A Thrifty Mom

Thanks to Nancy for passing this along,

At Winco today I found Tuna Helper priced at 98 cents. Many of the boxes have peelies that say $1.00 of any tuna fish with the purchase of a tuna helper. The Hy-top tuna is 48 cents. That makes one box of Tuna Helper and a can of tuna only 46 cents. And if you use the .75 of 3 boxes of hamburger/tuna helper, It makes it only 23 cents for both. I bought 6 boxes of tuna helper and 6 cans of tuna for $1.38 plus tax. The cashier wasn’t really excited about the hamburger/tuna helper coupon (internet printable) but after conferring with the manager they decided to take them. YMMV! Good luck!

Two of my readers let me know that they were able to get oranges at Winco today for 18-19 cents a lb. Limit 10 lbs  This is a very good price!  Now if I only had a Mr. Juiceman ( or whatever it is called???) …..  am I the only one who watches those infomercials, and dreams of all the yummy juice I could make?  Yummmmm

Thanks so Mishelle for passing this along!

I was at Winco in Meridian this weekend and they had their Stove Top Stuffing on sale for .78 a box and they had tear pads for buy 4 get 1 free!  That makes them .63 per box when you buy 5 at a time.  This is a great time of year to stock up on stuffing for the rest of the year.

Thanks to Heather for passing this along,

Stove Top Stuffing is also on sale at Smith’s this week for .50 per box when you buy 10 participating items.

One of our readers thrifty deal:

I found a thrifty deal at Winco today thought you might want to pass it on. Nalley’s pickle spears, garlic dills or bread and butter, for 1.78 each and I used the 1.50 coupon from the Sunday inserts (not sure when) so each was .28 each. Bought 6 for 1.53 w/tax.

WINCO has their cantaloupes 3/1.00 for your first 3.  This sale ends tonight.  That is the best price I have ever seen for cantaloupes.

Thanks Helen in Meridian

I have had a couple of my readers tell me they were able to get a Bumble Bee Tuna pouch at Winco for .98 cents, they used the $1.00 off coupon from the 6/14 smart source. Which makes them FREE.

I got this email from one of my readers, if any of you are able to confirm these prices in Nampa or Boise please let me know!!!

I live in Twin Falls, and I got an insert in the mail yesterday for Winco. They had some great deals on it. Some of the deals were

• boneless skinless chicken  breasts for .98
• pork ribs for .98
• seedless watermelons 1.98 (limit one)
• corn on the cob .10 (limit 8 )

I’m not sure if the Winco’s in your area are offering the same deals, just thought I would let you know so you could check it out.

Thanks Jennifer !!!

Yesterday I told you all about the new coupon for .80 cents off 3 packages of Hamburger Helper.  You can print it here.  One of my readers passed this great deal along,

“Winco has Twin packs of Hamburger Helper on sale for .98 so I went and bought 3 boxes used my coupon and ended up paying 2.20 plus tax which makes each Hamburger Helper box only .37 cents each”

Some of you are a bit worried, that I have not taken any photos of food that is “fresh”. I was asked if I only buy what is on sale, and fail to feed my family fresh, products from the store. To answer that question, No I do not buy just want is on sale. I try to stock up on items that are on sale, and will store well.
I tend to buy most of my “need it this week” items at Winco, Costco, or Walmart. Being that over all their prices are lower. BUT no store has the lowest price on every item! These stores do not run sales like Albertsosn, Walgreens, Shopko… Week to week these stores will mark down many items, making those items a great price, and then if you are able to use a coupon on top of that, you will save a lot. I try to buy only the “sale, or mark down” items, and stock up at these stores. I now have a large “food storage” of items I don’t need to buy at normal price. I can wait till they go an sale again, and restock. This cycle allows me to always buy many of my groceries over half off.
Above are the items I bought yesterday at Winco. I like their produce section, I was able to pick up broccoli for .79 cents a pound, cauliflower for .98 cents each. The only items I was able to use a coupon on was the 2 tubs of sour cream, for .40 cents off. I didn’t get any huge discount but still feel like my hard earned money was well spent, at a good price. Total spent $15.38.
