Bargain of the Week

Now is the time to stock those pantries! If you have a VG's grocery store near you (in Michigan check locations here) ...you are in luck this week.  They are having a buy 10 items get $5 off instantly at checkout promotion.

The featured items are: Pet Evaporated Milk $1.00
Folgers Coffee 10oz. size for $2.69
Hungry Jack Mashed potatoes 3 for $5
Hungry Jack pancake mix $1.99
Pillsbury Flour $1.79
Dunkin Donuts coffee for $7.99
Jiff Peanut butter for $1.99
Eagle Sweetened Condensed milk $2.29

These are a pretty good deal in and of themselves, but when you add in VG's double coupon policy it is irresistible. Did I forget to mention that VG's doubles coupons up to and including $1.00?

Okay so the best deal that I could put together was this:

2 Folgers Coffee                       $5.38
4 Hungry Jack potatoes            $6.68
2 Hungry Jack pancakes           $3.98
2 Jiff Peanut Butter                   $3.98
2 Smuckers Jam                        $6.00   ($3 each and not part of the deal, but I needed them for the Jiff Q)
   Subtotal                               $26.02




- Vg's promotion                    -$5.00
- 2 Folgers coupons                -$2.00
       $1 off 1 (11/7)
- Doubled Folgers                   -$2.00
2 Hungry Jack Potatoes         -$2.00
       $1 off 2 (11/7)
- Doubled Hungry Jack         -$2.00
-2 Hungry Jack pancakes      -$1.10
      $.55 off 1
- Doubled Hungry Jack         -$1.10
- 2 Jiff & Smuckers                -$2.00
      $1 off wyb both  (11/7)
-Doubled Jiff/Smuckers         -$2.00


Total                                     $6.82




Your deal maybe even better if you buy a different kind of Smucker's Jam...my family prefers the raspberry (w/ seeds)...I think the grape was cheaper. All in all not a bad deal to stock up on. You can only do the promotion once per transaction and I would watch to make sure that the your $1.00 coupons double...some of mine did not at first, but the cashiers were very helpful and corrected things quickly. Happy Shopping
