Grocery Deals -- 5/28-5/3 JEWEL

One of the nice things the Frugalista does for you is read those Wednesday grocery flyers for the biggest local chains, Jewel and Dominick's, so you don't have to waste money subscribing to the paper. (I'm KIDDING! Getting the newspaper at home is one of the things I actually DO shell out for month after month, because, oh, I don't know, I believe in democracy and an informed electorate. And it's easier for me to chase my kids around with a folded newspaper in my hand than it is with my laptop.)

 

(And yes, the folded newspaper makes a MUCH BETTER disciplinary tool than the laptop. The laptop is fragile!)

 

A couple notes about my round-ups: I don't list every product, only the ones I think are actual good deals. I'm biased toward organic and whole-grain products, and I consult the Environmental Working Group's list to determine what is important to buy organic and what can get a pass. I use the coupon database at Hot Coupon World to find coupon matches for you, and I put the very hottest deals I see in red text.

 

Finally, if you see a word that confuses you, like bogo, or the sources of the coupons, checkout my beginner's primer for new coupon/bargain shoppers.

 

And here we go!

 

I don't think I'll be using my third $5/$50 at Jewel this week. The deals just aren't good enough and after two weeks of making Jewel my main shopping trip, we are out of most organic produce and such, so we must to TJs. But there are a few things:

THURS-SAT ONLY
Dole bananas 33 cents a pound, limit 10 pounds (definite stock-up price. If/when they get brown, do like grandma always did and throw in your freezer for banana bread)
Michelina's dinners 79 cents
Shoppers Value TP 12 double rolls, $3.99 limit 2

ALL WEEK
Breyers Ice Cream, 1.5 qt., bogo @ ?
24 oz. Jewel cottage cheese $2.49
Jewel brick cheese, 8 oz. $2
Jewel milk $2.28
Thomas' English Muffins bogo @ $2.99 (includes whole grain)
California red or green seedless grapes, $1.99/lb. (not the best price, but it's a big deal that the Cali grape season has begun, if are concerned about pesticides, because according to the Environmental Working Group, domestic grapes test as safe but imported ones do not)
Perdue ground chicken or turkey burgers bogo @ $3.99/lb.
Steak-Umm Burgers (frozen) 32 oz. bogo $ $8.99
Wild Harvest organic grape tomatoes, pint $2.99
WH organic russet potatoes, 5 lb.s $3.49
WH diced tomatoes $1.50 for 14.5 oz.
WH tomato sauce 14.5 oz. $1.39
Dole 100% juice blends, 64 oz., $2.50
WH eggs, cage free, Omega-3 or organic, 25% off ?
Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Pasta (Smart Taste is also shown in pic) $1.25 for 12-14.5 oz. (use $1/1 from 4/5 SmartSource to get Smart Taste for 25 cents; I've tried it on the Healthy Harvest and it only works on Smart Taste)

 
LAST CHANCE TO USE KELLOGG'S PRINTABLES EXPIRING 5/30: selected Kellogg's are $1.88 if you buy 8 this week. If you have the $1/1 printables (they're no longer available), they would be 88 cents. Includes 20 oz. Raisin Bran, 12 oz. Rice Krispies, 12.2 oz. Froot Loops, and 12-ct. Pop-Tarts and a bunch of Keebler cookies and crackers. (Also use $1/2 Pop-Tarts from 4/5 RedPlum.)
