Prices below are from the Chief Weekly Ad and Rays Weekly Ad for the week of Thursday, 3/15/12 through Wednesday, 3/21/12.
= my favorite deals!
It’s March – think Spring Cleaning (lots of supplies on sale this week)! It’s also National Frozen Foods month, and there are some good deals in that category as well (like 33% off almost ALL brands of frozen meals).
St. Patrick’s Day is Saturday, so you can also get a nice deal on corned beef and cabbage this week.
Also, the front “half-page” of the ad is filled with in-ad coupons (listed below by category). These are bulk prices, i.e. they’re only valid for a case full of product. Some of the prices are very good, while others are just okay in my opinion. If you plan to stack manufacturer coupons with these, keep in mind that the manufacturer coupon limit is (5) per transaction (and most of these items come more than 5 items per case).
My favorite stacking deals are for Cottonelle Bath Tissue and Viva Paper Towels (see details below).
