Heb Ad - Sept 4th - 10th


Prices are from my store ad.

Please remember Heb has regional ads and they can vary greatly in meat and produce prices, so please go online and view your local zip code to confirm you have the same prices as my ad. I have noticed a variance in stores just 3 miles apart.
My Heb shopping 101 can be found here.
Please note HEB no longer allows the stacking of their yellow coupons with promise of a new digital program that does not look promising from what I have seen so far and is currently only available in College Station.

Large Hass Avocados $1

Cantaloupe .98 each

Salad tomatoes .58/lb

Cilantro bunch ,25

Daisy Sour Cream (8 oz) 2 for $1 with in store coupon wyb 2

Cheese Nips (8 oz) $1
Use $1/3 coupon from 8/11 Smart Source insert
$0.67 each after coupon wyb 3

Vlasic homestyle pickle relish (8 oz) $1
Use $1 printable
Free after coupon

Not advertised but HEB is having their P&G catalina offer.  Buy $30 in P&G products in a single transaction and get $10 oynso back (catalina also requires a $30 purchase to use, so not as great as times past) 
Promotion ends 9/10 and catalina can be used starting 9/11 for 2 weeks (so NO you cannot roll these!)

Will have a separate post for a couple deal ideas with currently available rebate offers!!!

McCormick Gourmet Seasonings - Better than Free at Walmart

I hate posting deals at Walmart until I verify them myself since so many times I go on wild goose chase only to turn up with my store not having the items on sale.
But, this one I am excited about and just got two of these myself

McCormick Gourmet seasoning packets for $1.64 each
Use $2 printable (zip 33033) to get them better than free
*I took the picture from further back so you can see these are in the aisle with packet gravy and if you want to read the varieties, just click on the picture to enlarge :D

Thanks Mayra for the zip that still works :D

Other freebies or better than:
Wet and Wild nail polish, lip or eye pencils $0.93
use $1 coupon from 8/25 Red Plum insert
$0.07 overage

Gillette Foamy Shave Gel $1.72 (if you can't find the trial size for 1.27)
Use $6/3 coupon from 8/11 Red Plum insert
$0.28 overage on each

The Old El Paso I have seen floating around is NOT $1 at my stores, (more like 1.88 :( )

Randalls - WOW oh WOW ibotta combined with in store cats = FREE STUFF!

First, I would like to preface this with I had NO clue there was a Kimberly Clarke catalina offer and I honestly have NO clue how I earned it! (I am thinking perhaps Randalls is a participating store on the buy $30 get $10 cat from Kimberly Clarke products being advertised at other stores- if that is the case, I spent $41.38 on participating products which is well over the threshold)

Ok, I spent an out of pocket of $56.12 but after analyzing my receipt it appears my cereal did not ring up the loaded $5 Friday pricing and my free milk did not come off for buying 4 participating cereals from GM so I need to go back to the store and get a refund of $6.81.
I earned a $10 cat for the store promo buy $75 get $10 (in my experience these are calculated AFTER all Randall's discounts but before manufacturer discounts)
$10 cat for the Kimberly Clark purchase (I already mentioned that)
$1 off my next purchase using Discover Card (for using my Discover card :D)
10 bonus boxtops for education for my school :D
and should earn $34.75 in ibotta offers and bonus offers AND $1 from Upromise
That would make my final tally (if everything goes as planned):
$56.12 - 6.81 refund - $10 oynso cat - $10 oynso cat - $1 oynso cat - $1 upromise - $34.75 ibotta = Profit of $7.44

Here is how my transaction played out (I promise to do my best not to confuse but with all the bonus ibotta's it might get a little confusing):

Not ibotta related(these were just to get my total over $75 to earn the $10 oynso they are promoting this week, I was also given a $15 off your $75 purchase from my awesome friend Maya, so I had to actually get my total over $90 to account for that coupon- there is also a $5 off $50 you can print here after earning FREE points to print this coupon.
6 Freschetta pizzas $3.99 after in ad coupon and J4U loadable (limit is 3 so I made sure to load the coupon as well as clip so I could get the limit twice, or 6 in one transaction)
-2 $3/2 printables NLA (no longer available)

= $2.66 each after coupon(not pictured because I was too lazy to pull out of my deep freezer)

**Since I already did the Huggies Wipes and Huggies diapers (in a previous post) yesterday and I did the Poise today at Kroger for $2.99 less $1 printable, I have the 10 qualifying items to get the $20 bonus AND the $5 bonus from doing 2 offers in 2 days.

@In the beginning of my post I don't account for the $5 bonus or the Poise or the offers for Pampers sinces those were in a separate transaction.  I will look for those receipts to get my final tally but I have to save if it isn't in the positive it is pretty darn close :D
