hi I write to turkey hill every month, you're allowed to request coupons monthly and it's awesome. They usually send me some 1/1 any turkey hill which i used for the gallons that were priced at 2.00 each on sale so they were free and the 1/2 gallons were on special for 1.19 and I had a $1/2 half gallon tea, juice or lemonade

HTH, they send coupons very quickly with a hand written note in each one, it's really nice of them.

[Moggy]

There were Turkey Hill insert q's too, I saw them when I was going though my huge pile of q's yesterday. Sorry I don't know the specifics, as far as I know they don't sell an unsweetened version so I don't buy it.

I found $1/1 Tearpad Qpons for Cheese Nips (coupon includes other crackers as well!) at Food Lion today which would make them free at HT this week! They were by the beer.
Y'all, be on the look out at the Grocery stores for those little treasures!

Land O Lakes Buttery Spread or Quarters at $2.29 ($1.14)
-.55/1 Land O Lakes Butter, coupons.com(makes it 4¢)

Land O Lakes Butter w/ Olive Oil: 1.07 - .50/1 from coupons.com = .07

[theresahaas]

Thanks so much!

It is weird that I'm disappointed at the prospect of having to pay $0.07?!

I was all excited about my savings too until I got home and realized that they man bagging my groceries forgot to put my pork loin in the cart. I would have gone back but I live 20 minutes from the store so it wasn't really worth it. I called and the manager said to just bring in my receipt next time and they will give me another one plus a gift card. Guess that just means I will have to go back for more tomorrow!

Great running into you again today! Everyone has to convince tinkadink to update her avatar picture so you can see what her son looks like now instead of 6 months ago. He is such a cutie!!

BTW - My DH would have a heart attack looking at your trip photo. He hates anything on the stove top as he has an irrational fear of it spontaneously turning on.
