to be spent in the store.

I did a quick work-up for 10 shirts with a 2-color design and it was $119.90 plus $12.99 shipping. Of course, another color would have been $37.40 more. Also, size XXL is a little more.  But this is still a great deal. Go HERE to order shirts for your group or organization now. Make certain to use the promo code EXCLUSIVE. This deal ends Sunday.

LAST DAY FOR CHEAP VEGGIES & EGGS AT INGLES

If you are shopping Ingles today, you may want to print this .50 off 2 Green Giant Vegetables coupon. Ingles currently has the standard size can on sale for .60. Using this coupon, you can buy 2 cans for just .10 each. Make certain that you print 2 coupons, so that you can purchase 4 cans.

Now, Ingles has a 'quirky' coupon policy. They will only double 3 coupons for every $10 that you spend. So you may have to purchase a few more items to get you to that $10 mark. One suggestion would be to pick up 4 dozen large eggs, which are currently on sale for $1.25 each, with a limit of 4. Then just another sale item or 2 and you have reached your $10 mark, and gotten some awesome deals for your Thanksgiving dinner at the same time.

But you have to shop for these deals today, as today is the last day of the sale.

Update: After going to Bi-Lo, I see that the stores in my area have these pies priced at $7.99-$8.29. But it's still an awesome deal. Even at $8.29, the pies are just $2.15 each.
