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.

My Farm Fresh & Walgreens Shopping Trips (02/02)

by Dana Zeliff on
in Farm Fresh Weekly Ads, My Shopping Trip

After all my Internet issues this morning (working great now!), I finally made it to Farm Fresh.  I was super excited to see “Try Me Free” on the Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut Cereals.  I “made” $4 on those! 

See my Farm Fresh matchups

Milk $3.63
Celery $0.99
Eggs $1.49
Miracle Whip $2.50 (needed it)
2 Pop Tarts $2
2 Kellogg’s Crunch Cereal $2.50 – $1/1 from 01/23 RP insert = $1 (TRY ME FREE ON BOX!)
1 Oreo cookies $0.49
1 Sabra Hummus $0.24
1 Yoplait Yogurt FREE (request coupon)
6 Campbell’s soups FREE
3 Activia FREE

Total paid $16.18
Total Saved $30.15
Like spending $12.18 after MIR

I took the kids with me on Monday to Walgreens.  BAD idea.  I forgot how difficult it is to take both kids coupon shopping.  I ended up spending more OOP than I should have.  If I had read my chicken scratch correctly, my 3rd transaction would have been only tax.  However, I did find $4 off peelies on the Blink Tears-$4 moneymaker!

See my Walgreens matchups

Transaction 1
Blink Tears
-$4/1 peelie
Paid $3.99
Saved $8.80
Earn $8 RR

Transacti0n 2
Advil Congestion
Thermacare
Arnicare
VA Pilot $2
4 Butterfinger Snackerz
– $2/1 Advil
– $3/1 thermacare
– $2/1 arnicare
– (2) $1/2 snackers
– $1.82 snackerz WAGS in-ad coupon
– $8 RR from transaction 1
Paid $3.67
Saved $28.62
Earned $11 RR

Transaction 3(not planned until I saw peelie)
Blink Tears
Russell Stover Heart Candy (filler)
– $4/1 peelie
– $0.30 candy WAGS in-ad coupon
Paid $4.29
Saved $9.10
Earned $8 RR
See my problem?  I thought I wrote I’d get a $4 RR in transaction 2, so I didn’t have a more expensive filler.  The kids were half out the door and a line was behind me, so I just paid OOP

Total Paid $11.95
Total Saved $46.52
Still have $19 RR

How did you do?

Sorry for the delay, my internet was going in and out this morning.  Why on a Wednesday?  The matchups look a bit odd since part of them were done in a word doc using my phone.  Fun morning, really J

The back of the main ad & back page of insert there are lots of manufacture in-ad coupons.  These all start with a “9” won’t double and can’t be combined with other manufacturer coupons.  There are Store in-ad coupons on the extra insert that I have listed in the matchups that CAN be combined.

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

Farm Fresh Recipe Idea: Chicken Spaghetti

by Dana Zeliff on
in Farm Fresh Weekly Ads, Recipes

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

I’m rather late in putting together a recipe idea from the Farm Fresh weekly ad for the week of 01/26.  This recipe lacks creativity, so I’ll work on something better for next week 🙂

Chicken Spaghetti

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken Breasts
     – FF Split Breast Chicken $0.99 lb (~$2)
  • 1 package of spaghetti
     – $1/2 Mueller’s Product, exp. 1-31-11 (SS 01/02/11) ($1)
  • 1 Jar of Spaghetti Sauce
    – Ragu 2/$2 with in-ad coupon ($1)
  • Fresh Baked French Bread ($1.79)

Directions

  1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions.  Drain, and set aside
  2. In a large pot of boiling water, cook chicken until no longer pink, approx. 20 min.
  3. Shred chicken and add to spaghetti sauce, heat
  4. Serve sauce over hot cooked pasta 
  5. Serve with French bread

Total: $5.79

*Shopping from my stockpile, I had free pasta and only paid $0.25-$0.50 for sauce, so my price would be $4.29 at most

by Dana Zeliff on
in Farm Fresh Weekly Ads, My Shopping Trip

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

I bought several non-coupon items this week.  Good news is that other than a trip to Harris Teeter for organic milk and yogurt (my Farm Fresh only carries Blueberry Stonyfield yogurt), I’m done for the week. 

I don’t have time for my usual breakdown, but everything is the same as the matchups except:

2 FREE Wrigley’s Dessert Gum
2 FREE New York Snacks coupon from yesterday (coupon gone)
Milk $3.63
Baked Tostitos $2.50
Sun Chips $2.50
Red Grapes $2.04
Eggs $0.88

Total Spend $23.07
Total Saved $30.58
only 58%

How did you do?
