Thanks to Monica for emailing me this great deal at WinCo. The Tuna Helpers have peelie coupons on them: “Purchase Tuna Helper, save $1 on any brand of tuna.” This is how Monica worked it:
Buy 10 boxes of Tuna Helper ($.98 each) = $9.80
Buy 15 cans of Bumble Bee Tuna ( $.68 each) = $10.20
Use (3) $.75/3 Helper coupons from 3/7 SS insert (-$2.25)
Use (10) $1 off peelie coupons (-$10)
$7.76 after coupons for 10 boxes of Tuna Helper and 15 cans of tuna
The peelies were found at the NE 122nd & Glisan store in Portland.

If you love Post cereal, you really must get your $1/2 Post cereal coupons off ebay right now. Fabulessly Frugal is reporting that there is an amazing sale on Post cereal starting Wednesday (3/17). Think sale + catalina + doubles. Please head over there to get the scoop.
New to getting coupons off ebay? Follow these guidelines:
1. Use the Buy It Now feature. Don’t do the auction. It takes too long and you’re bound to pay too much.
2. I usually suggest buying from a west coast seller, but you have plenty of time for shipping so go for the lowest price.
3. Band together with a few friends, make one big order and save on shipping.
4. Make sure you’re buying what you need. There are coupons for “any Post cereal” and “any kids Post cereal.” You are probably looking for “any Post cereal.”

The Oregonian is coming around! For a limited time you can get the weekend papers (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) for just $1 a week for the first 24 weeks. It doesn’t look like you can get multiple Sundays for $1 each, which just doesn’t make sense.
Not available in Clark County, WA. This offer is available to new customers only (haven’t subscribed to home delivery in the past 30 days) and until April 18. Do some counting and current subscribers may be able to figure out a way to take advantage of this deal…

Thanks, Saving 4 My Family!

If you want to stock up on Kellogg’s cereal, today is your day! There’s a catalina promotion that ends today (Wednesday) that works well with sales at both Albertsons and Safeway:
Frosted Flakes, Apple Jacks, Froot Loops, Corn Pops, Cocoa Krispies, Honey Smacks
{Buy 3, Get $1 Catalina}
{Buy 4, Get $3 Catalina}
{Buy 5+, Get $4 Catalina}
This catalina will roll to a second transaction at either store.
Here’s the scenario for Safeway:
Buy any 5 boxes of Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Froot Loops or Cocoa Krispies on sale $2.50 each = $12.50
Use (2) $1/2 coupons from 3/7 RP insert
Use 2 Safeway doubles (-$1)
Get promo savings (-$5)
Pay $4.50, Get $4 Catalina
$.10 each after coupons, doubles & cat
And here’s the deal scenario for Albertsons:
Buy any 4 boxes of Frosted Flakes, Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Froot Loops, Honey Smacks or Cocoa Krispies on sale $1.88 each = $7.52
Use (2) $1/2 coupons from 3/7 RP insert
Pay $5.52, Get $3 Catalina
$.63 each after coupons & cat
Why would you shop Albertsons instead of Safeway? If you would like to use a catalina from a previous promotion to lower your out-of-pocket.

Questions about how eCoupons work? Check out the eCoupon FAQ page.
Most of these deals use a Safeway double coupon, which is available at Oregon & SW Washington (Wahkiakum, Cowlitz, Clark, Skamania & Klickitat Counties) Safeways only. You can double up to 4 manufacturer’s coupons per transaction, up to $.50 each. The double coupon is found in the weekly ad at the bottom of the middle page.
We are proud to be apart of The Grocery Gathering over at BeCentsAble, posting for Safeway in Oregon & SW Washington.
I’ll add more deals as I find them. Leave a comment with any you come up with!

If you really like Post Honey Bunches of Oats or Post Fruity Pebbles (there may be others too), you need to get $1/2 Post cereal coupons off ebay NOW! There’s a great sale starting tomorrow at Safeway that includes a catalina.
We did not receive the Post coupons in the Oregonian 2/28 SS inserts, so your only opportunity to get them is through ebay or a coupon clipping service. The Buy It Now prices are quite reasonable, but will certainly go up as people get excited about this deal! Remember to buy from a west coast seller to get them quickly.
I’ll get the deals up soon, but just wanted to give you a heads up!
