Sunflower Market

Have you shopped at Sunflower Market? If not, it's really worth a trip. They have good produce for GREAT prices. I like to go on Wednesdays because it's "Double Ad Day" meaning- it's the last day of one sale ad and the first day of the next week's sale ad so the store honors BOTH sale ads and you have lots of great deals to cash in on! Here's what I bought on my Wednesday 6/24/09 trip:
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Family Pack $3.64
93% Lean Ground Beef Family Pack $4.61
.83 lb Apricots $0.56
1 Pineapple $0.99
2.01 lb Nectarines $1.35
2 Limes $0.20
6-oz Raspberries $0.99
6-oz Blueberries $0.99
10.69 lb Seedless Watermelon $3.56
Total Spent: $16.89
I know that GS is working to get a list on their website for Sunflower Market but until then you can check out the ads online at: www.sfmarkets.com.

Other Sunday Paper Coupons

Did you happen to look in your USA Weekend & Parade inserts yesterday? I always browse through mine. Every once in a while they will have coupons inside. Yesterday they had 7 coupons available. Here's a breakdown:
USA Weekend: $0.50/1 tub Scott Naturals Moist Wipes, $1/1 Scott Extra Soft double roll toilet paper 12-pack, $1/1 Scott paper towels 6-pack or larger, $1/1 Cottonelle toilet paper (any variety) 12-pack, $2/1 Prilosec OTC
Parade: BOGO 2.05-oz Kraft Easy Mac, $2/1 Prilosec OTC
Even though I get 4 papers and 4 Parade inserts only 3 of the Parade inserts had the Kraft Easy Mac coupons. I don't know why some of those inserts have coupons and some don't but I always check. I'm still happy about my 3 Kraft coupons.
So if you haven't went through your papers or they are in the recycle bin you might want to go through them today and grab these coupons.

HELLO!

Yes I know...I have been a slacker. So sorry. We took on a huge project here at our house. We have been working like crazy since April to landscape our backyard before the heat of summer gets here and it has really consumed ALL of our extra time. I haven't been teaching many classes or doing a whole lot of shopping but I HAVE been using up my stockpile of food and toiletries which has been so nice! Wow I love couponing and stocking up because we have sooooo much that I've been able to take a little break and utilize what I already have. Now it's time for me to get back to teaching & shopping!
On the GS website under the "other stores" list you will see a Target list for this week!!! I'm seriously jumping for joy over that one. It's really worth checking out so be sure to take a look.

Kraft Coupons

The buzz of the coupon world this week is the printable Kraft coupons. These are high value and RARE coupons. Right now they are available on GS Group A coupons (but you can only print them once) and you can also go to Kraft.com click on the right hand side where it says "hurry! coupon offers..." become a member and get access to the coupons. Be sure to hurry because it sounds like Kraft has set print limits on these and will be pulling them as soon as that limit is reached.
