Many merchandisers promote new lines of baby items, which means many baby items will be on sale this month.

Stock-up Prices at Safeway 8/9/14


I hit a second store in my quest for stock-up items. With the combination of card savings, just for U, and coupons, Safeway has some good buys.

First, Pepridge Farms goldfish crackers are regularly $2.49 each but with the J4U savings of 82¢ each loaded on the Safeway card the overall price is $1.67. This is my buying price point, so I picked up half a dozen different flavors. 99¢ or less is my normal stock-up price. My family is addicted to these crackers.

Chex mix 8.75 oz is on sale 10 for $10 or $1.00 each. When combined with the 50¢ off 2 coupon the overall price is 75¢. My stock-up price for these crackers is 79¢. I ended up with 16 bags, but I do not think they will last very long since the kids dug right into them when I came home.

Bags of Teddy Grahams are on sale for $1.99. With J4U savings of $1 for 1 the price drops down to 99¢. This is a good price, but with a 75¢ off to coupon the price drops down to 62¢. My stock up price for this type of cookies is 99¢ or less.

Chicken of the Sea canned tuna is on sale for 69¢. Stock-up price for canned tuna. I picked up 24 cans plus I used the coupon 75¢ off 3. Alas I only had one, but it always helps. My price for stocking up on tuna fish is 79¢. I would be nice if the price stays down on tuna instead of rising.


The other big stock-up sale this week is on General Mills Cereal. When you buy four or more boxes of selected cereal varieties the price drops to $1.49. Some of the varieties include Trix, Cocoa Puffs, Reeses and Golden Grahams. With my coupons all the cereal I brought home was priced 99¢ or lower. The General Mills coupons are normally $1 off 2, which drops the price down to 99¢. When the coupon targets specific cereal they are normally higher in value. The Trix coupon 75¢ off 1 brought the price down to 74¢ each. So I brought home a shelf-full of cereal.

Finding stock-up prices at Walmart 8/9/2014


My Walmart in Aberdeen, WA is in the middle of the transition between a regular store and a supercenter. In my opinion they started backwards by expanding the garden section and stuff, but slowly working on the food section. Anyway I found some stock-up items, which means that the items were cheap enough that I bought multiples.

I am working on a Stock-up price sheet, which gives me a type of average of prices, sale cycles on items, and the best price (stock-up time). I have researched many of these price sheets but they usually have something funky with them. One may have good price ideas on canned goods, but the meat is too high. Another one has the produce too cheap, like it was based on prices from 1970. So I will pass some of this realistic view of prices on as I work on it.

Today, at Walmart I found some items that I stocked up on:
Eggo Waffles 10 count priced at $2.00. With coupon $1 off 2 the price equals $1.50. This is a great breakfast-on-the-go for teens running out the door in the morning. I picked up only four boxes because of limited freezer space. So my price point for waffles is $1.50 or less.

Welches Grape Jelly large jar priced at $1.78. With coupon $1 off 2 the price equals $1.28. Stock-up price would be $1.28 or less for the large jar. I picked up four grape and two strawberry jars.

Rayvac batteries 4 pack priced at 97¢. With $1 off 1 coupon, the price equals FREE. Definitely a stock-up price. Free is always good.

VO5 shampoo or conditioner priced at 84¢. With  coupon 50¢ off 2 the price is  59¢. Time to grab multiples.

Tabasco Hot Sauce small bottle priced at $1. 34. With coupon 50¢ off 1 the price drops to 84¢. I picked up four since that is the amount of coupons I had.

Store brand sliced beets priced at 68¢. Beets under 70¢ is a good buy in my area.

Hershey's chocolate snack bars 6 pk priced at $1.00. With coupon $1 off 2 the price is 50¢ each. All eight of my packages are in the freezer hidden away from kids. There is even dark chocolate and almond varieties.

Haribo gummy bears 6 oz pack priced at 98¢. With coupon 30¢ off 1 the price is 68¢. This coupon is usually found once a month on the coupons.com site.

Van de Camp pork and beans 15 oz are priced at 50¢ each. Good deal even without coupons.

BIC sensitive desposible razors 12 pack priced at $2.82. With coupon $3 off 1 the price is.... FREE. So I picked up 36 free razors.

 There are 2 liter bottles of store brand soda for 84¢ each. I try to not pay more than 99¢ for 2 liters. In my house, a 2 liter lasts about 15 minutes.

So these are few items that I was able to stock-up on.

Fresh Vidalia Onion Printable Coupon


 I was actually looking for a coupon for fresh bananas since I have to blend up my food until my mouth heals. I was thinking banana shake. But I stumbled on to this little goody. I'm thinking onion soup.

You need to like the Vidalia Onion Facebook page.

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and hit the Print button. They ask for your name and email, so they can update you if they have more promotions.

My coupon is good until August 30, 2014. I did read on another blog that you can have two printings, but only one printed on my computer. Now I just need to find a sale on Fresh Vidalia Onions.


More coupon fun coming soon...

I would like to apologize for taking time off of my blog.

I developed cancer under my tongue and have been dealing with recovering from surgery.

Good news is that I am now cancer-free. Bad news my coupon binder is nearly empty. So I am currently building my coupon stash and getting back on to the coupon wagon.

So keep an eye out. I will be blogging again soon and updating information on my site.
