THANK YOU for the tornados food recall mention, I had not seen that and I had some of the recalled ones in my freezer, THANK YOU for the heads up!
I’m glad I mentioned that! BTW, it wasn’t just the Tornados – there was at least one other frozen food item with steak that had been recalled. I’ll try to see what I can find and do a post.
I found a $0.25/1 coupon on the Sunny D website (http://www.sunnyd.com) that matched with the sale to make the Sunny Delight $0.75 each.
I just found your bolg and wanted to say thanks! I am having a hard time finding blogs inthe Seattle area for couponing becaseu most of them are in the midwest where they can double/triple coupon. thanks you for the work you put into this!
Nalley’s pickles (46 oz.) are $2, and there was a $1/1 in my stash (I think it was from last week’s paper). So $1 for a big jar of pickles!
