Groceries

All Sprouts Farmers Market locations in Colorado are offering buy one/get one FREE pricing on more than 600 items today, Wednesday, February 15 through Wednesday, February 22. Items include all-natural boneless pork loin chops (to $4.99/pound), 1-lb. bags of frozen EZ Peel shrimp (to $15.98), house-brand sliced or grated cheese (to $3.99), Brown Cow yogurt (6-oz., to 99¢) and many more items.

We used Instacart over the weekend and were very happy with the service! (Thanks to promo and sale, we got 4 dozen roses from Whole Foods Market delivered to our home for FREE — all for $11.96, including tip! We kept one and gave the other three dozen to neighbors.) Even though we prefer to run our own errands (we’re very particular!), sometimes, we need a helping hand. Instacart is a grocery delivery service that can have everything on your shopping list at your door in as little as an hour. They connect you with personal shoppers in your area who pick up and deliver your groceries from your favorite local stores, including Costco, King Soopers, Natural Grocers, Safeway and Whole Foods Market. (Whole Foods Market and Natural Grocers both offer the same prices as you’d find in-store. Prices at the other chains may be higher. Instacart is not a retailer or a seller of groceries or other merchandise.) First-time customers can save $10 their first order ($35 or more) and get FREE delivery, too — just use this link. Regular delivery rates start at $5.99 — not bad, considering the time and gas you’ll save running around. We won’t use the service on a regular basis, but we will definitely call on them, when we’re in a bind.

As if the bargains weren’t bountiful enough at Sprouts Farmers Market, new savings have sprouted on its mobile app. As busy bargain hunters, we love the app because it’s helpful and easy to navigate. And, now, we love it even more because of the ability to harvest more savings with the addition of mobile coupons. Not only can you browse the weekly specials, create a shopping list and find the nearest store on the app, smart shoppers can now “clip” coupons. We searched the app and found some great coupons, including $1 off Zevia Zero Calorie soda (10-pack); $1 off a box of Kashi snack bars; $1 off Good Foods guacamole or dip; $2.50 off MaraNatha No Stir almond butter; $1 off Siggi’s yogurt (24-oz. tub); and a FREE box of Don Francisco’s single-serve coffee (12-ct.) The new money-saving feature just launched and they expect to have up to 100 mobile coupons available. New coupons are added often, so check the app every time you shop. For more details, read on…

Normally, we don’t post many personal experiences on MHOTC, but sometimes we just have to vent and you, our favorite Mile High Cheapskates, are always willing to listen. Yesterday, I headed to my closest King Soopers for some light shopping. As some of you are aware, I often use coupons to pick up extra items to donate to local charities. Using coupons in combination with a sale can sometimes shave the price on food or toiletries down to mere pennies or just the sales tax. My latest outing was to pick up some Colgate toothbrushes. My closest King Soopers is at Monaco & Leetsdale and even when other King Soopers are out of stock for a particular sale item, this store usually has them. Now, I know why.

We always love getting a discount on gift cards, especially because we like to use them with coupons or promos to make them stretch even further. Through Tuesday, August 19, Safeway is offering 15% off the following select multipack gift cards: Cold Stone Creamery, Fandango, IHOP, Microsoft and T.G.I. Friday’s.  Remember, the deal only applies to multipacks – not single gift cards. The packs are usually sold in $30 ($10 gift card x 3), $40 ($10 gift card x 4), $45 ($15 gift card x 3) or $60 ($20 gift card x 3) increments, depending on the retailer. It’s a savings of up to $9. You must use your Safeway Club Card to get the savings.
