Rainbow Foods, Copps, Pick N Save Shopping List 11/1 – 11/7/09

These are the best deals I see for Roundy’s stores (Rainbow Foods, Pick N Save and Copps) this week, assuming you shop on Wednesday and have the face value of your coupon doubled.  Welcome to all the Twin Cities Live viewers that will check out this list after the segment airing Tuesday at 3 pm on KSTP 5.  You’ll find the deal idea I discuss on-air at the very bottom of this list.  Thanks too to Brandy who helped me put this together.

Learn how-to have your coupons doubled in value here. If you are new to Pocket Your Dollars, learn to read this shopping list. For any printable coupon you should be able to print each one twice from a single computer.  If you have trouble try the troubleshooting suggestions found here.

Your turn: What cereal and Procter & Gamble deal scenarios are you putting together?

Incredible Meal Deal

Buy Cooks Ham portion ($1.99/lb and average ham is 9-16 pounds),
Get Jennie-O 10-12 lb hen turkey, dozen Roundy’s eggs, and 12 oz Roundy’s breakfast sausage free**
**Yes, this is an easy way to get one of your transactions to $25. However, I am going to pass on this deal for two reasons. My family won’t eat Cook’s ham and second, Cook’s ham has a rock bottom price of $0.99 per pound. A 9 pound ham is $9 more than rock bottom price which is nearly a wash for the turkey. That leaves you to be getting a great deal on eggs and sausage. If you get a larger ham, then this may not be a deal at all. Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble.

Buy 5 select General Mills cereals,
Get $5.00 off your current grocery order and a coupon for free milk coupon

These free milk coupons usually take their maximum value, $3.25 in this case, off your next grocery order regardless of the price of the milk. I’m not guaranteeing it will work that way, but it typically does for me.

Available coupons include:

Basic 4, Chex any, Fiber One any, Honey Nut Clusters any, Oatmeal Crisp any, Raisin Nut Bran any, Total any or Wheaties Cereal: $1/2 coupon from the 10/25 Smart Source
Cheerios (multiple varieties): $1/2 coupon from the 11/1 Smart Source insert

Total (multiple varieties): $0.75/1 coupon from the 11/1 Smart Source insert
Variety of cereals: $1/2 printable coupon (FF) or printable coupon (IE)

Final Price: Varies depending on what you buy**
**My target price is $1 per box of cereal. Since I don’t know the regular prices for everything I am not putting a deal idea together, but I’ll clue you in on how I’d calculate this in the store.

1. I’d add up the total value of the five cereals (I try and pick the ones priced right around $3)
2. I’d subtract $5 for the store promotion
3. I’d add up the value of my coupons for the cereals I bought and double it
4. I’d subtract the doubled value of the coupons
5. If my total was much higher than $5 I’d pass up the deal. OK, considering the value of the milk I might be okay with a total of $7 after coupons.

That said, I focus on using the highest value coupons I can like two $0.75/1 Multi-Grain Cheerios, two $0.75/1 Total and I have a $1 off Honey Nut Cheerio coupon from the sample I was recently sent. That is $8 in value when the coupons are doubled right there.
