Food Lion

Here are a very few of the deals Food Lion (FL) has this week:

$2.47/gallon milk
$1.79/lb boneless skinless breasts
Scott paper towels BOGO (buy one get one free). Price for one pkg is $4.09.

Like most chains, FL has a customer card. FL's is called the MVP card. When an item is on sale it shows up on your receipt as MVP savings.

FL also emails 4 coupons here after referred to as FLIPs (Food Lion Internet Printable coupon) every week (on Wednesday's when their new ad comes out) to customers that have registered their email addresses at Foodlion.com. If you are not already signed up do it today!
You can use these store coupons with a manufacturer's Q to get an even better deal. Use them both together when the item is on sale & you've got a great deal!

Tonight I bought:

Hyacinth bulbs $3.33 - $3 flower Q = $0.33
Hyacinth bulbs $3.33 - $3 flower Q = $0.33

FL deli provolone cheese $2.39 (not on sale) = $2.39
deli turkey $4.89 - $1.96 (MVP)=$2.93

2 Zucchini $1.25 - $0.44 (MVP)= $0.81
Gala apples $3.02 - $1.06 (MVP)= $1.96
1 5lb bag potaoes $3.99 - $1 (MVP) = $2.99

6 boxes of Wheat thins $21.54 - $9.54 (MVP) - $6.00 (3 Qs at $2/2) = $6.00
4 pkgs Scott 2 count Mega Roll paper towels $16.36 - $8.18 (MVP) - $4 in Qs = $4.18

In addition to the Manufacturers coupons listed above, I also used 2 FLIPs: (1) $2 off a $5 deli or bakery purchase and (1) $2 off a $5 produce purchase.

+$60.11 was my total after taxes

-$20.94 My MVP savings
-$20.00 coupon savings

=$19.17 out of pocket (OOP). 15 months ago I would have paid $60.11!!

If you are interested in the FLIPs I used tonight I can send you a link to print them now. Just leave me a comment.
