text: Howard – check your J4U…look what I got!
  , 85-ct. Limit 2
  Thanks, L, I looked at the J4U cpn center and personalized deals and saw only the 85-count Kleenex for $.75 (which in and of itself is not a deal). Could not see the 75-ct off cpn. Either I didn't get it, or perhaps I had it a couple weeks ago and used it then.
  The Barbur Blvd/SW Portland store reopened Weds after 14 months of remodeling. They sent cpn books to area residents with loads of free and heavily discounted items. I got over $65 worth of products for about $19. (There was a $20 min purchase requirement, before mfr cpns, for the free stuff.) And for my $19, I got 3 Tidy Cat 20-lb litters, 2 Prego alfredo jars, 3 2-ltr bottles Refreshe soda, 2 pks Angel Soft TP and a Select frozen pizza. Plus about 10 free items worth about 40+ bucks. Been waiting for this reopening for a LONG time!
  Q: What's a good price on spices?
  Price, of course, varies by the type of spice and the maker. I don't buy very many, but when I do it's usually this time of year, when they are often BOGO or 50% off. Fred Meyer brand is 50% off till tomorrow; Albertson's brand is BOGO thru Nov 12. Also look for possible sales on McCormick and Spice Islands brands,as well as coupons for one or both. You probably won't do better than the half-off deals that are running this week.
  Thanks Howard, I'm running out of the pumpkin spice! I like to add it to my coffee!!
  I've never drunk coffee (will I get deported from the Pac NW?), but my daughter loves Starbucks' pumpkin latte.
  The spices were buy 2 get 1 free at Safeway. I also had a $1 off J4U on my card (Mccormick and Safeway brands). So I grabbed 2 Mccormicks and one safeway spice. I used a $1.75/2 paper coupon. $1 off 2 of them with J4U, $1.75 off the 2 McCormicks, then they took the cost of the second highest spice off as the free one. Spices aren't cheap. I think i spent $8 on 3 bottles (chili powder, clove and thyme). I was happy…enough.
  PS these were all $4-6 each with out sales and coupons.
  So $7 savings. About a 40-45% savings.
  Betty Crocker has an $0.85 off cake mix, etc. coupon on their website. I think you can print two. Most of their coupons are $0.10 more than what you'll find on coupons.com
  They are indeed great coupons, but since most Safeways don't double internet printables, I use the newspaper ones first. Even at 10 cents less, they are worth more with the doubler.
  In coupon ctr. Prego sauce $1.59 (looks like the Classic Alfredo in online pic.). 11/3 SS (POMS) there is a .75/1 MC for alfredo, w/doubler brings it to .34/jar. Going to verify this AM!
  Thanks, I didn't catch that one. Alfredo definitely should qualify; the deal is 14.5 to 24 oz jars.
  Got it today, two for $.34 each.
  If you're out of BC cake mix cpns, as I am, there's supposed to be one in 11-10 SS for $.75/2, which can be doubled.
  $100 MasterCard pay $5.95 activation get $10 off next shopping trip. $4.05mm
  I saw it advertised on the display.
  It printed out as a cat
  FYI on the angel soft if you are wondering how the math works out (it is correct) it is 2/ $1.39-limit 2.
  Check your Safeway account for a FREE Campbell's Slow Cooker Sauce. I found it under Personalized Deals
  Got it today. We like the pot roast version and just had it last night.
  I have yet to find a single pkg of Angel Soft at any Safeway I've visited in the Portland area. But I'll give it another try; haven't checked for a while.
  It's been available at the Gresham stores.
  King City had them on an end display before.
  Thanks, got 2 today. But they are REALLY small packages (58 sq ft or thereabouts). I paid $1.04 for 2 because I also had a $.35 J4U cpn.
  I got one Angel soft and one Sparkle. Buy 2 they are $1.34. Then I had a 35c off J4U for each. So i spent 32c on each. 🙂
  Yes, Howard, those were some very small rolls of TP.
  There was a .70 cent off any trix coupon in this weeks paper.
  (3) trix ceral -$5.00
  (3) .70 cent off coupon + (3) doublers
  = 1.40 for 3 boxes or .47 cents a box!!!
  $.75 in my Oregonian circular. And you should be able to buy fewer than 3 and still get the same price, I believe, so $.41-42 per box with my cpn and doubler.
