I’ll be doing a post of Price Cutter’s very best deals every week for all of you in Missouri who have one of these stores. I like them because they double coupons up to $.50 (they won’t double coupons that state “do not double”) and they generally have good sales. On the down side, you have to carefully scrutinize your receipt during and after purchase because they often have their prices wrong. Click on the logo above to check out their website for weekly ads & store locator. Note that any FREE items after coupons will be highlighted in green.

Personally, their sales look pretty unimpressive this week, especially their lack of meat sales. I’ll be skipping Price Cutter again this week.

MEAT/POULTRY/SEAFOOD

Keep an eye out for a $10.00 rebate off any Meat or Seafood purchase (total must exceed $10.00 before taxes). 1 per household, expires 8/2. This is a Mail-In Rebate, in my store, I found them in the liquor section on a tearpad in a beer display (no liquor purchase required with this rebate).

Midwest Reserve Certified Black Angus USDA Choice Boneless Beef Top Sirloin Tip Steak (family pack) $3.99 lb.

Tyson Chicken Leg Quarters $.59 lb. (10 lb. bag)

Rodeo or Hunter Bacon 16 oz. $2.00

Farmland Bacon Thick Sliced 12 oz. $2.50
NOTE: On all the Farmland products, if you sign up at Farmland for their coupon mailing list HERE , they will send you a whole sheet of coupons varying from $.55 to $1.00 off ANY Farmland Product.
Use $1.00/1 Q
Final Cost $1.50

Midwest Gold Premium Pork Steak 10 lb $1.39 (not that great a price for a 10 lb. package)

Note: They are having a 10lb. meat package sale, but you can get the same prices on these and you don’t have to buy 10 lbs. Nothing impressive in the meat section this week at all.

PRODUCE

Olathe Bi-Color Corn $.20 ea

Dole Classic Iceberg 12 oz. or Cole Slaw 14 oz. $.99

California Kiwi $.25 ea

Organic Celery $1.39

Note: If your store doesn’t have the $10.00 Meat rebate, they might have a $6.00 Produce Rebate, so keep an eye out for this one too! I found mine on a beer display right next to our produce section (no liquor purchase is required for this rebate) This one expires 7/31, $6.00 off fruit or produce, purchase must exceed $6.00.

Wordless Wednesday-My Dad

I’d like to take a moment to remember my dad, who passed away 2 years ago on August 1st after a battle of cancer.  He was a strong, intelligent man and I still miss him every day. I had the good fortune to do a lot of traveling around the United States with my parents when I was a kid and the first picture is of my dad & me in the late 1980’s. He collected t-shirts with quirky sayings as we journeyed around the country, he’s wearing one of his favorites in the 2nd picture “Beam me up Scotty, there’s no intelligent life down here.”
