    Default Central Indiana Shoppers

    Just got through with all three main circulars (Kroger, Marsh and Meijer). Not excited about much of anything. Maybe I'm burnt out from the multiple Marsh trips last weekend. I just can't find much of anything to make me want to go shopping. Am I missing any good deals? I know Marsh is having a Mega Madness sale but just not enough there to motivate me, LOL.

    I am going to Marsh to get ten boxes of granola bars but thats about it!
    Im going to Kroger to get raspberries and bananas!

    Like you- I am overloaded on shopping fro triple coupons at Marsh. I am wondering if Kroger will do a weekend of doubling or tripling. They better not do it while I am in the hospital june 14th-18th or there will be hell to pay!

    LOL, you and me both Holly. Teresa and I leave for Panama City Beach next Friday. I'm going to take my couponing skills to the gulf coast and try my luck in the land of NO DOUBLE COUPONS. YIKES!

    Marsh does have the buy 10 save $5 mega sale PLUS an additional $5 must be used June 9-15). That said, I'm struggling to come up with 10 items I'd even want to purchase. Maybe (maybe!) the lunchables at 99¢ ea (not sure the lunchables with fruit cpn applies, but if it does, they'd be free). If we use the jello temptations $1 IP, they'd be 99¢ each. And the Reser's potato 55¢ IP makes those 44¢ each. If you like tropicana or trop50, I think those can be picked up for $1.49 with cpn (double check). Like I said, struggling to come up with 10 items I would want at the price I want to pay.

    Oh, and a good price at Marsh is Domino 4lb sugar $1.98, use 75¢/2 (buy two and it breaks down to about $1.60/4lbs, or 40¢/lb. Aldi sells 5lbs for $2.49 or about 50¢/lb)

    OTOH...
    Aldi has some good fruit deals this week.
    -blueberries $1.39
    -kiwi 89¢/6pk
    -pineapple (whole) $1.49

    And some other good deals are;
    -flour tortilla 10pks 99¢ (these freeze well; 2 pks to a freezer bag, lay flat to freeze; thaw at room temp, NOT in microwave)
    -frozen broccoli 99¢ (thought the texture or taste would be off, but it's really good)
    -frozen corn 65¢
    -wheat bread 99¢ (it's MUCH better than Kroger brand, imho. Soft like Wonder bread.)
    -sweetened condensed milk $1.29 (super price!)
    -ice cream cones (wafer) 99¢
    -raisins $1.69/box (Kroger value is $2.69)
    -bananas 44¢/lb (Dole brand)

    And I'm not seasoned in garbage bag stock up prices yet, but Aldi does have 80ct kitchen bags for $4.99 and they are very good quality (thick, strong)

    I am not picking up much either. I might grab some of the pirogies at Meijer using the $1 off in the All You. That makes them like 67c each, plus when you get three of them you get the free ice cream. Not super keen on Meijer ice cream, but I am hoping I can snag a lactose free version for DH.

    Other than that, and maybe some cherries at Kroger, I am not seeing much at all.

    Me niether... I picked up Sweet Bay Ray's Dipping sauce today at Meijer with a Raincheck. I also got 4 bags of the Or-Ida Sweet Potato Fries. They were 3/$7- buy 3 get 1 free. I used 4 $1 coupons some I got 4 for $3. Other than that, I'm just going to pick up fresh vegetables/fruits and milk, eggs. Should be a low oop month! (I say that and Kroger will have some crazy coupon deal that I blow my budget on once again! )
