  1. great job, shopping at Shoprite.... definitely a money maker. I was unable to do the kraft deal. Too many deals lately, and so little time :) I was able to do Walgreens and Riteaid.

    I do want to get some al fresco sausage this week, hopefully i find it in my shoprite this time. If not, I'll use it in Pathmark, but the price is much higher $3.99 there.

  2. Michelle,
    I always feel that way too... too many deals, too little time. Wish I had learned how to do these deals years ago when I had more free time! But back then I was at the mall spending money!!
    Al fresco sausages are pretty good - I don't usually eat sausages but I like these. Hope you find them.
