New Food Lion moneymaker found
I was cruising Food Lion looking for coupons and I found a great deal! Quaker Oatmeal Pancake mix is 2/$5. A month-ish ago, there were printables for this from coupons.com for $2/1. I really wanted to try this since the whole grain pancake mix is so much better than the other white kinds, but I saved these, waiting for a good deal. Found one! Stack this mq with a Food Lion Guiding Stars $1 printable (which this qualifies for) for a $.50 overage.
Yummy!!

FREE MILK coupons!
For those of you that drink milk (we try to drink mostly soy milk, but do get milk every now and again) There are free milk coupons at coupons.com! These are good in all states but HI and AK, and can be used on any milk- it doesn't exclude organic. (there is a max value, but it's pretty high). It's a free gallon of milk with $100 grocery purchase (before coupons) and a free half gallon of chocolate milk wyb a gallon of white milk.
Click on the banner to the left for coupons.com. Enter zip code 63090. These won't last long, so go now!

Food Lion, Target and Kroger- oops, Walgreens too
I am really disappointed in Kroger. When it comes to playing the advertising game, no one is better than Kroger. Their ads are already notorious for saying things like "MEGA EVENT! Buy 10 and get $5 off!!" Prices are listed. And in teensy print: "prices already reflect discount". So here you are thinking you're getting an awesome deal...and it's really just an ok deal.
Well with this new P&G deal going on this week, it's even worse! Instead of buying the 4 items required to get your $4 off P&G, you have to actually buy $4 more of something else in the same order to get the $4 off the P&G products. It is SO confusing! I neglected to read the teensy print (which by the way, didn't even make it onto the posters around the store), and so my $4 didn't come off. The CSR and I went rounds trying to figure out what happened, and when we realized what happened, he didn't know how to fix it. I said, what if I go get $4 of something and then we discount it $4? So I went to grab something and got some oatmeal (the most expensive oatmeal I've ever bought. $4.35 for a box!) and went back up to the CS desk. He was really busy, so he just opened the register and handed me $4 in cash. Of course, now I have this oatmeal, so I went over to the self-register and purchased the oatmeal. So I didn't come out too great. Boo. Unhappy with Kroger. The only way to make a good deal out of this P&G thing is to "buy" stuff that you have free coupons for, which the $4 will apply to, then use your coupons so that the $4 actually does show up as $ off the P&G items, as they claim it is. The way the ad reads, it really is false advertising.
ARGH!
