Sorry that I haven't done the HEB and Albertsons match ups yet. For some reason I didn't receive them in the mail, so I had to run to the stores to pick them up. I've got them now, so I'll be sitting down to get them written up for you.

Did you know that you can check their ads online?

Albertsons ad can be found at www.albertsonsmarket.com.

HEB's ad can be found at www.heb.com.

I like to have a paper copy in front of me before doing the match ups, just so I can be sure and read the fine print in the ads.

Hopefully I'll get both of them finished this afternoon.

Inexpensive Bread

Do any of you guys shop at a bread outlet? I know for a lot of people, the idea of a bread outlet is very unappealing. They think of outdated or moldy bread.

We go through a loaf of bread in about 2 days in our house...fixing sandwiches for five people for lunch, toast, buttered bread with supper...well, you get the idea. It goes quick. :) Before I got married I always would buy the cheapest bread that I could find, and I even did it after I got married. One day my husband kindly pointed out that he didn't really like the cheap bread...said it fell apart and just wasn't as good as other kinds. His favorite is Nature's Own Honey Wheat Bread. Well, I didn't want him to suffer :), but I also don't have room in my budget for bread that is $2.50 a loaf...when you are going through 3 or 4 loaves a week, it sure does add up.

Shopping at the bread outlet, gives us both what we like...quality bread at a great price.

Nature's Own Bread is priced at 2 loaves for $2.69...almost half the price at a normal grocery store. The deal gets even better, because the last few weeks that I've been to the bread outlet they have had a special deal on Nature's Own products. Buy 2 and get 2 FREE. That's 4 loaves of bread for $2.69...an AWESOME deal!!

I would really encourage you guys to check out your local bread outlet. You might be surprised at the quality of breads that you can find. Oh, by the way...the bread I purchased today has August 26 stamped on it...a good 3 days away.

If you don't think you'll go through bread that quickly, then throw it in the freezer, or go in with a friend/neighbor and split the cost.

For those of you in San Angelo, the bread outlet is located on Sherwood Way down the street from HEB...right next to Taco Bell. I purchase almost all my breads, hot dog/hamburger buns, and bagels there.

Albertsons--FREE KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce

I told you guys about the $0.50 coupon for KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce or Marinade that you could print here.

If you haven't printed it yet, then you are going to want to do it now.

I was at Albertsons today, and the original KC BBQ Sauce is priced at $0.88. After coupon is doubled you'll be able to walk out of the store with FREE BBQ Sauce.

$1.00 off Wheat Thins Stix

Go here and like Wheat Thins on Facebook and you'll be able to print a coupon for $1.00 off any one Wheat Thins Stix product. Once it prints, simply hit the back button a couple of times and you'll be able to print it a second time.

If you choose to share the information on your Facebook wall, you'll then be able to print an additional coupon for $1.00 off any one Wheat Thins product.

My family loves crackers and cheese, so I am excited about these coupons. Now to just wait for a good sale. Albertsons sometimes puts Nabisco crackers on sale 2 for $4.00 or even 3 for $5.00. Hopefully they'll have a good sale before the coupons expire.

Go ahead and print now if you are interested, because I don't think these coupons will last long.

Thanks Hip2Save!

Chili's -- Kids Eat FREE (Today Only)

Today, August 22nd, Chili's is running a great promotion...Kids Eat FREE!! Go here and print this coupon off. Fine print states that you can get two Kids Meals for each adult entree that you purchase.

I have to say, that I love going out to eat with our family. Something about sitting down and talking to our kids and not having to worry about cooking or cleaning up. I always feel like I learn something new about our kids when we go out to eat. It can get very expensive though, so I love looking for deals like this. If you skip the drinks, then you should be able to get a nice sit down meal for the entire family for under $20.00...a better deal for our family than going through a drive through.
