How to Get Healthy Food with Strategic Shopping at Price Chopper this Week
My non-couponing friends are always telling me that they don’t bother using coupons because there are no coupons available for real food and they don’t want to just feed their family junk.
I understand.
Honestly, there are a lot of junk food coupons.
I got a deal on Oreos and Doritos just this week.
But, please hear me, friends, I also used coupons to buy butter, eggs, and cucumbers this week!
There are coupons for milk, yogurt, meat, produce, and bread.
Most of these coupons are found right in the store on items they are trying to get rid of quickly.
I always take advantage of these deals.
I use coupons to buy tea, coffee, and juice.
If I am unable to find coupons on things my family uses, I simply ask the companies if they could mail some to me.
I am going to be writing up an article explaining the different ways I get real food coupons and coupons on items my family actually uses on a weekly basis.
Here is what I got at Price Chopper this week.
2 boxes of Cocoa Puffs – The regular price was $3.99. They were on sale for $2.50. I had store coupons and manufacturer coupons from the newspaper. I paid $0.99 per box.
I chose boxes that had more manufacturer coupons printed on the back of the box.
2 family size packages of Oreos. I have been watching for a deal on Oreos all winter! They just weren’t coming down in price!
This week, however, they are on sale 2/$6.00. I used a digital coupon for $3.00 off. I also got a coupon in the mail that gave me an additional $0.50 off.
I paid $1.25 each!
My favorite hot green tea is actually the Price Chopper brand. They have their tea bags on sale this week 2/$5.00. I had a $0.50 off coupon that I had received in the mail.
Annie’s organic macaroni and cheese is on a 10 for $10.00 deal this week. You don’t actually have to buy ten to get the deal.
I had a printable manufacturer coupon for $0.50 off from a purchase of two boxes.
I picked up two boxes and the coupon doubled to $1.00 off making them $0.50 each.
I got a 2 bottle of Pics brand ginger ale and one bottle of the raspberry ginger ale. These are on sale for $0.88 per 2 liter bottle. I didn’t have a coupon, but I liked the sale price.
I got two bags of Doritos at $1.99 each. No coupon necessary, but you must buy two in order to get the deal.
I grabbed a bag of the Pics brand jumbo marshmallows for $0.88.
I got four of the Stouffer’s lasagnas at $2.00 each. I had a store coupon that I received in the mail, plus a Catalina coupon that I had received on a previous shopping trip.

Where Do I Get These Coupons
You can get the store coupons from the store’s ad in the Sunday paper.
Some of our local free papers also carry the Price Chopper sales ad with these coupons in it.
You will not find these higher valued coupons in any of the ads found inside of Price Chopper.
You can print them out from the Price Chopper website.
Make sure you read the dates carefully on their website coupons because they tend to add in more than one week’s coupons.
You can also just clip the coupon in your Price Chopper digital coupons.
You can not use both a digital store coupon and a printable store coupon on the same item.
Newspaper Coupons
I got the majority of my manufacturer coupons right out of the Sunday newspaper.
The Price Chopper ad also comes in the newspaper and this is where they offer their higher valued store coupons.
