13 molly August 28, 2009 at 9:56 pm: the fruit snacks
14 Grace from Mansfield OH August 28, 2009 at 9:56 pm: I have been a little stressed with my husband in Kansas City and I am in Ohio with 5 kids, so I have been enjoying the Sobe energy drinks. They really hit the spot!
15 Diana August 28, 2009 at 10:10 pm: I love the fruit snacks, you get them for cheap and if you buy the right amount you even get money back.
16 Dawn August 28, 2009 at 10:10 pm: Life cereal and Sobe water.
17 Beth August 28, 2009 at 10:13 pm: The best match up I see is the cascadian farms- got a KRoger coupon in the mail for these and the Wanchai Ferry- with a $2.00 off coupon!

I'd LOVE to win the gift card..
19 Modern Day Mom August 28, 2009 at 10:19 pm: I love the Honey Nut Cheerios deal! I'm not sure if I'm doing the math right... is it $1.99 before or after the instant savings? If it's before, then it would be $1.99 - $0.50 instant savings wyb 10 items - $0.55 Honey Nut Cheerios printable - $1 Honey Nut Cheerios via CellFire (if the registers still stack CellFire and manufacturer coupons) = better than free! Even if it's $1.99 after the instant savings, then it would still only be $0.44 for one box!
20 Kristina August 28, 2009 at 10:19 pm: Strange my first comment didn't show up. Maybe I forgot to press enter. I would love to be entered. My favorite mega event item is kind of boring it is the Fiber One Cereal. There were coupons for $0.75 off a while back that made the cereal $0.50-free. My girls like it for breakfast. Thanks again : )

22 Julie August 28, 2009 at 10:23 pm: What is your favorite sale item from this week’s Mega Savings Event? Tostitoes Chips & Dips (always need these)
What’s the best coupon matchup you see? I have a $1 Qauker Granola Bar coupon so the box will be $.70!

Thanks for the giveaway!
23 dawn Blay-Smith August 28, 2009 at 10:27 pm: the Macaroni Grill Entrees I got for 1.49 each (normally 5.99) my $1.00 Q doubled to $2.00 and they were on sale for 3.49.
