***chat*** Shaw's Supermarket Chat Thread

Quote from iwantitfree : Still trying to get on board with the deals after vacation. So, there's a Viva deal both at Shaws and at S&S? Are people doing both? I'm not sure what coupons I have for Viva but if it's a great deal Ishall try it. Any recommendations about which store to hit if I can only do one? Edit: I have only $1/2 coupons for the Viva. Is it worth it?

the $2.50/4 cat deal is good until 8/5 at

So you might want to see what the price is in the other stores. It might also depend on how much you need paper towels.

Quote from sandydeal : MMO2, I got your crest coupons today, thank you sooooooo much. did 3 transactions tonight at shaws, 4 crest, 4 viva, 4 honest tea, one with 4 bailey's too, I am bummed that my shaws doesn't have Hazelnut flavor, that's my favorite one, my shaws has irish creme, vanilla, and chocolate, I didn't know they have chocolate cream for coffee, never tried it before...

Glad you got them! Enjoy the overage

I have a FREE Breve creme coffee creamer (up to $3) coupon from Vocalpoint, expires 7/31, not valid in ME, and I wont be able to use it in time. Any of my localish chatter buds want it? First to PM me, gets it. Please send your address at the same time, I'll get it out in Wednesday's mail. I will update this when it's gone.

Quote from getgreen09 : hi sweetie! staples rewards -- log into your rewards account. both may and june rewards should be there. staples is no longer mailing out rewards. you just have to print em out from your online account. good rule of thumb to remember for staples rewards - no matter when you buy in the current month, your rewards are always posted to your account in the 3rd week of the following calendar month, between the 17th and 19th generally, but these days they're coming as early as the 14th- 15th. they will generally send you an email every time the new rewards are posted. nanners, could that be why you don't have your rewards - you were waiting for a mailed version? or did you look online and not see em there? ikea... last i went there, when you paid by debit card, you'd get a percentage back as a voucher at the bottom of your receipt. it's an ikea voucher to use on your next purchase. so if you guys are buying multiple things, separate out the purchases so you can roll the vouchers into the next one and so forth. that's quite a long drive from portsmouth to stoughton. tomorrow is supposed to be in the high 90s again and there are supposed to be massive thunderstorms coming through late afternoon early evening, so plan accordingly. AND, it being monday and all, you're likely to hit quite a lot of traffic on the I-95 in the morning, so plan accordingly. it is vacation season and all, so that might help, but still lots of people could be returning to work on a monday and such. 95 and 93 are horrible in the a.m.

a belated thank you green! printed my rewards

ikea trip went flawlessly! took us about 1hr 45 min each way. didnt hit major traffic, a little bit stop & go in southie but overall nothing i'd complain about. we wrapped everything in plastic bags and tarped it, drove through a few sprinkles and everything was perfectly dry when we got home. my living room looks awesome! still need to paint and hang up curtains/pictures but need the humidity to settle down first, dont want tacky paint for days

been loving my garden! have a few red cherry tomatoes, no ripe big ones yet. got enough pickling cukes to make 20 jars of sweet pickle relish and summer squash to make 20 jars of my summer squash relish. still have lots of cukes coming and my green peppers need more time so will wait for those to make b&b pickles

planning a shaws run tonight for viva & crest, stratham is well stocked

karen, whats a good day to drive up for a visit?

Quote from RamaLama : I wonder if they have only the new gs1 bar codes. Shaw's can't read these yet.

Good afternoon, everyone. Quiet around here. Everyone napping except me?

Had a great time at Hollywood Undead. I was right up front by the stage, and my kiddo hung back. Go figure. Tried to get him to come up front with me, but he declined. Don't get it. We were there to see HIS favorite band. Yet Mom was rockin out harder than the kid.

Hmmmm ... maybe Mom is the kid?

No nap here. Busy "watching" RA video values ads. Although, with no more survey coupons, I might really cut back on RA shopping. Haven't even been once this week!

Quote from kamigirl : .... karen, whats a good day to drive up for a visit?

Best days are Wednesdays and Fridays, but not next Wednesday as Cole's headed to BCH for a follow-up.

Anything I need to watch? I don't have any expiring UPs this week so I'm probably not going.

OAN, I'm so bummed... did a BIG trade with someone for Bounty napkin Qs that never arrived...

Glad you had so much fun! We had a blast at our concert that night too- just a bit different type of music. Meadowbrook is definitely a VERY cool place to see a show! LOL

We went to Parlee this AM (little guy woke up early so we were able to beat the buses and vans of tourists). We picked over 5lbs of blueberries! They are disappearing fast since we got home. They were running a special on the corn, buy a dozen get six free (over the weekend they were doing buy one dozen get one dozen free). I couldn't pass it up because their corn is so good. Figure I'll give some to my neighbor who is always giving me extra zucchini and tomatoes.

Hmmmm, wonder what mom has Friday after therapy....maybe I can convince her to pop over afterwards (since its in sanford).

...I'll also set aside the napkins I bought with mine. We just use Viva select-a-size for napkins instead of trying to find room to keep napkins as well.

Heading out later to shop for my Viva. Hopefully I can snag some goodies as well. Going to head down to stratham and hit up s&s as well.

Quote from islandmama : Got a coupon foldout today that state "Happy New School Year" over $18.00 of coupons inside: ~snip~

Where in the store did you find this? I never seem to find these booklets at the Dover store, probably because I only get to go on Saturday mornings.

Corn special sounds good as this year's regular price at Pete's in Salem NH is $2.75/6 or $5/12; maybe I'll try it if I can get up there before its done. I saw the b1g1 sale on their FB but didn't see it til it was too late. Love all the fresh herbs they've been putting out, such as they now have fresh mint and pretty good looking cauliflower; lettuce is $.90 a head. Even the yellow beans at $1.50/lb aren't bad. Been wanting to get to Parlee's but there's always something (if its not the heat, its something else like a dentist appointment; and if I want to go, at least the PYO field is closed). So with that, I just told DS to get the plums, nectarines, and peaches at Shaw's for $.99/lb as he was in the neighborhood and we needed fruit.

Also told him to get 4 Crest toothpastes and he came back with $4 in cats ($2 and 2 $1s).

Honest tea is $1 each at WF this week through 8/2; know Shaw's is better and I already did the deal enough but I think I might grab a few if I'm down there as I have a few spares and they sell the glass bottle variety; I love the Morroccan Mint and the Peach Oolong; the plastic varieties are still good and I enjoy them enough.

Quote from NHdoubleK : Where in the store did you find this? I never seem to find these booklets at the Dover store, probably because I only get to go on Saturday mornings.

They were at the back of the store where I shop, in between the ends of the aisles and the meat cases. Big cardboard display, with coupon holders attached. Didn't really focus on the design, it might have been like a school bus.

Quote from NHdoubleK : Where in the store did you find this? I never seem to find these booklets at the Dover store, probably because I only get to go on Saturday mornings.

Don't look at Shaws for these, stick with Hannaford. They always seem to have these out. Although once you see the display Dover will probably have them behind the CS counter in Shaws. They would keep the sale items back there if they could I swear....

Anyone know who the new store manager is for Dover Shaws? I noticed Larry was quoted in the news story about the robbery in Portsmouth and his name is on my receipt tonight....haven't been to Dover yet though.

Tonight I kept the car and hit Stratham and N.Hampton and Portsmouth. One transaction at each Shaws, two at S&S. Totally forgot about the Crest and tictacs until I got to the third Shaws.

Also printed my Hannaford coupons but left them at home. Bought a pickling cuke at each store to get my meat cat. 1.79/lb on sale this week.

Also found the puppy a new elevated feeder at TJ Maxx/Marshals in N.Hampton. Saw them up here at $19.99 but didn't buy it cause I wasn't sure of orange and white for colors and the plastic feeder. Saw it for $15 tonight so I bought it. Figure we can always replace the dish with metal from the old one.

Saw Ben&Jerry's Fossil Fuel on clearance at Shaws in Portsmouth. $1, also Eggo fruit pizzas.

New $2/1 3.5lb Pedigree dry dog food blinkies. Usually 4.xx-5.xx not on sale for 3.5lb regular, healthy weight, joint control or 4.xlb small breed bag.

I want to say Thank you so much to Karen and Jenny!!!!!!!!!!!! I am stocked to the ceiling with cookies and bars!! DH isn't so happy, but he'll get over it. Jenny - I used every last one of the coupons you sent me (got them today) today Hope you're doing well tonight, thinking about you tomorrow

Quote from JamesMum : I was thinking the same thing today! I want to move someplace that has a longer growing season....I'm thinking it HAS to be Australia. I just made zucchini muffins with fresh from the garden zucchini, we had sandwiches for lunch with fresh lettuce (no red tomatoes yet) and I was like a kid in a candy store pulling up red potatoes out of the dirt today. I definitely want to plant MORE potatoes next year!

It would be to hot for me somewhere that has a longer growing season I bet I don't do well with heat. OMG your muffins sound so yummy!!! The guy with the veggie cart down the street has had red potatoes for a couple weeks now, so tempting, I may need to try those next year.

Quote from wormbutt : ... I usually just go by if it falls off in my hand when I gently lift it. If you have to tug, wait a few more days. Some people like them a little less ripe though so it will be a trial and error and you will quickly learn when to pick them how you like them.

I felt it yesterday and it didn't come off easily, so I'll try again tomorrow, thanks for the info!!

Quote from purplefdu : I don't think so...thought I passed them on. I will dig through the mess on the couch after I vacuum tonight though and double check. Anyone seen my motivation? ...

OK, I know I didn't get one, LMK when you check, cuz I'll wanna get one somehow.
