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

Click here to view an on-line version of this week’s ad. Click here for information about MARTIN’S coupon policy. The ad and the coupon policy are for the Richmond, VA area. There is the possibility of some variances in other areas.

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. I verify the coupons that I mention with what I receive in my local paper, the Richmond Times-Dispatch (RTD). Coupons are regional so you may not have the exact same coupon or the same face value. 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 read on-line that some areas received “Dollar Doublers”  It has been almost a year since Richmond has received them, but cheer up Richmond we got a gas bonus.  There was a coupon on the front of the ad in my Sunday paper (it is not always available with the store ads) for an additional $0.30/gallon (a $6 savings when you get the full 20 gallons)towards your fuelperks! when you spend $50 or more in one transaction.  There is a limit of one coupon per transaction, but not household.  If you are planning a big shopping trip try to split up your purchase into $50 increments so that you can increase your fuelperks! balance.

**On a side note I apologize for the tardiness of this post. We have been without power at our house for almost 72 hours (as of Tuesday) thanks to Hurricane Irene. Thankfully we are all safe. We have a generator running that I have my refrigerators and deep freeze connected to in addition to a few lamps and a computer. When the generator isn’t running I don’t have access to the internet. I apologize if you leave me a comment and I don’t respond in a timely manner. I am not very optimistic that we will be regaining power soon thanks to what you see in the picture outside of our neighborhood. It isn’t a great picture, but yes, that is a tree across a power line and the road and no sign of Dominion Power anywhere nearby. I am not complaining, things could be much worse.
