Old El Paso CAT

Right now Shaws/Supervalu is running an Old El Paso Catalina. It started 1/25/2010 and will end 2/21/2010 if the CAT announcements are right.

The deal is Save up to $3 on a future purchase of Beef or Chicken.
Purchase any Old el Paso taco shells, dinner kits, seasoning, refried beans or heat and serve side dishes between 1/25 & 2/21
Save $1 on your next beef or chicken purchase when you buy 3
Save $3 when you buy 6

Taco Shells
Taco Seasoning
Heat & Serve Sides
Refried Beans
Dinner Kits

Coupons out there include .50/1 or $1/1 sides, which are on sale for $1. As well as free seasoning wyb two items, free beans wyb two items, and $1 on beans wyb two items that are peelies from other OEP items.

Which means you can buy four sides and two beans or seasoning for nothing and get $3 to use on beef or chicken. Other combinations will have more out of pocket, but if you eat OEP like we do in this house, its still not a bad deal. Word on the street is the sides are backordered in the warehouses already so start getting your rainchecks and asking them to order more when possible. You’ve got plenty of time to get in on this one.

P&G Cat at Shaws

This week there is a Buy $20 get $5 OYNO and 5 redbox codes CAT at Shaws. Not too much exciting except for dog food for me. Could be a couple decent scenarios if you need soap or whatnot. Iams dog food is 18.99 PSP here. 17.99 SP. Add something for 1.01 or more and hit the $20.

My math looks like this:

20.00 dog food plus filler

-$5 CAT

-$5 in redbox codes

10.00 for 17.5lbs which is below my price point of $1/lb for doggie food.

Frugal Friday Apple Crisp

After a rather disappointing day I decided to make myself (and my husband when he gets home from work) a nice dish of apple crisp. Having all the ingredients on hand is priceless in itself, but its the cost of these items that truly highlights the delight with which I will enjoy it when its done.

(1) carton of Breyers vanilla ice cream (made $1 buying after coupon and CAT)

(3) medium Granny Smith apples (free with produce WTs)

(1) cup of brown sugar (.50 for bag after coupon)

(1) cup Quaker old-fashioned oats (.30 for whole canister after coupon)

(1/2) cup of flour (.60 for bag after coupon and CAT)

(1) stick butter (.25 per stick after coupon)

(1) assortment of spices (varying prices but cheap after coupons)

Our baking dish was bought on clearance at Target for 1.49. Its non-stick Nami green apple ware. Its amazing even at full price. And of course afterward I will use my free dishsoap to clean out the pan and other dishes.
