Farm Fresh Weekly Ads

Farm Fresh supermarket is a grocery store located in Virginia and North Carolina.  Each week we update deals for the Farm Fresh ad and match the current sales with coupons.   I also find deals in-store and using the Farm Fresh online shopping feature.  Depending on your area, you can have groceries delivered to your home and waiting for you at the store for pick-up.

Farm Fresh hours can vary but stores are usually open from 6am – midnight.

Farm Fresh pharmacy is also great when you’re picking up groceries.  Drop your prescription off, do your shopping and come back when you’re finished.  The pharmacist has always been friendly and answered all our questions.

Learn about the Farm Fresh Military Discount Policy – Present a Military ID for 10% off Farm Fresh Family Brand Products everyday.   And see the Farm Fresh Coupon Policy before shopping.

Make sure to check back each week for updates in the Farm Fresh weekly ads with a printable shopping list.  You don’t want to miss all the savings at your local Farm Fresh supermarket.

I decided to pop into Farm Fresh to get strawberries & cheese.  Most of the deals this week weren’t items I needed or wanted.  It was a very exciting trip as you can see!   I only used 5 coupons including a store coupon.  Other than possibly milk later this week & grapes from HT.  I’m done shopping.

Strawberries $2.49
1 Cheese Nips $1.89
1 Richfood Block Cheese $2.19
2 Sargento Cheese $2
1 Mission Tortilla Chips $2.79 – $1/1 peelie = $0.79
1 1/2 gal milk $2.19 – $0.50 store peelie = $1.69
2 Reach Floss FREE

Total Paid: $10.63
Total Saved: $8.50

Please let me know what you think of the new Printable List feature that I’ve added. This is my first week using the feature, so it may not look as pretty as next week.  Sorry about the spelling errors, it doesn’t spell check, I don’t think.  I also need to work on the organization, but I’m learning.  Hopefully everything posted.

Let me know if you find other deals or have corrections!

My Shopping Trips (02/09)

by Dana Zeliff on February 9, 20112011-02-09
in CVS, Farm Fresh Weekly Ads, Harris Teeter Weekly Ad, My Shopping Trip

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

I’ve been all over the place shopping this week.  It was fun to hit up more than 1 or 2 stores again.  I didn’t make it to Rite Aid yet. I’m hoping if I hold off until Saturday they may restock some of the freebies.

My Farm Fresh trip is depressing!  I spent a TON of money PLUS didn’t get my $10 Catalina for the promo.  The only reason I bought the Chef Boyardee was the promo.  Can’t take them back because my kids will think I’m the best mommy ever.

I also purchased 2 Culinary Circle pizzas for a total of $10.  Rather expensive but they’re tasty and I thought I was getting $10 back.  Mad, mad, mad.  Anyways…

1 lb Creta Farm Ham $6.05 – $1/1 from 01/09 SS = $4.05 (for dinner tonight)

Total Paid $39.99
Total Saved $35.38

I went to Walgreens yesterday.  If you have been reading awhile you’ll know I’m not good with on the spot changes to my plan.  I have to see it all written down, so I messed up my second transaction.  Wanna know why?  I didn’t factor in the $1 off coupon in transaction 2.  Seriously!

See my Walgreens coupon matchups

Total Paid $2.06
Total Saved $22..35
Still have $17 in RR’s (including $5 from last week)

I went to CVS on Sunday hoping to get the Dove body wash for $0.99.  I’m using my last 1 now, so $0.99 is a good price for me.  They were gone!  Already!  I had two store coupons to use, so I bought a couple things we needed.

See CVS coupon matchups

Still have $4 ECB’s

You’ll notice Norton Anti-Viruse Software in the picture too.  Paid $94.49 at Office Depot, will get back $70 after MIR.  $24.49 for the 3 computer protection.

Finally I went to Harris Teeter yesterday for the last day of the sale.  I used my $2.50 Taquitos coupons that were available several days ago plus found pork chops reduced to $3.61 and organic baby carrots for $2 each.  I also bought organic milk (not show).

Total Paid $33
Total Saved $ 39.59
