Wednesday afternoons are when I get my bi-weekly delivery from Dominion Harvest. I know that you think that I am a little crazy to get excited about produce, but I can’t get over how much I love it! One of the things that I really like is that the delivery is challenging us to try food that I normally wouldn’t have bought and it is allowing me to save some fresh vegetables for later use.

My husband just told me about this deal that he saw on slick deals. I snagged mine and wanted to share it with you.
This is evidently a “hidden deal” that isn’t showing up in the local listings. If you follow my link I do get a referral credit – thanks in advance!
There are some restrictions so make sure you read the fine print before you make your purchase.

There has been a huge surge of interest in how to save more money at the store with coupons these days thanks to things like job losses and reality TV shows like TLC’s “Extreme Couponing”. It is my desire to show you how to Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15736302218231653405noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204198815251889513.post-75759998965265763172011-05-18T00:00:00.001-04:002011-05-18T00:00:19.813-04:00MARTIN’S Save $3 Instantly When You Buy 3 Select Oscar Mayer Products This was not in the sales flyer, but it was in the middle of my 5/15 SmartSource insert (that is why you have a picture instead of a print graphic). This promotion is running through 5/28 so we have two weeks to get this deal. I want to thank reader Erin who sent me this comment from my top deals post: There is mention of the $3 off any 3 new Oscar Meyer products @ Martins in this past weeksAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15736302218231653405noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204198815251889513.post-59026202951682365282011-05-17T22:55:00.001-04:002011-05-18T13:13:39.083-04:00MARTIN’S - Kellogg’s Cereal Deal I flipped through the ad three times before I saw this deal hidden towards the bottom of the fourth page. Remember – $6 off of four boxes means $1.50 off each box in addition to any coupons that you have. This can be a great way to start stocking up on cereal. I generally try to pay $1 or less for a small box of cereal (9-11oz), if it is a medium box (14-16 oz) I will allow myself $1.25.
