Pantry Cleanout Menu Plan
Posted on | January 25, 2010 | 6 Comments
I’m beginning to see the light at the end of my freezer! There’s still lots there, thankfully, and I think I’m just going to keep up this Pantry-Based menu planning and utilize sale items and my CSA to round out the meals. This week I snagged some great deals and was able to stock up on some household essentials as well as pick up great deals on my favorite organic items using a killer combination of coupons (many mentioned in this post).

Albertson’s Deal: 4 Packages of Steamfresh for $1.11
Posted on | January 24, 2010 | No Comments

I was so excited today about a deal I got on some frozen veggies and I just had to share it, since there’s still a chance to capitalize on this deal before Tuesday!
I realized last week when I was cashing in on some double coupons at Albertson’s that their registers have some sort of glitch whereby they will accept any Bird’s Eye Steamfresh coupon for any Bird’s Eye Steamfresh product, regardless of what’s specifically mentioned on the coupon. This happened in my favor at two different Albertson’s now, so there’s a good chance it could work in your favor too.
If you have a preferred savings card (if you don’t, just go to Customer Service and they’ll hand you one), you can get these vegetables on sale for $0.99 each.
There are three diferent steamfresh coupons floating around currently, and if you happen to dumpster dive for Sunday papers you might have accumulated a few extra:
1 coupon is for $0.35 off any Steamfresh Vegetables (1/10 Smart Source)
1 coupon is for $1.50 off any Steamfresh Meals (1/17 Smart Source)
1 coupon is for $1.00 off 2 “Lightly Sauced” Vegetables (available here)
I was able to use all three coupons for 4 regular frozen vegetables, even though the coupon said “Steamfresh Meals” and “Lightly Sauced” veggies. I didn’t want the latter two, which were laden with food additives, yeast extracts (read: MSG) and gluten. I’ll take the plain old veggies, thank you!
When all four rang up to $1.11, I was pretty excited, and only wished I had printed out more coupons!
This is a steal of a deal, so if you have these coupons on hand, get thee to Albertsons!
