Carlie C's grand opening: Great deals on ice cream, peanut butter and more

AmyDunn — Mon, 20 May 2013 14:18:03 -0400

Carlie C's IGA grocery store on New Bern Avenue in Raleigh is celebrating its grand opening with some pretty tempting prices.

It has been several months since Carlie C's took over the location that Kroger abandoned in a cost-cutting move, but it's never too late for some grocery bargains.

Even better, the prices, valid through May 26, are also good at the Carlie C's Garner Station store.

Take a look at some of the better deals:

Mayfield Ice Cream (48 oz.): 99 cents after $1 coupon in the 5/12 SS -- a nearly unheard of price these days.

Blue Bonnet margarine (1 lb.): 69 cents.

IGA whipped topping (8 oz.): 79 cents.

IGA peanut butter (18 oz.): 99 cents. Has anyone out there tried the IGA brand? How does it compare to Jif, Skippy or Peter Pan?

Del Monte spaghetti sauce (26 oz.): 68 cents.

Sweet Baby Ray's: 67 cents each wyb 3 and use the $1/3 coupon in the 5/19 SS1.

Cucumbers: 65 cents each.

Limes: 17 cents each.

Score free produce with $5 rebate in Sunday's N&O

AmyDunn — Sun, 19 May 2013 06:00:00 -0400

How does $5 in free produce sound?

That's the deal when you take advantage of the rare rebate in Sunday's coupon inserts.

It's a great opportunity to score some savings on grocery items, such as produce, that almost never offer coupons.

Rebates sponsored by beer companies are typically found in the grocery stores but it's unusual to see one offered in the Sunday newspaper.

And just so you know: Although sponsored by the beer makers, NO beer purchase is required.

To get your $5, all you need to do is spend $5 on produce, then mail in your receipt along with the form you'll find on the inside back page of the Red Plum coupon insert.

Your check for $5 will arrive in six to eight weeks.

You have until July 8 to purchase the produce and July 23 to mail the rebate.

Kroger deals, May 19-25

AmyDunn — Sun, 19 May 2013 04:55:00 -0400

Look for lots of good deals at Kroger this week on produce, boneless chicken breasts and chicken leg quarters, Green Giant canned vegetables, Kroger-brand soda, Cool Whip, Kroger-brand cream cheese and Pepsi 2 liters.

It's interesting to note that none of these deals requires a coupon, which is significant since the chain stopped double coupons in the Triangle one week ago. Read about the coupon policy change HERE.

The best coupon deals of the week are on Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce -- just 67 cents each when you buy three -- and Ball Park Franks for 88 cents each when you buy two.

While the chain has promised over-all lower prices, shoppers in other areas where double coupons were previously discontinued have reported through social media that the lower pricing was short lived. Let me know what you think about Kroger's pricing in the comments section below this post.

Keep reading for this week's top deals at Triangle-area Kroger stores.

Kroger savings tips:

*Kroger stores in the Mid-Atlantic region, which includes the Triangle, do NOT double coupons.
*Up to five identical coupons may be used in a single order, but there's no limit on the total number of coupons you may use.
*During Kroger's frequent 10 for $10 sales, you DON'T have to buy all ten to score the deal. Each item is individually priced at $1.
*Kroger offers digital coupons, which you may load onto your loyalty card. The digital coupons do NOT double and may NOT be combined with paper coupons.
*Seniors save 5 percent on their total grocery bill every Tuesday.

This Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer contains three good-sized inserts -- two Smart Source and one Red Plum -- for a total of 179 coupons and a rare rebate on produce.

The face value of the offers is about $240, which is before you double the first coupon at Harris Teeter or Lowes Foods.

A big welcome to new readers from Friday's 'Got to be NC' coupon class

AmyDunn — Fri, 17 May 2013 22:53:53 -0400

Thanks to everyone who attended my coupon class at the "Got to be NC" festival Friday afternoon at the state fairgrounds. And a big thanks to the folks at the North Carolina Department of Agriculture for inviting me to speak about some of my favorite topics: coupons and saving money on groceries.

Reminder: Free coupon class at the 'Got to be NC' festival

AmyDunn — Thu, 16 May 2013 20:59:00 -0400

Here's a freebie I hope you won't be able to pass up.

I'll be teaching a free coupon class this Friday at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds.

The class is part of the annual "Got to be NC" festival -- a celebration of all things North Carolina -- which runs this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The one-hour class, with a question-and-answer session afterward, will teach you how to save at least 50 percent at the grocery store using coupons and other savings techniques.

The class begins at 12:30 p.m. Friday, May 17.

Admission to the festival is free and parking is free but you will need to pay a $2 admission to the Food, Wine & Beer Expo where the coupon class is being held.

That $2 will give you access to the coupon class and 100 North Carolina companies giving free samples and selling their products. You'll also receive a sheet of 24 coupons to use at the expo. Folks who attend my coupon class will receive a reusable grocery bag filled with freebies.

The class will be a condensed version of the three-hour workshop I normally offer. I will focus on grocery store savings, giving you the lasted information on store policies, how to save using paper and digital coupons, where to safely print coupons and how to score rebates on meats and produce.

If you can't come for the class, stop by afterward and say hello or ask me a question. I will be at the expo until 2:30.

For more information, click HERE.

Three coupon books in this Sunday's N&O

AmyDunn — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:59:30 -0400

Look for three good-sized coupon inserts -- two Smart Source and one Red Plum -- in this Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer.

There will be a combined total of 179 coupons with a face value of nearly $240 -- plus be on the look out for a rare rebate on produce.

I'll have the coupon database updated and the best Sunday deals posted early Sunday morning, about the same time your paper hits the driveway. That way, you'll have the most complete and up-to-date coupon information for the Triangle at your finger tips.
 
Please note: Single-copy and State Edition papers may not contain all coupon inserts.

Coupon database updated

AmyDunn — Mon, 13 May 2013 15:25:06 -0400

The News & Observer's coupon database has been updated with all of Sunday's coupons.

This home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer contained three inserts -- one Smart Source, one Red Plum and a rare mid-month P&G -- for a total of 151 coupons with a face value of about $170.

That's before you double the first coupon, of course, which we have the opportunity to do every day of the week at Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods.

Not familiar with the coupon database? You can access it on the right-hand side of the blog. There's a button at the bottom right to view it as a full-size page.

Or, you can download it as an Excel spreadsheet by clicking on the attachment at the bottom of this post.

It's a handy tool, giving you the most timely and detailed list of coupons in the Triangle.

Haagen-Dazs ice cream shops are prepping for their annual Free Cone Day, which means a free scoop of your choice on Tuesday, May 14.

In the Triangle, Haagen-Dazs stores are located at the Streets at Southpoint and Northgate Mall, both in Durham.

The free cones will be handed out from 4 to 8 p.m.

Pick your favorite flavor of ice cream of one of several new gelato flavors -- Stracciatella, Black Cherry Amaretto, Cappuccino and Sea Salt Caramel.

Kroger stores giving away free Pepsi and Frito-Lay samples on Friday, May 17

AmyDunn — Mon, 13 May 2013 11:44:28 -0400

Coming up this Friday, May 17, Kroger stores will be giving away free samples of Pepsi and Frito-Lay products.

Stores in the Triangle will be serving up cans of Pepsi Next and new varieties of Cheetos and Doritos.

The "Free for All" is the latest in several recent Kroger giveaways. You kind of have to wonder if the chain is trying to soften the blow of its recent decision to stop doubling coupons.

The freebies will be available from 4 to 7 p.m.

Check HERE to make sure your Kroger is participating.

Frugal this and that

AmyDunn — Mon, 13 May 2013 11:28:00 -0400

As you might have noticed, I was MIA from the blog last week.

No trips to England this time around, just a quiet week at home living the frugal life.

On any given day, you might have spotted me:

*exercising at the gym, utilizing my not-so-frugal membership, which I have justified as a long-term investment in avoiding later medical expenses.

*feeling comforted after reading these interviews with the three all-grown-up daughters of Amy Dacyczyn (pronounced decision) of 1990s "Tightwad Gazette" fame. I say comforted because it turns out the girls were not scarred for life by their mom's penny-pinching ways aside from a little teen angst over uncool jeans.

*price comparing a certain pair of "must-have" shoes for my teen-age daughter, then ordering them online, using ebates.com for an additional discount, and saving $12.20. That's a double play in my book since she gets to be cool and I still get to save money.

*swapping coupons with a great group of money savvy women at the Southeast Regional Library in Garner.

*eating strawberries from my favorite strawberry patch, Buckwheat Farm in Apex.

*organizing, discarding, donating and selling miscellaneous items that we no longer want, need or use on a regular basis. I wound up with one large bag ready for donation and $307 to show for my efforts. I've written before about how I've sold our clutter to make money, but this time I tried something new, selling items on "Buy, Sell, Trade" groups on Facebook. Kind of like an online yard sale. I highly recommend it.

*reading The Hypnotist by Lars Kepler, my book club's latest pick, which I borrowed from the public library, my favorite bookstore.

*sharing Mother's Day honors with my 79-year-old mom over a homemade brunch. My husband and daughter did the cooking and the cleaning, and skipped the long lines and restaurant tab.

What have you been up to lately in the frugality department?
