Just returned from my last trip to Shaw's this week. There were unbelivable deals like hummus that they paid me to leave the store with.

I did 4 transactions...

I got

8 jars of planter's nuts
1 package kraft Select cheese
3 kraft bbq sauces
3 Kraft salad dressings
4 Jars vlassic garlic select pickles
6 tubs of tribes hummus
4 bags tostoto's chips
2 tostotio's salsa's
6 bags of marshmellows
1 box honey bunches of oats
2 Oscar Mayer beef bologona
2 oscar mayer hot dogs
2 bags of salad greens
1 container of blueberries
1 container of strawberries
3 pounds of bananas
a pile of koolaide... purchased as qualifying items for a promo

total cash out of my pocket? $10 and change
 
Tell you what, I'll trade you my half filled cup of individually wrapped starlight mints (which sadly enough might end up being my dinner) for a bag of chips and salsa.
 
Damn, Jean! The thrill of the hunt, backed up with awesome results!

You are the First Lady of the Ferengi! :laugh: :thumbsup:

do you have Shaws or Star market'or Osco drug down your way ? They're really making a push to move up the ranks of supermarket chains with too good to ignore deals.

Another good resource for info about all the deals in a ton of stores ,this site also has an awesome coupon resource database,very time saving!

I've bought cases that appeared to be used before from Newegg. In November 2006, I got one that had damage not evident in the packaging - meaning it wasn't in the packaging when it was damaged.

hopefully they refunded your money and made it right.

Times are getting tough for a lot of people, there are lots of wealthy young people here but there are also a lot of guys with kids, young families that can use all the extra savings they can get.

I don't think you posted in the right thread.
 
:thumbsup:, but being a family of two, most of your haul woulda ended up moldy, stale, trashed, or given away at my house.

But, You go girl! :beer:

What's the shelf-life on those bad boys because it will be a long time before I use/need them?

No. I'm serious. I really think you should start a blog. It would be a much better format for sharing this information with those who are interested.

Think about it - you could put links in your sigs on the deals boards you post on. If you do some daily updates there and link to a deal or two or something like that - the people who are interested would be able to go there and share in comments, etc. If you're lucky, you could grow the site a bit and add Google AdSense which would actually get you some revenue.

Then maybe in your post you'd be saying you got it all for free as the $10 came out of your AdSense revenue.

On a site like that, you'd probably be more likely to attract the type of person who may click on ads for deals or something similar vs. other sites.
