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.

Chicken Breast for $1.49/lb through 1/3/12 at Tom Leonard’s

I was out running some errands on the West End of Richmond this weekend and saw this sign outside of Tom Leonard’s advertising boneless skinless chicken breast (value packs) for $1.49/lb.  The lowest price I can usually snag them for at MARTIN’S is $1.99/lb.  I wasn’t able to pick them up when I saw the sign, but I am planning on buying several packages.  I will end up making a few freezer meals (like I did here) in addition to just freezing them in portion sizes for future meals.

Happy Shopping!

No Match-ups This Week

I have decided to take a week off from my MARTIN’S Top Deals Post.

We have had a busy week and have enjoyed catching up with family and friends in addition to reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ.  This is also a busy time for us because it is Natalie’s birthday.  (My oldest daughter.)

We have been really trying to avoid adding more clutter and things to our home. I have been purging clothes and toys for the last month. In an effort to cut down on things being brought into our home we were trying to focus on spending time together, and making memories. We have season passes to Busch Gardens and were able to take the kids down to Busch Gardens Christmas Town and enjoy lunch with Santa. Here is a family picture that we were able to have taken in front of Santa’s fireplace before the kids got to talk to Santa. The kids had a great day, enjoyed the shows and loved the decorations.  We were even able to catch-up with family and friends who were also there for the day. When we got home Natalie and Megan both told us, “Thanks for a great time and a fun lunch with Santa.”

 

Check back next week for match-ups, but until then have a Happy New Year.

Readers MARTIN’S Deals

I have been crazy (even more so than usual) these last two months so I am very thankful for readers who share tips with me.  In all honesty that is what I want this blog to be - a community where we share tips and deals we find so that we can help each other save some money. 

Free Batteries:

Erin L. sent me this picture and note to share an awesome battery deal she found at MARTIN’S.

“I found a few packages of these batteries at my Martins yesterday. They were on sale for $6.99 - I used two $2 Energizer coupons (there might be other mainstream ones) that were in the free booklets that were available at the store this fall, making my total $9.98 before tax. Best part was that the peelies had a code that when you entered two of them in a form on Energizer's facebook page you get a $10 Discover gas card. (although the fine print on facebook says you may use it anywhere Discover is accepted). Not every package had the peelies. It was super easy to submit online. It also said limit one card per household.”

I looked in the coupon database and found the $2 coupon that Erin mentioned – it was in the Fall into Savings Booklet.  If you didn’t find that booklet there are $1/1 coupons in the 11/20 SmartSource and $0.50/1 or $0.75/1 coupons in the 12/11 SmartSource insert. 

Erin is correct that you don’t have to use the Discover card just for gas, you can use it as a prepaid card anywhere that Discover is accepted.  I received one thanks to the Kellogg’s rebate and I used it towards a $10 purchase at Bath & Body Works. 

Dollar Doublers:

We have not received dollar doublers in Richmond in over a year, but in some areas they received them this week.  Reader Kristen (in Rising Sun, MD) sent me a note to let me know she had a few scenarios posted on her blog with some free and really inexpensive items thanks to the dollar doubler coupons. 

fuelperks! Bonus Coupon:

I read somewhere that areas that have the fuel discounts usually get a bonus fuel discount coupon while the areas that are instant savings stores generally get the dollar doublers.

I realized when I saw Kristen’s note that I forgot to mention the bonus $0.30/gallon coupon when you spend $50 in one transaction.  It was on the front of the weekly MARTIN’S ad that was in the Sunday paper – this coupon did not appear in the sales ad that is available in the store.  If you have a $100 transaction and multiple coupons break-up your transaction into two transactions and you can get $0.60/gallon.  (That is a $12 fuel savings!)

***Don’t forget to check the fine print of the fuel program.  In Richmond, VA our program is a little different that other areas.  There are exclusions (in all areas) of items that can not count towards fuel discounts.  Gift cards, tobacco, alcohol, and milk are some of these items.  Here is a link to the Richmond fuel program details if you would like more specifics. 

 

Thanks again to Erin & Kristen for sending me the tips.  I hope that everyone finishes their holiday shopping painlessly and that you have a great holiday.

Merry Christmas!

MARTIN’S Top Deals for the Week of December 18th

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 your 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.

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.
