Package size and other odds and ends

As I was shopping today, I noticed something that I wanted to share with you.

I bought a large box of Kayem hotdogs because it’s getting to be “that season” and they were on sale for $8.99, according to the Market Basket circular.  When I picked up the box, I noticed that it was distinctly lighter than it used to be.  As I suspected, the weight is now 2.5 lbs. instead of 3 lbs. for the same price.

All companies do this from time to time.  To up their profit margin, they reduce the package size and present it as “new and improved.”  Do you remember a few years ago when the standard size of tuna cans went from 6 oz. to 5 oz.?  Or a couple of years ago when the standard size of a yogurt cup went from 8 oz. to 6 oz.?

We know that this happens, and all I would advise is that you stay aware of these things so you can make an informed decision about whether you want to stick to the brand or maybe try something generic instead.

**************************************************************************

Rite Aid is changing their coupon policy and will no longer allow a Buy One Get One Free coupon to be used in conjunction with a Buy One Get One Free sale.  This is a big bummer. You also may no longer use more than 4 of the same coupons at the same time, which I actually like because it will discourage “shelf clearers” (one of my coupon pet peeves.)  There are a couple of other changes which you can see HERE.

**************************************************************************

Also, if you have a chance to run over to Shaw’s today, there a couple of things that you shouldn’t miss this week.  Sale ends today.

Shaw’s coupon in the circular makes Skippy peanut butter $1 each for the 16 oz size.

Shaw’s coupon in the circular makes Ragu pasta sauce $1 each.

Ken’s marinade $1 off 1 coupon from a few weeks ago makes Ken’s Marinade FREE!

Ronzoni Veggie pasta $1 off 1 coupon from a couple of weeks ago makes it FREE!

Sweet Baby Rays’ BBQ sauce $1 off 2 coupon from last week makes it $.50 each when you buy 2!

Wacky Mac coupon for $1 off 2 makes Wacky Mac (on sale BOGO) $.21 each when you buy 2!

***********************************************************

My most recent effort to try to cut my food budget even further is an attempt to go to the store less.  I am going to try going only once per week (when possible) to avoid the inevitable impulse items.  Even if they’re veggies and fruit, they’re still things that I wouldn’t have bought if I hadn’t gone to the store, and it will force me to “shop in the freezer” more often.

***********************************************************

One more thing: I bought some bone-in chicken breasts at the store today for $1.19/lb.  I am going to attempt to break them down myself with the help of this video.  This is a first for me, so wish me luck!

Shopping without spending money

This morning I got a $50 Old Navy gift certificate for free.

No, of course, not much in the world is really “free” but I got this gift card without spending money.  All I did was use points that I had accumulated at MyPoints.com to purchase the gift card as a reward.

I love MyPoints because it pays me to do things I would be doing anyway, as well as for doing simple tasks.

Here’s how I use MyPoints:

• I print coupons through their website (they’re connected to Coupons.com.)  10 points per coupon redeemed plus 25 bonus points if I redeem 10 or more per month.
• I click through their website to do online shopping whenever possible and earn points that way.
• I receive “paid e-mails” which I simply have to click on to earn an average of 5 points each.  (No purchase necessary.)
• I chose to download their toolbar, and I get points for every search that I do per month.
• I also get paid for referring people to MyPoints, so if you’re feeling generous and want to use my link to join, please leave me a comment with your e-mail and I’ll send an e-mail your way.

If you choose to take advantage of the offers in MyPoints.com’s paid e-mails, you can accumulate points much faster, but if you’re just a “casual” user like me, you can expect to earn enough points for a $50 gift card every few months.  (If you’re not as patient, you can also get $25 gift certificates for fewer points.)

My good deal of the day today was courtesy of Moneysavingmom.com.  I got a pack of 140 Size 4 Pampers Cruisers Diapers for about $26 shipped from Amazon.  That’s about $.18/diaper.  The deal is also available for 160 size 3 diapers.  Check out the deal HERE.
