Acme Shoppers: Gather Up Your Coupons!

There is a great Catalina Deal starting on Friday 10/31/08

“Spend $30 and save $15 on your next shopping trip when you spend $30 or more on participating products in a single transaction using your Acme SuperCard. Offer valid 10/31-11/6. Coupon received at checkout is good on your next shopping order and must be redeemed prior to expiration date on coupon.”

The $15 catalina is reported to be in the form of 3 $5 Catalinas.

Why am I telling you this now?  Because many of the coupons circulating for these items expire ON 10/31/08 or 11/1/08.  To take maximum advantage of this deal, you will need to make sure to be at your Acme on Friday or Saturday!! I’ll be figuring out my deals by the expiration date and making a quick run to Acme on Friday to do the deal. That will give me the rest of the week to figure out more deals! 

With any luck, there will be more coupons in this Sunday’s paper (the list isn’t out yet)

So that’s it!  This gives you plenty of time to work up some moneymakers or at least some “break evens”.  At first glance, it looks like the things to buy are the Betty Crocker Potatoes, Progresso Broths, Lipton Teas, and the Knorr/Lipton Side Dishes.  Those are the only ones that seem to really have the potential to turn in to moneymakers.  But even if it isn’t a moneymaker, you can get some really cheap groceries by rolling your Catalinas!

So if you have fallen behind on cliping/sorting your coupons…GET BUSY!
