Wednesday deals...


It’s a pretty interesting deals week out there. Lowes Foods introduced its new rewards program today, a program called Fresh Rewards that is replacing Greenpoints. The Harris Teeter buy two get three free ice cream deal is back. And there are also quite a few free or almost free items after coupons and/or rebates at the pharmacies.

Deal of the week: Thanks to the super All laundry detergent coupons on Sunday, there is a killer deal on laundry detergent this week at Food Lion. The 32 load bottles of All are BOGO, $6.45 for two. Since BOGOs ring up at half price at Food Lion, most stores let you use two coupons (though be warned, some stores may not). So with $4 off in coupons, that’s $2.45 for two bottles! That’s 3.8 cents per load! (At regular price that would be 20 cents per load!) I should note that there’s a limit of two free products (ie, a total of four bottles) that you can buy.

Click “Read more” to see the list! And remember, if the store has a loyalty card, you’ll need it to get the sale price.

At Rite Aid this week (good through Saturday, Oct. 10):

*I should note that Rite Aid is still doing its Rake in the Savings promotion where you get money back based on the amount you spend at Rite Aid through Oct. 17. So any purchase made there this week will count for that program as well as any other rebates.

*Then I should tell you about a giant Single Check Rebate offer this month where you get up to $10 back when you buy certain medicines. Get $5 back if you spend $15. Get $8 if you spend $20, or get $10 when you spend $25. Combine that with coupons from the past few weeks and you could get a great deal (see coupon matchups listed below this item).

There were $1 coupons for both items on Sunday and then you can also get a $2 Single Check mail-in rebate when you buy both products from Rite Aid.

Re: Wednesday deals...

The N&O blog is our new food blog, Mouthful. Andrea posts a new recipe each Wednesday just like I postWednesday deals.

http://blogs.newsobserver.com/mouthful

I do vaguely remember posting something about another site, but don't remember what it was...

Re: Wednesday deals...

Didn't you mention in a previous post a while back about some other sites that use the sales fliers to make up meals for the week? Could you please post that again as well as the N&O's blog with the weekly meal?

here is the one a friend sent me, but it doesn't include any of our grocery stores and the walmart one is fairly vague when it come to sales, coupons or savings at all.
