Save-A-Lot Circular 7/31/2013 - 8/13/2013

Peaches, Plums and Nectarines    99 cents a pound that's AMAZING DEAL

Banquet Frozen TV Dinners  4.66 oz - 10 oz    89 cents each again GREAT DEAL

Jiff Peanut Butter 16 oz      $2.49

Sunny D 128 oz        $2.79

Red Baron Pizza    $2.99

Head of Iceberg Lettuce     99 cents

Green Peppers 2 for $1.00

Cucumbers 2 for $1.00

Please don't forget that Walmart will price match this stuff although it seems to me if you need all of these things to just go to Save-A-Lot. Now if you do go they do not have bags, you need to bring your own and also you will need a quarter to get a shopping cart, but when you return it you can get your quarter back.  I have gone and forgotten to bring the quarter and that was a pain in the rump!

Kids Eat Free!!!

I belong to an newsletter group..Macaroni Kids and they have compiled the following list.  Also, as a side note, Denny's does 1 adult can get up to 2 free kids meals, while all the other places only do 1 adult 1 free kid.

Need dinner plans? After many requests, we've compiled an updated list of restaurants that offer Kids EAT FREE. Most usually require an adult entree purchase. IMPORTANT: Please remember our edition covers Martin County so the deals listed below have only been verified with those restaurants located within our county, and in some cases, only the specific location listed. Each restaurnat listed below was called as of October 1st. We try to keep this list up-to-date but since things are always changing without notice, please be sure to check with the eatery before heading out, especially if you are going with the hope of enjoying a FREE meal for your kiddos.
If you are the owner, manager, or employee of a restaurant that offers family discounts or has kids-eat-free days, or if you know of one that is not featured here, please email details to brinleyj@macaronikid.com and we'll get the restaurant added to this list.

FLORIDA TAX FREE WEEKEND IS AUGUST 2-4

Let's not forget that TAX FREE WEEKEND IS AUGUST 2-4 

What does that mean for us here in Florida?

2013 Sales Tax Holiday
List of taxable and tax-exempt items August 2 through August 4, 2013

The 2013 Florida Legislature passed and the Governor approved a tax-free period that states:
No sales tax shall be collected on the sale of clothing, wallets, or bags, including handbags, backpacks, fanny packs, and diaper bags, but excluding briefcases, suitcases, and other garment bags, having a sales price of $75 or less per item, on sales of certain school supplies having a sales price of $15 or less per item, or on sales of personal computers and certain related accessories having a sales price of $750 or less per item, for the period beginning 12:01 a.m. on August 2, 2013, and ending at 11:59 p.m. on August 4, 2013. “Clothing” means any article of wearing apparel, including all footwear (except skis, swim fins, roller blades, and skates), intended to be worn on or about the human body. However, “clothing” does not include watches, watch bands, jewelry, umbrellas, handkerchiefs, or sporting equipment.

 

The above information was taken directly from the myflorida.com and if you want a more specific list of the items that are exempt or not click the link for the .pdf and take a read.

Tony Romma Special for July 30th Only

The burgers range in price from 7.00 to 10.00
 

Outback Steakhouse Deal Alert

Tonight at all outbacks if u mention that the outback car and driver won the race yesterday u get a free bloomin onion appetizer

Tried Pollo Tropical for the first time in years

Got a buy one 1/4 chicken w/2 sides get one free coupon for Pollo Tropical which just opened up (all you have to do is sign up on their webpage for emails and you can print one too) on Monteray and US1.  http://pollotropical.com/pollo-rewards/

First off it was over an hour wait, the line was out the door the entire time I was there. 

Secondly, they kept running out of rice. Now the plus points, I thought the chicken was really good. Because they were out of rice when I ordered I ended up giving the Yucca w/ garlic a try. Eww. No garlic and no salt and it was a weird mushy thing. I have never had it before and I wont be again. The Kernal Corn was nice and crisp but needed salt. I love the little salsa/sauce bar. Took one of everything up there to give a try.

The staff was really nice and friendly and working their buns off to get people in and out.
Not sure I would be running back there anytime soon, but if I got another BOGO I would be there tomorrow, lol!

For dinner tonight we had sweet and sour chicken helper I know I know, Chicken Helper ewww.

It was $1.25 for the box and I bought 2 boxes so there would be leftovers, and a 3 lb package of Great Value brand frozen chicken breasts with rib meat for $6.98.  The kids and I love it.  The rice is sticky and the sauce is sweet. My boys wouldn't like it, but I think you could add pineapple chunks and green peppers to really fancy it up.

Total meal price $9.48. We will get 8 meals out of it not bad for a tad over a buck a meal

Here is the information that I have compiled from this weekends on line search for discounts so far.

Target Price good until August 3, 2013

• Buy one get one 1/2 off on all kids shoes 
• Red Baron Pizza 3 for $9.00.  That makes them $3.00 each, however, if that is the only reason you need to go to Target, just go to Wal-Mart and make them price match it, and save .33 off Wal-Marts regular low pricing on this pizza. 

Walgreens Price good until August 3, 2013
(with Walgreens you will need to get a card from them for the discounts but its simple and you can just get it at the register.)

• 99 cents a dozen eggs (no limit listed)
• 99 cents a loaf of white or wheat bread (no limit listed)
• $2.99 a gallon of milk (limit 2)
• 10 cents each 2 pocket school folders (limit 10)
• 32oz gatorade 69 cents each (limit 3) again you can price match this in Wal-Mart.
• 2 for $1.00 or orbit or Wrigley's 5 gum (limit 4) again you can price match at Wal-Mart
• Buy one get one free on Ben & Jerry's pints, that's saves you $4.99. You can price match at Wal-Mart.  I know its expensive ice cream but some people are funny about what kind of ice cream to buy.
• 49 cents each Papermate 6 pack highlighters, doesn't say there is a limit; wexford 5" scissors (limit 3); Elmer's glue sticks 2 pack or 4 oz squeeze bottle (limit 6). All of these, except the scissors can be price matched at Wal-mart.
• 19 cents each for wooden rulers or mini highlighers (limit 8)
• Buy one get one 1/2 off post its, I only list this cause have you seen how freaking expensive they have gotten?
• Buy one get one free 7" Fiskar Scissors , they are $5.99 each, again you can get price matching at Wal-mart for that.
• If you get Sundays paper and you do get the coupons, you can get Wet and Wild Make up for 49 cents.  They have some of that brand cosmetics on sale for $1.49, and there is a $1.00 off coupon(according to Walgreen's ad) in Sunday's paper.  There should also be a Purell hand sanitizer coupon for $1.00 in the paper, add that to the in-store $1.00 coupon and that $2.99 8oz bottle now becomes 99 cents.

Staples Price good until August 3, 2013

Now I have found staples pretty restrictive but here goes

• 1 cent 4oz glue (limit 2. above limit price 50 cents) and you have to spend $5.00 and can't be on extreme discounted items.
  1¢ each with $5 minimum purchase (limit 10 of each per customer. Above limit price 20¢)
• 10 ream case of copy paper $24.99 with coupon Reg. price $49.99, this is actually a good deal, it doesn't seem to be rebate, its a coupon at the counter and this beats Wal-mart's price, as the cheapest ream they have is $2.97. So, if you got this you could get the other listed above items.

Welcome to my blog!

I was at a birthday party yesterday, which was a lot of fun by the way. A few of us moms were sitting around and chatting and we got on the topic of how expensive everything is now, not big news and usually something that comes up in daily conversation right?  So I started telling them about all the sales I have seen around town and they were like how come you haven't told us? Why haven't you shared? Then one of the mom's (thanks Jenna!!) said I should be blogging this information or setting up a texting group or email group.  Well, blogging seemed the easiest for me so here we are. Welcome to my blog.  I will be sharing any sales information that I come across, as well as any recipes I come across that I try and how they went over with my family.  Feel free to leave me any feed back and comments love hearing from my friends!
