As mentioned in another post, Food Lion's Big Deal is on this week AND next week (until 7/30). The Big Deal breaks down as such:
Buy 10 items, get $5 off
Buy 20 items, get $10 off
Buy 30 items, get $15 off
That's $0.50 off each item, but unlike Kroger, Food Lion's ad on the shelf or in the paper only shows the PRE Big Deal price, so whatever is written in ad/on the shelf automatically deduct an extra $0.50 (but you MUST buy the above-listed increments to get the extra $$ off..much like the "buy 5, save 5" at Kroger).
These coupon matches are for this week, as I am not sure exactly what will be on the deal next week. Judging from the past, items did NOT change from week to week, but as with any business--you cannot bank on a grocery store to be consistent haha (if you have been following me you will know my complaints about Kroger's seemingly "make up the price at each store" policy ugh). BUT for so many reasons I like Food Lion better and they seem like they would be consistent so I will check next week's prices next week :)
First off, as I went to the store yesterday morning around 8:30am, I let the cashiers and the manager know I was only scoping out potential deals for my coupon blog and they were super accommodating and actually, a couple of them seemed interested to look into what I had been writing. Assuming this does not negatively affect the store's impression of couponers and/or me personally, I'll take that as a compliment :)
So, let's get to the list. Obviously, this is not extensive, and some of these prices may not seem great, but for people who aren't extreme they are comparable yet there are some really good deals, too!!
Items on the Big Deal (7/17-7/23): Final price reflects the Big Deal sale ($0.50 off each item)
:Pringles--on sale $5 for 3--use a store coupon from coupon machine** to take $1 off those 3 but pair with a manufacturer coupon from 6/30 Red Plum for $1 off 4 and pay $4.67 for 4 ($1.17 each) BUT after BD (Big Deal) savings which will deduct $0.50 off each ($2 total) you will pay $2.67 for all 4, that's $0.67 per can!
**This coupon is a Food Lion coupon, and although there is some contention as to whether you can 'stack'--in my experiences, you can because one is a store coupon and one is a manufacturer coupon and the store coupon does not state otherwise (it does not say "not to be combined with..." so...there's my take). IF you have trouble with the store q and man. q together, you will still get a great deal of $0.83/can if you then only buy 3 and don't use the man. q.
:Mt. Olive Pickles-- on sale 2 for $4, on BD sale for $1.50 each
--use the $0.50/1 from the 6/30 Smart Source to pay $1 per jar (these were bigger, > 16oz)
: Herbal Essences-- if you still have those awesome $5 off 2 Clairol items q from the 7/7 P&G then these will be completely FREE this week. The sale is $2.99, but take $0.50/each with the BD sale, and price drops to $2.49 so use that Clairol q here to get free shampoo/conditioner/stylers :)
: Fiber One bars--on sale 2 for $5, on BD sale 2 for $4
--use $0.50/1 from the 7/14 Smart Source and pay $1.50
:Hormel Compleats--2 for $4, on BD sale for $1.50 each
--use $1.50/3 from 7/14 Smart Source and pay $1 each OR use $1/1 Hormel Sandwich makers and pay $0.50 for those (not sure which insert this was from)
:Tyson Chicken Tenders Family Pack Bag (Frozen)-- on sale for $4.99, on BD sale $4.49
--use $1/1 Food Lion coupon from machine AND a man. q from the 7/14 Smart Source and pay just $2.49 for the bag! Or, $3.49 without one of those q's
:Febreze small candles--$2.99 on sale, $2.49 on BD sale
--use the $3/2 Febreze products from the 7/7 P&G and pay $1/candle (I know I got a bunch on clearance but that was only one scent and this is a really good price for non-clearance!!)
:General Mills cereals (many included, but at least Golden Grahams, Honey Nut and Multi-Grain Cheerios, Lucky Charms)--on sale 2 for $5, on BD sale 2 for $4
--there are SO. MANY. COUPONS. for General Mills cereals but I have figured the average will give you about $0.50 off each box so you'll pay ~$1.50 box with coupons BUT there are some good printables on Pillsbury.com for these brands (about $0.60-$0.85 off each) so you might get as low as $1.15 per box! I have a couple printable for Golden Grahams for $0.85 off each, so we will see!
:Nature Valley Granola bars--on sale 2 for $5, on BD sale for 2 for $4
--use the $1 off 2 from the coupon machine AND $0.50/1 from one of the June inserts and pay $1 per box :)
:Always Pads and Tampax Radiant--on sale for $3.99, on BD sale for $3.49
--use the high-value $2 off one box from the 7/7 P&G and pay just $1.49/box!
I do not have coupon matches for the following items (either I could not find any or more likely, there are none!) but these are still great deals on the Big Deal sale: (all prices reflect the BD sale of $0.50 off each item!)
:Oscar Meyer hot dogs will be $1.50/pack
:Cheetos/Fritos will also be $1.50/pack
:Bush's Baked Beans/Grillin Beans will be $1.17/can--these are the family cans!
:Pasta Roni will be $0.50/box!!
:Kellogg's cereals will be $2/box
:Pillsbury cake mixes--I am really excited about these--will be $0.75/box but as low as $0.49/box
--I found an endcap with Pillsbury Stars and Stripes flavor on sale for $0.99 but after the $0.50 off for the BD sale, will be $0.49!!!
:Velveeta Cheesy Skillets will be $1.50/box
:Capri Sun boxes will be $1.50/box
:French's Yellow Mustard or Spicy Brown Mustard will be $1/bottle
--there were some coupons floating around for $0.50/a bottle of the Spicy Brown, but I can't figure out which insert they were in so, you may get these as low as $0.50/bottle :)
Also, these are NOT on the Big Deal but pretty cool:
:buy 2 packs of Snydor's pretzels or 2 packs of Lance crackers, get a FREE 2Liter of Food Lion soda. There are some various q's for Snydor's and Lance so this could be a good deal but without q's the price is $5 for all 3 items :)
I currently have two $1.50/a box of Lance ExtraFulls which are not $2.50 but $2.99, and I am unsure if they will 'count' for the 2L soda deal but I will ask when I go shopping if they can count since I will then only pay $2.98 for all 3 items :) However, I also have a $1 coupon off any purchase of cookies/crackers over $3.50 store coupon I can combine so I'll pay just $1.98 for all 3 items, yay!
:Ben and Jerry's Pints are on sale $2.50 each, use a coupon for $2.50 off 3 ( http://www.couponnetwork.com/printable-coupons ) and pay $5 for 3 ($1.67 each) and hey, that's pretty good!
