Martins Coupons and Deals for week of 11/28

UPDATE:
I stopped by Martins again and caught a few different things worth mentioning:

Giant Brand Cereal is on sale for $1.99 and when you buy 5, you get $5 off instantly.
Buy 5 at $1.99 = $9.95
Save $5 instantly
Pay $4.95 for 5 boxes of cereal - less than $1.00 a box - THAT'S MY STOCK UP PRICE CUT OFF
Grande Tortilla Chips are on sale for B1G1F at $2.99
Use 2 $1.00 off coupons from the 9/11 SS
Pay $.99 for 2 bags of Tortilla Chips
Smart Balance Milk $3.00
Use either the $.75 off coupon here (will double to $1.50) or from the 11/20 SS
Pay $1.50 for a half gallon of milk

It's Martin's Monday, well Tuesday really.  Running a little behind... but don't worry, you aren't missing much at Martin's this week.

Here are the coupons from the machine for this week:
  • Save $.50 on your next purchase of $5 or more from our Carry Out Cafe
  • Save $.50 on your next purchase of any Book or Magazine
  • Save $1.00 on your next purchase of $10 or more from our Meat Department
  • Save $.50 on your next purchase of $7 from our Health and Beauty Care Department (combine with sale on back page)
I don't have a whole lot of fun things to list this week, here are a few deals:

Francesco Rinaldi Pasta Sauce - $1.00
Use $.35 off coupon (doubles to $.70) from 11/6 RP
Pay $.30 for a jar of sauce (only good for the To Be Healthy variety) which I didn't see, but it is listed in the ad.  I'm gonna look better tomorrow. STILL CAN'T FIND IT
Duncan Hines Cake Mix $1.25
Use the $.50 coupon (doubles to $1.00) from the 11/6 SS
Pay $.25 per box
Giant White Bread $1.00
Decent Price if you need bread

I did notice that they have a new Coupon/Healthy Ideas Book out for Winter.  Look for it by the 1st produce stand. 

Another Victoria's Secret Deal - Free Panties tomorrow only...

Rummaging through Facebook and saw that Victoria's Secret is giving their facebook fans a free pair of "It's Showtime" panties tomorrow only.  Go here and like them on facebook and then click on the link to print out your coupon for a free pair.  Remember, tomorrow only...

Why is ONE pair of panties called a PAIR which obviously means TWO?  Anyone know that?

Awesome Victoria's Secret Catalog Deal

I usually don't order from Catalogs, but I was peaking through the Victoria's Secret Catalog that I got the other day and noticed an awesome deal...  Right inside the cover were 4 coupons to use on any order:

  • Free Scarf with Sweater Purchase
  • Free Secret Rewards Card with $10 purchase
  • Free Slippers with PJ Purchase
  • $10 off your order
The last one is a great deal... Order something that is just over $10, use your certificate code on the back of the coupon and get $10 off.  Plus you will qualify for the Free Secret Rewards Card (order by the 30th of November).  If you spend more than $25.00 they are offering free shipping as well.  You can only use the code online, not in store.

Go through ebates to earn 4% cash back as well. 

Just thought I'd pass it along.

Free Apparel from Sears Outlets on Tuesdays...

Don't forget, tomorrow is Tuesday and it's free apparel day. 
Check out the previous post on this awesome deal here.

I got a such a cute Land's End shirt last Tuesday and can't wait to find something new and free tomorrow. 

Elf Workshop at the Christiana Mall tomorrow

Starting tomorrow and for the next 3 Tuesdays, the Christiana Mall is having an ELF-ACADEMY.  It is for kids 6 and under and after completing the tasks (crafts, stations, songs) your child will become a certified Elf. 

Sounds really interesting, cute and fun.  Check out this link for more information.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Wow, the last few days have just flown by and I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving with friends and family. 

I'm sure you've all been keeping track of Black Friday Deals and getting ready for Cyber Monday. 

On Thursday, I went to CVS and Walgreen's to pick up a bunch of freebies... and I took my Father along.  I think he was impressed to see me in action as he usually just gets to hear about my trips after the fact. 

Here's my score from that trip.  It turned out to be a $2.XX Money Maker Trip after ECB's and Register Rewards...

I did go to Walmart this afternoon today, looking for the Brother Sewing Machine, but none were in stock... oh well.  Surprisingly, the store seemed clean, orderly and shelves were stocked.  I'm not sure what it looked like early this morning, but it looked good this afternoon.

What were you able to find?

    Free Apparel from Sears Outlets on Tuesdays...

    So I passed over this last week because I didn't think we had a Sears Outlet nearby, but apparently the Newark, DE Sears Outlet (which I thought was only appliances) sells other items as well including clothing. 

    On Tuesdays, if you have a Shop Your Way Rewards Card (Sears/Kmart's reward card, which you can get at either store for free) you can get a free apparel item from the Sears Outlet.  I went to the Sears Outlet Facebook Page and that is where I saw that Newark, DE is a participating store. 

    So sad I missed out on this the last two weeks, but super excited to take part next week.

    Thanks, Hip2Save for reposting this and making sure I was paying attention!!!

    Milk $3.29 a gallon at Walgreens this week!!!

    Here's a great deal on Milk at Walgreen's this week:

    One Gallon Milk
    $3.29
    One Gallon Milk
    SALE
    thru Nov 19
    Limit 2, except in NM. Excludes flavored varieties.
     





    1%, 2% and Whole Milk are all included.

    That is the cheapest I can find around here.  Martins and ACME were up close to $4.00 the other day. 

    I'd say stock up, but I'm not exactly sure if you can do that with Milk.  I know you can freeze it if you take some out (to make room for expansion) but I don't know what it does to the taste/flavor once it is thawed.

    The Rising Sun Branch phone number 410-658-4025.  You can also check out the public library's website for more classes and at different branches here.

    Thursdays at the Mall... 11/10 edition

    It's Christmas time at the Christiana Mall.  I think they forgot about Thanksgiving for some reason... I mean, it is very pretty and well decorated, it's just a little early.

    And with Christmas comes all of the people shopping.  Crowds of people. 
    Here are some things going on that you might be interested in:
    • Panera Bread is now open at the Mall.  You can only get to it from the outside and it is next to Macy's.  It's a shame they didn't find a way to get an entrance from the mall side too...  Kinda chilly to walk around.
    • Don't forget to stop by Godiva and pick up your free piece of chocolate for November... Want to know how to get a free piece, check out this post.  Read #4.
    • Victoria's Secret is having a sale, where if you purchase $10 worth of Participating Products, you can get a rewards card good for $10, $50, $100 or $500.  You need to make your initial purchase before the end of November and then you have to wait until December to redeem it (and find out how much is on your card, but at the least  it will be $10 and cover your initial expense).  Click here for more information.
    • Pictures with Santa start on Saturday.... Oh boy!  I'll admit, they did a nice job decorating and I'm sure it will make for beautiful, over priced pictures.  Here is the pricing for the photo packages.  If you really want to join in on his start at the mall, that morning from 10am to 12pm they are having a welcoming party with music, games and giveaways in the Target Courtyard.  Sounds cute.
    • Pottery Barn is having a class on how to decorate for the holidays.  If you attend you get a coupon for 10% off store items.  I'm not sure if you have to pay for the class or not.  Sounds interesting.  Click here for more information.

    80% off at Restaurant.com - $2.00 for a $25.00 Gift Certificate

    Starting today, Restaurant.com is offering 80% off gift certificates... making a $25.00 gift certificate only $2.00. 

    Good news is there are a few new restaurants to try in Cecil County, Bad news is, they aren't eligible for the discount (BOO!!!)  Still might be worth a try though.  Here's what I saw that is new:
    Chesapeake Inn
    River Shack
    Wellwood

    To take advantage of this deal, click on the link below and start shopping.  Use the promo code HAM to get the discount.

    Restaurant.com Weekly Promo Offer 600 X 400

    Money in the bank.

    Free 10x13 Wall Print at Walmart...

    Here is a coupon for a free 10x13 wall print for free at Walmart.  It sounds like the freebie is only for 1 person, so I'm not sure what they would charge for more but still could be a great deal for a quick photo shoot. 
    I've never done pictures at Walmart before, but this has me interested.  Has anyone ever used the PictureMe Company before?

    Thanks, Hip2Save
