eBONUSCARD Offers at MARTIN’S

I need to thank reader Their Mommy His Wife for reminding me about using the eBONUSCARD offers at MARTIN’S.  In reading her comment and then looking at what was available when I logged into my MARTIN’S account we had different coupons available.  I don’t know if this is because we are in different areas, or if the coupons are specific to your buying trends.  (If you signed up for the weekly e-mails you may have noticed that they always give you suggestions of items on sale that you may want to purchase based on your previous purchases with your bonuscard.)

To access the eBONUSCARD offers you have to register you MARTIN’S card and set-up your MARTIN’S account.  I talked about how to register your card  and sign-up for MARTIN’S e-mails in this post.  Once you are signed up you need to click on the “click here for your personalized page”. 

It will bring up three different boxes (at least mine did).  One of the boxes is to an option to view eBONUSCARD Offers. 


All you have to do is follow the directions at the top of the page once you click on the “View Offers” button.  I had the option on mine for $1.50 off any 8-10 oz. Cracker Barrel Deluxe Cheese item (which was only $2 not $2.50 like the ad stated this week) and $0.75 off GIANT Frozen vegetables which worked with the GIANT Steam Ready vegetables on sale.  You don’t have to click anything else to load the coupons to your card – it automatically adds them when you click on the “Add to BONUSCARD” button. 

The eBONUSCARD offers do have an expiration date and it says that it is a limit of 1 per BONUSCARD household.  I have not tested it out myself so I am not positive, but I think you may be able to combine manufacturer coupons with these coupons.  Has anyone done this if so please let me and my other readers know.

Happy Shopping!

MARTIN’S Deals for the week of December 26

 

I didn’t see any deals that jumped out at me this week with MARTIN’S, but I did find free pasta and some more party foods on sale. 

There is a small box on the back of this week’s MARTIN’s ad that says if you buy $8 worth of expressions from Hallmark party goods with your BONUSCARD you get $5 off instantly – that is a great deal.  Stock-up on plates and napkins for birthday parties, baby or bridal showers.  Paper products can really add up when you are having a party.  I don’t think that you get the $5 off for every $8 that you purchase so if you end up with $16 worth of products I would suggest you purchase them in two separate transactions.

Click here to view an on-line version of this week’s ad. Click here for information about MARTIN’S coupon policy.

Check out Money Saving Mom for my MARTIN’S top deals in addition to top deals for other grocery stores, drug stores, and discount stores from other deal seekers.

Here are what I consider to be the top deals this week at MARTIN’S.  Remember what I consider to be a good deal and what you consider to be a good deal may differ.  Please feel free to leave me a comment with any deals that you find.

Meat:

• GIANT Fresh Whole Boneless Pork Tenderloin (10-12lb) – $1.89/lb (cut free to your specifications)
• Ground Beef (80/20) – $1.99/lb
• GIANT Split Chicken Breast (4-5 lb) – $1/lb
• USDA Choice Top Round London Broil – $2.99/lb (not a stock-up price, but not a bad price)
• Fresh Whole Pork Shoulder Roast – $0.99/lb (Great for making barbecue in your crock-pot)
• GIANT Whole Chicken – $0.99/lb

 

Produce:

I have been adding the bag salad deals to most of my weekly post.  I know that lots of people think that bag salad is expensive and a waste of money.  I have to agree that bag salad can be expensive and a convenience only item.  But, there have been weather problems with the farms on the West coast, where most of our lettuce comes from (especially in the winter).  The cost of a head of lettuce is really high right now.  (I think it was $1.79 for a head of iceberg lettuce last week and $1.99/lb for a head of Romaine.)  When you look at the fact that you are getting all edible lettuce (no core), that is already cleaned and chopped – the $2 to $2.50 a bag isn’t such a bad deal.  I also like to look for the bags that have the $1 off sticker on them because they are close to their best by date – that makes it an even better deal.

• Tote Bag Apples – $0.99/lb
• Dole Special Blend Salad or Complete Kit – $2
• GIANT Cherry Berry Grape Tomatoes – $2/pint

It’s Not Fair!!!!!!

“It’s not fair!” is a phrase that Natalie has begun to say and now Megan has picked up and is repeating.  I don’t like it.  One night at dinner, when I was breaking something in half for them to share, Natalie exclaimed that it wasn’t fair.  I had had a long day and was exhausted.  I looked at her and I asked her what wasn’t fair.  I then proceeded to let her know that it wasn’t fair that there are people who don’t have food to eat and we have more than enough, and that there are people who don’t have a nice, warm house on a cold night like us.  My rant didn’t phase her.

Since I have become a parent I have really seen my relationship with God in a new way.  I always knew that God was my heavenly father and that He loved me.  I knew that my parents loved me.  It wasn’t until I became a mother that I realized how much a parent truly loves their child.  It allowed me to see the Bible verses I had learned as a child in an entirely different light.  For example, probably one of the first verses I can remember memorizing was John 3:16 (ESV) – “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”  I can’t imagine as a parent loving something or someone else enough to give up my child.  WOW – God really loves me (and you)!

I started to think about the “it’s not fair” outburst with Natalie and Megan and about how many times I have said that to God about something in my own life.  I was the selfish preschooler upset because the “other piece” looked more appealing.  God was the parent looking back at me and saying, “Was it fair that my son came to live on this earth, and then died on the cross for your sins?”  My response, “No God, it isn’t fair.  Thank you for giving us your son, Jesus, and allowing him to sacrifice himself for me.”

I hope that I can stop being the selfish preschooler and instead be the thankful adult and realize that no it isn’t fair, but I appreciate everything that I have and that has been given to me.  I hope that in the busyness of Christmas that you have the time to reflect on what a precious gift it really was to the world when Christ was born.

Merry Christmas!

Free Antibiotics at MARTIN’S

As a mom of three little ones and a pharmacist I am well aware of how expensive it can be when someone gets sick or gets hurt and needs to see a doctor.  I have been to the doctor every Friday for the last 3 weeks.  Once for Michael’s 4-month check-up.  The other two were unplanned visits. 

This past Friday, Natalie and Megan were playing outside in the snow.  I was watching them from the window and feeding Michael when Megan started crying and Natalie started saying “I didn’t mean to, it was an accident!”  Megan came inside and I found out exactly what had happened.  Natalie was playing with a plastic shovel and was “shoveling” the sidewalk.  She was really swinging the shovel full of snow up into the air and letting it fall on her head.  Megan got too close and the shovel hit her in the face, across her eye.  I was looking at her eye after she calmed down, and it was still red she was also having trouble opening up her eye.  I wasn’t sure if some of the ice in the snow had scratched her eye or not.  I don’t like to take chances with eyes – you only have one set.  I decided I would pack everyone up and head to the pediatrician and have them check her out.  I was glad that I did because she did end up having a small scratch on her eye.  Thankfully it wasn’t anything major.  The pediatrician and I decided to be cautious and treat her with some antibiotic eye drops.  I went to MARTIN’S to get her prescription filled and expected to pay the $10 generic co-pay.  I was pleasantly surprised to find out the eye drops were one of the free antibiotics that MARTIN’S Pharmacy offers – and it is sad that I didn’t remember that since I am a MARTIN’S pharmacist. 

Being able to get your antibiotic for free is really nice after you had to pay for a doctor visit and then sometimes need to buy an over-the-counter item in addition to your prescription.  There are only select antibiotics that are free.  To view the list go here and if you have any questions feel free to call your local MARTIN’S pharmacy.  One last thing -  don’t forget that MARTIN’S also has a $4 for a 30-day supply and $10 for a 90-day supply on select generic drugs. 

I do want to put out a disclaimer that I was not asked to write this post nor was I given anything for writing this post.  I am a part-time MARTIN’S pharmacist and I just thought it would be nice to remind my readers about another way to save money during the cough and cold season.

MARTIN’S Top Deals for the Week of November 28th

With all of the great deals MARTIN’S had over the two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving this week’s ad is a bit of a let-down.  There are still some good deals and an opportunity to earn a $5 Catalina. 

Click here to view an on-line version of this week’s ad.

Click here for information about MARTIN’S coupon policy.

Check out Money Saving Mom for my MARTIN’S top deals in addition to top deals for other grocery stores, drug stores, and discount stores from other deal seekers. 

Here is how to get the $5 Catalina (a coupon that prints out at the end of your order that will say good for $5 off your next order).  There is a list of Proctor & Gamble products in the upper right hand side of the ad on page 7 and states that if you buy $25 worth of participating products in one transaction with your BONUSCARD between 11/28/10 and 12/04/10 you will receive $5 off your next purchase via check-out coupon.  (The $25 is after in-store deals, but before any manufacturer coupons.)

Use four $1/1 coupons for the Tide and two $0.25/1 coupons for the Puffs

You pay $21.21 and earn a $5 coupon to use on your next purchase.

A little of this and a little of that…..

I want to start of and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.  Here is a picture of just three things that we have to be thankful for this year.

Natalie (4&1/2), Megan (2), Michael (3 months)

 

I wanted to share a few tips and some info that will hopefully help you as you shop with the upcoming holiday deals.

I first want to share a tip from Katie a friend, who I have known since Kindergarten.  I haven’t been “playing the drugstore game” since Michael was born, but she found a great deal that I wanted to share.

...at CVS they have SOME shades of L'oreal make up on clearance for 75% off! I've been to 2 CVS's and gotten some! Plus, there were coupons for $5 off 2 and $1 off 1 in the paper. So I just bought $30 worth of make up for $3! Yay! !

I checked the coupon database and it looks like the coupons Katie is referring to are from the 11/14 RedPlum Insert.  The $5/2 is for any L'Oreal cosmetic face product and the $1/1 is for any L’Oreal facial cleanser.  If you can find these they are not only great for “grown-ups” but to use as stocking stuffers for any teenagers.

My second tip is just a coupon tip in general.  Did you know that just because a manufacturer coupon says “Do Not Double” it may still double at the register? If you look at the barcode on the coupon look at the first number.  The coupon will double if the first number is a “5”, if the number is a “9” it will not double.  I know from experience that this is the case with both MARTIN’S and Kroger.  (Just don’t forget that MARTIN’S only doubles one “like” coupon per customer per day.)

The final thing that I wanted to share with you is about Groupon.  I had read about Groupon for a while and finally took the plunge this fall and bought my first one.  It is awesome!  If you don’t know what I am talking about here is the “Ann version”.  Groupon is a coupon that is available to a group usually for one day only that allows you to purchase a coupon to a retailer for a discount.  They are usually valid for 6 months after your purchase.

I bought a Groupon recently for $40 to The Body Shop for only $20.  I am planning on going there and buying a few gifts and maybe a little treat for me as well.  Saturday there was a Groupon for a new doughnut shop near our house – Daylight Donuts.  I was able to buy a $10 Groupon for $5.  I took the girls there this morning for a special treat and we got a dozen doughnuts for only $0.51 with my $10 Groupon.  (So, in reality I paid $5.51.)   The doughnuts are made fresh at the shop and tasted sooooooo good!

Here is a picture of what we came home with.  Can you guess which two I let each of the girls pick out?

If you are interested in Groupon check out the link.  I will let you know that if you click on that link, sign-up and buy a Groupon within 72 hours I do get referral credit.  If you feel uncomfortable with the solicitation you can just go to groupon.com.  By the way, you can sign-up for Groupon in your area if you live outside of Richmond.  There are both local merchants (like the doughnut shop) and national retailers (like The Body Shop) who participate.

 

Happy Shopping and Happy Thanksgiving!

MARTIN’S Top Deals for the Week of November 21st

It is finally here – the week of Thanksgiving!  There are lots of great deals that will enable you to enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving Day meal for less thanks to combining sales and coupons.

I am sad to see on the front page of the MARTIN’S ad that they are going to be open on Thanksgiving Day until 3PM.  Sure, it is nice that they are closing early, but the employees deserve an entire day off to spend with their families.  (I miss Ukrop’s!)

I was happy to see that MARTIN’S still has their GIANT Brand Turkey on sale this week for $0.29/lb (with a $25 purchase), now I can get my turkey early this week so it can defrost in the refrigerator.  (I am going to try to brine it before I bake it this year.  Any recipes or tips you would like to share are welcomed.)

Here are what I consider to be the top deals this week at MARTIN’S.  Remember what I consider to be a good deal and what you consider to be a good deal may differ.  Please feel free to leave me a comment with any deals that you find.

MARTIN’S Top Deals for the Week of November 14th

I love the holidays!  I love being able to spend time together with family, I enjoy reflecting on all of the things that we have to be thankful for, and I love the sales and coupons that are released for all of the holiday eating! 

I would like to mention that in the spirit of giving if you have extra in your pantry or if your budget has some wiggle room right now there is a huge need with local food banks.  Please consider picking up an extra can or box of a nonperishable and making a donation.

There are lots of great deals for your Thanksgiving Day meal.  MARTIN’S has on the front page of their ad a frozen turkey (10lb & up) for $0.29/lb with a minimum $25 purchase.  I think I am going to wait until next week to get my turkey.  One reason is that I still need to make room in my freezer if I get it this week, and the second reason is that I am holding out in hopes for more turkey deals next week. 

There is also a deal on the front page that says if you buy any 4 General Mills Cereals in one visit with your BONUSCARD you will instantly get $6 off.  (Excludes Discontinued Items)  I don’t know the everyday price of General Mills Cereals.  There is potential for this to be a good deal if you combine manufacturer coupons with the $1.50 off each box when you buy 4.  Here is a list of some coupons available for General Mills cereal:

• $1/2 General Mills Chex Cereals Listed: Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Wheat Chex, Honey Nut Chex, Chocolate Chex, Multi-Bran Chex Or Cinnamon Chex, Any Boxes in the 11/14 SmartSource Insert
• $1/2 General Mills Cereal Listed: Basic 4, Cheerios (any), Chex (any), Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cocoa Puffs (any), Cookie Crisp (any), Dora the Explorer, Fiber One (any), Golden Grahams, Honey Nut Clusters, Kix (any), Lucky Charms (any), Oatmeal Crisp (any), Raisin Nut Bran, Reese's Puffs, Total (any), Trix, Or Wheaties (any), Any Boxes in the 11/14 SmartSource Insert
• Also check out smartsource.com and coupons.com for several other printable coupons for General Mills Cereals. 

Here are what I consider to be the top deals this week at MARTIN’S.  Remember what I consider to be a good deal and what you consider to be a good deal may differ.  Please feel free to leave me a comment with any deals that you find.

I have just recently realized that I have readers that are outside of the Richmond, VA area.  (Thanks for reading by the way!)  The prices and sales ad that I am sharing are specific for the Richmond area, but hopefully some of the deals are the same.
