Deals

This was forwarded to me from another ward.

Hey everyone-I just wanted to let you know that WinCo still has their 5lb sugar and flour on sale for $1.50. Walmart has just their sugar right now for $1.50 and Tuna is still $.50. Also if your a Chex Mix fan Walmart had Chex brand cereal on sale for $1.66 a box. I just bought some to eat! If you are a stamper the Craft Warehouse had Christmas stamps 10 for $10 kind of thing, I'm not a stamper but I heard that was a good price. On Saturday you'll be able to find clearance sales on all Halloween stuff, so go get some for next year. Fred Meyer has Fuji apples for $.88 and Albertsons has some buy 1 get 1 free deals going on, but you'll have to check out the ads to see if there is anything there worth it, You have to be careful there because often with those buy 1 get 1 free deals, they're not deals at all, you end up buying 1 for the price of 2, so be careful. Happy Halloween and may your treats come in the form of savings!! Angie

Great new resources

Darci sent me a link to a great food storage blog. Thanks Darci!
http://everydayfoodstorage.blogspot.com/

This is a great blog. Also included in the blog is a link to another blog http://www.thecrazyshopper.blogspot.com/

And yet another website for coupons. I am getting back into coupons. It really does take me extra time when shopping to figure it all out, but when I do, I can really save a lot.

Good luck and Happy Shopping!

Pandemic Flu

Darci sent this one in. Thanks!



The state of Idaho launched a new website on Pandemic Flu. The website is http://www.panfluidaho.org/. It has a lot of good information about planning for an emergency.



It would make a good FHE topic. There are also some good links for emergency planning. People can also order a pandemic flu packet (just information from the website) by calling the 211.

Blue Chip Group and Shelf Reliance

This is a place where I ordered a few different food storage products a few years ago. They sell Morning Moo and a lot of other food storage items and the prices are very good. I doubt you can beat them. That is if you don't have to pay shipping.

Here is another food storage and store systems company that I get email on. This link is to their "sale" items.

Paul's Case Lot Sale

Here are some prices for the case lot sale at Paul's. Thanks to Darci for sending these to me.

Case of Kraft mac and cheese - 7.00 (8 packages in a case)
Kleenex 2 for 3.00
Case of paper towels (15 rolls) 6.98
Case of toilet paper (never tried the brand so we'll see how it is) 36 rolls 6.98
Case of 24 kidney beans 12.00
25 lbs Sugar 8.98 (limit two - cheeper than Costco 10.99)
Tomatoe sauce case of 48 11.00
Case of 24 green beans 11.28
Case of 24 corn 11.28 (they also have peas at this price)
Case of 24 canned tomatoes 12.00
Case of 8 apple juice (64 0z) 10.00
Spring water 2.48 24 pack

I'm pretty sure the other types of beans we didn't buy were the same as the Kidney beans and all the vegatables were 11.28 a case.

I did a little checking on the prices for the White Wheat listed in the previous post. The email that was sent to me said that the cannery is out of white wheat and will not be getting any until January. They were not sure of what the price will be. My price list (dec. 2007) had wheat at 6.25 for 25 lbs., which is a little cheeper (50 lbs. for $15).

Bargains

I just got this email passed on to me from my sister in the Cottonwood park ward who got it passed on to her. I'm not sure who it originated from, Angie? I am going to check out some of the deals that are listed here. I will buy a few boxes of the crackers. I am also going to buy some wheat. If any of you find something good with the Paul's Market deal, let me know.

Ok ladies here it comes, hold on to your seats-

First of all Walmart is having a sale on their Saltine crackers $.50 a box, stock up for those days your kids are sick or you need them for soup or to crush for recipes, also their Nestle Hot coco 10pkg box is $1.00 cheaper than the generic brand and you can pick different flavors like Milk chocolate, or Double Chocolate if your like me. In my experience the bargains are usually on the ends of the aisle so look there. Walmart seems to be rotating their deals about every week or so and some of them are pretty good.

Paul's Market is having it's case lot sale, from what I understand (I've never done this before) you go and can order items by the case and I guess it can be quite a bit cheaper. You pay when you pick it up. I looked on the website and couldn't find exactly what all was available or even exactly how it worked but if I go I'll let you know the details. The sale ends Tuesday October 7th from what I can gather from the website, but it might be worth checking out. If anyone knows more about it, feel free to share with me and I'll pass it on.

I just got a great tip on White Wheat! There is a place in Nampa called MELMONT BEAN and SEED that is selling wheat for $15 for 50 pounds. That is one heck of a deal! I paid $33 for the same 50 lbs. this summer. Anyway, you can buy it in the bag, or for $24 it comes already in a 6 gallon bucket! So, don't delay, this is an amazing deal. I called the man and he said you just have to call his office phone number and leave a message telling him how many bags you want and they will have it ready for you to pick up. The number to call is 495-2818. Their address is 4842 Southside Blvd in Nampa. He also has pinto beans. Pass this info on to anyone who needs their wheat.

Ok last but not least thanks to all of you who call or email me great deals, it helps us all out, I really appreciate it. Let me know how else I can help!

Now go bargin hunt and let know what else you find!!

Happy saving and storing!

Angie
