OMG! The reduced produce section at the Sanford Shaw’s was bursting at the seams today (Saturday). It’s hard to tell, but there are bags and bags piled on top of each other. If you are heading in that direction, bring your coupons! Can you say FREE Fresh Express?
They had at least 15 bags of Fresh Express salad, all Sweet Tender Greens or Tender Ruby Reds. They are reduced to $1.00 and that lovely Fresh Express coupon is still doubling at Sanford, with overage!
(If you need the Fresh Express coupon, email me. I’m here and can zip it right over to you. I know you want to run out the door!)
Looks like the date was Jan 29 for all the salad. But, I have been getting this stuff all month and these two salad mixes last a long time. In fact, today I just opened two bags with a best by date of Jan 20 and they are as fresh as ever! It’s really only the iceberg that does not last long.
They also had maybe 15 to 20 bags of coleslaw, but I didn’t see Fresh Express. However, I didn’t really look hard and now I’m kicking myself because I could use some coleslaw! Those bags were $1.00 each.
And there was this one big veggie tray for only $5.00. It weighs 2.5 pounds! That’s a good deal for 5 bucks. You know, you can cook these veggies! There is no law saying you have to eat them with dip. I would have loved to buy it, but $5.00 is like a million dollars to me now. So, you can have it :O)

Reduced deli was quite full too. They had lots of fried chicken, sandwich meat, Oscar Mayer bacon and a bunch of other stuff. I even got to talk to Simon the deli manager. He said reduced deli has been doing really well and he was trying to keep it stocked with lots of goodies. I told him I hoped I was part of the reason he was selling so much. He said he wants me to send everyone over! What a nice guy (and quite cute).
Reduced dairy was empty. Well, it was full of eggs, but not reduced. I asked if maybe they moved the section (I was in a panic) and the guy said no. He said it just got empty so he moved eggs over there for now. He said it was full yesterday and it sold like crazy. Said he has a hard time keeping it stocked. I wonder why ;O)

If you got the $1/2 Ken’s Dressing, 9 oz, in the 1/8 SmartSource insert, you can pick up some bottles of salad dressing for only $.50 each starting Friday, Jan 27, at Shaw’s!
Buy (2) Ken’s Dressing on sale for $1 each
Use (1) $1/2 Ken’s Dressing from the 1/8 SS insert (regional)
Final price is $1 total or just $.50 each!
If you were lucky enough to get the regional $1/1 Ken’s 9oz Dressing, then the dressing would be free!
NOTE: While $.50 sounds like an awesome deal, my stockpile price for the small bottles of dressing is FREE to $.25… so don’t go hog wild. Just buy what you need for the next couple months.

Posted by Darlene on January 23, 2012 at 9:57 am I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.There is a new coupon that came out during the night that I just love! It’s for $.55 off 1 Florida’s Natural Grapefruit Juice.
Lately, I’ve been seeing Florida’s Natural in the reduced dairy section at my Sanford Shaw’s marked down to $1 to $1.50, so FREE or CHEAP after the coupon doubles! I hope I can find a little juice treasure!
Even if you don’t have a reduced section, this coupon will come in handy during a sale. And if your store doubles coupons… even better!
UPDATE! I just printed (after posting) and this coupon does not expire until June 30! We have plenty of time to use this coupon so you MUST PRINT your 2 prints from every computer you can get your hands on! Woohoo!

I don’t know if all Shaw’s have the same clearance sales (not reduced, just regular clearance) but during my little walk around my Sanford Shaw’s tonight I noticed some Old El Paso items were on clearance for 50% off while they last! These were on the shelf with the other Old El Paso stuff.
They had…
Old El Paso Tostada Shells, 12 ct, reg $3.19, clearance $1.60
Old El Paso Chicken Soft Taco Dinner, reg $3.00???, clearance $1.50???
I had NO PEN AGAIN so I could not jot down the prices… argh!
You can use these coupons to get the price even lower!
$.60/3 Old El Paso Products – this will double to $1.20 off!
