A Few Fareway Deals

I checked out the Fareway flyer yesterday and headed to the store to see if the deals were true. Here's what I found:

Jolly Time Popcorn is on sale for $1. There's a $1 off coupon.

Green Giant Steamers are on sale for $1.25. There's a $1 off coupon here. You just need to watch out for this. I thought all the varieties were on sale, but it's not true. It may be that just the plain vegetable packs are the ones on sale.

Ever since I got the sample of the True lemon packets, I've wanted more. (They totally won.) I finally found them at Fareway. There were $2.48 but if you got the sample, they sent you a $1.00 off coupon.

Of course, I had to hook up the Blue Bunny ice cream, so I got $1 off $2.48. I like free, but I can handle spending $1.48 on a container of great ice cream.

And I actually stopped at Wal-Mart too (I'm addicted to shopping with coupons) to see if I could use this Vlasic $1.00 coupon. I did and got a jar of jalapeno slices for $0.58. The rumor that the Macaroni Grill pasta dinner things were on sale isn't true. I was looking forward to hooking some of those up for free, but no.

I've come to a conclusion since all this price checking and couponing thing started. I don't think any one store is cheaper or more expensive than the other (Aldi might be the exception). Each store has some good prices on some items and then higher on others. I think the goal is to get things on sale or just know where the best price is.
