My Food Lion Store Brand Super Sale Field Report!

Food Lion logo

I stopped in to Food Lion today to take advantage of their Store Brand Super Sale.  I scanned my MVP card at the Savings Center kiosk and received a coupon for 75 cents off My Essentials rice, so I grabbed a small bag of brown rice for 82 cents. I was unable to find the single bottles of ME water, so instead I selected 3 jars of ME tomato paste. My total came to $1.49.



However, when the cashier rang me up, I did NOT receive a $1.00 catalina for buying 4 store brand items. I know the cat machine was working, because the customer in front of me received one. So, I went to customer service, where I got no help. I was told that they could not force the cat to print and they didn't have any extras to give me. I could have asked them to return and rebuy to see if it would print, but sometimes a dollar isn't worth the hassle. I strongly suspect that my use of a store coupon somehow messed up the deal.

So, I went back and picked out 4 cans of ME tomato pasta, paid $1.44 and got my $1.00 catalina.

I never used anything but store bought pasta sauce until I ran out one day and was too cheap to buy more. I had no idea it was so easy to make your own homemade pasta sauce. This recipe serves six:

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup dry red wine or 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 4 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • Heat oil in a saucepan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Stir in wine and next 6 ingredients (wine through tomatoes), and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, uncovered, about 15 minutes. Stir in parsley.

    Free Papa John's Pizza Deal!


    Papa Johns logo

    Get a FREE pizza from Papa John's after you buy just one pizza that costs $12.00 or more.  Go HERE to order with the code PAPASGIFT and you will get a Bonus 25 points in your Papa John's Rewards account! (Make sure you are already signed up for the rewards program first.) Since it takes 25 points to get a FREE pizza, your next order will be FREE

    You must wait 24 hours after earning them before your can use your Papa Rewards. This deal ends on January 7th!

    Hot Tip: The pizza doesn't have to be $12.00 minimum, but the total cost does. In Virginia, there is a 10% restaurant tax, so you can select a pizza that costs less than $12.00 so long as your total after tax is over $12.00!

    This month Food Lion will also be having a Store Brand Super Sale from January 2- 29, 2013!  When you buy a certain number of items, you receive a catalina coupon for your next order. The secret to maximizing the deal is to "roll" the catalina - use it to buy more store brand items, rinse and repeat. Here are the details:
    Buy 4 save $1.00
    Buy 6 save $1.50
    Buy 8 save $2.00
    Buy 10 save $2.50
    Buy 20 save $5.00
    Buy 40 save $10.00
    Minimum 4 items, maximum 40 items per transaction.
    This equates to 25¢ extra off each store brand item when you buy in sets of 4!

    Here are some staples you might want to stock up on, with pre- Store Brand Super Sale Prices listed:

    Buy 4 single bottles of water for $1.08 and get back a $1.00 catalina. Use the $1.00 catalina to buy 4 more inexpensive items and keep on going from there. I am going to stock up on tomato paste and tomato sauce, so I can make my own pasta sauce.

    Happy New Year!


    Happy New Year


    I want to wish all the Loudoun County Limbo readers a joyful 2013!  I started this blog one year ago today as my 2012 New Year's resolution.  I knew absolutely nothing about blogging - just that I got a lot of things for free and wanted to share the info with others who were interested in couponing, doing rebates, and saving money.

    In 2012 I spent a total of $2136.60 on groceries and toiletries for my family of two adults, 3 teenagers, and 2 dogs.  That equates to an average of  $41.08 per week!   I also sent off for $585.00 in rebates and received $76.90 from Saving Star.

    This year my resolution is to expand Loudoun County Limbo even more. I plan to post more deals, more coupons, and more useful information - including low cost recipes, dumpster diving finds, internet bargains and tips for frugal living.

    I welcome your comments, questions, and suggestions!
