Best Ham Prices, Coupons & Deals

Many people enjoy a festive ham for Christmas! If you’re in the same boat, you might be interested in the best ham prices at a grocery store near you.

PS – We’ve got a roundup of the best turkey prices currently available, too!

Last updated: Friday, December 18, 2020

Remember when comparing ham prices, that there are different cuts of ham.

We typically see the best ham prices during Easter and Christmas. Here’s a little context of the best prices we’ve seen in recent years:

  • 2016 Christmas Season: $1.47/lb
  • 2017 Easter Season: $1.37/lb
  • 2017 Christmas Season: $1.27/lb
  • 2018 Easter Season: $1.27/lb
  • 2018 Easter Season: $1.27/lb
  • 2019 Easter Season: $1.27/lb
  • 2019 Christmas Season: $1.19/lb
  • 2020 Easter Season: $1.27/lb

It’s absolutely worth mentioning that many grocery stores will have a surplus of hams that they will mark down immediately following the holidays. I’ve found spiral sliced hams for as low as $0.99/lb. So if you dig ham, but don’t have to have it on Christmas, your patience may be rewarded!

Acme Ham Price

Acme has spiral sliced hams priced at $1.69/lb with card, limit 1.

Aldi Ham Price

Aldi has their Appleton Farms spiral-sliced half ham double-glazed brown sugar ham for $1.89/lb. (I’ve had this one and it is delicious!)

Otherwise, their Appleton Farms spiral-sliced half ham is half the price at $0.95/lb.

BI-LO Ham Price

BI-LO has Smithfield Shank Portion Smoked Ham priced at $0.99/lb, or you can get the Butt Portion Smoked Ham for $1.19/lb (limit 1).

Prefer spiral sliced? The Smithfield Half Spiral Sliced Ham is $1.79/lb (limit 1).

Mexican Hot Chocolate Recipe

Mexican Hot Chocolate Recipe

I recently shared how I have teamed with a fellow blogger Neyssa, who runs the site Latina Misfit on a Mission to run a series of Hispanic-inspired Thanksgiving and holiday recipes here at The Coupon Project! Make sure to check out the Chorizo Rice and Turkey & Cheese Empanadas recipes in case you missed them.

Today’s recipe is a delicious, spicy spin on hot chocolate. Neyssa writes, “Chocolate is something we ALL LOVE. What better way to remind us of a tropical home on a snowy night, than by infusing the beloved flavors of cinnamon and chili powder to our hot cocoa?” Well, if you live here in Western Washington, you might be more likely to get a rainy night than a snowy night. Either way, it’s hard to top the coziness of a cup of hot cocoa!

Abuelita Chocolate

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1/3 cup of water
  • 1 whole tablet of Abuelita’s chocolate, cut into chunks*
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons of condensed milk (or more/less, as desired)
  • 4 cups of milk
  • Whipped cream (optional)

*You can find this item down the international foods aisle of your grocery store.

Chopped Abuelita Chocolate

In a medium to large pot, over medium high heat, bring water to a boil. Add in Abuelita’s chocolate.

What Is Amazon’s Subscribe & Save Program?

Amazon Subscribe & Save gives you an extra discount on top of Amazon’s prices just by signing up to receive shipments on a regular basis on select products. Often, these are the products you’re buying at regular intervals anyways – such as diapers, paper products, and groceries.

How to Use Amazon Subscribe & Save

1) First, select an eligible item from Amazon’s Subscribe & Save store (items are always changing).

2) Next, choose the quantity of the item you’d like to receive as well as a delivery schedule. You can choose to have your order delivered in monthly intervals from 1 month to 6 months. You can change the delivery frequency at any time.

9 Ways to Get Free Air for Your Tires

12/4/20 Laura Wales


Disclosure: the post below may contain affiliate links. When you make a purchase or take action using these links, the site makes commission. For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy.

Want to get free air for your tires?

Well, there are several options near you get air in your tires for free.

Using a public air compressor to air up your tires can cost anywhere from $1.50 to $2 each time. Yikes! But there’s good news – you don’t have to keep those quarters in your car just in case.

Table of Contents

  • Free Air for Your Tires
    • 1. Air Up at a Gas Station or Grocery Store
    • 2. Check Your Vehicle’s Trunk
    • 3. Use a Bike Pump
    • 4. Get a Portable Air Compressor
    • 5. Visit an Oil Change Location
    • 6. Go to a Tire Shop
    • 7. Visit or Live in a Particular State
    • 8. Stop by Your Car Dealership
    • 9. Check Your Wholesale Club Benefits
  • Why Is Proper Tire Pressure Important?
  • Summary

Free Air for Your Tires

Use one of these ways to get free air for your tires to get you back on the road at no cost to you.

1. Air Up at a Gas Station or Grocery Store

The easiest and quickest way to get free air for your tires is to find a gas station or grocery store near you that offers free air. Yes, some stores now charge for air (which seems silly to me), but chances are you can still find a location near you that offers free air.

FreeAirPump.com is a website that maps out where you can find free air near you. Keep in mind that it’s a user-generated map, so it may not be 100% accurate, but it’s a good starting point.

Otherwise, you can ask your neighbors or in your local Facebook or Nextdoor group for recommendations. As for me, I typically fill my tires at Holiday Stationstores or Kwik Trip. Even my local grocery store, Hy-Vee, offers free air at their gas stations.

Here are some other gas station chains that offer free air for your tires:

  • GATE
  • GetGo
  • QuikTrip
  • Royal Farms
  • Rutter’s
  • Sheetz
  • Wawa

If you’re nervous about filling up your tires yourself, don’t be. It’s easy to do. Cars.com has a quick video of how you can check the pressure and inflate your tires yourself.

You may need to purchase a tire pressure gauge to be sure you’re inflating your tires to the right PSI, or the air pump may have a digital display to show when your tires have reached the correct air pressure. Check the inside of your driver’s side door or your owner’s manual for the recommended PSI.

Disclosure: the post below may contain affiliate links. When you make a purchase or take action using these links, the site makes commission. For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy.

We love FREE Christmas movies on Amazon Prime Instant Video!

free christmas movies amazon prime

I always have to watch Christmas movies this time of year!

If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can take advantage of a good selection of free Christmas movies available on Prime Video!

Please note that at the time of our post (November 30, 2020) we found these to be free on Prime. However, this can change at any time, without warning. This means when you click through the links below to Amazon.com, you might find that these selections are no longer free to watch. Free Christmas movies with Amazon Prime rotate from time to time.

I included the times for each movie in case you want to put something on for the kiddos but you only have a limited amount of time. Leave a comment if you’ve seen any of these and let us all know what you thought!

Free Christmas Movies with Amazon Prime

#1 – It’s a Wonderful Life (PG) – 2 hours, 10 minutes
THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE OF ALL TIME. I stinkin’ love this movie (one of my daughters is nicknamed “Zuzu” because of this movie). Of course, I already own the movie on Blu-ray, but it’s nice to know there’s a streaming version available, too. This is a must-see for me every Christmas season. Starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.

#2 – The Snowman (G) – 27 minutes
This is a kids’ movie without words – perfect for the littlest viewers as well as the whole family. It’s based on the book of the same name. In this movie, a boy builds a snowman which comes to life, and together they embark on a magical adventure of discovery, including a trip to the North Pole.

#3 – The Ultimate Gift (PG) – 1 hour, 57 minutes
Description from Amazon: “A deceased billionaire leaves his spoiled adult grandson a series of odd tasks to perform in order to receive “the ultimate gift,” with the resentful grandson having no idea what that might be.” Starring Abigail Breslin, Drew Fuller, and James Garner.

These dates and prices are good for 2020 and include popular displays like Fantasy Lights at Spanaway Park, Zoolights at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, and more!

Groupon: 5″ x 7″ Holiday Cards from Staples As Low As 31¢ Each

11/27/20 Laura Wales


Disclosure: the post below may contain affiliate links. When you make a purchase or take action using these links, the site makes commission. For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy.

Pick up Staples holiday cards at a great price with this Groupon offer!

Staples holiday cards

Time to cross another item off your holiday to-do list…yes, you can totally get started on it now! The more you do now, the less you have to do later. 🙂

Order your holiday cards with this Groupon offer: get 5″ x 7″ custom matte holiday cards at Staples for as low as 31¢ each!

You’ll place your order online, then either pick up your cards at your chosen Staples location as early as that same day or choose to have them delivered for an extra charge.

Groupon Options

Options include:

  • $12 for 25 5″ x 7″ double-sided flat holiday cards or invitations ($24.99 value) – 48¢ each
  • $20 for 50 5″ x 7″ double-sided flat holiday cards or invitations ($43.99 value) – 40¢ each
  • $40 for 100 5″ x 7″ double-sided flat holiday cards or invitations ($81.99 value) – 40¢ each
  • $62 for 200 5″ x 7″ double-sided flat holiday cards or invitations ($154.99 value) – 31¢ each

These are some really great prices for holiday cards, especially since they’re the 5″ x 7″ option and they can be double-sided.

I’m considering jumping on this deal myself as this is a solid price. I usually order 100 or so cards and I really like the large option rather than the 4″ x 8″, although I’ve used both in the past.

I’m also considering using both sides and including a brief letter on the back instead of my typical extra insert. Hey, the less work I have to do to get these out the door, the better!
