Thriftway 4/15-4/21

I went to Thriftway last night to check out this week's ad (for some reason we didn't get our Food Day this week). I live near one and they often have some real steals. I was not disappointed this week.

Kellogg's Raisin Bran or Raisin Bran Crunch (18.2 - 20 oz.) 2/$3 with $10 minimum purchase

*use this $1/1 Kellogg's coupon (print it twice) and Thriftway double to get both boxes for free!

Thriftway or Western Family gallon milk $0.99 (limit 1) with minimum $10 purchase

Kellogg's Eggo Waffles 2/$3 (no minimum purchase)

*use $1/2 coupon from the 4/5 RP insert and Thriftway double to get these for $0.75 each!

Darigold cottage cheese (16 oz.) 2/$3 (no minimum purchase)

*use $0.40/1 coupon from the 4/5 SS insert and Thriftway double to get these for $0.70 each!

Something to note about using the coupons that require a minimum purchase:

$10 minimum must be after all coupons (except the one that requires the minimum), but can include the items you're using the coupons for. Confusing, I know. I didn't know the total had to be $10 after the coupons, so I ended up having to add about $2 worth of other groceries to get my total up. Normally I won't do that, but the cereal was such a great deal, and I added some frozen vegetables that I needed anyway (and were also on sale), so I still felt good about my purchase.

Thriftway 3/25-3/31

For those of you on the West side of Portland, you may be lucky enough to live near a Thriftway. This week's ad includes a coupon for FREE Western Family cottage cheese, FREE Coke, Pepsi or 7-Up 2-liter, buy-3-get-3-free Kellogg's cereals (participating cereals listed in ad) making 6 boxes $12. Also, on the back of the "This Week" front section of the Food Day there is a coupon for 1 dozen Western Family eggs for $.19! All coupons (except the cereal one) are with minimum $10 purchase, but the cost of the "free" item before coupon counts towards that minimum. You do NOT have to buy $10 worth of groceries for each coupon. And the $10 is BEFORE your other manufacturer coupons, too.

Be careful with Thriftway - prices on other items that are not their "loss leaders" are quite high. Go in with your list of sale items to buy and don't stray from it!
