I happen to love Coffeemate creamer. I go through a ton of it since it takes a lot of coffee to keep the MFA machine running.
There is a new printable HERE (zip 19543) for $1 off Coffeemate. I can tell you these come along just about never so grab it while you can! The little sizes are regularly $1.79 at Target and as low as $1.50 at Walgreens every few weeks.
Thanks Shannon!

I get a lot of questions about what my personal buy prices are for specific items. Some people (that are more organized than I am) actually have little books that they keep track of prices in. Then they know exactly what the lowest price is on specific items. Usually I just have prices in my head. I don’t like to share my prices because I really think buy prices vary so much according to your specific situation. For example, my buy price for 32 oz loaves of cheese is $5.00. That is pretty much the lowest it gets around here and I actually make a trip to Costco to get that price. In this week’s Safeway ad, they have 32 oz loaves of cheese for $3.99 in the Northwest. So clearly the buy price there would be much lower.
I think the prices change as well according to your needs. I have 2 girls in diapers- so my buy price for Jumbo packs used to be $4. That was managable when I just had one kiddo to worry about. Now that I have two in diapers I raised the price to $6.00 since I need to find double the deals. It also depends on your time. If you simply don’t have the time to visit more than one store a week than your prices might be a little bit higher than other people.
So I don’t think it is neccessary to focus on every single item you buy. But you might take a look at the items you consisently buy (like diapers) and try to determine what a great price is in your area. Also, I am a vegetarian so we don’t get very fancy around here with proteins. I asked my friend Shannon to share her prices for meats. This was actually great information for me as well. Since proteins are a huge part of your weekly budget- this can easily help shave some money off your weekly budget by trying to stick to the prices she has outlined for us.
Beef
Poultry
Pork
So thanks to For the Mommas for creating this list. I am actually going to print this out and keep in in my coupon pouch so I know when I am getting a good deal!

I am taking a quick look at the Safeway ad for Nor CA- the deals are listed HERE but these are based on the NW ad.
A few notes:
Pineapple is $1.99- I am hoping it is Del Monte so we can use the .75/1 HERE (I’d print this one now just in case!)
Our Lucerne 32 oz Cheese is $5.99 not $3.99 (I just got Tillamook at Walmart for $5.78- better cheese and better price!)
Sadly, we got cheated out of the great meat sale with $1.49 chicken and ground beef etc.. I was really looking forward to stocking up. Boo!
And the 10 lbs of potatoes are not in our ad for .98 but I just got 10 lbs at Walmart for $1.87
Due to the fact that Safeway was such a stinker- I took a quick look at other stores. Here are a few highlights:
NUGGET MARKET:
Fresh Boneless Chicken Breast $1.77
Pork Chops $1.77
Grapefruit .50
**Reader Monica sent in THIS coupon for a FREE salad at Nugget with $10 purchase! (Thanks Monica!)
WHOLE FOODS:
California Pizza Kitchen Pizza $4.99
Use $1/1 HERE

I got a coupon HERE this morning for $1 off Starbucks coffee at any grocery store. Now my Safeway has Starbucks kiosks inside the store AND they offer a free Latte when you buy a bag of coffee. I just ordered a free gift card to Starbucks using my Swagbucks so my plan is to try and buy the coffee at the kiosk- use the coupon and get a free Latte! I’ll let you know if it works!
Remember there are specially marked bags of Starbucks coffee that offer a free brewed coffee when you bring in your empty bag. Be on the lookout for those bags!
