The Summer Celebrations coupon this week is for $1 off any seafood department item and expires 7/12/2011. You can access it here.

Some ideas for the seafood coupon are crab cakes, a couple scallops, a small cut of fish or a small pack of shrimp (I think the cocktail ring was 2.99 for the smallest last time round). Even if something like scallops are 14.99/lb if you only get a couple it is was less than a pound and closer to the $1 mark.

Also still valid if you printed them out:

I don’t know about you, but I am heading out to shop. I need some veggies to go with the meat we already have to grill tonight.  And Hannaford is my favorite place to get produce outside of a veggie stand or my own garden.

The good news is I only didn’t buy a couple rebates worth of stuff (firelogs and a produce item more than $3). Which means I have around $100 more in rebates to send out for, which will bring my yearly total to around $400. Not too bad for missing a bunch of them and not buying every rebate since we don’t really need some stuff.

I told Tim (my husband) he can keep any I send in his name to buy a light saber part. So he will be happy when checks start coming in as well.

Let this be a lesson if you think rebates are just as negligible as coupons. Most of the rebates I have now are for meat, produce, cheese and holiday decorations (lights, bows, cards). Which are things we don’t always have coupons for which are now paying for themselves. Not a bad deal when you think about it.

Along with the coupons expiring the deadline for many rebates is upon us. Which means lots of last minute buying to round out amounts and get them in the mail next week when USPS is back up and running. The good thing is many of the rebates will include stuff on sale or clearance after the holidays including meat, decorations, and all sorts of other food items.

I have seperated out almost $150 worth of rebates I still need to do, and I know I am still looking for some I do not have. Some are being sent in my husband’s name which will go towards his Crystal Focus fund (light saber stuff) so I will be sharing that $150. well worth it though.

So go through all those rebates you’ve been meaning to do, the try-me-free items, beer rebates, winetag rebates and make a list. Check it twice and you can find out if your haul will be naughty or nice.
