I was able to get both the turkey and the ham free today using 10 gbax. Total cost before gbax on both was over $35 so it was definitely better for me to use the 10 gbax on the meat instead of waiting until the end of the month to redeem them for only $15 in groceries. The great thing was, I also bought 10 other items while I was in the store and scored another 10 gbax that I will use at the end of the month. Though the pig in my town is really expensive compared to Aldi where I usually shop, if I go and only buy 10 items with a coupons, it has definitely been working to my benefit. I hope the Pig continues this coupon promotion for a long time.

I went today. Spent 27. Used 10 coupons. 2nd transaction paid .24 in tax for 2 free hams (20 lbs.) The only reason I spent so much was because I picked up some fruit and a couple things without coupons.

Does anyone know if this list will work for Piggly Wiggly in Florida? We're going to Cape San Blas this summer and we do most of our grocery shopping at the Pig in Port St. Joe.
Thanks

The capri sun was a manufacturer q - $1/1 good on the sunrise line of capri suns. The pig does carry these and they are included in the sale. They are available cheap on ebay.

There are several links to Del Monte coupons in the Hot Coupon World database. Here is one: http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?bt=wg&tqnm=... I already at my limit so can't really tell if it is still valid.

There are several Quaker coupons floating around but this one at red plum should do the trick: http://www.redplum.com/pages/ViewOffer.aspx?id=...
The True Delights don't appear to be included in this sale

I am excited that the Pig is doing the coupon thing again this week- use 10 coupons get 10 GB. Got my ad in the mail yesterday. There is a manufacturer q on the back for $3 off a Butterball turkey. They are $1.29/ lb. It also says the website has printable coupons (www.thepig.net). I haven't checked it out yet but will soon.

Good idea. I did a dumb thing and used mine to order from the online catalog. After several days, they emailed saying it is back ordered until the middle of April. I am a little jealous of everyone actually seeing the gx pay off. I will think about that if they do it again.

I asked the cashier and she confirmed the turkeys are 10-12 lb ones. This time of year turkeys are .99 per pound at my area grocery stores (including Aldi) so I decided to save 10 of my greenbax. Hopefully I will be able to get one ham and one turkey and use all 10.

Great catch Jeri! Since each GBX is normally worth approx $1.50, I'd say 5 GBX ($7.50 value) is well spent on an item worth much more. I would probably buy a hame or turkey anyway without coupons or much of a special price. Using 5 GBX = cha-ching!!

Don't forget to redeem your greenbax this weekend for free groceries! Also the current ad shows either free ham or free turkey with 5 greenbax starting 3/31. Do you think it is better to save 5 of my greenbax to use for that or go ahead and use them this weekend?

Went to the Piggly Wiggly in S. Macon yesterday and was surprised when I got to the register that the Manager told me they were not excepting internet coupons any longer. They have received a number of copied coupons and have decided to not take them at all! We told her that most of the coupons; that everyone is getting is from the internet but that didn't matter to them. Just letting you know so your not surprised as I was! My whole cart was based off internet coupons!!!

FYI- Pig has Ore Ida 3/$5 this week through the 23rd. That is a great price. I usually pay $2.50 each. Jenny posted the Q previews for this coming Sunday and it looks like there will be a Q for the Hashbrowns. They are part of the sale! If you get this Q in your region you can use it towards earning the GBX. ; )

Piggly Wiggly in TN DOES double coupons up to 60 cents. I don't get their flyer because it is not in my city. One is in Spring CIty, TN and one is in Pikeville, TN I don't think they do green baxs, but I will check out their flyer as soon as I get one and see if it is basically the same sales or not.I found their web site, but you cannot view sales flyer there.

Went to the pig today and bummed that they are still out of beech nut lets grow micro. tubs : ( It's been several weeks now and they still haven't restocked. They said the truck comes on Thursdays. So hopefully there will be some tomrorow. I have 30 more Q's for those I need to use before the 23rd! Might head to another Pig.

Anyway today I didn't do so great since I couldn't use my beech nut Q's. I had left my other Q's at home. So I got:

2 Hormel micro meals for hubby's lunch $2.50 each - 2 $1 binkie Q at store.
1 beech nut tub found behind the gerber tubs : )- $1.19- $1/1 Q
2 beech nut rice cereals- $1.79 each - 2 $1/1 Q's
2 gatoraide drinks- $1.50 each- 2 .50/1 Q's
1 Johnson & Johnson baby cotton swabs- $1.99- $1/1 Q

Paid $8 OOP and earned 8 GBX. No great but going again tomorrow and hope to do much better! Also will do multiple transactions since I found out today that they will allow it!

I have gone to the Pitt Stop on Forest Drive 4 times this week attempting to use my stamps to buy gas. They said they could give me credit towards my stamps but not use them. When I insisted, they claimed their internet server was down try the next day – 3 tries later – no luck. I talked to the Piggly Wiggly store manager and he planned to contact Pitt Stop to discover what the problem is. I talked to another person who has received credit on greenbax from buying gas there but never attempted to use the stamps to pay for the gas.

Here is what I picked up this week:

5 - 20 ct Mission Fajita Tortilla @ $1.59
used 5 $1/1 Manufacturer Coupons
26 - Snickers Bar @ $.89 each
used 13 $.50/2 Manufacturer Coupons
1 - Beech Nut EZ Pour Oatmeal @ 1.99
Free with Manufacturer Coupon (mailer from registering with Beech Nut)
2 - Beech Nut Jarred Baby Food @ $.99 each
Free with Manufacturer Coupons (mailer from registering with Beech Nut)
8 - Simply Asia Sauce Pouches at $2.09 each
used 8 $.50/1 Manufacturer Coupon
2 - McCormick Spice Kits at $1.99 each
used 2 $1/1 Manufacturer Coupons

The total of these transactions was $37.34. I received 30 books of Greenbax worth $45 for a net profit of $7.66. I have started taking cash from the gas budget to pay for groceries at The Pig and will use the Greenbax for gas. It is like getting an extra 20% gas for the same money and getting the groceries for free.

what problems have you had with the Pitt Stops? I haven't used one yet, but I plan to with the ridiculous number of Greenbax I have amassed.

I went in to the Pig this week to alert them to problems with Pitt Stops and the Greenbax program. I happened to mention that I really liked the 10 Greenbax for 10 coupons program. The manager on duty told me that it was his understanding the program will now be offered every month. Shoppers can participate in the program for the first 3 weeks of every month (through the 23rd I think he said) and then redeem the Greenbax for up to $15 off their grocery bill the last week of the month. Let's watch this…..
