MARTIN’S Top Deals for the Week of October 23rd

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.

If an item is part of the weekly fuelperks! deals I list the final price as if you buy the necessary quantity of just that item in order to receive the deal (if you have to buy 7 I list the final price after sale, coupons, and fuel discount as if you bought 7 of that one item). That is not what you have to do in order to receive the fuelperks! rewards. You can mix & match any of the items listed in the same category. This may make you out of pocket higher if you add in items of various cost, but in the long run you are hopefully buying items that your family can use and redeeming your fuelperks! towards saving money at the gas station.

I am including in my match-ups a new e-coupon service called SavingStar.  Check out their site for how it works, but in a nutshell it is a free service that you just have to add your store loyalty cards into your account and you are set.

If you are wondering if you can combine e-coupons from SavingStar and paper coupons this is what their site states:

Do SavingStar eCoupons stack with in-store discounts or manufacturer's coupons?

SavingStar eCoupons will work whether or not you combine them with other services' coupons, but they are not intended to be used this way. Generally, manufacturers state that it is against their policies for shoppers to redeem more than one manufacturer's coupon for the same purchase. Using in-store coupons in combination with SavingStar eCoupons is not a problem.
In the future, we may implement mechanisms to limit the combination of SavingStar eCoupons with other manufacturer coupons.

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.

Aetna Healthy Food Fight

Thanks to a friend I discovered a new blog – SheSpeaks.   They have teamed up with Aetna to throw a Healthy Food Fight – to spread the message of healthy eating and living in America.

Unfortunately I couldn’t get a recipe submitted in time to try to win the trip to New York and meet Bobby Flay, but check it out for some great ideas and recipes. If you find one you really like cast your vote and maybe that lucky submitter will get to meet Bobby. :)

If you have been a regular visitor of my blog you may have seen me share recipes or even dabble with menu planning a little here and there.  I have also mentioned a few times about my own journey to try to lose the weight I gained from my last two pregnancies.

In my effort to lose weight and feel healthier I went to cooking more recipes from scratch and really paying attention to what we were eating on a regular basis.  A lot of these things were simple things like buying whole grain pastas and bread (I haven’t found a whole grain recipe I like so I am still buying bread).  I was already loading my freezer with frozen veggies and I made sure that the ones that we were buying were just plain veggies and not smothered in a sauce.  I also started to try some new things, like quinoa and barley.  I liked them, but have not completely converted everyone in my family over to these new items. 

I have already found some great ideas with some of the submitted recipes at the Healthy Food Fight and can’t wait to try some.  Take a minute and check out Healthy Food Fight for some ideas of quick and healthy meals that you can fix for your family.
