There is a new coupon that came out for $2 off Re-Nu contact lens solution. There is no size restriction so you should be able to use it to pick up the travel size for $1.47 and get it for FREE!

$2.00 off re-nu fresh multi-purpose solution

PLEASE READ! This coupon states “not redeemable for more than the purchase price” so the cashier has the right to reject this coupon if the price of the item is less than $2. Or, the cashier might adjust the coupon down to the price of the item, meaning no money maker.

3 NEW COUPONS for Hubert’s Lemonade plus Walmart Scenarios

Posted by Darlene on March 7, 2012 at 9:28 am

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

There are 3 new Hubert’s Lemonade coupons that you can print out. The ones on coupons.com have the Walmart logo, but they are manufacturers coupons so you should be able to use them anywhere. However, if you can’t find them anywhere else, you should at least be able to find them at Walmart… seeing as though they slapped their logo on there and all :O)

B1G1 FREE Hubert’s Lemonade – coupons.com zip 33433, look in beverages
$.75/1 Hubert’s Lemonade – coupons.com zip 33433, look in beverages
$1/1 Hubert’s Lemonade on facebook, like them

Price at Walmart is $1.69 (might be regional) so only $.69 each if you use the $1 off coupon, $.84 each if you buy 2 and use the B1G1, or $.94 each if you use the $.75 off.

The Walmart policy does not allow a second coupon to be used if you are using a B1G1 coupon.

Thanks for the heads up I Heart the Mart!

I had a blast passing out coupons at Hannaford tonight!

I had so much fun handing out coupons at Hannaford tonight. The coupons from the Hannaford booklet that came out last fall are expiring next week, so I want to make sure every single one that I have left gets put to good use. Tonight, I hung out at the registers at Hannaford (yes, coupon geek) and passed coupons out to everyone who had Hannaford and/or My Essential items. I also brought lots of $2 off coupons with me too and handed those to everyone I could find.

During one of my trips through the register, I had a woman directly in front of me and a young couple directly behind me. Their purchases were small, which was perfect because it made the coupons look more impressive. The woman in front of me had a total of $4.15 and had one My Essential item so I gave her $2 off and $1 off and she ended up at $1.15 and you would have thought she won the lottery! The couple behind me had a higher total, $7.53, but I was able to get it down to $4.53 with a $1 off and the $2 off. They were equally happy.

I also passed out coupons to shoppers in the store and even ran into another couponer who follows my blog! And I also saw my couponing cousin! On my way out, I spotted the woman who was so happy to get her total down to $1.15 and I gave her more coupons to help her out over her next few transactions. That got me a bear hug and a big old kiss on the cheek! LOL She really was sweet.

Sanford Shaw’s Alert – Lots of goodies in reduced deli and grocery

Posted by Darlene on March 6, 2012 at 8:40 pm

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

I took a walk around my Sanford Shaw’s tonight and wrote down some of the goodies I found in reduced deli. The bin was full! If you happen to be passing by Shaw’s on Wednesday, you might want to stop in to see what they have left.

I don’t have time to look up coupons at the moment, but you can search in my coupon database to see if there are coupons for any of these items. You can use a manufacturer coupon with the store reduced peelie coupons!

Tribe Hummus – $4.99 with $2 off peelie. They had big 16 oz tubs and small 8 oz tubs for the same price, so make sure you look to see if they still have the big tubs!

Land O Frost Bistro Favorites Ham – $3.69 with $1 off peelie. I forgot to check the ounces.

Hatfield Bacon – $6.49 with $3 off peelie. Didn’t check the ounces but it’s a full size package of bacon and they had bunches!

Oscar Mayer Deli Meat – $4.29 with $2 off peelie. These were 7 ounces.

Lots of fried chicken with peelies (various prices) and whole chickens too for $5.99 with $1 off peelies, but frankly, I still find that to be too pricey. Sometimes they will slap on a few more peelies, and just so you know, if you see something with (3) $1 off peelies, you get all $3 off!

Then over in reduced grocery (back wall of the store by the big doors) they had an entire shopping cart filled with Java Delight fresh ground coffee, 12 oz bags, marked down to $3 each. They had breakfast blend, house blend and hazelnut cream!

I also saw lots of boxes of Balance Bars marked down to $3.65 each, which I think is like what we should pay for an entire week’s worth of groceries, not just a box of bars… but hey, if you like those, go get ’em! And they may be a coupon on facebook for those too.

Oh oh oh… I found a coupon for Old Cape Cod Cranberry Mustard. I know, sounds gross. I bet it’s good. Marked down to $1.60 in reduced grocery and you can get $1/2 Old Cape Cod product coupon here. You should actually print a few of those coupons (pdf so you can also save to your desktop) because you’ll get $1/2 Cains and $1/2 Naturally Delicious too!

You know, some of the stuff I find in reduced grocery is very odd stuff that I would never normally buy. But, if you are looking to make a gift basket for someone and want good prices on fancy stuff, that’s the place to shop!

Reduced dairy had bunches of cans of Grands Biscuits marked down to $1.25 each and also Pillsbury Cookie Dough (the big rolls) for $1.50 each. I’m sure you can find coupons if you search my coupon database.
