Franz Bakery Outlet Shopping Trip. Great Bread Deals!

by Tina P. on May 6, 2013

in Money Saving Tips, Shopping Trips

A great place to stock up on bread is the Franz Bakery Outlet! They have great deals all week,  and Saturdays they mark down prices even lower. I stopped in Saturday and they had 4/$5 and 5/$5 deals! Here is a photo of what I picked up for only $10. (plus tax)!

Our local Franz Outlet Bakery offers a punch card and I try to buy as close to the $10 punch mark as I can. When buying discounted breads, you need to either use it right away or freeze it. With our large family, that is not a problem. They have a great selection (varies daily).  I have even seen ORGANIC and Gluten Free loaves on the clearance shelf!

These items were purhcased at the Coeur d’Alene, ID store located at:

1220 N Government Way (Harrison)
Coeur D Alene, ID 83814

Money Saving Tip when Buying Meat!

by Tina P. on March 8, 2013

in Money Saving Tips

cube steak

Yesterday, Super 1 Foods had a huge meat sale and a reader sent us a great money saving tip!  Her family loves Cube Steak and it is normally around $4.95lb! So, yesterday during the meat sale she picked up some London Broil for $2.78 lb and asked if the butcher would make it into Cube Steaks for her!  What a great money saving tip Tali! Thank you for sending that over!

If you did not get stocked up at the sale yesterday, check out the great buy you can get on 100% Natural (never frozen) Zaycon Foods Chicken Breasts!

Franz Bakery Outlet ~ Great Bread Prices!

by Tina P. on January 4, 2013

in Money Saving Tips

We have a local Franz Bakery Outlet and it is a great way to save money on bread. I always find a good selection of breads (sometimes organic) on discount. They have the best deals on Saturdays (some are as low as 3 for $2.00)! This is a picture of what I picked up last Saturday:

When buying discounted breads, you need to either use it within a couple days or freeze it. With our large family, we always go through it quickly. I also try to buy as close to the $10 or $20 mark to get the most for your money since you get a punch on your card for every $10 spent.

It’s Back To School Shopping Time! Are You Ready For Some Deals?

by Kari on July 15, 2012

in Money Saving Tips

It’s that time again! Back to school shopping is here! All the stores are popping out sales to try to get you to come in! You might have noticed a whole bunch of Back to School Posts coming out today.

We have partnered with some other bloggers to bring you a printable list of the best school supply deals from Kmart, Shopko, Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS, Staples, Office Depot, Office Max, Fred Meyer, Walmart, Toys R Us, and Target every week!

Our printable list feature will make your back to school shopping easier than ever! I have added a special spot on our Navigation Bar just for Back to School deals from all the stores so you can find them all in one place!

Once you click on “Back to School Deals and Coupons”, it will take you to all of the back to school deals, with the dates of each list at the top of each post (Such as Staples Back to School Deals 7/15-7/21).

With our printable list feature, you can go between stores and it will save your list until you print it, or clear it. You can check what you want from the Target Back to School List, then go into the Kmart (or any other store’s) Back to School List, and add items from each of them! Just keep going from store to store until you have everything you want on it!

The list I pictured above has items from Walgreens and Fred Meyer on it. I just check everything I want from every store I want to shop at, and the list keeps track of it all for me. When you are done, you will have one big list that has all of your Back to School stops all in one easy place so you are ready to head to the store!

Here is the printable version of that list I showed you above:

For your list it would say Fred Meyer Back to School Deals and Walgreens Back to School Deals (and whatever other stores you add to it), not the Fred Meyer and Walgreens Weekly Ad Match Ups like I used in this example. I will be separating all the Back to School stuff out to make things easier for you! :-)

If you really want to save time, you could even print the list of the good stuff you want to get from every store and just run to Walmart to price match everything! It will all be on one list so you don’t have to figure out what you are ad-matching from where!

Could it be any easier?

Be sure to check in with us every Sunday/Monday as we update all of the great buys you can get each week to help your Back to School budget go a little further!
