Free Dentastix at Food Lion

Posted 2/25/10

Supergirl9801 at HCW is reporting that we can score FREE Pedigree Dentistix at Food Lion until 3/2.

Here's how:
Buy 2 Dentastix on sale now for 2/$6
Use the $2/$5 pet FLIP here (hand this coupon first)
Use 2- $2/1 MQ's from 2/14 SS or March 2010 AllYou!
Total due: NOTHING

Remember, FLIPS are one per transaction, so you can't do multiples of these in one transaction. You may want to add this in as a part of a larger order just to avoid the harrassment that may come from some employees about leaving with items for free. My stores are ok with it and are happy for me when I work a good deal, but some are pickier than others.

Kraft Coupons at Food Lion

Keep your eyes peeled for some really good Kraft coupons at Food Lion. I went to the 419 Roanoke Food Lion today and saw stacks of Kraft tearpads sitting at the Customer Service desk. I don't know if they plan on putting them up somewhere or leaving them on the customer side of the counter for us to get, but they're great coupons. They do have the Food Lion logo real small on the front, but it doesn't state anywhere on the coupon that it has to be used there.

As a bonus to the coupons, there are a few recipes and a notice on each coupon that Kraft will donate $0.50 to the Easter Seals for each coupon redeemed, up to $50,000.

Coupons available (all expire 3/30/10):

$1 off Kraft Singles, 16 oz
$1 off Nabisco Munch Packs, cookies or crackers
$1 off Kraft Macaroni and Cheese dinner, 5 pk
$1 off Tombstone pizza, 16-24 oz
$1 off Capri Sun juice drink, 10 ct

Good Comparison of Walmart vs. Kroger

Jenny at Southern Savers had a great article a while back and I just saw it again. It reminded me that Walmart may be provide good bargains for household items such as dishes, sheets, electronics, etc, they DO NOT stack up against Kroger (or Food Lion for that matter) in the grocery and household cleaning goods arena!

Check her article here and let me know what you think. I have tried this test for myself several times and EVERY TIME Kroger and Food Lion win out unless it's a staple item that never goes on sale with coupons (rice, flour, etc).

WARNING *** Purex Deal at Kroger

Posted 2/19/10

I bought 3 Purex at Kroger this morning hoping to get my $5 catalina and was surprised when I didn't get it for the first time in 2 weeks.

I read this morning from several people that Purex and Kroger decided to end the catalina promotion on the Purex early. It originally wasn't supposed to end until 3/7, but according to people who have contacted Catalina, people were buying out the detergent to get the catalina and then returning the detergent to the store and keeping the catalina.

Just another good reminder why we need to all practice honest coupon shopping. Whoever these people around the U.S. were doing this have killed a good deal for all of us honest people.

Smart Source 2/21

I am now able to get advance copies of the Smart Source inserts so I have updated the Roanoke Times Insert Listing with the variations (there were a lot). I'll do the other two inserts when I get them early next week.

Kroger - Old El Paso Update

Reports are that the catalina IS printing, but it's not consistent. I got a $3 OYNO beef/chicken at the Cave Spring area Kroger and another fellow couponer was at the Salem Kroger and got the $3 OYNO during one transaction, but not for another immediately after.

If you have problems, email your information to Catalina at this address: Coupon@catalinamarketing.com

They'll need the receipt information such as store name/location, date and time on receipt, items purchased, and expected catalina you should have received, as well as the numbers on the receipt next to the date/time.

They'll mail you a catalina if they find you were due one.

Kroger - Old El Paso

For those of you who want to get in on the Old El Paso deal at Kroger, beware that I went to the 221/419 Kroger next to Bojangles today and did not get the $3 OYNO catalina for my purchase of 6 OEP items. I only ended up paying .25/ea for them, but would have liked to have the catalina to boot.

The promotion is supposed to be from 1/25-2/21, so I emailed Catalina to see if they could send me my coupons via the mail. Reports from other couponers throughout the U.S. are that they are still getting the catalina, so this may be a store problem.

A fellow local couponer is supposed to be trying this deal at the Salem Kroger tomorrow, so I'll update you all later.

Sunbeam product

I own a Sunbeam 5891 breadmaker. Lately I have noticed a strange color marbling my bread. Soon thereafter the plug/mixer paddle at the bottom of the pan started coming loose, allowing the water and ingredients to flush out the bottom if you weren't holding it on during transfer into the breadmaker.

I checked out the problem and realized that the washer that seals the paddle to the plug was corroded and had broken apart. Without this seal, the funk from the bottom of the mixer unit was coming up into my bread and at times I couldnt get the pan in the machine without the plug coming loose. I looked all over for a replacement seal unit, but couldn't find one.

I emailed customer service for Sunbeam and told them what the issue was and asked where I could get a replacement part (or pan if they didn't make the parts for individual sale). I received an email back several days later telling me they were shipping me a whole new pan assembly. NO CHARGE!! They never asked for a serial number, purchase date, proof of purchase...nothing. I was so pleased with their customer service. Normally it's like pulling teeth to get something you are due, let alone something that I'm sure is past its warranty like my breadmaker!

Just thought I would pass this on as a positive note on customer service. If you're in the market for a bread machine, I'd say this is definitely one of the better ones (product and customer service).
