This week's Sunday circulars contain some stellar deals: milk for under $3 a gallon at Kroger and Walgreens, a steal of a deal on olive oil at CVS, good produce prices at Kroger and bargain prices on Kellogg's cereals at Rite Aid.
But my favorite deal of the week is at CVS, where the store will actually pay YOU to buy greeting cards.

To my fellow couponers: A big heads up on some extra savings.

When you're out and about grocery shopping this week, be on the look out for what has become increasingly rare: wine tags and beer rebates.

While prepping for Super Doubles at Lowes Foods and Harris Teeter, I spotted several.

Dueling Super Double coupon events dominate the grocery deals this week. Both Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods are offering special one-week promotions that double the value of coupons up to $1.98 in face value.

Beyond Super Doubles, it's a light week for deals, though there are a few bargains worth an extra trip to the store.

Among the deals that caught my eye:

• Milk for $2.69 per gallon at Aldi!
• Store-brand bacon for $1.79 at Lowes Foods.
• Store-brand ice cream BOGO at Harris Teeter.
• 80% lean ground beef for $2.49 a pound at Harris Teeter.
• Split chicken breasts for 99 cents a pound at Lowes Foods.
• Deli turkey breast for $3.99 a pound at Food Lion.
• Sweet corn for 19 cents an ear at Kroger.

I'm a huge advocate of using coupons to save money. It's my job, of course, but I also go home and practice what I teach. I clip paper coupons, load digital coupons  onto my store loyalty cards and match coupons to sales to make our money stretch even farther.

But coupons are only one way to save money. If you really want to live the frugal life -- or circumstances are requiring a more frugal lifestyle -- take a good hard look at what you're putting in your grocery cart.

Would your purchases pass "the grandma test?"

In other words, would your grandmother or great-grandmother have spent her precious household money on some of the items in your cart -- or even recognize them?

Among the grocery store headlines this week: Cheap milk, a stock-up price on frozen veggies, a $1 sale and store-brand specials galore. There's even a chance to win a year's supply of FREE milk.
