Cub Foods Shopping List 7/25 – 7/31/10

Cub Foods’ weekly deals include the items advertised in their sales flyer, but also include another 4 pages of deals that are exclusively advertised on their website. If you match the advertised promotion on the back page of the sale flyer with an unadvertised promotion on Kraft dairy products and a lot of coupons, then you could get a steal on cheese.

Since Cub Foods’ stores accept manufacturer-issued coupons up to 3 months past their expiration date (and in some cases up to 5 or 6 months past) some of those referenced on this list are expired. If you are new to Pocket Your Dollars, then learn to read this shopping list. If you are having issues, troubleshoot problems printing coupons here.

Remember that this is a starting list of deals for the week. As readers leave comments with bargains they found at their local store, we get emails with deal ideas, or we read about other deals across the blogosphere, we will update this list. Items that are added throughout the week will be noted as NEW. Items whose final price changes as a result of a new or modified coupon scenario will be noted as UPDATED. At least once this week we will send out a reminder to come back and check this list for the hottest new deals.

Your turn: What deal ideas do you have for the overlapping Kraft promotions? Do you see any other great deals that we missed?

**UPDATE** Buy 10 select Kraft items, Get $5 off your current grocery order

Personally, I don’t see any items within a buy range with this promotion alone. However, the Buy 5 or more select Kraft dairy products, get $5 off your next grocery order deal is also running right now (it’s an unadvertised deal, but has been going at Cub and now folks are seeing advertisements for it at Cub too). If your ten items includes at least 5 of the advertised cheese products – singles, chunk, shredded or string cheese, then you’ll get $5 off your current grocery order plus a coupon for $5 off a future grocery order.

You may have some stray Kraft coupons, including free lunch meat, $1 off Ritz crackers from Facebook or many $1 off 2 item coupons from the Make It Easy, Take it Easy home mailer that was available for request in March. It’s been reported that some Kraft items have $1/1 peelie coupons on them which would make this deal even better. Note that 100 Calorie snack packs are excluded from this promotion so none of those coupons can be used.

The only deal idea I’ve put together is one that uses coupons that are currently available to all of us. This deal scenario assumes that the Deli Deluxe singles are included in the promotion, but I have not had that confirmed or denied yet. (When you shop and notice, please let us know). The deal does assume you print 10 coupons, which requires 5 computers and is more than many folks have access to. So, you can substitute up to 5 of the items for any of the other non-dairy items advertised on the back page and still participate in the two overlapping promotions.

Pocket Your Dollars’ reader SarahBeth left a comment with a few expired coupons that you may be able to use with this promotion:
- Deli Deluxe Cheese from 3/21 Smart Source insert
- Oscar Mayer Deli Meats from 3/7 and 5/16 Smart Source insert
- Maxwell House Coffee from 3/21 and 5/16 Smart Source insert
- Pudding/Jello from 4/11, 6/6 and 6/20 Smart Source insert
- Nabisco Crackers from 5/16 Smart Source insert

***Deal idea***
(This deal assumes that Deli Deluxe Kraft singles are included in the Kraft singles that are on sale for $2.49 and part of the Buy 10 items, get $5 off your next order promotion)
Buy 10 Deli Deluxe Cheeses for $2.49 each
Use ten $1/1 Deli Deluxe Cheese printable coupons (you’ll need more than one computer to print 10 copies)
Plus, get $5 off instantly for buying 10 qualifying items (assuming these qualify)
Spend $9.99, get $5 off your next order for buying 5 or more qualifying Kraft dairy products
Final price: $0.49 each after coupons, instant savings and money off your next order
