Brookshire's (October 7th-13th)

As part of The Grocery Gathering at BeCentsAble, I report on the Brookshire’s weekly advertisement.

You do need a Brookshire’s “Thank You” card for most sale prices. The card is free and can be obtained at the customer service desk.

Brookshire’s locations in Central Mississippi are currently TRIPLING manufacturer’s coupons up to and including 60 cents. Only one of each kind of coupon will TRIPLE, all others will be redeemed at face value. According to policy, coupons that say "Do Not Double or Triple" will be redeemed at face value only. Internet coupons up to $1.99 will be accepted.

Brookshire's also has a "Priced Right Guarantee", meaning if your item doesn't ring up correctly, you get it FREE (Excludes Dairy, Tobacco, & Alcohol). Don't address this at the cash register. Go to Customer Service after your transaction.

Brookshire's gives you .05 credit per reusable bag.

Tip of the Day: October 7th

Keep your eyes peeled for coupons for FREE gift cards when you transfer a prescription.

Walgreens, CVS, Target, and Rite-Aid all put out these glorious coupons from time to time. If you need to fill/refill a prescription anyway, why not get paid to do so? I love having these gift cards on hand to reduce my out-of-pocket expenses, and the prescription is tax-deductible.

Brookshire's also honors these competitor offers, and that has bought me many groceries.

If you're really lucky, you might come across one for a NEW prescription, but that's a little rare.

Tip of the Day: October 6th

Did you know that you can use 1 "Store" coupon and 1 Manufacturer's coupon together on 1 item? This is called "stacking", and it's totally legit!

Walgreens, CVS, and Target are really great about this. They offer lots of store coupons in booklets, in their ads, on receipts, online, and more.

In the event that you may be getting an item FREE or even earning overage on the item, make sure you give the manufacturer's coupon first. The store coupon actually adjusts the price like a sale, and it would make the manufacturer's coupon "beep" (which might make a cashier not accept it...).

$10 off Snow White on DVD

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is releasing on DVD and Blu-Ray October 6th! I'm really excited about this because I have a pretty decent Disney movie collection that is SERIOUSLY lacking some Snow White!

We rented it from the library recently and it is such a great classic! Movies like this never get old to me--and I can't wait to see the higher quality this version will likely have.

Even BETTER--there's a $10 off coupon HERE. And it doesn't seem to have a print limit yet, so you might want to get some extra for Christmas gifts maybe?

The coupon is only valid THIS WEEK!

The cheapest price I've seen is at Toys R Us for $19.99 and that includes the DVD and Blu-Ray versions.

***I just read at Couponing 101 that it will be $19.96 at Wal-Mart.***

I love the little applesauce cups! Keeps me from throwing out half a jar that molded.
