Grocery Gathering- Commissary Deals

March 20, 2008 |

Don’t throw away your expired coupons…. military families stationed overseas can use coupons for up to six months after the expiration date. Are you stationed overseas and would like to receive expired coupons? Shoppers around the web want to support our troops by sending you their expired coupons. Email me at thehappyhousewife@comcast.net for all the details.

note from a military spouse…

Today, I tore off a Pepsico Smart Spot mail in offer form at the Sugar Grove Commissary. Though we’re mid-way through March already, if you purchase 15 upc’s from participating products (Gatorade, Quaker, Tropicana to name a few) and send them in along with your commissary receipt you get a $5 Commissary Gift Certificate by mail. These are products I already buy so even though there’s only 2 weeks left you might cash in on it. It’s a March deal. The website http://www.smartspot.com has a complete list of participating products. I don’t know if this is just our local store or not but it’s worth checking into.

Another tip from Bangor Commissary in Washington

My good find yesterday was the Goodlife Recipe catfood 3lb bag
for 3.49.  If the $3 off coupon from a recent insert is used this makes the catfood $0.49.  Quite a deal.
Also certain Kraft salad dressings are at 1.50, if the .75/2 coupon
is used this makes them $1.12 each, not too bad.

Do you know of a great Commissary deal this week? Email it to me at thehappyhousewife@comcast.net and I will post the deal and link back to your site.

    Hi! I wish we were close enough to the commissary! It costs us $40 in gas there and back; and I just can’t justify it. If I had a big freezer, I would go once a month for meat and stock up on everything! I’ve never heard of a case sale… We haven’t ever lived on a base, and our commissary shopping has been sporadic. How many Bounty paper towels do you get for $1.29? Just curious.

    Catalinas are the coupons that print out at the register at many grocery stores. They often run deals where if you buy 5 cereal boxes, you get a catalina for $10 good on your next purchase. When you combine these with coupons you can end up turning a profit for buying stuff. You’re right, I don’t ever remember getting a catalina at a commissary.

    Thanks for stopping by.

    The Bounty Paper towels are $1.29 for a roll. There is a Proctor and Gamble coupon out there for Bounty, the commissary had them in their coupon pile earlier this month.
